  • Pathogen infections or mastitis inflammations usually develop differently on each udder of lactating cow. Although healthy udders will be attacked by the mastitis pathogens or the pathogens from blood in a long term, they would not be always inflamed. Somatic cell counts (SCC) in milk, which is utilized as an index of mastitis diagnosis, and the relation among SCC and milk constituents will have to be examined on each udder individually. Twelve cows of a Holstein cow herd in Nasu Research Station, which were suffering clinical or non-clinical mastitis, were selected, and SCC and milk constituents on each udder milk were measured. The effects of mastitis infection on udder milk components were relatively small except lactose content on udder milks of non-clinical mastitis (SCC< $10.0{\times}10^5$ per ml milk). On udder milks of clinical mastitis, however, high negative correlations were recognized between SCC and milk components. On different sampling days, high contents of fat and protein corresponded to that of total solids.

  • In the anaerobe identification, when we develop the clinical decision support system for department of laboratory medicine, we must consider expression of an incomplete knowledge structure and addition of an evolving knowledge based on an expert's informal and heuristic knowledge is very complicated work flow. In the present study, we developed the system for anaerobe identification to advise on identification of unknown bacillus using knowledge base and inference engine. In the future, we are planning to develop the clinical decision support system for the whole bacteria not only an anaerobe but also aerobe to offer an expert's static and dynamic knowledge.

  • The goal of this paper is to examine the effects of a CDSS(Clinical Decision Support System) for drug prescription on organizational performance in medical institutions using POC(Point Of Care) systems. For achieving this goal, evaluation factors for influencing performance of information system were identified by using the performance evaluation model for CDSS. In the results, there was significant causality between each evaluation domain except system quality domain. In addition, the system quality of CDSS for optimal drug prescription has no influence on user satisfaction. But information quality has positive influence on user satisfaction which has also a positive influence on organizational performance.

  • This study was intended to investigate differences in the recognition of the importance and performance of clinical nutrition management by using IPA. For the study, 100 clinical nutritionists working at medical institutions were analyzed. In all 17 categories of nutritional management, significant differences were observed in awareness of performance and importance. The categories with the greatest difference in importance and performance awareness were the nutritionist's participation in clinical nutrition education and related job development activities(1.38), and the lowest categories were the provision of therapeutic meals(0.69). Since IPA analysis results showed that participation in clinical nutrition education and related task development were both low in importance and performance, it should be improved first. A way to improve is for nutritionists to receive internal and external education. Above all things, for effective treatment, policies to include clinical nutritionist in the category of medical personnel, and cooperation between the medical sector and nutrition service management are necessary.

  • This study was a descriptive research investigating the impact of simulation-based learning on the problem solving process and clinical competence of new nurses. The 202 participants were new nurses who have provided nursing care for less than 12 months have experienced simulation-based learning more than once in their undergraduate courses. This study found that the number of times participants have experienced the simulation-based learning had no correlation with their problem solving process and clinical competence, but simulation design features correlated with their problem solving process and clinical competence. The results of clustering analysis that examined differences in the effects on problem solving process and clinical competence by classifying simulation design features by clustering also showed significant differences. This study has confirmed the importance of simulation design to simulation-based learning in nursing education. We hope that the findings of the study will be used for effective operation of simulation-based learning. In the future, objective assessment methods will be required to evaluate the effects of simulation-based learning provided in undergraduate courses on nurses' clinical competence.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore factors inducing dental hygiene student's activeness during clinical practice. A conceptual study was conducted for dental hygiene students who participated in the clinical practice for the first semester of 2019. The focus question was, 'What factors induced activeness during clinical practice?', a total of 33 statements were drawn by analyzing the responses. Results of multidimensional scale analysis and cluster analysis, there are six factors that induce activeness 'provide information on clinical practice', 'possibility to participate in clinical practice', 'possibility of adaptation', 'attitude of educator', 'patience of educator', and 'attitude toward trainees'. Among them, the most factor inducing activeness was the 'possibility to participate in practice'. The four items inducing activeness were 'provide a training manual', 'can be observed closely,' 'practice for a sufficient period', and 'the educator's attitude is kind'. The results of this study could be used as basic data to enhance the clinical practice effect of dental hygiene students.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to propose contents of a curriculum and training program for dental hygienists as medical professionals by surveying the opinions of clinical dental hygienists and dental hygiene professors. Methods: The subjects were 192 clinical dental hygienists and 193 dental hygiene professors. They answered questionnaires that consisted of grading each task based on its importance: a) for dental hygiene students to learn, b) to perform autonomously in clinical practice, and c) the expectancy of the task to change when dental hygienists become medical professionals. Data analysis was performed using an independent sample T test to capture differences between clinical dental hygienists and dental hygiene professors. The terms in the answers of open-ended questionnaires were extracted. We used R 3.5.0, R Recommender, and Wordcloud software packages. Results: Calculus removal had the highest scores for dental hygiene students to learn and expectancy to change when dental hygienists become medical professionals. Physiotherapy of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), planning, performing, and assessment of community oral health programs had the lowest scores in autonomy in clinical practice. The dental hygiene professors gave higher scores in most of the tasks for dental hygiene students to learn, autonomy in clinical practice, and expectancy to change, than did clinical dental hygienists. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), job ethics, and communication were the most frequently mentioned terms in the training as medical professionals program contents. Conclusions: In the future, it will be necessary to study the curriculum to improve the proficiency of dental hygienists as medical professionals.
