On 6 September 1966, the prime minister of South Africa, Dr HF Verwoerd was killed by Mr Tsafendas, a Portuguese national of Greek descent, in parliament by stabbing him in the chest. Mr Tsafendas was a messenger in parliament. At the enquiry trial of Mr Tsafendas, he was found unfit to stand trial on the ground that he suffered from schizophrenia. The psychiatric evidence during the enquiry trial was reviewed and discussed under the following headings: Diagnosis of schizophrenia; Consideration of cultural factors in forensic psychiatric settings; Delusional infestation v. extreme overvalued beliefs; Simulation of psychosis; Ethical considerations in criminal capacity and trial competency assessments. Lessons from the Mr Tsafendas enquiry trial for forensic psychiatrists where a defendant previously diagnosed with schizophrenia commits a prominent political murder, are summarised. It is emphasised that the personhood of an accused referred for forensic observation should be respected and protected, instead of focusing exclusively on a specific diagnosis.
1966 年 9 月 6 日,南非总理 HF Verwoerd 博士在议会被希腊裔葡萄牙人 Tsafendas 先生刺中胸部身亡。查芬达斯先生是议会的一名信使。在对 Tsafendas 先生的询问审判中,他被认定不适合受审,理由是他患有精神分裂症。调查审讯期间的精神病学证据在以下标题下进行了审查和讨论:精神分裂症的诊断;法医精神病学环境中文化因素的考虑;妄想症与极端高估信仰;精神病的模拟;刑事能力和审判能力评估中的伦理考虑。总结了查芬达斯(Tsafendas)先生的调查审判给法医精神病学家带来的启示,在该案中,一名曾被诊断患有精神分裂症的被告犯下了一起重大政治谋杀案。强调应尊重和保护被转介进行法医观察的被告的人格,而不是只关注特定的诊断。

The draft Code of Conduct for Research is an important initiative towards assisting the scientific community in complying with the provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). However, its approach towards cross-border data sharing should be reconsidered to clarify the ambiguities inherent in the legal requirements for the cross-border sharing of health data in the POPIA. These ambiguities include the concept of ‘transfer of information’, the application of adequacy as a legal mechanism for transfer, the nature of consent for cross-border sharing and the scope of the recipient third party. We suggest that the draft Code of Conduct for Research can be improved by:Explaining or defining the concept of ‘transfer of information’ and when it applies to cross-border sharing in researchClarifying the application of adequacy as a legal mechanism for transfer vis-à-vis the other alternativesExpanding on the interpretation and application of consent as a legal mechanism for cross-border transfersExpanding the category of persons who may be recipients of personal information in a third country
研究行为守则草案是协助科学界遵守 2013 年第 4 号《个人信息保护法》(POPIA)规定的一项重要举措。然而,应重新考虑其对跨境数据共享的处理方法,以澄清《个人信息保护法》中关于跨境共享健康数据的法律要求中固有的模糊之处。这些不明确之处包括 "信息转移 "的概念、作为转移法律机制的适足性的应用、跨境共享同意的性质以及接收方第三方的范围。我们建议《研究行为准则》草案可以通过以下方式加以改进:解释或定义 "信息转让 "的概 念,以及该概念何时适用于研究中的跨境共享;明确适用适当性作为转让的法律机制与其他 替代机制的区别;扩展同意作为跨境转让的法律机制的解释和适用范围;扩展可能成为第三国 个人信息接收者的人员类别。

Organ donation after circulatory death – legal in South Africa and in alignment with Chapter 8 of the National Health Act and Regulations relating to organ and tissue donation 循环死亡后的器官捐献--在南非是合法的,并符合《国家卫生法》第 8 章以及与器官和组织捐献相关的条例

Organ donation after a circulatory determination of death is possible in selected patients where consent is given to support donation and the patient has been legally declared dead by two doctors. The National Health Act (61 of 2003) and regulations provide strict controls for the certification of death and the donation of organs and tissues after death. Although the National Health Act expressly recognises that brain death is death, it does not prescribe the medical standards of testing for the determination of brain death (neurological determination of death), circulatory death (circulatory determination of death) or for determination of death based on somatic criteria. However, in all cases of organ donation, including after circulatory death, the National Health Act mandates that two doctors certify the death, with one doctor possessing more than 5 years of experience. Additionally, both doctors must be independent from the transplant team. The standard for such determination, as for brain death, aligns with accepted medical standards. The Critical Care Society of Southern Africa has published South African (SA) Guidelines on Death Determination that outline rigorous standards for death determination in hospital settings by either a neurological or circulatory method. Legislation and the Health Professions Council of SA’s (HPCSA) professional guidance direct clinicians on obtaining informed consent for donation either from the patient or in cases of incapacity from their surrogate decision maker. Collectively, the legislation, regulations and professional guidelines in SA provide a robust ethical framework that supports organ donation after circulatory death.
在选定的病人中,如果同意支持捐献,并且病人已被两名医生依法宣布死亡,则可在循环系统确定死亡后捐献器官。国家卫生法》(2003 年第 61 号)和条例对死亡证明以及死后器官和组织捐献进行了严格控制。虽然《国家卫生法》明确承认脑死亡即死亡,但并未规定确定脑死亡(神经系统死亡确定)、循环系统死亡(循环系统死亡确定)或根据躯体标准确定死亡的医学检验标准。不过,在所有器官捐献案例中,包括循环死亡后,《国家卫生法》规定必须由两名医生对死亡进行证明,其中一名医生必须拥有 5 年以上的经验。此外,两名医生必须独立于移植小组。这种判定标准与脑死亡的判定标准一样,符合公认的医学标准。南部非洲重症监护学会发布了《南非死亡判定指南》,概述了在医院环境中通过神经或循环方法判定死亡的严格标准。法律和南非卫生专业委员会(HPCSA)的专业指南指导临床医生从患者处或在患者无行为能力的情况下从其代理决策者处获得捐赠的知情同意。总之,南澳大利亚的立法、法规和专业指南提供了一个强有力的伦理框架,支持循环死亡后的器官捐献。

The development of gene expression profiling and next-generation sequencing technologies have steered oncogenomics to the forefront of precision medicine. This created a need for harmonious cooperation between clinicians and researchers to increase access to precision oncology, despite multiple implementation challenges being encountered. The aim is to apply personalised treatment strategies early in cancer management, targeting tumour subtypes and actionable gene variants within the individual’s broader clinical risk profile and wellbeing. A knowledge-generating database linked to the South African Medical Research Council’s Genomic Centre has been created for the application of personalised medicine, using an integrated service and research approach. Insights gained from patient experiences related to tumour heterogeneity, access to targeted therapies and incidental findings of pathogenic germline variants in tumour DNA, provided practice-changing evidence for the implementation of a cost-minimisation pathology-supported genetic testing strategy. Integrating clinical care with genomic research through data sharing advances personalised medicine and maximises precision oncology benefits.
基因表达谱分析和新一代测序技术的发展将肿瘤基因组学推向了精准医疗的前沿。这就需要临床医生和研究人员之间和谐合作,以增加精准肿瘤学的可及性,尽管在实施过程中遇到了多重挑战。其目的是在癌症治疗的早期应用个性化治疗策略,针对个人更广泛的临床风险和健康状况中的肿瘤亚型和可操作的基因变异。已创建了一个与南非医学研究理事会基因组中心相连的知识生成数据库,用于采用综合服务和研究方法应用个性化医疗。从与肿瘤异质性、获得靶向治疗以及偶然发现肿瘤 DNA 中的致病基因变异有关的患者经验中获得的见解,为实施成本最小化的病理支持基因检测战略提供了改变实践的证据。通过数据共享将临床治疗与基因组研究结合起来,可以推进个性化医疗并最大限度地提高精准肿瘤学的效益。

International humanitarian laws: Applicable to all or a privilege for some? 国际人道主义法:适用于所有人还是某些人的特权?
IF 0.9 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-23 DOI: 10.7196/sajbl.2024.v17i1.2058
S. Mahomed
There is an intrinsic connection between genocide and colonialism where both concepts are in close proximity and are based on the logic of elimination. The fact that an active genocide of the Palestinian people continues in 2024 is extremely disturbing. A plethora of human rights laws and principles complement and reinforce the protections afforded under international humanitarian law. These laws were developed in order to prevent historical atrocities from repeating themselves. As history is re-written, it is submitted that these laws, while good on paper, are not being put into practice in the case of Palestine. This article reflects on the application of specific international humanitarian laws, namely protecting healthcare, preserving nutrition and safeguarding children during times of conflict, and analyses how these protections are being flouted in the case of Gaza.
种族灭绝和殖民主义之间有着内在的联系,这两个概念非常接近,都是基于消灭的逻辑。2024 年,对巴勒斯坦人民的种族灭绝仍在继续,这一事实令人极为不安。大量人权法和原则补充并加强了国际人道主义法提供的保护。制定这些法律是为了防止历史暴行重演。随着历史的重写,有人提出,这些法律虽然在纸面上是好的,但在巴勒斯坦问题上却没有付诸实践。本文反思了具体国际人道法的应用,即在冲突期间保护医疗保健、保持营养和保障儿童,并分析了这些保护措施在加沙是如何遭到蔑视的。

The noble cause of medicine – fact or fallacy? 医学的崇高事业--事实还是谬论?
IF 0.9 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-23 DOI: 10.7196/sajbl.2024.v17i1.1991

The aim of the article is threefold: to argue and motivate that unnecessary surgery is a worldwide phenomenon, that it exposes patients to unwarranted risks and that patients should actively participate in decision-making and take a shared responsibility to protect their interests. There is a firm belief that the enterprise of medicine is something of value – both intrinsically because being healthy is good and instrumentally since being healthy allows us to do what we wish to, to attain happiness and to live valuable lives. However, this can only hold if treatment is justified in terms of accepted evidence-based criteria. Imperative for all forms of treatment, including costly and invasive investigations, this is particularly true for surgical interventions because no surgery is without risk. Surgery performed outside of the norms of accepted indications constitutes a grave form of assault. Medicine is a noble cause if we stick to the rules and help each other to do so. As professionals, our most fundamental regulation is by ourselves.
文章的目的有三:论证并激励人们认识到不必要的手术是一种世界性现象,它使病人面临不必要的风险,病人应积极参与决策并共同承担保护自身利益的责任。人们坚信,医学事业是有价值的--从本质上讲,健康是好的,从手段上讲,健康使我们能够做自己想做的事,获得幸福,过上有价值的生活。然而,只有根据公认的循证标准来证明治疗的合理性,这一点才能成立。所有形式的治疗,包括昂贵的侵入性检查,都必须这样做,外科手术尤其如此,因为任何手术都是有风险的。在公认的适应症规范之外进行手术是一种严重的侵犯行为。如果我们遵守规则并相互帮助,医学就是一项崇高的事业。作为专业人员,我们最根本的规范是我们自己。

Futility, communicating bad news and burnout in doctors and other health practitioners 医生和其他医疗从业人员的无用功、传达坏消息和职业倦怠
IF 0.9 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-23 DOI: 10.7196/sajbl.2024.v17i1.1930

Futile medical interventions have virtually no chance of success. Doctors might perform such procedures because of pressure from families or patients. The doctor might also have an ulterior motive of gain or prefer to do it rather than take time to communicate with the patient about a poor prognosis. Established ways to communicate bad news to patients are not always used by managing physicians with time constraints. The SPIKES protocol method is outlined to assist in sensitive communication where further intervention is futile.This review primarily explores various aspects of medical futility. It also explores strategies for effectively communicating with patients and their families regarding futility interventions. A side-effect of futile interventions is burnout in doctors and other health practitioners (HPs). The complex relationship between futility and burnout is described.
无用的医疗干预几乎没有成功的可能。医生可能会迫于家属或病人的压力而实施此类手术。医生也可能别有用心地想从中获利,或者宁愿这样做,也不愿花时间与病人沟通预后不良的情况。由于时间有限,管理医生并不总是采用既定的方式向患者传达坏消息。本综述主要探讨了医疗无效的各个方面。这篇综述主要探讨了医疗无效的各个方面,还探讨了与患者及其家属就无效干预进行有效沟通的策略。无用干预的一个副作用是医生和其他医疗从业人员(HPs)的职业倦怠。本文阐述了无用论与职业倦怠之间的复杂关系。
