Maternal and neonatal mortality is high in Africa, but few large, prospective studies have been done to investigate the risk factors associated with these poor maternal outcomes.A 7-day, international, prospective, observational cohort study was patients having caesarean delivery 183 hospitals across 22 countries Africa. The inclusion criteria were all consecutive (aged ≥18 years) admitted participating centres elective non-elective during 7-day period. To ensure a representative sample,...
The wide global variation in the definition of rectum has led to significant inconsistencies trial recruitment, clinical management, and outcomes. Surgical technique use preoperative treatment for a cancer sigmoid colon are radically different dependent on local definitions employed by team. A consensus is needed standardise treatment.The was conducted using Delphi with multidisciplinary colorectal experts from October, 2017 April, 2018.Eleven were used participants consensus. Magnetic...
The nature of the chiral candidate bands in $^{106}\mathrm{Ag}$, one only two known examples candidates which actually cross, is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Lifetimes have been determined for these $^{106}\mathrm{Ag}$ using Doppler-shift attenuation method with $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-detector array AFRODITE. level scheme has extended, three negative-parity observed to high spins. Configurations were assigned based on a quasiparticle alignment analysis configuration-fixed...
Abstract Abdominal injury as a result of both blunt and penetrating trauma has an appreciable mortality rate from hemorrhage sepsis. In this article, we present our experience with the management abdominal in Durban investigate factors that influence outcome. We performed prospective study patients one surgical ward at King Edward VIII Hospital over period 7 years, 1998 through 2004. Demographic details, cause injury, delay before surgery, clinical presentation, findings outcome were...
Background . Non-cardiac surgical morbidity and mortality is a major global public health burden. Sub-Saharan African perioperative outcome data are scarce. South Africa (SA) faces unique challenge, engulfed as it by four simultaneous epidemics: ( i ) poverty-related diseases; ii non-communicable iii HIV related iv injury violence. Understanding the effects of these epidemics on outcomes may provide an important perspective country. Objectives To investigate need for critical care admission...
Abstract The records of 152 patients with pancreatic injury treated over a 5-year period were reviewed. diagnosis was made at laparotomy in all patients. Gunshot wounds, stab wounds and blunt trauma occurred 63, 66 23 respectively mean ages 28, 28 30 years. Multiple organ most common after gunshot wounds. Intraoperative management by drainage the site alone majority aetiological groups. rate fistula formation 14 per cent 9 13 trauma. Death 24 h 8, 2 10 following respectively, attributable to...
We have used the ( $ \alpha$ , 2n) and 4n) reactions AFRODITE \gamma$ -ray spectrometer to make a comprehensive study of nucleus 154Gd below $\ensuremath 20\hbar$ . While first excited 02 + state at 681 keV is usually considered be head K^{\pi}=0^{+}$ \beta$ -vibrational band, we propose that data are best described as two separate vacuum states, ground level, each with its own octupole vibrations, pairing alignments. The implications this finding, for understanding structure transitional...
Sigmoid volvulus demonstrates geographical, racial, and gender variation. This autopsy study was undertaken to establish morphological differences of the sigmoid colon its mesocolon in which length other characteristics were assessed. A total 590 cadavers examined (403 African, 91 Indian, 96 White). Length height significantly longer Africans, root narrower Africans. Mesocolic ratio for Indians, Whites 1.1 ± 0.8, 1.8 0.7, 1.9 1.0, respectively. Africans had a high incidence redundant with...
There are differing views regarding the management of oesophageal injuries with some authors advocating mandatory operation while others prefer a selective, conservative approach. This study was undertaken to establish whether cervical is safe and effective.This retrospective carried out over 5 years (1994-1998). Of 1358 patients neck trauma, 220 presented odynophagia, whom 28 were shown on contrast swallow have injury (17 stabs, 11 firearms). Median age 26 (range, 11-44 years). 23 males...
A brief survey of results studies nuclear chirality in the mass 80 and 190 region at iThemba LABS is given, before looking case 106 Ag detail. Here, crossing a pair candidate chiral bands re-interpreted as prolate band by an aligned four-quasiparticle band.
