Purpose : The purpose of this study is to directly understand the health condition of residents of mental health sanatoriums nationwide, which has been difficult to ascertain in surveys conducted to date. The study presents specific measures for improving the health of these residents. Methods : A "physical examination questionnaire for residents of mental health sanatoriums" was developed to check the basic physical condition of residents, and 20 out of 59 mental health sanatoriums nationwide were randomly selected. Medical personnel visited the sanatoriums, interviewing and examining the residents in person. A total of 396 health surveys were completed. Results : Many of the residents were underweight but had abdominal obesity. It was confirmed that chronic diseases among the residents were not diagnosed early or were not properly managed. Among the subjective symptoms complained of by the residents, musculoskeletal symptoms were the most common. Oral examinations revealed a serious level of oral health problems among the residents, including dental caries and missing teeth. Basic physical examinations found health problems that required additional examination or medical treatment. Blood pressure abnormalities made up the highest percentage of the health problems. Conclusion : Regular health surveys are needed to determine the health condition of residents of mental health sanatoriums. Access to and quality of primary medical services within the sanatoriums need to be dramatically improved. A delivery system for severe diseases and emergency medical care in the sanatoriums should also be specifically presented. The residents should be notified upon admission and during their stay that they have the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of mental and physical health. The issue of health rights should be addressed within a larger framework of reorganizing management plans for people in the community - not only residents - with chronic mental illness.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of treadmill gait training in an adjusted position from the functional training system on the gait and balance of chronic stroke patients. METHODS: Thirty chronic stroke patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group, who received treadmill gait training in an adjusted position, or the control group, who received regular treadmill gait training. Both groups underwent a 30-minute comprehensive rehabilitation treatment before receiving an additional 20-minute treadmill gait training. This routine was repeated five times a week for four weeks. To measure the difference before and after training in walking and balance, patients were scored on the following: 10 m walking test (10 MWT), 6 minute walking distance (6 MWD), timed up and go test (TUG), and static standing balance test (stability index). RESULTS: While post-training scores of 10 MWT, 6 MWD, TUG, and stability index for both groups increased significantly compared with pre-training (p<.05), the experimental group showed greater improvement than the control group (p<.05). The scores of the experimental group increased significantly by 9% in the 10 MWT, 11% in 6 MWD, 13% in the TUG, 8% in the stability Index (eye opened), and 10% in the stability index (eye closed). CONCLUSION: Treadmill gait training in an adjusted position from the functional training system would be a useful gait training method to improve walking and balance of chronic stroke patients.

현대 의학에서 방사선 이미지는 환자의 진단 및 치료를 위해 널리 사용된다. 방사선 전문의는 이미지를 정확하게 판독하고, 이를 토대로 환자를 올바르게 진단하는 역할을 한다. 그러나 현재 대부분의 병원에는 방사선 전문의의 수가 매우 부족한 형편이다. 특히, 규모가 작거나 외진 곳에 위치한 병원에서는 방사선 전문의가 존재하지 않는 경우도 있다. 이러한 상황에서는 환자에 대한 올바른 진단이 거의 불가능해 진다. 또한, 방사선 전문의가 24시간 내내 상주하지 않으므로 야간의 응급환자의 경우 방사선 전문의의 부재로 인하여 매우 어려운 상황을 맞을 수도 있다. (주)엑스레이21과 강원대학교 데이터및지식공학 연구실에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 2000년부터 공동 연구를 추진하고 있다. 현재, 컴퓨터와 네트워크 기술의 급격한 발전으로 인하여 많은 방사선 전문의들과 많은 병원들을 인터넷을 통하여 하나로 연결하는 것이 가능해 졌다. 이러한 인터넷 환경을 활용함으로써 본 공동 연구에서는 방사선 이미지의 원격 진단을 위한 인터넷 기반 원격 의료 진단 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 시스템 개발 과정에서 획득한 다양한 기술적 경험들에 관하여 논의한다.

자동심장충격기(AED: Automated External Defibrillator)는 건물 또는 특정 영역 내에 위치함에도 공간적 정확성 및 시간적 가용성에 대한 평가가 이뤄지지 않음으로 이에 대한 공간분석 입지 할당 분석을 통한 구획이 필요하다. 분석결과 기설치 AED 및 공공데이터를 활용한 공간분석을 실시하고 GIS 입지분석 방법을 적용, 지역 주거특성에 맞는 365일 24시간 운용이 가능한 공공기관(119안전센터, 파출소(지서))을 공공 AED 거점후보지로 선정하고 후보지별 티센폴리곤을 생성, 권역별 구획을 실시하였다. AED 특성을 고려한 응급의료서비스 접근성 측면의 서비스권역 분석에서 연구지역 주요지역 대부분 응급의료 필요시간 4분내에 긴급차량이 도착할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었으나 도심 외곽지는 이에 못 미치는 양상이 나타났다. 결과적으로, 야간, 주말시간대의 AED 환자 대응을 위해 공공기관 차량 중심의 AED 거점 서비스센터 운영이 효과적임을 알 수 있었고 공공기관 AED 서비스센터 구축을 위한 대구시 관할 119안전센터, 지구대(파출소)에 대한 위치기반 거리, 속성 분석, 중복 지역 최소화 등으로 기존 도보 방식의 AED 이용보다 차량을 이용하는 방법이 더 효율적으로 나타났다.

The tools that classify the severity of patients based on the prediction of mortality include APACHE, SAPS, and MPM. Theses tools rely crucially on the evaluation of patients' general clinical status on the first date of their admission to ICU. Nursing activities are one of the most crucial factors influencing on the quality of treatment that patients receive and one of the contributing factors for their prognosis and safety. The purpose of this study was to identify the goodness-of-fit of CPSCS of critical patient severity classification system(CPSCS) and Glasgow coma scale(GCS) and the clinical usefulness of its death rate prediction. Data were collected from the medical records of 187 neurological patients who were admitted to the ICU of C University Hospital. The data were analyzed through $x^2$ test, t-test, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, goodness-of-fit test, and ROC curve. In accordance with patients' general and clinical characteristics, patient mortality turned out to be statistically different depending on ICU stay, endotracheal intubation, central venous catheter, and severity by CPSCS. Homer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit tests were CPSCS and GCS and the results of the discrimination test using the ROC curve were $CPSCS_0$, .734, $GCS_0$,.583, $CPSCS_{24}$,.734, $GCS_{24}$, .612, $CPSCS_{48}$,.591, $GCS_{48}$,.646, $CPSCS_{72}$,.622, and $GCS_{72}$,.623. Logistic regression analysis showed that each point on the CPSCS score signifies1.034 higher likelihood of dying. Applied to neurologically ill patients, early CPSCS scores can be regarded as a useful tool.

Injury in agriculture is a serious public health issue with a major impact on the lives of Korean farmers. It is one of the leading causes of death and is also a major cause of longand short-term disability. In 2001, the social cost of one accident in agricultural machinery was estimated as 97.7-97.8 million won that is 4 fold of farm household income in Korea. Effective prevention and control of injuries requires a system of surveillance that monitors the incidence of injuries, their causes, treatment and outcomes. This requires an integrated system of data collection, analysis and interpretation and communication. Creating effective injury surveillance system in Korea requires to establish a framework for a national agenda. Discussions regarding the development of the framework should address, but not be limited to issues related to Data Holdings and Linkages; Capacity and Skills; Communication; Interconnection; and Surveillance Products. Ideally, an injury surveillance system would meet the information requirements across all sectors, while allowing each to have the ongoing information it needs for its policy and programming needs. This study was carried out to develop a surveillance system of agricultural injuries in Korea. Study subjects were residents who lived in a typical agricultural area (Yangpyung area in Kyung-gi province). The main data sources were reports of village headmen, compared with data of 'National Emergency Management Agency', 'National Health Insurance Corporation', 'Insurance of National Agricultural Cooperative', and 'Emergency Medical Centers'. Each data were reviewed to validate the strengths and weaknesses.

Television news programs are becoming significant source of health information. This study aims at investigating the current state of health coverage of the prime time news program in Korea. Data were collected from KBS 9 0'clock news in the period of thirteen months. from December 1. 1998. to November 1. 1999. The data were analyzed using content analysis method. and the reliability degree was 99.7% according to the Holsti's inter-coder reliability test. The current research classified 489 health related news items into 49 sub-categories and five health categories through content analysis. Some of the basic results of this study are as follows. 1. The frequency according to health category, health maintenance promotion(57.3%) topped followed by disease prevention(23.2%), disease treatment(14.9%), life ethics(4.0%), and growth development(0.6%). 2. According to human developmental age. for the most part(80.1 %) is applicable to the entire range of human developmental age. 3. Health maintennance promotion category take top of health category by the rate of 57.3% and contain 20 sub-categories. 4. News items in the life ethics category, which had six sub-categories. occupied only four percent of the total health related news. News in the growth development category included two sub categories and occupied 0.6% of the total news items. 5. In disease prevention and disease treatment category, infectious disease(33.2%) showed the highest percentage according to the WHO's international disease classification system. Disease prevention occupied 23.2% and contained eleven sub-categories while disease treatment occupied 14.9% and included ten sub-categories. Television news coverage on health showed a wide variety of selection in terms that they are reporting various issues. This study, however, found that some news items were confusing and failing in presenting scientific evidences. It is suggested that the television coverage on health could be beneficial to most of viewers in receiving important health information and guidelines, only if they are utilizing their own sound discretion in consuming those news.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review the material handling system of the Airborne Infection Isolation Hospitals which is the one of the key elements of infection control and to improve the basic data for the planning and design of those facilities. Methods: Research was conducted by literature reviews and case studies for the material handling system of domestic and foreign Isolation hospitals. Results: The result of this study can be summarized into three points. First, a general isolation unit and a high level isolated unit need to be distinguished in terms of efficiency and safety. In particular, it is desirable that a high level isolated unit have to completely separate clean and soiled circulations, and soiled corridor should be installed by those means. By doing this, the medical staff can observe patient rooms and supply clean materials directly in the clean zone without wearing PPE, so that safety and work efficiency can be improved at the same time. Second, for the safe disposal of wastes, it is desirable to install a dedicated sterilizer per ward and sterilize it at least in the ward. In addition, It is desirable to install a central waste treatment room and a dedicated soiled corridor in consideration of the inadequate handling capacity and emergency situation. Third, the characteristics of material flow chart in the negative pressured isolation hospitals and the corresponding material handling system have been presented. Implications: Infection control is very important in safety, but it is necessary to respond to the symptoms of the patient.

허혈성 뇌졸중은 뇌혈관의 혈전이나 색전에 의해 뇌 혈류가 감소하게 되어 뇌 조직이 기능을 못하는 질환으로, 질환의 특성상 뇌혈관의 폐색 여부를 확인하는 것이 중요하기 때문에 질환의 진단에 있어서 의료 영상이 필수적으로 활용된다. 그 중에서도 뇌 자기공명영상은 뇌의 구조적인 정보들을 얻을 수 있어 질환을 진단하는데 그 지표로 널리 활용되고 있다. 하지만 허혈성 뇌졸중과 같은 응급 질환의 경우 빠른 진단과 처치에 도움이 될 수 있는 지능적인 시스템이 요구됨에 비해, 기존의 의료 영상 저장 시스템으로는 신속하고 직관적인 영상 정보 제공이 어렵다. 즉, 기존의 시스템은 피상적인 메타 데이터를 이용하여 의료 영상을 관리하고 있어 의료 영상에 내재된 주요 의미적 정보를 고려하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 뇌 자기공명영상이 내포하고 있는 주요 의미적인 정보인 뇌의 해부학적 구조와 같은 영상 정보를 제공할 수 있도록 하는 템플릿 중심의 영상 매핑 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 기법은 방대한 양의 영상을 대표할 수 있는 대표 영상(템플릿)을 선정하여 의미적 특징과 대표 영상(템플릿) 사이의 대응성을 정립하고, 전문가(의사)에 의해서만 분석될 수 있는 영상 사이의 의미적 연관성을 표면화 시켜 의미 기반의 영상 관리를 가능케 한다.
