  • The authors experienced 52 patients with myasthenia gravis who were diagnosed at the Department of Neurology, Yeungnarn University Hospital from August 1985 to January 1996. The following results were obtained through diagnostic evaluation and treatment. 1. The ratio of male to female was 1:1.7 and the most prevalent age group was second decade. 2. The most common initial presentation symptom was ocular(71.2%) and the peak incidence group was stage I (69.3%) according to the modified Osserman's classification. 3. In 16 patients(30.8%), it took more than a year to diagnose due to symptoms which were relapsed and remitting. 4. Of 52 patients, 2 cases were associated with thyroid disease(3.8%) and 2 with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(3.8%). 5. All of those who received anticholinesterase and corticosteroid therapy were improved with the exception of 5 cases which were improved after thymectomy and/or plasmapheresis. 6. Spontaneous remission was occured in 2 cases(3.8%) of ocular myasthenia gravis. And 1 case of group II. was cured through thymectomy and long-term corticosteroid therapy.

  • Talus is a important structure of the ankle joint and its function is critical for ambulation and weight bearing. The talus fracture is rare, but the complications of fracture and dislocation are serious and resulting in avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis. So its treatment is carefully considered at initial status. Authors reviewed 11 cases of fracture and dislocation of the talus treated at Yeungnam university hospital from 1984 to 1991. The longest follow up was 8 years and shortest, 1 year. The results were as follows. 1. There were all males, the average age was 30 years old. 2. The most common cause was fall down(8 cases), and next traffic accident(2cases), sports injury(1 case). 3. According to Marti-Weber classification, 1 cases was type I, 1 in type II, 4 in type III and 5 in type IV. 4. The method of treatment were open reduction and internal fixation in 6 cases, the others were closed reduction in 5 cases. 5. Final results(by Hawkins grading system) were as follows, 3 cases were excellent, 4 cases were good, 1 case was fair and 3 cases were poor. 6. Complications were AVN in 2 cases, degenerative arthritis in 8 cases, malunion in 1 case. 7. The range of motion of the ankle joint was relatively preserved(74%), but in the subtalar joint it was decreased(43%).

  • Radiotherapeutically, nasopharyngeal cancer is an important disease in korea. Because of its blind anatomic location, early detection is relatively uncommon. Clinically, most of cases are locally advanced and nodal involvement are common. Recently better understanding of nature of the disease and improvement of radio-therapy technique permit better treatment results, including locoregional control and survival rate, and minimal normal tissue damages comparing with previously published data. We analyzed 31 patients of pathologically proven and previously untreated naso-pharyngeal carcinoma with different treatment techniques, retrospectively. Minimal and maximal follow up period of the survuor is 6 months and 68 months, respectively. Thirteen patients with squamous cell carcinoma are included in this analysis. The median age is 49 years(range from 20 to 64 years). Twenty two patients are stage III. Eleven patients are treated with radiotherapy alone and 20 are treated with comblined modalities treatment. The degree of responses after radiotherapy are categorized by 3-classes, i.e. complete response, partial response. In spite of simioarities of complete response rate and 1-year survival rate between two different treatment techniques, those patients with undifferentiated carcinoma appear to benefit from the adjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, systemic failure is more prominant in radiotherapy alone group than in combined modalities treatment group. These results suggest that adjuvant therapy in the radiotherapeutic management of nasopharyngeal cancers needs additional research according to histologic types and future extensive clinical trials.

  • Ventricular septal defect is most common congenital cardiac anomaly in Korea and worldwide. And its clinical spectrum is well known. The anatomic classification had been undertaken by several authors, but recently Dr. Soto and Anderson's classification is widely used instead of Dr. Kirklin's it. From April. 1984 to December 1986, 99 cases of ventricular septal defects had been taken surgical repair under direct vision using conventional cardiopulmonary bypass technique at Yeungnam university hospital. The clinical spectrum was similar to other hospital, and the postoperative mortality was 2%, The most common associated anomaly was patent foramen ovale, and the most common postoperative complication was incomplete or complete right bundle branch block. The rank of defects was as followings: 45 perimembranous inlet type, 21 doubly commited subarterial type, 17, perimembranous trabecular type, and 16 perimembranous outlet type. There was no muscular and mixed type.

  • The authors studied the mental health status of the 1989 freshmen of Yeungnam University using the psychotic scale of Derogatis SCL-90, Zung anxiety and depression scale and MMPI from January 1988 to February 1988. The subjects of this study were contained 3792 students(l206 female, 2586 male). 392 students(10.3%), out of all respondents were screened to fall on high score ranges. The authors performed a second test to 156(39.8% 47 female(30.1%), 109 male(69.9%)) of the high-scored in oder to clarify their mental health status and analyze various psychosocial factors; using MMPI. The MMPI results were categorized with Lachar's classification. The results were as follows. : 1. By the MMPI scores, 24 respondents(15.4%) had neurotic trends, 20(12.8%) had psychotic trends and 7(4.5%) had trends of behavior disorder. It was about 1.4% of all 3792 freshmen. 2. On the close examination of the MMPI, 8 respondents were diagnosed for affect disorder, 6 for anxiety disorder, 9 for schizophrenia and 3 for personality disorder. It was 0.7% of all freshmen. 3. On the analysis of the psychosocial factors, the schizophrenic scores were high in the case of unsatisfy infamily atmosphere, unsatisfy in marital intimacy of parents, serious in conflicts between father and I, and serious in conflicts between mother and I. 4. The hypochondriacal scores were high in the case of weak in physical condition, having hospitalization experience and physical illness.

  • In transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head, the necrotic superior anterior femoral head is rotated anteriorly around the longitudinal neck axis so that the weight bearing force is transferred to the intact posterior surface. The ratio of transposed intact articular surface of the femoral head to the weight-bearing surface of the acetabulum on postoperative anteroposterior view of the hip roentgenograph is the most important indicator of the prognosis. During the period from December 1992 to June 1994, we treated 31 hips in 28 patients who were indicated for the anterior rotational osteotomy among the patients of osteoncrosis of the femoral head. Among the patients, male were 27 and female was one. Age distribution was from 13 to 62 years old and mean age was 44.3. According to the Ficat and Arlet classification, II A was most in number as 16 II B was 7 and III was 8. As their etiolgic factors, alcohol was most in number as 18, steroid was 3, idiopathic was 5 and trauma was 2. The mean rate of the intact area of the posterior part of the femoral head to the total articular surface on the preoperative lateral view of the hip roentgenograph was 41.8%, The mean ratio of transposed intact articular surface of the femoral head to the weight bearing surface of the acetabulum was 53.8%, Fixation devices were screws or dynamic hip screw.

  • It is commonly assumed that nasorespiratory function can exert a dramatic effect upon the development of the dentofacial complex. Specially, it has been stated that chronic nasal obstruction leads to mouth breathing, which causes altered tongue and mandibular positions. If this occurs during a period of active growth, the outcome is development of the "adenoid facies". Such patients characteristically manifest a vertically long lower third facial height, narrow alar bases, lip incompetence, a long and narrow maxillary arch and a greater than normal mandibular plane angle. But several authors have reported that so-called adenoid facies is not always associated with adenoids and mouth breathing, and that a particular type of dentition is not always found in mouth breathers with or without adenoids. Some authors have believed adenoids lead to mouth breathing in cases with particular facial characteristics and types of dentition. We assumed that the ability to adapt to individual's neuromuscular complex is various. So, we compared the difference of influence of mouth breathing between childrens who have different facial types. This study included 60 patients and they were divided into three groups by Rickett's facial type. Their dentition and tongue position were compared. The results are as follows. 1. There is a significant difference in arch width of upper molars between different facial types. Especially dolichofacial type patients have narrowest arch width. 2. There is a significant difference in tongue position between different facial types. Especially dolichofacial type patients have lowest positioned tongue.

  • World population has increased rapidly following the industrial revolution, reaching 7 billion in 2012. Several forecasts estimate that this number will rise to about 8 billion in 2025. Improvements of living standards in developing nations have also raised resource and energy demands worldwide. In consequences, human beings have faced many global and urgent problems, such as global warming, water and food shortages, resource and energy crises, and so on. Many ocean utilization technologies for avoiding or reducing such big problems have been developed, for examples $CO_2$ ocean sequestration, seawater desalination, artificial upwelling, deepwater mining, and ocean energies. It is important, however, to assess such technologies from the viewpoints of sustainability and public acceptancy, since the aims of those technologies are to develop sustainable social systems rather than conventional ones based on fossil resources. Inclusive Marine Pressure Assessment and Classification Technology Research Committee (generally called IMPACT Research Committee) of Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers, has proposed Inclusive Impact Index "Triple I" as an indicator, which can predict both environmental sustainability and economical feasibility, in order to assess the ocean utilization technologies from the viewpoints of sustainability and public acceptancy. This index was considered by combining Ecological Footprint and Environmental Risk Assessment. The Ecological Footprint and the Environmental Risk Assessment are introduced in the first part of this paper. Then the concept and the structure of the Triple I are explained in the second part of this paper. Finally, the economy-ecology conversion factor in Triple I accounting is considered.

  • 본 연구는 병원에서의 산업보건관리 실태를 파악하기 위하여 전국에 있는 병원을 대상으로 1992년 12월 1일부터 1993년 1월 23일까지 설문조사를 설시하였다. 설문조사에 응당한 병원은 41개병원으로 회수율은 51.9%였다. 조사에 이용된 설문지는 산업안전보건법 내용을 기초로 하여 본 연구자가 작성한 것이며 안전보전에 관한 제반 규정, 안전보건관리체계, 근로자건강관리, 작업환경관리, 보건교육, 보건관련시설, 질병 및 상해에 대한 보상 등에 관한 45개문항으로 구성되어 있다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전체 병원 중 68.3%가 안전보건관리 규정이 있다고 답하였으며, 77.5%의 병원이 단체협약 중 근로자의 안전과 보건에 관한 조항을 포함시키고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 단체협약에 포함된 내용 중에는 정기건강진단(23.7%)과 질병 및 상해에 대한 보상(20.9%), 안전보건위원회의 구성(18.1%)등이 많았다. 둘째, 대상 병원중 66.7%가 안전보건관리책임자, 관리감독자, 안전담당자를 두고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 근로자수가 1,000명 이상인 병원은 83.3%가 이들 인력을 선임하고 있다. 그러나, 보건관리자와 안전관리자를 전담으로 두고 있는 경우는 한 곳도 없었으며 50%이내에서 겸직으로 선임하고 있었다. 또한, 안전보건위원회를 운영하고 있거나 노사협의회로 이를 대치하고 있는 병원은 54.2%로 절반 수준에 머물렀고, 그나마 정기적으로 운영을 하고 있다고 답한 병원은 3개 병원 밖에 되지 않았다. 세째, 근로자 건강관리를 위한 건강진단 실시 현황을 보면, 채용시검진 97.6%, 일반건강진단 100.0%, 특수 건강진단 24.4%가 실시하고 있었다. 건강진단에서 주로 실시하고 있는 항목은 흉부 X선검사, 시력, 혈압, 혈청GOT/GPT, 체중, 신장등이었다. 그러나, 병원에서 감염될 수 있는 기회가 높은 간염항원/항체검사의 실시율은 85.7%로 아직도 실시하지 않는 병원이 있음을 알 수 있다. 네째, 작업환경관리를 위하여 정기적으로 환경측정을 실시하는 병원은 21.6%였고 주로 측정하는 항목은 방사선이었다. 특히 소음, 조명, 분진에 대한 측정이 이루어지지 않음은 근로자뿐아니라 환자의 안위에도부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 다섯째, 안전한 작업과 근로자의 건강을 위하여 정기적인 보건교육을 설시하고 있는 병원은 불과 5.6%였다. 교육내용은 주로 안전에 관한 것이었다. 여섯째, 근로자의 일상적인 건강문제를 해결해주는 의무실을 독립적으로 마련하고 있는 병원은 한 곳도 없었고, 교대근무자나 당직자를 위한 수면시설은 44.7%, 작업 후에 사용할 수 있는 샤워시설은 35.1%의 병원이 마련하고 있었다. 일곱째, 근무중 다치거나 병에 걸렸을 때 치료비에 대한 부담은 대체로 병원이 하고 있으며 치료기간 중 근무는 병가나 휴직으로 처리되고 있다. 이는 병원이 산재보상보험법에 적용을 받지 않은 사업으로 분류되어 있는 현실에 기인된 것으로 보상과 관련된 부담을 병원이나 근로자 모두가 안게 되는 결과를 초래하게 되는 것이다. 이상에서 볼 때 병원근로자를 위한 산업보건관리는 주로 건강진단과 질병 및 상해에 대한 보상제도가 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 질병의 예방이나 악화방지 나아가 건강증진을 도모하기 위한 지속적인 노력을 기울이고 있는 병원은 전무한 상태임을 알 수 있다. 이러한 현실을 병원근로자를 위한 산업보건관리에 대한 인식이 전반적으로 부족함을 드러내는 것으로 이를 개선하기 위한 보다 적극적인 노력이 시급히 요청되고 있다.

  • Background: For effective and systematic management of patients in the emergency department(ED), the data on patient arrival and status in ED of Yeungnam University Hospital were evaluated. Materials and Methods: During the seven days from Apr. 1 to Apr. 7, 1998, the general patient information such as onset time and place, factors associated with transportation, causes of admission, cared department and patient disposition were recorded. Results: Total of 464 patients visited the ED during the seven days, and the mean number of patients per day was 66.3. Male to female ratio was 1:0.71. Daily staying patients were 17.3, and 83.6 patients were cared totally each day. The methods of transportation and distribution of patients according to region and event were as follows: visit by walk(57.3%). transportation by car(58.0%), place of event in residence(85.3%), regional distribution in Taegu(81.5%), and direct visit(97.4%). Cause of admission due to diseases was 74.6%. The percentages of departments which cared the patients were internal medicine 26.6%, pediatrics 16.8%, orthopedics 8.6%, neurology 8.2%, neurosurgery 7.8% and other department including emergency medicine 8.2%, respectively. Patient dispositions were admission 38.4%, discharge 61.0% and death on arrival(DOA) 0.6%, but referred patient-to-another-hospital was zero. Conclusion: Improvements in several aspects of ED's caring system such as "fast tracking" system and reinforcement of disease and trauma caring system, would be helpful for effective management of emergency patients.
