최근 고령화에 따른 치매 환자 증가 추세로 인해 실내 치매 환자 케어 시스템이 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비콘과 센서를 이용한 치매 환자의 배회 방지 및 위험 장소 접근 알림 시스템을 개발하였다. 치매 환자의 실내 위치를 추적하기 위해 비콘을 실내 곳곳에 부착하고, 치매 환자의 위험 행동을 감지하기 위해 센서를 위험지역에 설치한다. 스마트폰을 사용하여 비콘 신호를 측정하고 측정된 비콘 신호를 사용하여 치매 환자의 위치를 계산하여 치매 환자가 위험에 처했다고 판단되면 이를 간병인에게 알린다. 위 시스템을 통해 간병인의 부담을 덜고, 간병 비용을 절약할 수 있다.

Delirium is a acute syndrome of disorientation caused by dysfunction of brain tissue and has a many varied symtome. It is characteristic of consciousness disturbance with disorientation and dys-mnesia and emotional disturbance. We experienced a 91 year-old woman who had a sequela of compression fracture as well as unspecified delirium, and whose condition was improved through oriental medical treatment. We had given herb medication, acupuncture treatment and decreased medication to this patient, and observed. The patient's delirium symptom had improved through oriental medical treatment and decreasing medication. It is able to improve a delirium caused by not specified origin and side effect on drug abuse through oriental medical treatment and decreasing medication.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is highly prevalent in dementia, with no specifically effective treatment having yet been discovered. Amyloid plaques are one of the key hallmarks of AD. Transgenic mouse models exhibiting Alzheimer's disease-like pathology have been widely used to study the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, we showed an age-dependent correlation between cognitive function, pathological findings, and [F-18] Florbetaben (FBB) PET images. Nineteen transgenic mice (12 with AD, 7 with controls) were used for this study. We observed an increase in ${\beta}$-Amyloid deposition ($A{\beta}$) in brain tissue and [F-18] FBB amyloid PET imaging in the AD group. The [F-18] FBB data showed a mildly negative trend with cognitive function. Pathological findings were negatively correlated with cognitive functions. These finding suggests that amyloid beta deposition can be well-monitored with [F-18] FBB PET and a decline in cognitive function is related to the increase in amyloid plaque burden.

Lack of sleep time increases risks of fatigue, hypomnesis, decreased emotional stability, indigestion, and dementia. The risks can be reduced by providing eyelid-warming, inducing sleep and improving sleep quality. However, effective warming temperature to an person varies depending on physical condition and the individual. The various types of frequencies can be identified in brain wave from a person and amount of frequencies is also changed continuously before and after sleep. Therefore we can identify the user's sleep stage with brain wave, namely EEG. Effective sleep induction is possible if warming temperature to a person is controlled based on EEG. In this paper, we propose customized warming control techniques based on EEG for a efficient and effective sleep induction. As an experiment, sleep induction effects of standard sleep mask and customized temperature control techniques sleep mask are compared. EEG data and warming temperature were measured in 100 experiments. At customized warming control techniques, experiments showed that the ratio of alpha and theta waves increased by 3.21%p and the time to sleep decreased by 85 seconds. It will contribute to effective sleep induction and performance verification methods in customized sleep mask systems.

현재 경증치매를 갖고 있는 노인은 노인장기요양보험법에 의해 치매안심센터나 지역의 주간보호센터에서 인지프로그램을 제공받을 수 있지만, 지역의 독거노인은 치매 고위험군이면서 장기요양제도의 혜택은 받지 못하고 있는 상황이다. 독거노인의 비율은 점차로 높아져 가고 있지만 자립생활을 위한 일상생활능력향상 프로그램이나 치매예방을 위한 인지프로그램의 제공은 상당히 미미한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 지역의 독거노인을 대상으로 ICT나 VR을 활용한 인지프로그램 개발의 필요성과 활용성을 조사, 분석하였다. 독거노인들은 새로운 기술에 대한 호감이 높았고, 기술활용에 대한 두려움과 호기심을 가지고 있었다. 다만, 새로운 기구나 기술을 접목할 때의 인간 관계와 유대감이 매우 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the motor subtypes of delirium in patients in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), and identify the factors related to the characteristics of patients according to the motor subtypes of delirium. Methods: Data were collected in the SICU of a tertiary hospital in ^⁎ city from October 2018 to June 2019. Delirium was detected using the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) and motor subtypes of delirium were measured with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale (DMSS)-4. Patients' characteristics were obtained by using the electronic medical records. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: Among 1,112 patients, 172 patients showed delirium (15.5%). After excluding dementia patients and patients refusing to participate in the study, 126 patients included in the final analysis. Delirium patients were classified as hyperactive delirium (32.5%), hypoactive delirium (42.9%), mixed delirium (11.9%), and non-motor subtype delirium (12.7%). Conclusion: The study results suggest that hypoactive delirium is the most prevalent motor subtype of delirium in SICU. More application of ventilators, more administration of sedatives, more use of catheters, and higher nursing severity were reported for hypoactive delirium cases than hyperactive ones. Therefore, it is necessary to assess early the motor subtypes of delirium using structured tools and develop appropriate nursing interventions suitable for each subtype of delirium.

Parkinson's disease is one of the typical neurodegenerative disease and it is caused by the destruction of substantia nigra in brain leading to lack of dopamine secretion, and it presents 4 major motor symptoms such as tremor, bradykinesia, stiffness, postural instability. Furthermore, it causes many non-motor symptoms such as anosmia, REM sleep conduct disorder, orthostatic hypotension, dementia and autonomic ataxia such as lack of adjusting blood pressure, hyperhydrosis, constipation. Dopaminergic therapy is the most commonly used strategy, but long term treatment of levodopa induce various adverse effects. Thus, many people are focusing on new therapies other than established therapies, and there are many tries and approaches with paradigm shift. Our medical team was able to get 4 cases of PD patients who are hospitalized in our hospital, treated by Whole Body Gi-Hyeol Therapy consisting of acupuncture therapy, herbal therapy, and mental therapy, and their conditions improved in perspective of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS), Heart Rate Variability(HRV), and Quality of life. Among all 4 cases, UPDRS score and quality of life score is gotton better, and among 2 cases SDNN, RMS-SD, TP, LF, HF scores are finely increased. And PDQ-39 score which shows quality of life is also improved. However, in spite of these improvements and positive results, there were no meaningful improvement in a hurt from a fall which is important to the aged, muscular atrophy which causes bone fracture and SMI(Skeletal Muscle Mass Index) which is indicator of osteoporosis. Thus, supplementary treatment about Whole Body Gi-Hyeol Therapy such as more active nutrition intervention, safe and effective kinesitherapy is needed, and from now on continuous case reports and systematic clinical research which has control group must be carried out.

간경변이 없이 자발성 비신단락으로 인해 발생한 만성후천성간뇌퇴행으로 진단된 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하였다. 본 증례는 만성후천성간뇌퇴행의 임상양상인 인지기능 저하, 의식변화, 기면, 구음장애, 진전, 보행장애 등의 증상을 가지면서도, 간질환이 없이 자발성 문맥-체순환 단락에 의한 것이란 점과, 피질하 혈관성 치매가 동반되었다는 점에서 그 진단에 주목할 만하다. 대개 만성후천성간뇌퇴행이 일반적인 간성 혼수 치료에 잘 반응하지 않는다고 알려져 있으나, 한약 치료를 통해 의식변화, 진전, 보행장애 등의 증상에 좋은 반응을 관찰할 수 있었다.
