Abstract:

Postpartum depression affects 7 to 20% of women in the first year after giving birth. Unfortunately, over 50% of women experiencing postpartum depression go untreated due to lack of detection, placing the woman and child at risk for detrimental consequences. One of the most common barriers in detecting and treating postpartum depression is the low incidence of screening performed at primary care and obstetrical visits during the postpartum period. Efforts have focused on improving identification of postpartum depression through the use of a valid screening tool performed throughout the first y

Tuberculosis remains the world’s deadliest communicable bacterial disease with an unacceptably high death rate. In 2013 an estimated 1.5 million people died as a direct result of TB, and nine million new cases were reported. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis cases are on the rise and without novel approaches to combat their spread, tuberculosis will continue to claim the lives of millions worldwide. One such novel approach is to rejuvenate the use of the second-line antibiotic ethionamide. Ethionamide is a structural analogue of the first-line pro-dru

Postpartum depression affects some 10% to 20% of mothers. Its impact on the health and well-being of mothers and their infants is well documented. If not identified and addressed early, it can result in emotional burden, costly hospitalization and treatment, and, at worst, suicide and or infanticide. Empowerment theory was the conceptual framework for this hermeneutic phenomenological study.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) was once a disease process found only in the adult population. However, incidence rates of T2DM in children and adolescents are increasing at alarming rates and becoming a grave public health concern. As many as 5,089 individuals under the age of 20 are newly diagnosed with T2DM each year. The military community is not immune to these national trends and T2DM among military dependents is growing at similar rates to that of the civilian population.

Chlamydia trachomatis infections are a common sexually transmitted infection in the United States in which the majority of cases are asymptomatic. Due to this asymptomatic nature, as well as the serious health issues that arise from untreated infections in women, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a screening policy that annually targets women between the ages of 15 and 25 or older women with risk factors. There is little evidence supporting the efficacy of only screening women and doing so once per year. Through a stochastic epidemiological model, we investigate a

Abstract:

Large and ever-increasing numbers of chemicals, including large quantities of a broad spectrum of organic compounds are used in modern society. More than 30 000 of the more than 100 000 chemical substances registered in the EU are estimated to be daily used, of which many will be discharged into the waste-streams handled by municipal sewage treatment plants (STPs). The main objective of the work underlying this thesis was to improve understanding of the relationships between the characteristics of sewage contaminants and their sewage treatment efficiency. Further objectives were to examine the

Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH<br>BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: The Cape Town Metro District Health Service (MDHS) has introduced a Diabetic RetinopathyScreening (DRS) programme incorporating retinal fundal photography in diabetic services at primary health care (PHC) facilities. Hitherto, coverage of the DRS programme has been less than optimal in part due to volumes of diabetic patients attending PHC facilities. The aim of this study was to identify possible sub-groups of patients, attending the Cape Town DRS Programme, who are at most risk of diabetic retinopathy and might be prioritised for earl
