외상(trauma)이란 신체 외부에서 작용한 힘에 의한 여러 해부학적, 병태생리학적 변화를 수반하는 신체 손상을 의미한다. 외상 환자는 우리 사회가 고도로 발달해 감에 따라 그 수도 따라 증가하고 있다. 치료 및 진단기술의 발전과 보급의 증가로 외상의학의 중요성은 점점 커지고 있으며 그 수요 역시 증가하고 있다. 그중 특히 흉부 및 흉부의 대혈관의 손상은 환자의 생명을 위협하고 그 후유증 역시 심각한 경우가 많아 진단 및 치료 방법의 중요성이 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 흉부 및 흉부의 대혈관의 외상이 발생하였을 경우 그 사고 수상 기전 및 관련된 해부학적 손상 기전에 따라서 다양한 정도의 신체 손상이 발생한다. 주요한 손상으로는 흉부의 동맥에서 발생하는 출혈이 있으며, 이는 혈역학적 불안정과 응고장애 등을 동반하여 환자의 생명을 위협하게 된다. 이러한 손상은 즉각적인 진단과 빠른 치료적 접근이 예후를 증진하는데 도움을 주는 경우가 많다. 이러한 환자의 치료로는 환자의 상태에 따라서 수술적 접근 방법과 중재적 시술로 접근하는 방법이 있다. 이 중 중재적 시술은 그 편리성과 신속성 및 높은 치료 효과로 인해 점차 각광받고 있으며, 전 세계적으로 보다 많은 외상의료기관에서 점차 시행되고 있다. 대표적인 흉부 외상 환자의 인터벤션 치료로는 비대동맥성 손상의 경우 색전술(embolization)이 있으며, 대동맥의 경우 thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR)가 있다. 이러한 시술들은 수술적 치료 방법에 비하여 내과적 혹은 외과적 부작용이 적고, 수술적 방법보다 신속하게 시행할 수 있는 점 등 보다 많은 장점을 가지고 있으며 외상 환자의 치료성적 향상에 기여하고 있다.

Intentional replantation is useful for failed cases of conventional dental treatment - including root canal treatment - to restore the tooth in question. Based on a recent study, it is relatively very successful; prognosis is good for a long period. On the other hand, a tooth that becomes an indication of intentional replantation is often severely weakened throughout several treatments. Moreover, with multi-rooted teeth, extracting without root fracture is difficult. Safe extraction that is free of coronal or root fracture is important, but little information is known as to a concrete, safe way of extraction. There are a few considerations for safe extraction. First, a tooth with orthodontic extrusion force is easier for extraction due to its increased mobility; it increases the amount of the periodontal ligament, which is essential for re-attachment. As a safe way of extraction, the use of physics forceps has been introduced recently; it minimizes damage to the gingiva and alveolar hone. This paper reports the good result of using atraumatic safe extraction via both orthodontic extrusion and physics forceps$^{(R)}$.

Most mechanical systems are now operating consistently and getting faster due to the development of automation systems. Peoples' dependence on machines have increased as when problems occur within the mechanical system, personal injury and production loss may come as a result, as most of the mechanical system's malfunctions are caused by the failure of the rotational bearing. What we need now is a maintenance system that can warn us when it detects abnormal conditions before significant damage occurs to the bearing. In this study, we have developed an acoustic emissions sensor that can figure if the bearing works under the normal condition. With this acoustic emissions sensor, we can inspect the bearing for defects by using the Heterodyne technique, which converts the ultrasound signal into audio, as a signal conditioning process.

Recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism have improved substantially the prognosis of many of these diseases, if diagnosed early enough before irreversible damage occurs. This makes it essential that the practicing pediatrician, especially neonatologists be familliar with the clinical presentations and systematic approaches of these disorders. Characteristic clinical presentations, methods of systematic approach and typing of various disorders is discussed in this review. The signs of neurological dysfunctions of many IEMs manifesting in the neonatal period is very nonspecific, such as poor feeding, poor sucking, apnea or tachypnea, vomiting, hypertonia, hypotonia, seizure, letharginess, consciousness change and coma. Many other non-metabolic severe disorders of neonatal period such as neonatal sepsis and intracerebral hemorrhage share these nonspecific symptoms. Hyperammonemia, metabolic acidosis, ketosis and hyperlatic acidemia are observed in many of these conditions but there are exceptions in which conditions all basal laboratory tests are normal, such as NKH, sulfite oxidase deficiency and peroxisomal disorders. According to the results of basal laboratory tests, IEMs in the neonatal period can be categorized in to 6 types. Grouping of IEMs into 6 types will make confirmatory tests and early emergency treatment more efficient.

The tenn 'Brain plasticity' has been identified that our central nervous system is continuously being adapted and modulated according to environmental needs and demands, and has been used to encompass the multifarious mechanisms related to learning, development, and recovery from damage to the nervous system. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate cortical reorganization in a 26-year-old right-handed hemiparetic patient with traumatic primary motor cortex (M1) injury, using functional MRI (fMRI). The unaffected (left) primary sensori-motor cortex centered on the precentral knob was activated during unaffected (right) hand movements. However, the medial area of the injured M1 was activated during affected (left) hand movements. It seems that the motor function of the affected hand in this patient was reorganized into the medial area of the injured precentral knob. These investigations provide a great useful information and clinical evidences with the specialized clinician in stroke physical therapy about patient's prognosis and therapeutic guidelines.

During clinical endodontic treatment, we often find radiopaque filling material beyond the root apex. Accidental extrusion of calcium hydroxide could cause the injury of inferior alveolar nerve, such as paresthesia or continuous inflammatory response. This case report presents the extrusion of calcium hydroxide and treatment procedures including surgical intervention. A 48 yr old female patient experienced Calcipex II extrusion in to the inferior alveolar canal on left mandibular area during endodontic treatment. After completion of endodontic treatment on left mandibular first molar, surgical intervention was planned under general anesthesia. After cortical bone osteotomy and debridement, neuroma resection and neurorrhaphy was performed, and prognosis was observed. But no improvement in sensory nerve was seen following surgical intervention after 20 mon. A clinician should be aware of extrusion of intracanal medicaments and the possibility of damage on inferior alveolar canal. Injectable type of calcium hydroxide should be applied with care for preventing nerve injury. The alternative delivery method such as lentulo spiral was suggested on the posterior mandibular molar.

The O&M (Operation and Maintenance) phase of offshore plants with a long life cycle requires heavy charges and more efforts than the construction phase, and the occurrence of an accident of an offshore plant causes catastrophic damage. So previous studies have focused on design for reliability, and recently many studies have dealt with a maintenance system to prevent unexpected failures. Nowadays due to the emerging ICTs (Information Communication Technologies) and sensor technologies, it is possible to send health monitoring information of important equipment to administrator of an offshore plant in real time, which leads to having much concern on condition based maintenance policy or predictive maintenance. In this study, we have reviewed previous studies associated with condition-based maintenance of offshore plants, and introduced the approaches predicting failures of the compressor which is one of essential mechanical devices in LNG FPSO.

Surgery has a key role in the treatment of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs), but the resectability of paraspinal MPNSTs is only 20%. Therefore, spinal MPNSTs show frequent recurrence and poor prognosis. Local recurrence is much more common than metastasis for MPNSTs, and surgery still has a key role in the treatment of local recurrence. Therefore, it is important that recurrence must be detected before resectability is lost. However, no evidence-based follow-up protocol has been established for MPNST. The authors performed gross total resection in a 34-year-old woman presented with thoracic MPNST. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy were not administered since these adjuvant therapies generally do not improve survival in MPNST and may cause additional neurovascular damage. Instead, the authors monitored the primary site every 3 months using magnetic resonance imaging to detect local recurrence at the earliest opportunity. The tumor recurred locally on two occasions without overt symptoms at 21 and 24 months postoperatively. These recurrences were treated successfully by gross total removal.
