This study is about the basis of satisfactions by patients : One is 'what factors of the marketing by dental medical service have an effect on consumers dental clinic' The other is 'what is the most important part when consumers choose the dental medical ser Seoul and Gyeonggi area unintentionally. Finally 446 people were analyzed. 6 general questions, 5 selective form questions when consumers choose the dental service, 11 satisfactions questions after treating and thought of reuse the dental service 6 (Likert scale) questions. Whether the choice of hospital dental marketing by dental analysis, both male and female hospital medical marketing and use of selected highly suggests that it does not respond. The resulting satisfaction analysis using the Hospital Dental Marketing consumer access to medical care, and then, a full explanation, comfort, quality and level, health care costs, treatment management, and symptom improvement were higher satisfaction with the item, select the dental healthcare after the analysis of the marketing of recycled doctors are otherwise subject the person selected from all entries equal to or higher than the average consumer satisfaction showed a higher medical doctor also higher reuse. Consequently, Through the use of marketing to choose the best dental healthcare need to providing quality care.

During a 9-year period(March 1985 to February 1994), 111 consecutive total thyroidectomies and modified or radical neck dissections were performed at 81. Vincent Hospital, Catholic University Medical College, for benign and malignant disease. There were three permanent complications, persistent hypoparathyroidism, in total thyroidectomies. Overall complications were observed 20(62.5%) in benign diseases, 47(59.5%) in malignancy. In benign and malignant thyroid diseases. the complications were transient hypoparathyroidisms (28.8%), transient hoarsenesses(21.6%), wound infections (3.6%), bleedings(3.6%), and permanent hypoparathyroidisms(2.7%). Our experience suggests that the morbidity of total thyroidectomy relates primarily to the extracapsular extension, necessitating en bloc exision accompanied by additional lymph node dissection. The low incidence of permanent complications in thyroid disease suggests the feasibility of total thyroidectomy as the operation of choice when surgeons are familiar with the technique and indications.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on the intention of career choice toward psychiatric nurses among nursing students. The participants were 261 senior nursing students from five schools in D and W metropolitan cities. Data were collected from August 1 to 20, 2019, and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and multiple regression using SPSS 26.0 program. In the multiple regression analysis, age (𝛽=.13, p=.048), satisfaction of mental health nursing practicum (𝛽=.16, p=.035) were significant factors on intention of career choice toward mental nurses with 10.3% of total explanatory power. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the practice satisfaction of nursing students by improving the practice environment and clinical nursing instructors' teaching competence. In addition, an further study was proposed that can identify various variables that affect the career choice of mental health nurses by expanding the subjects.

Sialolithiasis is the common pathology of salivary gland. The size of sialoliths vary from 1 mm to a few cm, but most of that are less than 10 mm. Large sialoliths (larger than 15 mm) are extremely rare. It is called Giant sialolithiasis or megalith. Symptom of the giant sialolithiasis is similar to that of regular sialolithiasis. First choice of treatment is removal of the stone. Many literatures reported various methods to remove the sialoliths. For this case report, we accidentally found the giant sialolith on the computed tomography taken for dental implant, and successfully removed the stone by minimal invasive surgical approach. Base on this result, we report this case with literature reviews.

Malignant lymphoma of the sinus is very rare but potentially radiocurable neoplasm. The disease is tend to be localized to the sinus and spread to adjacent local structures on initial presentation, and change to generalized lymphoma is uncommon. Most of sinus lymphoma is diffuse histiocytic type. Radiotherapy to the primary and neck nodes is the treatment of choice, and a survival rate of $50-70\%$ can be expected.

We encountered a rare condition of rice body in subacromial and subdeltoid spaces in a patient with unremarkable medical history. Although it is uncommon, there have been continued reports on its formation in certain type of infective and inflammatory arthritis. However, except for a traumatic event, evaluation yielded no known and conceivable cause for his chronic inflammatory bursitis. Relatively typical findings for rice body on magnetic resonance imaging have been described, and in our case the imaging prompted us to schedule early removal, which is generally accepted as the management of choice to prevent further progression of symptoms. The symptoms of the shoulder showed significant improvement, and a close follow-up schedule has been recommended for observation of recurrence and development of any foreseeable underlying cause.

Here we report a case of ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery[PICA] treated with proximal PICA coil occlusion using an endovascular technique. A 28-year-old man presented with acute severe headache and vomiting followed by seizure. At admission, he was drowsy, with diplopia and right ankle hypesthesia. Computed tomographic scans demonstrated a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Cerebral angiography demonstrated a dissecting aneurysm of the left proximal PICA. One day after the bleeding episode, he was undergone proximal PICA coil occlusion using an endovascular technique. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. The decision that led to the choice of treatment is discussed.

Although lobectomy remains the gold-standard surgical treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer, the frequency of thoracoscopic segmentectomy is increasing. Multiple factors must be considered in the choice of the procedure, ranging from adequate surgical planning or simulation, tumor localization, and identification of the intersegmental plane to severing the intersegmental plane to achieve an oncologically safe surgical margin with no or minimal manual palpation and different landmarks. In this article, we present an overview of methods for each procedural step of thoracoscopic segmentectomy, from preoperative planning to division of the intersegmental plane.

Despite the increasing number of osteochondral lesions of the talus, there are a lack of definite evidence-based treatment protocols. Several types of treatments are available, each having their advantages and disadvantages. First-line therapy consists of well-conducted conservative treatment. Surgical treatment is the second choice. Treatments are chosen based on the size of the lesion, location, chronicity, and the condition of the neighboring cartilage. This article reviews the current updates in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus to help clinicians use the available treatment strategies more efficiently.

Papillary muscle rupture with severe acute mitral regurgitation is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) that causes pulmonary congestion and cardiogenic shock. Moreover, it has a poor prognosis. Surgical intervention, including revascularization, is indicated; however, surgical mortality remains high. We report the case of an 85-year-old woman with cardiogenic shock from severe acute mitral regurgitation, in whom a hybrid intervention, combining percutaneous coronary intervention with mitral valve replacement via minithoracotomy, was performed after post-infarction papillary muscle rupture. She was discharged in a favorable clinical condition. We describe a novel hybrid intervention for treating a rare complication of AMI, which could minimize surgical invasion in elderly patients, prevent disuse syndrome after the intervention, and improve prognosis. However, mitral valve surgery via minithoracotomy for emergency cases requires technical proficiency, as well as collaboration with other healthcare professionals, and the choice to perform this procedure requires careful consideration.
