Abstract:

This thesis provided a definition and conceptual framework for hospital disaster resilience; it used a mixed-method, including an empirical study in tertiary hospitals of Shandong Province in China, to devise an assessment instrument for measuring hospital resilience. The instrument is the first of its type and will allow hospitals to measure their resilience levels. The concept of disaster resilience has gained prominence in the light of the increased impact of various disasters. The notion of resilience encompasses the qualities that enable the organisation or community to resist, respond

Abstract:

Rotavirus (RV) is the leading cause of dehydrating gastroenteritis in young children. RV infections occur both in the community and in pediatric hospital-settings. Nosocomial RV gastroenteritis (nRVGE) incidence was assessed in a systematic review. Between 1 in 7 and 30 young children admitted to general pediatric wards will acquire nRVGE. Surveillance studies providing incidence estimates that include all inpatient hospital-wards are scarce.Our surveillance study assessed nRVGE incidence at a Canadian Pediatric Hospital. The incidence rate was 0.5/1000 inpatient-days (95%CI: 0.43-0.57) with n

INTRODUCTION Stillbirths are a global public health concern. It is estimated that 2.6 million stillbirths occur around the globe annually, of which more than 20 000 babies are stillborn in South Africa. This illustrates the magnitude of the prevalence of stillbirths. Many stillbirths are not openly discussed in communities, though the grief thereof is immense and unbearable to the families.

In severely ill hospitalised patients with diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2) there is an increase in metabolic rate. Insulin requirements are increased and glycaemic control becomes more difficult to achieve. The insulin sliding-scale is a form of „top up‟ therapy used to supplement the patients existing hypoglycaemic medication. In 2002, research at Livingstone Hospital found that 14 different sliding scales were used in 38 patients (Du Plessis, 2002: 79).

Abstract:

Background: Tertiary hospitals have multiple specialist outpatient clinics attended by patients suffering from various comorbid diseases. This results in individuals attending more than one clinic per month, since dedicated clinic days are seldom on the same day. As patients attend discrete clinics, they have separate encounters with various prescribers, increasing the potential for irrational drug use. In addition, multiple clinic visits have a negative socio-economic impact on health care users from poorer communities where financial resources are limited due to transport expenses and

Abstract:

Background: Hospital-based research provides important insight into the burden of suicide behaviour and methods used in deliberate self-harm (DSH). The information on methods used in DSH may be useful to plan suicide-related intervention and prevention programmes. We aimed to investigate the socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with the methods used in DSH at a tertiary hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Methods: Socio-demographic, clinical and treatment data were collected from 238 consecutive DSH patients who presented for emergency department treatment at the hospital. Univar

Abstract:

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is now increasingly recognised as an important cause of nosocomial infections in paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients, particularly in developing countries, where it contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, it has been documented that emerging antimicrobial resistance patterns complicate antibiotic choice in these patients. At present, more paediatric data is needed regarding these infections. This is a retrospective case-control study that aims to document the demographic data and relevant clinical details of patients

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION The electroencephalography (EEG), since its inception in the 1930s, has become one of the most used investigative tools in psychiatry. Its uses include exclusion of seizure disorders and encephalopathic conditions. In psychiatry distinguishing between a primary psychiatric disorder and psychiatric manifestations of an underlying medical condition is of vital importance. This determines which course of management the psychiatrist should follow, and most importantly, determines the prognosis. However, EEG studies done in psychiatry have yielded unfavourable results. The yield
