Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics, validity, and reliability of non-radiological assessment tools of scoliosis that have been studied so far. Methods: Electronic databases including Pubmed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Science On, RISS, OASIS were searched by keywords including 'scoliosis assessment', 'scoliosis screening', 'physical examination', 'functional measurement', 'photography', and 'smartphone'. Results: 32 articles using radiation-free assessments were identified from 1,011 records. The mostly used non-radiological methods were Surface topography, Scoliometer, Ultrasound, Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging, and Photography. The other methods were Gait analysis, 3D depth sensor imaging, and Low intensity electromagnetic scan. Conclusions: It was found that non-radiological assessment tools might reduce the number of radiographs taken in scoliosis patients. To increase the reliability and validity, further research on the measurement tools of scoliosis will be needed.

Objectives: This research aimed to develop a guideline for evaluating safety and performance of electronic warm-acupuncture apparatus. With the development of medical devices like electronic warm-acupuncture apparatus with improved performance, convenience and safety measures compared to traditional warm-acupuncture needling, safety and performance guideline is a necessity. Methods: By referring to existing standards and guidelines of other electronic devices for Korean medicine with heating function, guideline for safety and performance assessment of electronic warm-acupuncture apparatus was drafted Results: The guideline, presents explanation for adequate temperature and settings of the apparatus, and safety measurements providing against thermal runaway situations along with guidelines for the manual. Guideline for detailed test method for the performance of the apparatus such as accuracy of temperature increase and the timer, and safety unit was also provided. The test items and suggested test methods for the requirements of biological, electrical and electromagnetic safety were referred to Korean approval documents of ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Conclusion: We proposed the relevant items to verify performance and safety of warm-acupuncture apparatus to assure patient safety and improve the quality of currently developing devices for application in clinical field.

Ataxia and vertigo are frequent clinical findings in cerebellar infarction patients. In severe cases, they cannot achieve normal activity in daily life. A 65-year-old man was admitted with ataxia and vertigo diagnosed as acute cerebellar infarction. We prescribed for Chukdam-tang to treat the phlegm disease. After this treatment, ataxia and vertigo improved. We suggest Chukdam-tang is significantly effective on the treatment of cerebellar infarction.

본 논문에서는 로봇이 정해진 폐구간을 이동하기 위해서 위에서 아래로 촬영한 카메라 정보를 활용한다. 로봇을 특정위치로 이동시키기 위해서는 카메라를 제어하는 서버 시스템과 로봇의 위치를 인식하기 위한 마크가 필요하다. 서버는 로봇의 위치를 로봇으로 인식하는 마크의 색 값으로 카메라로부터 인지하고 로봇에 위치 이동 명령을 수행할 서버와 로봇이 네트워크를 통해 Planning을 수행한다. 본 연구에서 휴머노이드 로봇인 나오와 로봇에 위치를 촬영할 카메라 그리고 이미지 처리를 하기 위해 OpenCV와 이동 알고리즘으로 $A^*$를 활용하여 Planning을 구현한다.

Objective: The aim of this case report was to describe the effects of traditional Korean medicine on a patient suffering from central dizziness caused by a lateral medullary infarction Methods: The patient was given a series of Korean medicine therapy treatments, including Jeseubsungi-tang, acupuncture, and cupping, for 37 days. We measured the progress of this case using a numerical rating scale (NRS). Results: After the treatment, the NRS score for dizziness decreased, and the headache almost completely subsided. Conclusions: This clinical case study indicated that Jeseubsungi-tang could be effective in relieving central dizziness and headache caused by lateral medullary infarction.

This study presents a modularized process of a hybrid renewable energy system that combines photovoltaic power and wind power to supply stable power in a unit area (1 km²). The water electrolysis process and fuel cells process also contributes to the supply of the stable power. The entire system can constantly supply power of 4.39 MW/km². Actual meteorological data is used for simulation.

Objective: This study reports on the improvement of a patient with thrombocytopenia using Korean medicine. Methods: A 29-year-old woman was treated with acupuncture, moxibustion, and Korean herbal medicine. Platelet counts were checked periodically to identify improvements in thrombocytopenia. Results: The platelet count showed a marked improvement during treatment, with no side effects for the patient. Conclusion: This study suggests that Korean medicine could be used for the management of thrombocytopenia.

Multiple primary cancer is defined as two or more malignant neoplasms in a single individual. The incidence of multiple primary cancer is likely to increase due to earlier and accurate diagnosis and prolonged life span. Above all, the incidence of quintuple primary malignant tumors is reportedly extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of 65-year-old who had quintuple primary cancers of the liver, rectum, nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx.

Variant angina causes chest pain due to abnormal coronary vasospasms. A 60-year-old male who was diagnosed with variant angina was admitted to the Oriental Medicine Hospital and treated with herbal medicines, including Pyungjinsujeom-san and Simjeok-hwan. After treatment, the frequency of chest pain and use of nitroglycerin decreased. Subjective symptoms of chest pain measured using a numerical rating scale (NRS) also decreased. These improvements persisted throughout the hospitalization period. In conclusion, Korean medicines, including Pyungjinsujeom-san and Simjeok-hwan, can be effective for patients with chest pain due to variant angina.
