This is a retrospective study of 31 patients, who were diagnosed as bilateral TMJ internal derangement in consequence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) at Department of Dentistry, Ajou University Hospital, and who were compared clinical findings with radiological findings. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The average of the patients of bilateral TMJ internal derangement was 27.3 years with a range from 12 to 74 years, and 93.6% of the patients were yonger than 40 years of age. The male-female ratio was 1 : 6.8, and the females of $20{\sim}29$ years were most common in 35.5%. 2. In the patients of bilateral TMJ internal derangement, the patients who complained clinical symptoms bilaterally were 38.7% and the patients who complained clinical symptoms untilaterally were 61.3%. 3. The most common disc position of bilateral TMJ internal derangement was anterior disc displacement without reduction on both sides in 38.7%. The most common disc configuration of bilateral TMJ internal derangement was biconcave on both sides and amorphous on both sides in closed mouth, and was amorphous on both sides in open mouth. 4. In the patients of bilateral TMJ internal derangement, the joints which really showed clinical symptoms were most common in anterior displacement without reduction of 48.9%.

The bilateral cleft lip, a more severe form of clefting than unilateral cleft lip, involves separation of the lip along philtral lines, isolating the central segment (prolabium). Bilateral cleft lip may be either symmetrical or asymmetrical, in which case the cleft lip is split more on one side than on the other. The cleft affects the obvious facial form as an anatomic deformity and has functional consequences, affecting the child's ability to eat, speak, hear, and breathe. Although there would seem to be quite a variance in reported figures, ratios of cleft lip with or without cleft palate have gone as high as 1:500 and as low as 1:1000. It is known that less than 10% of cleft lips are bilateral. Although bilateral cleft lip is less common than unilateral cleft lip, the deformity is more severe, and the reconstructive technique is more complex. Surgery is the only treatment necessary for patients with bilateral cleft lip. Accompanying the evolution of surgical repair is the increasingly important role of orthodontic support with early presurgical alveolar and nasal molding. Repositioning the maxillary and alveolar segments into a more anatomic position allows the surgeon to repair the lip and associated nasal deformity under more optimal conditions. The purpose of this article is to review the related anatomy, presurgical management, and surgical management of bilateral cleft lip.

Bilateral pedicle stress fracture is a rare entity and few cases have been reported in the literature. Furthermore, the majority of these reports concern previous spine surgery or stress-related activities. Here, the authors report ankylosing spondylitis as a new cause of bilateral pedicle stress fractures accompanying spondylolysis. The reported case adds to the literature on bilateral pedicle stress fracture and spondylolysis by documenting that ankylosing spondylitis is another cause of this condition.

This paper poses tracking control and torque control methods to reduce torque ripple for bilateral symmetric trainers. As opposed to the conventional method, the torque control method for active joint movement is proposed. Using a step motor (PK296-03b, step angle: $1.8^{\circ}$), a simulator for a bilateral symmetric trainer is created, and the effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified through experiment results.

We report a rare case of cauda equina syndrome due to bilateral lumbar facet cyst. A 62-year-old woman has developed both legs sciatica 3 months prior to her visit, but recently motor weakness and voiding difficulty occurred. Lumbar magnetic resonance image showed bilateral lumbar facet cyst compressing and surrounding both L5 nerve root and accompanying spinal stenosis. Urgent decompressive laminectomy and cyst removal was performed. Although sciatica was relieved and motor weakness was recovered usefully. Voiding difficulty and dysesthesia were not improved.

Congenital absence of the bilateral internal carotid arteries (ICA) is a very rare occurrence. Recognition of this rare anomaly is important, when considering intracranial endovascular interventions in the event of thromboembolic events with revascularization, transsphenoidal surgery, and the surveillance and detection of associated cerebral aneurysms. We report a case of a 25-year-old man who presented with headache since 2 years ago, and was incidentally discovered to have a congenital bilateral absence of ICAs.

목적 : 본 연구는 양측상지기능 평가도구의 체계적 고찰을 통해, 대상자, 평가방법, 신뢰도, 타당도, 민감도 등을 분석하여 임상 및 연구에서의 자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 2014년 12월 한달 동안 PubMed 데이터베이스에서 'upper extremity'와 'motor actiity' 'activities of daily living'와 'assessment instrument' 'disability evaluations'의 키워드로 검색하여, 최종적으로 68개의 연구에서 44개의 상지기능 평가도구를 추출하였다. 추출된 평가도구에서 양측상지기능 평가도구의 비율, 대상자, 측정방법, 신뢰도, 타당도, 민감도를 비교분석하였다. 결과 : 상지기능 평가도구 중 양측상지기능 평가도구는 2개로 가장 적었다. 모두 뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 하였으며, 환자의 양측 상지수행을 통해 환측의 기능을 측정하는 평가도구였다. 평가도구의 신뢰도, 타당도, 민감도는 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 결론 : 본 연구를 통해 양측상지기능 평가도구의 개발 및 연구가 필요하며, 이를 통해 양측상지기능 치료 효과를 보기 위한 평가도구로 활용될 수 있기를 기대해 본다.

Background: Postoperative pain after bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) is expected to be more severe than unilateral TKR. Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) is less effective than other methods of pain management especially immediately after an operation even though it is an easily controlled method for managing pain. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of femoral nerve blocks combined with IV PCA after bilateral TKR for postoperative pain control. Methods: The patients in group I (n = 20) were given only IV PCA with morphine and group II (n = 20) were given bilateral femoral nerve blocks with 12 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and epinephrine 1 : 400,000 before extubation followed by an IV PCA. Main outcome measures included numerical rating pain score, cumulative opioid consumption, hourly dose during each time interval, and side effects. Results: The pain score in group II was significantly lower than that in group I immediately after recovery of awareness and at 3, 6, 12 hours postoperatively. Cumulative opioid consumption was significantly decreased in group II during the first 48 hours postoperatively. The hourly dose in group II was also significantly lower than that in group I until 12 hours postoperatively. There was no difference in side effects between the groups. Conclusions: We concluded that bilateral femoral nerve blocks improve analgesia and decrease morphine use during IV PCA after bilateral TKR.

Objective : Successful coil embolization of anterior communicating (A-com) artery aneurysms requires good visualization and understanding of the entire H complex. Bilateral carotid angiography may optimize anatomical understanding and visualization of the H complex. We therefore assessed the efficacy of simultaneous bilateral internal carotid angiography during coil embolization for A-com artery aneurysms. Methods : Of the 153 patients with intracranial saccular aneurysms who underwent embolization between July 2008 and December 2009, 12 had A-com artery aneurysms and were embolized under bilateral carotid angiography. Patients were evaluated angiographically, immediately and 6 months (n=11) after embolization, using a 3-point scale (complete, residual neck, residual aneurysm). The safety, performance and efficacy of this approach were retrospectively evaluated. Results: In all patients, bilateral internal carotid artery angiography provided more detailed anatomical information and understanding around the A-com artery, and, in complex situations, it allowed for more effective coil embolization through bilateral routes to the A-com artery. Angiography immediately after embolization showed occlusion of 11 of the 12 (92%) aneurysms, with none of these 11 showing evidence of recanalization at 6 months. Conclusion : These findings indicate that simultaneous bilateral carotid angiography during coil embolization of selected complex A-com artery aneurysms provided improved anatomical understanding, and resulted in more effective and safer procedures than typical unilateral angiography.
