As body postures on bed affects various sleep related diseases, it is considered as important information when monitoring sleeping in daily life. Though there have already been a few approaches to monitor body postures on bed conventionally, the development for simple and unconstrained methods is still needed to realize the long-term daily monitoring. Focusing on the fact that ballistocardiogram changes depending on the body postures on bed, we developed a novel method to estimate body posturesusing extremely simple, film-type ballistocardiogram sensor which is based on polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) film. With 10 subjects, we performed two experiments. One was for an estimation test to show that body postures on bed can be estimated by ballistocardiogram, and the other was for a reproducibility test to present the feasibility of ballistocardiogram based body postures monitoring. To estimate body postures on bed, we made an individual template set of body postures by designating one ballistocardiogram (BCG) sample as a template in each postures. Then, we calculated Pearson's correlation coefficients between a sample and each templates and estimated the body posture of the sample by choosing a posture which corresponds to the most significant correlation coefficients. As a result, we estimated body postures on bed with 99.2% accuracy in average and found that the estimation using ballistocardiogram is reproducible.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious and lethal pathogen that poses a threat to the global pork industry. The World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) has placed strict surveillance measures for ASFV. The possibility of long-term survival of ASFV in raw meat or undercooked pork has been reported. Accordingly, the problem of secondary infection in food waste from households or waste disposal facilities has emerged, raising the need for ASFV monitoring of food waste. However, most of the previously reported ASFV gene detection methods are focused on clinical monitoring of pigs. There are very few cases in which their application in waste has been verified. Since ASFV diagnosis requires rapid monitoring and immediate action, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) may be suitable, but this requires conformity assessment for LAMP to be used as a diagnostic technique. In this study, six LAMP methods were evaluated, and two methods (kit and manual) were recommended for use in diagnosing ASFV in food waste.

본 연구에서는 주기적인 심장 박동과 호흡으로 인해 발생하는 인체의 미세한 변위를 기반으로 심폐활동을 모니터링 하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 시스템은 에어쿠션과 센싱 하드웨어 및 신호처리 알고리즘으로 구성되어 있다. 에어쿠션은 피부의 표면에 센서의 부착없이 무구속적으로 심박과 호흡을 측정하는데 사용되며 에어쿠션 위에 피험자가 앉았을 때 쿠션내부에 작은 압력변화를 일으킨다. 에어쿠션 내부의 미세한 압력변화는 압력센서에 의해 전기적인 신호로 변환되고 아날로그 하드웨어에 의해 증폭되고 필터링 되어 출력된다. 압력센서에서 발생한 신호는 주파수 영역필터에 의해 심박과 호흡으로 분리되어 추출된다. 에어쿠션의 계측 성능을 평가하기 위해 기존의 계측방법인 심전도와 호흡신호를 동시에 측정 후 비교하였다. 에어쿠션을 이용한 호흡 및 심박 검출률의 평균 민감도는 각각 98.67%, 99.24% 이다. 이 결과를 통해 에어쿠션을 이용한 심폐 활동 측정 방법은 설치 과정이 간단하고 쉬우며 일상생활에서 무구속적으로 호흡 및 심박을 모니터링 하는데 사용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of intra-operative neurological monitoring (INM) is to minimize surgically induced nerve damage, sensory nerves and motor neurons without affecting the operations to proceed during surgery such as evoked potentials (EP), electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial doppler (TCD), etc. During the course of checking a patient's condition, surveillance of ambulatory patients is a very different thing to check if the test is done under general anesthesia. INM can be possible or impossible depending on the type of drugs used and their concentrations because the monitoring is performed under anesthesia. Therefore, it is emphasized on the necessity of reviewing anesthesia which influences on INM.

We have developed a patient monitoring system including module-based bedside monitors, interbed network, central stations, clinical workstations, and DB servers. A bedside monitor with a color LCD can accommodate up to 3 module cases and 21 different modules. Six different physiological parameters of ECG, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, body temperature, and arterial pulse oximetry with plethysmoyaph are provided as parameter modules. In a single bedside monitor, modules and a module controller communicate with IMbps data rate through an intrabed network based on RS-485 and HDU protocol. At the same time, it communicates with other bedside monitors and central stations through interbed network based on 1 OMbps Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol. Central stations using 20" color CRT monitors can be connected with many bedside monitors and they display 18 channels of waveforms simultaneously. Clinical workstations are used mainly for the review of patient datE In order to accommodate more advanced data management capabilities such as 24-hour full disclosure, we have developed a relational database server dedicated to the patient monitoring system. Software for bedside monitor, central station, and clinical workstation fully utilizes graphical user interface techniques and all functions are controlled by a rotate/push button on the bedside monitor arid a mouse on the central station and clinical workstation. The entire system satisfies the requirements of AAMI and ANSI standards in terms of electrical safety and performances.nces.

홀터 심전계는 일반 심전계와 달리 활동중의 심전도를 기록하므로서 복잡한 심장질환을 효과적으로 모니터링할 수 있으나 24시간 동안의 심전도를 수집하여 진단하기 때문에 급작스런 심장질환에 대해서는 대처할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 홀터 심전계와 같은 이동형 심전도 단말기에 900Mhz 대역을 사용하는 부선 데이터 통신망 인터페이스를 첨가하여 심장 이상으로 인한 급사위험이 있는 환자를 감시${\cdot}$관리할 수 있는 보행형 감시 시스템 모델을 제안하고 이동형 심전도 단말기와 담당 의사를 위한 휴대형 단말기를 구현함으로써 무선 데이터 통신망을 이용한 보행형 감시 시스템이 구현될 수 있음을 검증하였다.

As information technologies are developing, the improvement of the quality of life becomes worldwide issues. Especially, to improve the quality of life of a patient suffering intermittent diseases, in addition to the some portable equipments for measuring, analyzing, and notifying the status of the patients, methods of communication for seamless transmission of the measured data over to the remote site, such as an emergency center or a hospital, are required. In this paper, we address a seamless transmission of patient monitoring data such as ECG from a moving patient to a remote site, wherever the patient may be. We divide the whole environments into two wireless communication environments: an indoor one based on WLAN and an outdoor one based on CDMA cellular network in which the patient is assumed to move anywhere. We develop algorithms, implement them on a PDA-based hardware platform, and show some of the results for handover between the two environments in addition to the data transmission for each of the two environments.
