게놈 프로젝트에 의해 인간 유전자 영기서열이 밝혀지면서 개개인의 유전자에 나타나는 SNP(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)을 분석하여 질병의 진단과 예후, 치료와 예방이 미래에 가능하게 되었다. 본 논문은 그러한 SNP 분석을 위한 자동 분석 시스템의 영상 처리 과정으로서, 기존의 육안을 통해 분석하였던 TDGS 영상을 본 시스템의 자동적인 영상 처리 과정을 통해 SNP 분석을 위한 디지털 패턴을 추출한다. SNP 분석을 위해 사용되는 샘플은 대략 수백개가 되는데, 실험이라는 특성상 영상에 나타나는 불규칙한 요소들이 많고. 영상의 상태가 좋지 않은 경우 명암도가 낮은 반점들의 구분이 힘들게 된다. 본 논문에서는 TDGS 영상의 지역적 특성을 가장 잘 반영하기 위한 동적 이진화의 새로운 척도를 제안하였고, 영상에서 잡영과 배경을 제거한 후 남겨진 관심영역을 반점으로 판별하여 이를 디지털 패턴으로 추출한 결과를 보여 준다.

As livestock diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease are highly infectious and likely to inflict nationwide damage, it is important to detect such diseases in advance. Infection of foot-and-mouth disease is determined in the field through examination of external symptoms such as rise in body temperature. However, as the disease is carried around initially by travelling veterinarians in some cases, it is critical to measure the body temperature of livestock to detect abnormal temperature pattern early on and transmit temperature reading data remotely to a veterinarian remotely to expedite decision. In this study, we have developed a telemedicine system designed to connect veterinarians and livestock farmers and measure the body temperature of Korean beef cattle with IR sensor module linked to ubiquitous ICT platform as a solution for controlling health conditions of Korean beef cattle and improving the efficiency of livestock farming operations at individual farm, regional, and national level by converging ubiquitous ICT platform and livestock farming practices. Successfully employing the state-of-the-art IT technologies of Korea, the system proposed herein is expected to make Korea's livestock farming industry more sustainable and help the nation to secure technological preeminence in the global livestock products market.

This study is a review of research articles on the characteristics of probiotics. Probiotics are effective at ameliorating immune disease, alleviating glucose intolerance, and improving constipation and diarrhea. Furthermore, they have anticancer and antitumor effects, preventive effects against cardiovascular disease, antidiabetic effects, antioxidant effects, antibacterial effects, and they produce useful metabolites. It has been demonstrated that oral probiotics are effective in eliminating halitosis and forming a favorable oral ecosystem, by creating an environment that is not readily inhabited by harmful bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans, which produces lactic acid and causes tooth decay, or Porphyromonas gingivalis, which causes gum disease.As a result, oral probiotics are being considered not only as therapeutics against diseases, but also as preventive agents for the maintenance of a healthy oral balance. In spite of some limitations, clinical trials are currently underway, and this study can provide evidence to support the use of probiotics to improve oral health conditions, including dental caries, periodontal disease, and Candida colonization.

This study was to understand the relationship between emergency room visit due to illness and personal health behaviors as well as population and illness characteristics of elderly patients with diabetes. This study was a descriptive correlation study that analyzed 956 respondents aged 65 or older and diagnosed with diabetes in the Korean Health Panel's data from 2014 to 2017. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 program with Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis. The respondents who visited emergency room had fewer days of moderate-intensity physical activity and walking activity, were older, had activity restrictions due to disability, had depression, and had a large number of comorbid chronic diseases. In order to prevent elderly people with diabetes from visiting emergency room, it is important to encourage moderate-intensity activity and walking.

Aortic valve stenosis is disease caused by the calcification of the aortic valve, which is located between the left ventricle of the heart and the aorta, preventing the backflow of blood. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) has become the standard non-surgical procedure for treating aortic stenosis. However, patients who undergo TAVR are still face the risk of complication, which calls for a systematic solution for complication prediction and management. In this study, we designed a platform that manages patient complication risks using various prediction models, and we utilized explainable AI to ensure reliable prediction models and solutions. For the implementation of this platform, digital twin technology was employed, allowing for complication prediction and monitoring based on a patient's digital twin model constructed from Real-World Data (RWD). The digital twin platform has been developed with a microservice architecture using Kubernetes, enhancing the flexibility and availability of the platform. Additionally, we propose a feedback system for continuous improvement of prediction model performance and TAVR procedures to ensure ongoing development.

The healthcare industry is a digital healthcare that combines technology based on the 4th Industrial Revolution, dealing with information on individual health and medical care, and is a fusion of health care services and medical science and technology. It is questionable whether digital healthcare according to the paradigm change can be discussed by the concept of medical practice under the existing Medical Act. There is no clear definition of the concept of medical practice in the Medical Service Act, but the concept is established through precedents. In addition, under the Medical Service Act, the subject of medical practice is limited to medical personnel. However, digital healthcare sometimes diagnoses and treats diseases using digital technology by medical personnel. On the other hand, what is possible by non-medical personnel is digital healthcare. This is because digital healthcare is understood as a concept that includes health care such as exercise, eating habits, and weight control. For this reason, if the concept of medical practice under the "Medical Act" on digital healthcare is included, it is subject to criminal punishment for "unlicensed medical practice" prescribed in Article 27 of the "Medical Act". In the health and medical industry, digital transformation and convergence with information and communication technology are rapidly progressing. As a result, there is a need to newly define it as 'digitalized medical practice' or 'information and communication technology (ICT)-based medical practice' separately from existing medical practices. The concept of medical practice has variability, not a fixed and invariable concept. However, in response to this demand, it is not an infinite expansion of the concept of medical practice, but a request to reset its scope. Therefore, the concept of medical practice should be legislated by reflecting the demand of consumers for the medical service system.

The medical environment, combined with IT technology, is changing the paradigm for medical services from treatment to prevention. In particular, as ICT convergence digital healthcare technology is applied to hospital medical systems, infrastructure technologies such as big data, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence are being used in conjunction with the cloud. In particular, as medical services are used with IT devices, the quality of medical services is increasingly improving to make them easier for users to access. Medical institutions seeking to incorporate IoT services into cloud health care environment services are trying to reduce hospital operating costs and improve service quality, but have not yet been fully supported. In this paper, a patient information collection model from hospital IoT system, which has established a cloud environment, is proposed. The proposed model prevents third parties from illegally eavesdropping and interfering with patients' biometric information through IoT devices attached to the patient's body at hospitals in cloud environments that have established hospital IoT systems. The proposed model allows clinicians to analyze patients' disease information so that they can collect and treat diseases associated with their eating habits through IoT devices. The analyzed disease information minimizes hospital work to facilitate the handling of prescriptions and care according to the patient's degree of illness.
