휘발성 유기화학물질 (VOCs)이 인체의 건강에 미치는 영향은 아직까지도 명확하게 밝혀지진 않았지만 대부분의 물질이 재실자에게 자극과 불쾌감을 유발하며, 여러 종류의 발암성 물질을 포함하고 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다 휘발성 유기화학물질 중에서 80% 정도가 인체의 호흡기관을 자극하고 눈의 통증이나 자극을 유발하며, 이중에서 25% 정도는 발암성 물질로 파악되고 있다. (중략)

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the 12-week Nordic walking can improve the physical function and arthritis pain of elderly women with osteoarthritis This study were divided into randomly assigned Nordic Walking Exercise Group (n=9) and Control Group (n=7) for 16 Elderly women diagnosed with Osteoarthritis (age: 73±3.79 year, height: 154.3±4.09 cm). The exercise group used Nordic sticks to carry out 30 minutes of Nordic walking exercise three times a week for 12 weeks, and the kinetic intensity was set at 40-60% of HRR. The control group maintained daily life for the same period. Body composition (weight, percentage body fat, skeletal muscle mass), muscular strength, Flexibility (muscular strength of upper and lower limbs, flexibility of upper and lower limbs), balance ability (static balance, dynamic balance) and pain level were measured as subordinate variables. These indicators were measured twice before and after the exercise program. The study shows that percentage body fat and skeletal muscle mass in the body composition function over 12 weeks of Nordic walking exercise have significant effects after the exercise than before (p=004)(p=.003), and it also shows significant interaction effects between the groups and timings(p=.018)(p=.005). In muscular strength, Flexibility factors, there were significant effects between the groups and timings in the upper limb muscular strength and the lower limb flexibility (p=.009)(p=.036), and a significant difference between the exercise group and the control group(p=.006) in the lower limb muscular strength. In addition, in the upper limb flexibility, there was a more significant difference after the exercise than before(p=.020). There were improvement effects after the exercise than before in the balance ability and the static balance(p=.016), but no difference in the dynamic balance(p>.05). In pain, there was a significant improvement after the exercise than before(p=.022), and a significant difference between the exercise group and the control group(p=.013). In conclusion, the 12-week Nordic walking exercise has positive effects on the body composition functions of the elderly women with Osteoarthritis, and has a positive effect on the improvement of upper limb muscular strength and lower limb flexibility in the health fitness factors. These effects are believed to have contributed effectively to the improvement of the level of pain by contributing to the improvement of physical and motor functions of the elderly women with Osteoarthritis. Therefore, it is considered that Nordic walking exercise, which enhances stability and balance of the patients with Osteoarthritis by using poles, is an effective exercise method for the improvement of the body and motor functions by lowering the pain of the joints and reducing the muscular strength and percentage body fat.

Purpose: This study was to test the effects of wholistic hospice nursing intervention program on pain and anxiety for in-patient of hospice palliative care unit. This study's design was one-group pre-post test quasi- experimental research. Methods: The subjects of study were 27 patients who were over 18 years old and admitted in hospice palliative care unit of S hospital in P city with agreement in hospice palliative care in their terminal disease. The experimental group subjects participated in holistic hospice nursing program took 120 minutes per session, a total of 1,200 minutes altogether for 10 sessions. The period of data collection was from April 6, 2004 to April 20, 2005. The collected data were analyzed by Paired t-test with SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. A Wholistic Hospice Nursing Intervention Program (named ‘Rainbow Program’) was used as a experimental tool in this study. This was developed by the authors. It was provided by interdisciplinary hospice team (nurses, medical doctors, social worker, pastors, art therapists, and volunteers). In addition, Korean Version of Brief Pain Inventory (BPI-K) by Young-Ho Yun(1998) was used to test degree of pain in physical aspect. And State-Anxiety Inventory was developed by Spielberger(1975) and translated by Kim, Jung-Tack & Shin, Dong-Gyun(1978) was used to test the degree of state-anxiety in emotional aspect. Results: (1) Hypothesis No. 1 "The experimental group which received Wholistic Hospice Nursing Program will have a lower degree of pain than before" was supported (t=-10.585, P= .000). (2) Hypothesis No. 2 "The experimental group which received Wholistic Hospice Nursing Program will have a lower degree of state-anxiety than before" was supported (t=-8.234, P= .000). Conclusion: Our results testified that this Wholistic Hospice Nursing Intervention Program was effective to decrease pain and state-anxiety of the in-patients of hospice palliative care unit. Therefore it can be used and applied actively in practice as a useful model of interdisciplinary team approach by hospice professionals in hospice palliative care unit.

The aim of the study was to evaluate psychosocial impact of non-dental chronic orofacial pain (OFP) on daily living using the graded chronic pain (GCP) scale. It is also investigated the clinical profile such as demographics, event related to initiation of OFP and prior treatments for patients. During previous 6 months since September 2008, 572 patients (M:F=1:1.5, mean age=34.7 years) with non-dental OFP attended university-based specialist orofacial pain clinic (Dankook University Dental Hospital, Cheonan) to seek care although 63% of them already experienced related treatment for their OFP problem. They visited the most frequently general dental practitioner and orthopedic doctors due to their pain problem and medication was the most commonly employed modality. Most of the patients (89.2%) had TMD and the most common related event to initiation of their pain was trauma, followed by dental treatment. Almost half of the patients (46%) suffered from chronic pain(${\geq}6\;M$) and 40% of them exhibited relatively high disability due to chronic OFP. GCP pain intensity and disability days were significantly different for age and diagnosis (p<0.05) but not for gender and duration. GCP grades were affected by all the factors including gender, age, pain duration and diagnosis.(p=0.000) Female gender, elders, and long lasting pain were closely related to high disability. The patients with neuropathic Pain and mixed OFP rather than TMD were graded as being highly disabled. Conclusively, a considerable percentage of chronic OFP patients reports high pain-related disability in their daily, social and work activity, which suggest a need for psychosocial support and importance of earlier referral for appropriate diagnosis and tailored management.

부모님의 건강을 살피고 간단한 해결책을 제시하는 일은 꼭 의사가 아니어도 가능하다. 통증이나 이상이 나타난 부위, 양상을 제대로 관찰하면 어떤 질병이며, 어떤 의료처치를 받아야 할지 어느 정도 파악 할 수 있다. 고령에 흔히 나타나는 대표적 질병 종류와 그 구분법에 대해 알아보자.

질염은 많은 여성들이 한 번쯤은 이로 인해 고생한 적이 있을 만큼 아주 흔한 염증이다. 대개 미혼여성보다는 성생활을 하는 기혼 여성에게서 주로 나타나며 증상은 우선 냉이 많아지는데 냄새가 나거나 심하게 가려움증까지 나타난다. 원래 정상적인 질분비물은 흰색이거나 연한 노란빛으로 양이 그다지 많지 않고 다만 배란기 전후로 해서 맑은 물처럼 잠시 양이 증가하는 정도이지만 질염이 있을 때는 질 입구의 가려움, 화끈거림 성관계 시 통증, 소변시 쓰라림 등이 동반된다.

나이가 들수록 '소변' 때문에 어려움을 겪는 사람들이 있다. 소변을 볼 때 통증을 느끼거나 하루에 소변보는 횟수도 부쩍 늘어 8회 이상 소변을 본다. 또한, 참지 못할 정도로 긴박한 요절박 현상을 겪고 있을 뿐만 아니라 소변을 보더라도 시원한 느낌이 들지 않는 방광염 증상이 나타나기도 하고, 더욱이 웃을 때나 기침할 때 가끔 소변이 나와 냄새가 나지 않는지 걱정이 되는 요실금 증상이 나타나기도 한다.

대부분의 양계질병은 열과 통증을 수반하고 있지만, 개나 축우, 돼지와 같이 개체치료를 하지 못하기 때문에 보통 필드에서의 처치는 한계에 부딪치고 있는 실정이다. 특히 "열(Fever)"을 수반하는 동안의 항생체 처치는 계군을 예상되어지는 결과와 반대로 가게되는 경우도 있다. 이에 저자는 대군 농장들을 컨트롤 하기 위하여 여러 수단들을 찾게 되었는데 3년 정도 필드에서 적용하고, 그 결과 많은 호응을 얻게 되었다.

WCDMA system is 3rd generation wireless mobile system specified by 3GPP. In WCDMA downlink, two power control schemes are operated. One is inner loop power control operated in every slot. Another is outer loop power control based on one frame time. Base station (BS) can estimate proper transmission power by these two power control schemes. However, because each MS's transmission power makes a severe effect on BS's performance, BS cannot give excessive transmission power to the specific user. 3GPP defined Power Control Dynamic Range (PCDR) to guarantee proper BS's performance. In this paper, we propose Adaptive PCDR algorithm. By APCDR algorithm, Radio Network Controller (RNC) can estimate each MS's current state using received signal to interference ratio (SIR). APCDR algorithm changes MS's maximum code channel power based on frame. By proposed scheme, each MS can reduce wireless channel effect and endure outages in cell edge. Therefore, each MS can obtain better QoS. Simulation result indicate that APCDR algorithm show more attractive output than fixed PCDR algorithm.
