Patient care before and after termination of pregnancy for neural tube defects

A retrospective study was designed to examine the perception of care in women who had experienced a second-trimester termination of pregnancy (TOP) for a neural tube defect. Women were identified over a 3-year period, 1983–1985. After appropriate consent, 166 women were visited at home between 4 weeks and 7 months post-TOP and interviewed by one experienced interviewer using a structured questionnaire with open and closed questions. The majority (137, 82 per cent) felt satisfied with the care received during screening, prenatal diagnosis, and during the TOP (126, 76 per cent). Patients were less satisfied (63, 38 per cent) with post-TOP care in hospital. On leaving hospital, the post-termination sequelae were mentioned to only 25 (15 per cent) patients, which left 135 (81 per cent) confused and bewildered by the post-partum reactions of their bodies, and by their strong emotions. After-care was perceived as unsatisfactory by 113 (68 per cent). One-quarter (42, 25 per cent) did not have, and were not invited for, a post-termination appointment and thus did not have an opportunity to ask questions or to discuss the fetus. Eighty-six (51-8 per cent) had no visit from any member of the primary health-care team, yet most would have appreciated such a visit. Suggestions for improved management are presented.

An evaluation of the vegetation developed after artificially stabilizing South African coastal dunes with indigenous species

A total of 17 sites along the eastern Cape coastline, which had been established with indigenous species, were sampled to assess species composition and abundance. The areas sampled ranged from small blowout dunes of 1 ha, to extensive transverse dune fields of 134 ha; age at the time of sampling ranged from 2 to 20 yr. The total mean percentage cover and density, alpha diversity and importance values of all the species were calculated and used to describe each site. A TWINSPAN analysis grouped sites of similar localities, mainly on the basis of their species composition. A DECORANA plot revealed that axis 1 corresponded to the position of sites along the coastline rather than other factors, such as age. The variability in species composition was related more to the types of species used for stabilization, rather than the natural distribution of the indigenous dune vegetation. The species ordination showed a similar gradient, and it was possible from this analysis to determine which species were more commonly used and better suited for dune stabilization. It is concluded that successful stabilization can be achieved using indigenous species.

ADOPTION OF WATER-SAVING PRACTICES BY IRRIGATORS IN THE HIGH PLAINS1

ABSTRACT: The High Plains has been viewed as an immense garden because of its highly productive agricultural system based on irrigation. But there is concern that the aquifers are being depleted and that the region may be returning to its natural state of a vast shortgrass prairie. Efforts to avoid this scenario and to ensure continued survival of the integrated agribusiness economy focus on conserving water in irrigation. This paper examines the adoption of 39 water-saving practices for ten counties in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. The frequency of adoption was estimated from a survey of 709 irrigators, and the variance was found primarily to be a function of location and secondarily to be influenced by number of wells, type of irrigation system, depth to water, age, and education. Locational differences remained strong even when the influence of secondary factors were controlled.
