Abstract:

Objective: Expanding the original scope of the study, which was to explore the decision-making process of pregnant women in the uptake of invasive diagnostic tests - amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) – and taking into account the latest emergence of a Noninvasive Prenatal Testing, NIPT, the primary goal of this study was to explore factors that influence women’s decision to have an invasive, a non-invasive or no further testing at all. Design and sample: The Prenatal Decision Making Questionnaire (PDMQ) developed for the purposes of this study. Following a pilot test and factor

Abstract:

Background: There are few studies on the uptake of non-invasive prenatal screening, but those available suggest substantial variation in uptake in the initial years in which it was offered. There is a need to update the earlier evidence and determine whether there has been any change in usage trends as the number of users have increased. This will help inform policy makers about NIPT uptake under currently existing policies and guidelines which can help inform whether to maintain or refine policies on NIPT. Objectives: The primary objective of this thesis was to investigate recent trends in

Abstract:

This thesis presents findings from a qualitative study of the emergence and early clinical translation of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) in the UK. Drawing from interviews with a range of experts and users I track the enrolment and translation of this new prenatal testing technology across a variety of clinical and social spaces. I show how encounters with NIPD prompt deep critical examination of the moral, social and political implications - not only of the technology - but of the established clinical practices (routine and specialised prenatal testing) and specific policy contexts (p

Abstract:

This research examines the many different ethical issues that emerge in the health care setting with regards to prenatal diagnostic testing. Identifying the areas of clinical practice and religious counselling in need of improvements, particularly physician-client communication, is important to ensure that competent pregnant women make informed, considered choices about prenatal testing. This paper investigates the many factors that contribute to pregnant women's decision-making processes surrounding the acceptance or refusal of the maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein screen, ultrasonography, amn

Abstract:

<p>This study aimed to explore the attitudes to HIV testing among a group of black, low socio-economic status pregnant women from Gugulethu, South Africa. The key research interest was to evaluate the attitudes and understandings of HIV/AIDS that underpin the decision to comply or not comply with prenatal HIV testing. Theories of health behaviour concur that the extent to which an individual will engage in a given health behaviour, such as HIV test compliance, will be a function of the extent to which a person believes she is personally susceptible to the particular illness and her evaluation

Abstract:

An increase in diarrhoea and upper respiratory tract infection has been noted for the past five years and this is associated with the prevalence of Human Immune-deficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. HIV infection is an increasingly common cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in South Africa. In some areas of the country, like the Eastern Cape, more than 30 percent of the women attending antenatal clinics are HIV infected. Without intervention, approximately one third of the babies born to these HIV infected mothers will get infection from their mothers (WHO, 2003). Ai

ABSTRACT Huntington Disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, and for which testing is available. The aim of this retrospective file-based study was to analyse the numbers and demographics of individuals who had diagnostic, predictive or prenatal genetic counselling and/or testing for HD between January 1998 and December 2006 through the Division of Human Genetics, National Health Laboratory Service and University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

Abstract:

The field of prenatal screening and diagnosis has developed rapidly over the past half-century, enabling possibilities for detecting anomalies in reproduction that were never before contemplated. A simple blood sample can aid in the identification of several conditions in the fetus early in the pregnancy. If a fetus is found to be affected by Down syndrome, anencephalus, spina bifida, or Edward's syndrome, a decision must then be made whether to continue or terminate the pregnancy. As prenatal screening becomes increasingly commonplace and part of routine maternal care, researchers are faced w

Abstract:

Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de Medicina<br>Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) brought into obstetrics the unprecedented ability to access the fetal genome with a noninvasive technique. Currently, this technique’s most reliable application is in prenatal screening for trisomy 21. Several studies comparing its performance with traditional maternal serum screening have been published in the last decade, showing its potential in improving overall aneuploidy detection rate, reducing the need for invasive diagnostic procedures (IDP) and broadening our ab
