Carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is a leading cause of the variable neuropsychiatric impairment. Despite of widely known central nerve system complications after CO intoxication, peripheral neuropathy due to CO poisoning is rare and has been under-recognized. We report interesting case of a 29-year-old male who suffered from motor weakness and sensory abnormalities in his lower extremity following acute CO intoxication. The patient revealed direct and indirect signs of peripheral neuropathy of the left inferior gluteal and sciatic nerve on magnetic resonance imaging.

Dental treatment under general anesthesia is considered for behavioral control of disabled patients who have severe anxiety or involuntary movement. However, in case of simple treatment, inhalation or intravenous sedation, which has earlier onset and recovery, is preferred. Conventionally, nitric oxide is used for inhalation sedation, nowadays sevoflurane can also be used due to easily titratable for controllable effect and less complications. In this case report, two patients with mental retardation required simple dental treatment. Deep sedation with inhaled sevoflurane were successfully employed and patients were discharged without any complications.

Isolated iliac artery aneurysm (IAA) is rare, but can be fatal. Emergency surgery is performed in cases of hemorrhagic shock due to a suddenly ruptured IAA, which may have a high mortality rate because of massive non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH). Recently, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been accepted as an alternative to aortic cross-clamping via open thoracotomy to achieve hemostasis in trauma patients with profound shock due to NCTH and is considered an emerging bridging therapy for damage control. However, there is limited information on the use of REBOA in non-trauma patients with shock. Herein, we describe a patient with impending cardiac arrest due to isolated ruptured IAA, in whom perioperative bleeding was successfully controlled by REBOA.

Lesions occurring simultaneously in the somatosensory or motor cortex of the brain and the cervical spine are rare. Brain tumors can cause similar symptoms to cervical lesions which can lead to confusion in treatment priorities. Moreover, if cervical disease is noticeably observed in radiologic findings of a patient complaining of cervical radiculopathy with non-specific electromyography results, it is common to no longer perform further evaluation. Here we introduce two cases where the cause of cervical radiculopathy was first considered to be the result of a degenerative cervical disease but was later discovered to be a result of a brain tumor.

Retroperitoneal hemorrhage is a potentially lethal complication in patients on anticoagulant therapy and can be caused by ovarian artery bleeding, regardless of the patients' age and obstetric history. This case illustrates the clinical presentation of ovarian artery bleeding in a postmenopausal female on anticoagulant therapy, the diagnostic utility of transcatheter angiography, and successful embolization.

Intradural schwannoma accompanied with torsion is rare. Intradural lumbar schwannoma was found in a 63-year-old man presenting with right sacral pain radiating to the lower extremity. This mass showed minimal enhancement on MRI. The tumor's location changed each time on MRI and CT-myelography. The patient underwent surgical resection and the cauda equina, linked to this schwannoma, was severely twisted.

Purposes: The Common Data Model(CDM) is very important for multi-institutional research. There are various domestic and international CDM construction cases to actively utilize it. In order to construct a CDM, different terms from each institution must be mapped to standard terms. Therefore, we intend to derive the importance and major issues of terminology mapping and propose a solution in CDM construction. Methodology/Approach: This study conducted terminology mapping between Electronic Health Record(EHR) and MOA CDM for constructing Medical Record Observation & Assessment for Drug Safety(MOA) CDM at Dankook University Hospital in 2022. In the process of terminology mapping, a CDM standard terminology process and method were developed and terminology mapping was performed by applying this. The constructions of CDM mapping terms proceeded in the order of diagnosis, drug, measurement, and treatment_procedure. Findings: We developed mapping guideline for CDM construction and used this for mapping. A total of 670,993 EHR data from Dankook University Hospital(January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2021) were mapped. In the case of diagnosis terminology, 19,413 were completely mapped. Drug terminology mapped 92.1% of 2,795. Measurement terminology mapped 94.5% of 7,254 cases. Treatment and procedure were mapped to 2,181 cases, which are the number of mapping targets. Practical Implications: This study found the importance of constructing MOA CDM for drug side effect monitoring and developed terminology mapping guideline. Our results would be useful for all future researchers who are conducting terminology mapping when constructing CDM.
