Increase in the number of older people due to demographic changes poses great challenges to the social healthcare systems both in the Western and as well as in the Eastern countries. Support for older people by formal care givers leads to enormous temporal and personal efforts. Therefore, one of the most important goals is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of today's care. This can be achieved by the use of assistive technologies. These technologies are able to increase the safety of patients or to reduce the time needed for tasks that do not relate to direct interaction between the care giver and the patient. Motivated by this goal, this contribution focuses on applications of acoustic technologies to support users and care givers in ambient assisted living (AAL) scenarios. Acoustic sensors are small, unobtrusive and can be added to already existing care or living environments easily. The information gathered by the acoustic sensors can be analyzed to calculate the position of the user by localization and the context by detection and classification of acoustic events in the captured acoustic signal. By doing this, possibly dangerous situations like falls, screams or an increased amount of coughs can be detected and appropriate actions can be initialized by an intelligent autonomous system for the acoustic monitoring of older persons. The proposed system is able to reduce the false alarm rate compared to other existing and commercially available approaches that basically rely only on the acoustic level. This is due to the fact that it explicitly distinguishes between the various acoustic events and provides information on the type of emergency that has taken place. Furthermore, the position of the acoustic event can be determined as contextual information by the system that uses only the acoustic signal. By this, the position of the user is known even if she or he does not wear a localization device such as a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag.

A retrospective analysis was done for 69 patients with Stage I and II non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who were treated from May 1981 to December 1990, in the Department of Radiadtion Oncology, Korea University Hospital. We used Ann Arbor Staging system and Working Formulation for histological classification. Forty-three patients (43/69, $62.3{\%}$) were Stage I and 26 patients (26/69, $37.7{\%}$) were Stage II, and B symptom was found in $10.1{\%}$ (7/69). Nodal lymphoma was $21.7{\%}$ (15/69); 14 patients with supradiaphragmatic disease and 1 patient with infradiaphragmatic disease. Extranodal lymphoma was $78.3{\%}$ (54/69): $64.8{\%}$ (35/54) for head and neck, $25.9{\%}$ (14/54) for gastrointestinal tract. Histologically, low grade consists of $8.7{\%}$ (6/69), intermediate grade $84.2{\%}$ (56/69), high grade $10.1{\%}$ (7/69), and diffuse large cell type was the most frequent form with 36 patients (36/69, $52.2{\%}$). Eighteen patients ($26.1{\%}$) were treated with radiation therapy alone,20 patients ($29.0{\%}$) with radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy, 15 patients ($21.7{\%}$) with radiation therapy combined with surgery and chemotherapy, Median survival duration was 28 months, and the range of survival time was from 1 month to 134 months. Overall five-year survival rate for Stage I and II disease was $54.2{\%}$, with $64.5{\%}$ for Stage I and $37.1{\%}$ for Stage II. For nodal lymphoma,5-year survival rate was $45.9{\%}$, and $56.5{\%}$ for extranodal lymphoma; $60.6{\%}$ for head and neck, $52.9{\%}$ for GI tract primary disease. Local control rate for all patients was $88.4{\%}$ (61/69), with $80{\%}$ (12/15) for nodal lymphoma and $90.7{\%}$ (49/54) for extranodal lymphoma. The total failure rate was $34.8{\%}$ (24/69). Five of 24 ($20.8{\%}$) patients who were failed developed local failure only, $12.5{\%}$ (3/24) local failure with distant failure, and distant failure only were found in $66.7{\%}$ (16/24). Between nodal lymphoma and extranodal lymphoma, there was no significant survival difference, but extranodal lymphoma showed higher incidence.

IgG 신병증(IgG-associated mesangial glomerulonephritis)은 전세계적으로 드물게 보고되고 있는 새로운 원발성 사구체 질환으로 1993년 Sato 등에 의해 처음으로 보고되었고 이후 1994년 Yoshikawa 등에 의해 소아에서의 10례가 보고되었다. 주로 단백뇨를 주소로 하며 현미경적 혈뇨를 동반하기도 한다. 이 질환은 조직 면역 형광 검사상 사구체 간질에 IgG의 침착을 보이는 사구체 신염이다. 이 질환은 초기에는 양성 경과를 취하는 것으로 알려졌으나 2002년 Fakhouri 등은 대부분은 양성 경과를 보이지만 일부는 말기 신부전증으로 진행함을 관찰할 수 있었으며 1례에서는 신장이식 후 이식신에서 IgG 신병증이 재발된 예도 보고 하였다. 본 증례에서는 한명은 신증후군이 동반되었고 한명은 무증상 현미경적 혈뇨만을 보였다. 이들 모두 면역 형광 현미경 소견상 사구체 간질에 IgG 침착이 주로 보였고 IgM, 보체의 침착도 보였다. 또한 전자현미경 소견상 사구체간질에 고밀도 전자 침착이 보였다. 신생검에서 면역 현미경 소견과 전자 현미경 소견으로 진단된 IgG 신병증 소아환자 2례를 경험하고 국내에서는 아직 보고된 예가 없기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

MRI장비에서 자장의 세기가 증가 하게 되면 사용하는 RF(Radiofrequency) pulse 또한 증가 하게 되고 이는 MRI 장비 안에 놓인 인체의 체온 상승을 증가 시키게 하는 역할을 하게 된다. 이에 국소부위에서의 열 발생을 알아보고자 젤라틴과 pork sample 이용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구는 2014년 12월 21일부터 2015년 8월 14일까지 153명의 환자를 대상으로 실시하였다. 3대의 MRI(1.5T- 1대, 3.0T- 2대)장비를 사용하여 뇌 또는 간 부위에서 일상적으로 쓰이는 sequence 프로토콜을 동일하게 적용하여 검사하였다. 검사 전 후 체온 측정은 적외선 타입의 귀 체온계(Braun社)를 사용하였으며 대상자의 심리적 상태는 직접 설문을 통하여 파악했다. 임상 환자를 대상으로 한 체온 상승 결과를 보면 3.0T가 1.5T에서보다 평균 $0.15^{\circ}C$정도 높았고(p<0.012) 3.0T내 에서도 Philips제조회사에서 보다 GE社 MRI장비에서 $0.14^{\circ}C$정도 더 높았다. 심인성 상태에 따른 결과를 살펴보면 MRI검사 진행 중 나는 소리에 대한 민감성 정도와 체온상승과의 관계는 무관하였고, 폐쇄성에 대한 응답이 긴장감으로 느꼈다고 대답하는 사람일수록 체온이 더 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 자장의 세기가 높은 MRI장비일수록 RF 반응물질(물, 금속물질)에 의한 화상이나 체온상승으로 인한 위험한 상황발생(체온조절 장해 환자의 경우 고온 손상, 과다 땀 발생으로 인한 탈진)이 나타나지 않도록 환자의 상태를 좀 더 예의 주시하며 MRI검사를 진행할 필요가 있겠다. 높은 자기장을 기반으로 한 MRI장비는 인체에 흡수되는 전자파 흡수율인 SAR를 비례적으로 증가시키므로 앞으로는 RF 코일 성능을 향상하거나 영상의 질을 향상시키기 위한 이미지 프로그램을 개발하는 등 자기장 이외의 방법을 강구하는 것이 필요하다.

For years, physicians and anatomists have been interested in the heart that has one functioning ventricle. Various terms have been suggested for this entity including single ventricle, common ventricle, double-inlet left ventricle, cor biatriatum triloculare, and primitive ventricle. In this report, the term "single ventricle" is utilized as suggested by Van Praagh, and is defined as that congenital cardiac anomaly in which a common or separate atrioventricular valves open into a ventricular chamber from which both great arterial trunks emerge. An outlet chamber, or infundibulum, may or may not be present and give rise to the origin of either of the great arteries. This definition excludes the entity of mitral and tricuspid atresia. An 11 year old cyanotic boy was admitted chief complaints of exertional dyspnea and frequent upper respiratory infection since 2 weeks after birth. He was diagnosed as inoperable cyanotic congenital heart disease, and remained without any corrective treatment up to his age of 11 year when he suffered from aggravation of symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure for 2 months before this admission. On 22nd of May 1979, he was admitted for total corrective operation under the impression of tricuspid atresia suggested by a pediatrician. Physical check revealed deep cyanosis with finger and toe clubbing, and grade V systolic ejection murmur with single second heart sound was audible at the left 3rd intercostal space. Development was moderate in height [135 cm] and weight[28Kg]. Routine lab findings were normal except increased hemoglobin [21.1gm%], hematocrit [64 %], and left axis deviation with left ventricular hypertrophy on EKG. Cardiac catheterization and angiography revealed 1-transposition of aorta, pulmonic valvular stenosis, double inlet of a single ventricle with d-loop, and normal atriovisceral relationship [Type III C solitus according to the classification of Van Praagh]. At operation, longitudinal incision at the outflow tract of right ventricle in between the right coronary artery and its branch [LAD from RCA] revealed high far anterior aortic valve which had fibrous continuity with mitral annulus, and pulmonic valve was stenotic up to 4 mm in diameter positioned posterolaterally to the aorta. Ventricular septum was totally defective, and one markedly hypertrophied moderator band originated from crista supraventricularis was connected down to the imaginary septum of the ventricular cavity as a pseudoseptum of the ventricle. Size of the defect was 3X3 cm2 in total. Patch closure of the defect with a Teflon felt of 3.5 x 4 cm2 was done with interrupted multiple sutures after cut off of the moderator band, which was resutured to the artificial septum after reconstruction of the ventricular septum. Pulmonic valvotomy was done from 4 mm to 11 mm in diameter thru another pulmonary arteriotomy incision, and right ventriculotomy wound was closed reconstructing the right ventricular outflow tract with pericardial autograft of 3 x 4 cm2. Atrial septal defect of 2 cm in diameter was closed with 3-0 Erdeck suture, and atrial wall was sutured also when rectal temperature reached from 24`C to 35.5`C. Complete A-V block was managed with temporary external pacemaker with a pacing rate of 110/min. thru myocardial wire, and arterial blood pressure of 80/50 mmHg was maintained with Isuprel or Dopamine dripping under the CVP of 25-cm saline. Consciousness was recovered one hour after the operation when his blood pressure reached 100 /70 mmHg, but vital signs were not stable, and bleeding from the pericardial drainage and complete anuria were persisted until his heart could not capture the pacemaker impulse, and patient died of low output syndrome 320 min after the operation.

Post-thoracotomy pain is so severe that lead to postoperative complications, such as sputum retention, segmental or lobar atelectasis, pneumonia, hypoxia, respiratory failure due to the patient`s inability to cough, deep breathing and movement. Many authors have been trying to reduce the post-thoracotomy pain, but there is no method of complete satisfaction. In 1974, Nelson and associates introduced the intercostal nerve block using the cryoprobe. The application of cold directly to the nerves causes localized destruction of the axons while preserving the endoneurium and connective tissue, thereby introducing a temporary pain block and able to complete regeneration of intercostal nerves. One hundred and two patients, who undergoing axillary or posterolateral thoracotomy at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery in Korea University Medical Center between April 1990 and August 1990, were evaluated the effects of cryoanalgesia for the post-thoracotomy pain reduction. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A, control, the patients without the cryoanalgesia[No.=50], Group B, trial, the patients with cryoanalgesia[No.=52]. Before the thorax closed, in the group A, local anesthetics, 2% lidocaine 3cc, were injected to the intercostal nerves[one level with the thoracotomy, one cranial and caudal intercostal level and level of drainage tube insertion]. In the group B, cryoprobe was directly applied for 1 minute at the same level. Postoperative analgesic effects were evaluated by the scoring system which made arbitrary by author: The pain score 0 to 4, The limitation of motion score 0 to 3, The analgesics consumption score 0 to 3, The total score, the sum of above score, 0 to 10. For the evaluation of immediate analgesic effects, the score were evaluated at the operative day, the first postoperative day, the second postoperative day, and the seventh postoperative day. The effects of incision type, and rib cut to the post-thoracotomy pain were also evaluated. The results were as follows; 1. The intercostal block with cryoanalgesia reduced the immediate postoperative pain significantly compare with control group. 2. The intercostal block with cryoanalgesia improved the motion of the operation side significantly compare with control group. 3. The intercostal block with cryoanalgesia reduced the analgesics requirements at the immediate postoperative periods significantly. 4. The intercostal block with cryoanalgesia lowered the total score significantly compare with control group. 5. The intercostal block with cryoanalgesia were more effective to the mid-axillary incision than to the posterolateral incision 6. The intercostal block with cryoanalgesia were more effective to the patients without rib cut than to the patients with rib cut. 7. No specific complication need to be treated were not occurred during follow-up.
