In South Africa the modern outlook towards time may be said to have started in 1948. Both the two major observatories, The Royal Observatory in Cape Town and the Union Observatory (now known as the Republic Observatory) in Johannesburg had, of course, been involved in the astronomical determination of time almost from their inception, and the Johannesburg Observatory has been responsible for the official time of South Africa since 1908. However the pendulum clocks then in use could not be relied on to provide an accuracy better than about 1/10 second, which was of the same order as that of the astronomical observations. It is doubtful if much use was made of even this limited accuracy outside the two observatories, and although there may – occasionally have been a demand for more accurate time, it was certainly not voiced.

Objective: There has always been some issues in the accurate diagnosis of pneumonia, a common cause of emergency department (ED) visits and revisits, which is typically made based on the patient’s clinical syndrome. This is made more difficult due to the traditional chest radiography having limited accuracy. This prospective multicenter study was conducted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of a point-of-care lung sonography performed by emergency physicians for the diagnosis of pneumonia in an acute care setting. This was compared with chest computed tomography (CT), the diagnostic gold standard. Methods: ED patients who presented with signs and symptoms of pneumonia were eligible to enroll in the study. After enrollment, point-of-care lung sonography was performed on patients by emergency physicians who had passed a focused teaching course on lung sonographic findings of pneumonia. All enrolled patients were followed up. Patients who underwent a chest CT during their hospital admission course were finally included and analyzed. Results: Emergency physicians who performed a point-of-care lung sonography had a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 75%, positive predictive value of 88.88%, negative predictive value of 100%, and an overall accuracy of 90% in the diagnosis of pneumonia. Conclusion: These emergency physicians could accurately diagnose pneumonia, with a point-of-care lung sonography, after completing a focused sonography course.
