Home births in the Mosvold health ward of KwaZulu.

A community survey was carried out to determine the frequency and the methods of home deliveries in the Mosvold health ward in northern KwaZulu. Of a sample of 210 mothers interviewed 46% had given birth at home, and of these 48% were delivered by traditional birth attendants; 84% gave birth in a kneeling or sitting position. In 32% of cases handling of the umbilical stump was unhygienic and potentially tetanogenic. Asked their reason for giving birth at home, most mothers gave transport problems and sudden or unexpected onset of labour as their main reason, although a majority of grand multiparas expressed a preference for home delivery. Various recommendations are made on the basis of these findings.

[Feasibility of the in vitro evaluation of bioavailability. 3: Method of operation of a newly-developed absorption model and results obtained with it].

In connection with the function of a newly constructed absorption model the problem of interpretation of values obtained by models in regard of bioavailability is discussed. Wrong interpretations can be obtained if nonanalogous values are compared. An interpretation is proposed to calculate a value which is analogous to the relative bioavailability (calculated bioavailability). The efficiency of the absorption model and of the interpretation method is demonstrated by three examples of preparations of phenytoin, digoxin and chloramphenicol. We compared these results with the bioavailability of these preparations and we found a good correspondence.

[The hypophysis and haemoblastoses].

In necropsies of 165 patients with malignant haemoblastoses, infiltrates in the pituitary were found in 38 cases (23%). The most frequent occurrence was found in lymphoblastic leucosis (33.3%) and in non-Hodgkin lymphomas (29%). Hypophyseal manifestations were found in 21% for myoblastic leucosis and in 5.5% in case of Hodgkin lymphomas. As regards the location, the capsula showed an affection of 55.2%, the anterior and posterior lobes together one of 21.1%, the neurohypophysis one of 15.8% and the anterior lobe one of 7.9%. There are different opinions with regard to the development: exclusively metastatic processes or local formation of the infiltrates. The latter opinion is favoured by the frequent detection of cells of exemplary haemopoiesis between the Dorsum sellae and the outer layer of the hypophyseal capsule (Stratum periostale) in patients without haemoblastosis as well as by the fact that in half of the patients the clinical picture of meningosis leucotica only developed in the stage of haematological full remission, that is, when there were no longer any blastomatous cells in the blood.
