교감 신경계의 활성정도를 판별할 수 있는 지표로 피부저항(Galvanic skin resistance: GSR)이 있다. 교감신경이 흥분하면 땀이 분비되어 손가락의 피부저항이 감소하게 된다[1]. 전자기장에 민감한 사람(electromagnetic hypersensitivity: EHS)에게 전자기장을 노출시키면 전자기장을 잘 느끼지 못하는 일반인에 비해 교감신경이 많이 흥분하여 땀을 더 많이 분비할 것이라 생각하여 손가락 피부저항의 변화를 측정하여 전자기장에 민감한 사람과 일반인의 교감신경 활성정도의 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 그러나 전자기장에 민감한지 민감하지 않은지를 판별하기 위한 인지 및 증상에 관한 설문에 의해서도 피부저항의 변화가 생길 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 전자파에 민감한 사람과 일반인간의 언어자극에 의한 피부저항의 변화를 알아보고 전자기장 노출 실험에서 인지 설문이 전자기장 노출여부에 의한 피부저항의 변화에 영향을 주는지 주지 않는지를 알아보고자 한다. 피부저항 측정 결과 EHS와 일반인군 모두에게서 언어자극(인지 및 자각증상에 관한 설문)에 의해 피부저항이 감소되는 경향을 보였다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to draw attention toward so called 'behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia(bvFTD) phenocopy syndrome', which is difficult to discriminate with the primary psychiatric disorders, showing poor response to conventional therapeutic drugs, leading to higher risk to misdiagnoses and legal problems. Furthermore, the author insisted that our interest and study on them must be continued. Methods : English articles published during 2000 thru 2016 had been searched by internet with the combination of words such as 'frontotemporal', 'phenocopy' and 'behavioral', and reviewed. Besides, two clinical vignettes were described. Results : Precise diagnosis is important because patients' behavioral symptoms can influence on their families and community. However, disease-modifying treatment for bvFTD are not developed until now, and recent therapeutic drugs are only good for specific symptoms, while deterioration progresses in spite of proper psychiatric management. The possible bvFTD patients are not progressed into probable bvFTD clinically, showing no decline of cogntive and social function, no decrease of activity function, longer survival time, and normal neuroimaging for several years. Conclusions : Rather than expected, there are much more patients having clinical symptoms, course and diagnostic findings including neuroimaging, which are atypical to classical frontotemporal dementia and primary psychiatric disorders. If our knowledge and discriminating ability is improved, discovery rate of that cases will be increased. However, the identity of these atypical features are not clarified until now, it must be further actively investigated.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the somatic symptoms, trait anger, and anger expression styles perceived by cancer patients, examine their relationships, and identify variables influencing somatic symptoms. The mean of patients' somatic symptoms was 8.59 ± 5.34, trait anger was 1.78±0.53, and anger suppression was 2.02±0.36, which is the highest. In terms of differences in somatic symptoms according to the general characteristics of the subjects, stage 3 cancer stage was the highest compared to other stages(F=2.745, p=.045), and the presence of cancer-related pain was significantly higher compared to its absence(t=5.046, p<.001). Differences in trait anger according to the general characteristics of the patients were found to be significant based on monthly income(F=3.952, p=.004). Differences in anger expression styles were found by age(F=4.186, p=.017), monthly income(F=3.302, p=.012), and experience of cancer-related pain(t=2.715, p=.007) in anger suppression, while differences were observed by age(F=3.637, p=.028), employment status(t=2.563, p=.011), monthly income(F=3.580, p=.008), and duration of treatment(F=3.726, p=.026) in anger regulation. The somatic symptoms perceived by the patients had positive correlations with trait anger(r=.209, p=.006), anger suppression(r=.206, p=.006), anger expression(r=.199, p=.008), and anger regulation(r=.194, p=.009). It was found that a greater presence of cancer-related pain was related with a higher level of somatic symptoms of patients among other variables.

1999년 여름철 우리 나라의 몇몇 해수 어류 양식장과 종묘 배양장에서 Vibrio harveyi가 원인균으로 생각되는 질병이 발생하였다. 어종별 특징적인 증상으로는 넙치의 탈장, 복부팽만, 장충혈, 장액 삼출 및 간출혈과 조피볼락의 체표 궤양 및 간울혈을 들 수 있었으며 같은 시기에 감염증을 나타낸 turbot에서는 체표 출혈과 장출혈이 특징적인 증상이었다. 이 중에서도 특히 넙치의 병징은 에드와드병으로 추정되기 쉬운 특징이 있기 때문인지 각 양어장에서는 간단히 에드와드병으로 진단하고 그에 대한 치료가 실시되고 있었으나 치료 효과가 비교적 낮아서 피해가 증가되고 있는 실정이었다.

사회가 발전하면서, 사람들이 겪어야 하는 질병도 실로 다양화 되고 많이 변화되어가고 있다. 그래서인지, 많은 사람들이 흔하게 가지는 소화불량이나 속쓰림 같은 것은 병이 아니라, 어쩌다 생겼다가 지나가는 증상으로 밖에서 평가(?)받지 못한다. 그러나 그렇게 사소한 소화불량이 나중에 알고 보니 심각한 위장병의 시초였다는 것을 주위 사람의 경험을 통해 잘 알고 있다. 평소 소화불량으로 고생하다가 건강관리협회에서 위 투시검사를 받고 위염을 조기 발견해 치료에 성공한 유지현씨(23세, 서울시 구로구 시흥1동)의 경우를 보면서, 사소한 증상의 점검으로부터 질병을 조기 발견하는 것이 얼마나 중요한 지를 느낄 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a computer-based cognitive bias modification program (CBM-I) and to test the efficacy of CBM-I for college students with social anxiety. Forty socially anxious individuals were randomly assigned to the CBM-I(n=21) or a waiting list condition(n=19). Both groups were assessed at the beginning and the end of the program with interpretation bias and social anxiety symptoms(e.g. B=FNE=Brief-Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, LSAS=Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale). The CBM-I modified interpretation by providing positive feedback when participants made benign interpretations and negative feedback in response to threat interpretations. Participants in CBM-I completed three computer sessions over three weeks. The CBM-I successfully decreased social anxiety symptoms compared to the control condition(t=2.35, p<.05; t=4.70, p<.001). This result suggests that interpretation modification may have clinical utility when applied as a multi-session intervention.

This research as a literature study is to clarify solution method of hypochondriasis through focused distraction. Hypochondriasis is called by various terms such as somatization symptoms, health anxiety, illness phobia, illness anxiety disorder, hypochondriacal disorder, hypochondriacal neurosis, and hypochondria personality disorder. Hypochondria is basically a factor that causes worry, fear, anxiety, and even phobia, lowering the quality of life at home, work, and society. As the quality of life of individuals is decreasing, the field of counseling psychology and psychological counseling has the task of solving this problem and restoring psychological peace. Accordingly, this study is an attempt to explore the symptoms of hypochondria by using the distraction strategy among cognitive strategies as a way to resolve the condition. Focused distraction strategy can be said to be a kind of cognitive 'avoidance strategy'. Focused distraction strategy is a way to avoid being overly focused on one's health. In addition, it weakens health concerns by 'dispersing' or 'distracting' the 'attention' focused on health in another direction.

Patients with schizophrenia have thinking disorders such as delusion or hallucination, because they have a deficit in the ability which to systematize and integrate information. therefore, they cannot integrate or systematize visual, auditory and tactile stimuli. In this study, we suggest a virtual reality system for the assessment of cognitive ability of schizophrenia patients, based on the brain multimodal integration model. The virtual reality system provides multimodal stimuli, such as visual and auditory stimuli, to the patient, and can evaluate the patient's multimodal integration and working memory integration abilities by making the patient interpret and react to multimodal stimuli, which must be remembered for a given period of time. the clinical study showed that the virtual reality program developed is comparable to those of the WCST and the SPM.

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the effects of a health education program for the aged on knowledge about the warning signs and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and stroke. Methods: Data from 337 elderly people (159 participated and 178 non-participated) at senior centers in Jeju-si were collected by 1 to 1 interview from January to March 2012, one year after the education program provided. Two stages of study were performed: Cross-sectional, case-control study on the level of knowledge about the warning signs and symptoms; and multivariate logistic regression to fine out predictors of optimal awareness. Results: No significant discrepancy of knowledge level between case and control group was found. The knowledge level as high as a surge was shown in both groups one year later. A surge of knowledge had been shown after the education provided in one month. The factors affecting the optimal level of knowledge were education (Odds ratio 3.01; Confidence Interval 1.72-5.26; P-value <0.001) and 7 days of watching TV news per week (2.97; 1.68-5.23; P<0.001). However, participation in the health education was not significant (1.60; 0.98-2.61; P=0.059). Conclusions: The effects of a targeted program in high-risk groups for cardio-cerebrovascular disease are only guaranteed in the enhancement by a population-based mass-media education campaign.

우리나라의 병원 전 응급의료체계는 비교적 짧은 기간 동안에 소방서를 축으로 운영되고 있다. 병원 전 단계에서 응급처치의 적절성을 높이기 위해서는 119구급대에 의한 응급처치에 대하여 체계적으로 조사를 시행함으로써 기초 응급의료에 대한 지속적인 질 관리를 해 나가는 것이 매우 중요하다. 특히 뇌경색은 급성기 치료를 위하여 혈전용해제 치료가 중요하며 증상 발현 후 치료가 시작되기까지의 소요시간이 매우 중요하므로 뇌경색 환자의 발생과 동시에 응급의료체계의 반응시간과 뇌경색을 인지하기 위한 환자평가 및 인지 후 응급처치 정도를 소방 119구급서비스를 통하여 살펴보고자 한다.
