  • Background: In this retrospective study, we aimed to determine which diagnostic tests were associated with an improvement in Bell's palsy symptoms. Methods: There were 30 patients who visited Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital from April 1, 2017 to February 29, 2020, and who received East-West collaboration treatment for Bell's palsy. The tests included electroneurography (ENoG), electromyography (EMG), hematology, and heart rate variability (HRV) results which were used to determine if any test correlated with improvement of Bell's palsy symptoms. Results: The initial severity of symptoms did not correlate with the tests performed, with the exception of mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (p = 0.013). For both ENoG for oculi degeneration and mean EMG tests, the rate of nerve degeneration showed a significant negative correlation with the improvement of Bell's palsy symptoms. Amongst the HRV test indicators, the square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of differences between the adjacent normal R-R wave interval, the standard deviation of intervals, total power, very low frequency, and high frequency of the wave was negatively correlated with improvement of Bell's palsy symptoms. Similarly, glycosylated hemoglobin Type A1c (HbA1c) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) showed a negative correlation with improvement of symptoms of Bell's palsy. With the exception of HbA1c and ESR, the remaining hematology test results showed no significant difference when comparing before and after treatment. Conclusion: ENoG, EMG, HRV test, HbA1c, and ESR negatively correlated with improvements in Bell's palsy symptoms and may determine the prognosis of Bell's palsy.

  • Scale scores for cognitive domains have been used as an important indicator for both academic achievement and clinical diagnosis. For example, in education, Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) has been used to measure student's capability in academic learning. In a clinical setting, Cognitive Impairment Screening Test utilizes items measuring cognitive ability as a dementia screening test. We demonstrated a procedure of generating cognitive ability test items similar as in CogAT but the theory associated with the generation is totally different. When creating cognitive test items, we applied automatic item generation (AIG) that reduces errors in predictions of cognitive ability but attains higher reliability. We selected two cognitive ability test items, categorized as a time estimation item for measuring quantitative reasoning and a paper-folding item for measuring visualization. As CogAT has widely used as a cognitive measurement test, developing an AIG-based cognitive test items will greatly contribute to education field. Since CLASS is the only LMS including AIG technology, we used it for the AIG software to construct item models. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the item generation process using AIG implemented within CLASS, along with proving quantitative and qualitative strengths of AIG. In result, we confirmed that more than 10,000 items could be made by a single item model in the quantitative aspect and the validity of items could be assured by the procedure based on ECD and AE in the qualitative aspect. This reliable item generation process based on item models would be the key of developing accurate cognitive measurement tests.

  • This empirical study, activity-based costing, a newly introduced approach that has proved to be an improvement over the conventional costing system in product or service costing, is applied at department of clinical pathology in K university hospital. The study subjects were 233 test procedures done in clinical laboratory of K university hospital. Activity analysis was done by interview, questionnaires, and time study, and the amount of resources consumed by each activity and their costs are then traced and applied to the laboratory tests. The main purpose of this study were to compare the test costs of activity-bases costing with those of conventional costing, and test fees of medical insurance, and to provide accurate cost informations for the decision makers of hospital. The major findings of this study were as belows. 1. The cost drivers for application of activity-based costing at clinical laboratory were cases of sample collection, case of specimen, cases of test, and volume-related allocation bases such as direct labor hours and total revenue of each test. 2. The profits of each clinical laboratory fields analyzed by conventional costing were different from the profits analyzed by activity-based costing, especially in the field of Urinalysis(approximately over estimated 750%). 3. The standard full costs by conventional costing were quite different from the costs computed by using activity-based costing, and the difference is most significant with the tests of long labor time. 4. From the comparison between costs computed by using activity-based costing and medical insurance fees, some test fees were significantly lower than the costs, especially in the non-automated fields. As described in this study, activity-based costing provides more accurate cost information than does conventional costing system. The former approach is especially important in the health care industry including hospitals in which planning and controlling the costs services provided are the key to maintaining a healthy financial status for the organization. Despite the contribution of activity-based costing the economic as well as technical feasibilities of implementing such a cost accounting system in an organization must be evaluated. In the development of activity-based costing systems, an activity analysis has to be conducted to identify activities that consume resources. This involves a detailed study of the organization's logistics and accounting information systems, and it is an expensive project in itself. Besides, it can be quite difficult and time consuming to identify and trace resource consumption to a specific activity. Thus the activity-based costing system should be implemented only when the decrease in cost of error far exceeds the increase in cost of measurement. By combining activity-based costing with standard costing, health care administrators can better plan and control the costs of health services provided while ensuring that the organization's bottom line is healthy.

  • 소음상황에서의 어음 이해 능력은 효과적인 의사소통을 위한 중요한 기술이다. 이러한 능력을 평가하는 방법으로 Hearing In Noise Test(HINT) 도구가 제안되어 사용되고 있다. 하지만 국내에서 이 유용한 도구가 초기의 기대와 달리 임상에서 적극적으로 활용되지 못하고 있다. 연령이 높아질수록 정상 청력을 가지고 있을지라도 양이에서 들어오는 신호들을 처리하는데 어려움을 겪게 되고, 특히 배경 소음이 있는 상황에서 듣기는 더욱 어려워진다. 하지만, 어음이해에 상당한 문제점을 갖고 있는 노인 인구들을 임상적으로 평가하는 도구들이 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 검사법이 근거하고 있는 기전에 있는 인지적 특성과 임상에서의 문제점을 분 석하여 개선점을 제안하고자 한다. 기본 임상 사례로 정상 청력을 가진 20대와 70대의 대표적 HINT점수를 비교하고, 소음이 어떤 조건에서 제시되는가에 따른 문장 인지 특징을 조명하였다. 대상자의 HINT score는 Quiet(Q), Noise Front(NF), Noise Right(NR), Noise Left(NF)조건에서 분석되었다. 여러 임상적 관점에서 유용한 점은 배경 소음이 있을 때 노인의 경우 청년보다 더 많은 신호대잡음비를 필요함을 나타내는 정량적 변수를 보여주고, 양이차폐감소차이(Binaural Masking Level Difference, BMLD)효과도 보여주고 있다는 점이다. 효과적 임상적 적용에는 세부 연령대별 비교 가능한 표준 자료가 극히 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 유용성 확인과 함께 임상 관련 개선점을 제시하였다.

  • 본 연구는 치위생과 학생들의 영성을 알아보고 영성이 임상실습 시 발생할 수 있는 스트레스에 영향을 미치는가에 대하여 조사하였다. 연구도구는 영성, 임상실습스트레스, 일반적 특성으로 구성하였으며, 설문조사는 K지역에 위치한 치위생과 재학생 280명을 대상으로 2019년 3월부터 7월까지 이루어졌다. 자료분석은 일반적 특성에 따른 영성과 임상실습스트레스의 차이는 t-test, ANOVA를 실시하였으며 영성과 임상실습 스트레스 간의 상관관계는 Pearson correlation coefficients로 분석하였다. 그 결과 치위생과 재학생의 임상실습 스트레스는 영성, 전공만족도, 학과성적과 부적 상관관계가 있었고 학과에 지원한 동기가 성적일 경우 임상실습 스트레스가 다소 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 제한점은 치위생과 재학생의 영성에 대한 선행연구가 미비하여 구체적 비교가 불가능하다는 것이다. 따라서 치위생과재학생에 대한 영성과 임상실습스트레스에 대한 다양한 연구와 이에 대처할 전략적 모색이 필요할 것이라 사료된다.
