Cardiovascular involvement in cases of Behcet's disease is a rare but life-threatening condition, and prosthetic valve detachment is a frequent and serious complication attributable to Behcet's disease following the surgical repair of aortic regurgitation. We report the case of a patient with Behcet's disease presenting with contained aortic rupture around the aortic root. The patient had previously undergone aortic valve surgery three times due to recurrent prosthetic valve detachment. An emergency operation was performed, consisting of aortic root replacement (ARR) using a composite valved conduit and the replacement of the hemiarch. ARR may be an appropriate surgical option for patients with Behcet's disease in order to prevent recurrence of the disease.

Major cardiac complication such as acute myocardial infarction can occur unexpectedly in patients without risk factors. We experienced cardiac arrest due to an unexpected acute myocardial infarction in a patient without any risk factors during head and neck reconstructive surgery. The patient was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction after return of spontaneous circulation. With immediate percutaneous coronary intervention, the patient recovered without complications.

Atrial septal defect is the most common of the congenital heart disease in the adult. Since the first description of atrial septal defect by Rokitansky in 1857, this anomaly has been studied by many workers in past one century. In 1953, Lewis had first corrected the atrial septal defect under direct vision with deep hypothermia, and Gibbon [1954] had first done the atrial septal defect under direct vision with extracorporeal circulation. In our college [May 2’ 1977], we have first repaired the A.S.D. under direct vision with artificial heart-lung machine and, the defect was 4x5cm in size which was closed by Dacron patch. This patient was 12 year old girl who is well now. [postoperative 13 days]

this study is aiming to obtain an index and a standard assessment which will help in forecasting circulation (critical movement-line) & behavior of pediatric out-patients for each sickness for future children's hospitals construction planning. The study above was based on the analytical results of ordinary disease types of child patients and the circulation of pediatric out-patients by each sickness, along with the comparison study on relationship between these analytical results and hospital facilities.

TAPVC represents 1 to 4% of all congenital cardiac defects. Generally severe and refractory cardiac failure develops in the majority of patients in the early infancy. In a small minority of patient, they are relatively asymptomatic in infancy, but symptoms will develop of necessity In the later life. Our three cases had dyspnea on exertion and cyanosis and had a history of frequent respiratory infections. All 3 cases had the typical showman configuration on roentgenograms of the chest. Current surgical therapy has greatly altered the unfavorable course of these patients after institution of extra-corporeal circulation. We have experienced three cases from June, 1973 to May, 1983, the patients were undergone complete repair with extracorporeal circulation at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery in the Yonsei University. The ages ranged from 12 years to 14 years, all cases were supracardiac type of TAPVC. Only one case died due to bleeding from anastomosis site between LA and pulmonary venous trunk. In the remaining two patients with complete corrections of TAPVC, there was excellent relief of symptoms such as dyspnea and cyanosis. Their postoperative course have been good during follow-up.

The purpose of this study is identify the status of the ward of public hospital for integrated nursing care service. Integrated nursing care service has been expanding on a national scale from 2016 but most of public hospitals are currently unable to operate due to nursing shortage. In this study 8 wards of public hospital have been chosen and analyzed. The measure of space program and area distribution(patient area percentage, staff area percentage, circulation area percentage), nurses's walking distance(distance from ns to patient room, distance from ns to core) were calculated by depthmapX and autocad programs. The result of this study is as follows. Nurse's walking distance is more than 24m so the efficiency of nurse's patient care is reduced. The percentage of patient area in double-corridor is higher and the patient feels more comfortable but the Nurse's walking distance is longer and the accessibility is lowered. NS should be located in the center of the ward and close to the core but some wards are not composed of proper space-separation and flow of human trrafic is overlapped. This study may serve as basic research for the architectural plan for future integrated nursing care ward.

Aconitum is an extremely dangerous plant that contains various toxic diterpenoid alkaloids, primarily concentrated in the roots. We report a case of acute intoxication of a 60-year-old man admitted to our emergency department after ingestion of a large amount of homemade aconitine decoction. At presentation about one hour after intake, the patient was unconscious and electrocardiographic analysis showed a ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation. Several times defibrillation was applied and antiarrhythmic agents were administered, but the patient still exhibited a refractory ventricular fibrillation and failed to return to spontaneous circulation. Sustained cardiopulmonary resuscitation finally produced a pulsatile cardiac rhythm at two hours after intake. The patient was discharged from our hospital on day 8. The authors stress that clinicians must be aware of the possible occurrence of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia in cases of aconitine intoxication and be prepared to persist with prolonged CPR as necessary.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease(PID) is a spectrum of inflammatory disorders of the female genital tract involving at least the endrometrium and may include the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic cavity. Women with PID acutely experience pain and are at risk for sepsis; however, the long-term complications such as chronic pelvic pain, organic changes like chronic salpingitis, adhesions, etc., and the significant increases in ectopic pregnancy and infertility are more important and hard to control. This study is about one patient who has chronic PID with inflammatory pelvic mass. The patient was treated with retention enema therapy which use herbs effective for reducing inflammation, resolution abdominal mass, promoting blood circulation. Also, treated with herbal medication of Danchisoyosan(丹梔逍遙散) and Moxibution at Zhongwan(中脘), Guanyuan(關元). After total treatment for three months, the patient's symptoms are improved and the size of inflammatory pelvic mass is reduced. This results indicates that the combination treatment, especially the retention enema therapy is effective on reducing symptoms of PID and the size of secondary inflammatory organic changes.

Purpose: Facilities for infection prevention according to the characteristics of the patients, caregivers and medical personnel are needed in the patient triage room of the emergency department as a space for the first medical examination and classification of the patients. This study focus on the patient tirage room with the highest frequency of use in the emergency department to prevent the hospital acquired infection of the emergency department. Methods:: This study analyzed the facilities standard needed for the infection prevention through interviews with the medical personnel and analyses on the facilities standard/cases of foreign hospitals and facilities standard at home and abroad Results: And based on this, it attempted to present improvement measures by analyzing the line of circulation and space used by infected patients in a hospital designated in the regional emergency medical center among hospitals whose emergency department overcrowding index is high. Implications: The facilities standard for the infection prevention among the courses for patient classification of the emergency medical centers could be identified and implemented to prevent infection.
