Idiopathic scoliosis is a complex three-dimensional deformity of the spine. There is two ways in treatment of scoliosis, normally. In order to prevent a progressive course of the disorder, conservative treatment is started in selected patients. And sometimes, operation is performed to severe patients. But, application standard is vague. So We reviewed the latest medical theses. English language articles in Medline database between 2003 and 2005. 8. 31. were reviewed. The searching words was Idiopathic scoliosis, conservative treatment, brace. exercise. We classified 27 articles. The results of this research demonstrate that conservative treatment is more effective than observation until operation.

In this paper, we introduce a conservative control approach using a full feedback map and suggest a switching control between the conservative and default control. For the conservative control, we use the coordinator which performs the conjunction operation of the full feedback map information of local supervisors. Since the switching control with the coordinator extends the ability of local supervisors in the decentralized supervisory control, we can solve the problem in case the coobservability condition can not be satisfied.

For the evaluation of safety margin of a nuclear power plant using a conservative methodology, the influence of applied assumptions such as initial conditions and boundary conditions needs to be assessed deliberately. Usually, a combination of the most conservative initial conditions is determined, and the safety margin for the transient is evaluated through the analysis for this conservative conditions. In existing conservative methodologies, a most-conservative condition is searched through the analyses for the maximum, minimum, and nominal values of the major parameters. In the present study, we investigates a new approach which can be applied to choose a most-conservative initial condition effectively when a best-estimate computer code and a conservative evaluation methodology are utilized for the evaluation of safety margin of transients. By constituting the band of various initial conditions using the random sampling of input parameters, the sensitivity study for various parameters are performed systematically. A method of sampling the value of control or operation parameters for a certain range is adopted by use of MOSAIQUE program, which enables to minimize the efforts for achieving the steady-state for various different conditions. A representative control parameter is identified, which governs the reactor coolant flow rate, pressurizer pressure, pressurizer level, and steam generator level, respectively. It is shown that an appropriate distribution of input parameter is obtained by adjusting the range and distribution of the control parameter.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the results of conservative treatment of osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT). This study would be helpful to determine the treatment methods for OLT patients. Materials and Methods: We have established 69 cases of osteochondral lesion of talus, from December 2004 to June 2006 in a period of 18 months. Symptoms were confirmed through survey and a medical examination by interviewing patients. Diagnosis was made through physical examination, simple radiography and MRI. AOFAS score of all the patients were measured. When the patients did not get improved with conservative treatment, surgical operation was done. Results: 27 out of the 69 patients were treated using conservative treatment. Initial AOFAS scored was $66.37{\pm}8.89$ points. After treatment, AOFAS scores had increased to $83.78{\pm}8.48$ points. In cases of surgery, AOFAS scores had increased from $64.17{\pm}13.43$ points preoperatively to $80.45{\pm}8.67$ points. Conclusion: 60% of conservative treatment was useless in treating OLT patients. Surgical operation is still needed to be performed. Therefore, treatment should be done with sufficient understanding of the results.

Purpose: We evaluated the level of pain and clinical presentation of calcific tendinitis after treatment with conservative and early arthroscopic operation. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 30 patients with calcific tendinitis with the minimum of 6 months of follow up period, treated from February 2002 to May 2008. We implemented Constant-Murley score to evaluate the pain of calcification and improvement of range of motion at the 2nd week, 12th week and 24th week with the patients who had treatment with steroid injection in 15 cases and operation in the other 15 cases. Results: Evaluating the level of pain using Constant-Murley score, we found that conservative treatment group had the scale of 3.2 before treatment and 13.6, 14.5 and 14.7 at 2nd, 12th, and 24th week, respectively since started treatment. The operation group, on the other hand, had the scale of 3.3 preoperatively and 10.2, 13.0, and 14.3 at 2nd, 12th and 24th week postoperatively. The range of motion in the conservative treatment group showed 14.3 on average before the treatment and 21.7, 31.3 and 35.7 at 2nd, 12th and 24th week after treatment. The operation group had 14.4 on average preoperatively, and 33.1, 35.8 and 36.4 at 2nd, 12th and 24th week postoperatively. The operation group had statistically significant improvement compared to the conservative group at the 2nd and 24th week, but showed no difference between the two groups at the final follow up. Conclusion: Early arthroscopic treatment of calcific tendinitis seems to be an excellent option that can increase the level of satisfaction of the patients and an efficient way of putting the patients back to their normal life promptly.

Lymphedema, regardless of etiology, is essentially incurable but different treatment approaches which serve to contain swelling exist. The objectives of treatment are to reduce swelling, restore shape, educate about the self-maintenance methods, and prevent inflammatory episodes, eg, recurrent cellulitis. The purpose of this report is to provide therapists and other medical staff with a general guideline through the example treatment procedure of two patients with lymphedema admitted to Samsung Medical Center. This study demonstrates the effects of the various treatments used and how they helped to achieve improvement in mobility and reduction in swelling of the lower limbs. The basic conservative treatments were sequential intermittent pneumatic pumps, elevation, and CDP (complex decongestive physiotherapy). The surgical procedures (Homan's operation) were carried out after maximal volume reduction through conservative programs. In these cases, we can see greater than 50% reduction in the lymphedema in those treated by conservative and surgical procedures. This presents a simple, reliable, variable method yielding satisfactory cosmetic and functional results for patients suffering from chronic both-leg lymphedema. Futhermore, I suggest that the outcomes are best when treatment is administered by a multidisciplinary team including a physiotherapist, surgeon, nurse, et al.

A patient with intravascular hemolysis due to residual shunt and right ventricular outflow track obstruction after total correction of TOF was presented. The patient was 29 years old female. She underwented VSD closure with dacron patch, infundibulectomy, pulmonic valvotomy and direct closure of PFO. 8 months after the operation, severe intravascular hemolysis and hemolytic anemia appeared. Conservative therapies were not effective, her general condition and laboratory finding got worse gradually. She underwent reoperation, the shunt was closed and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was corrected by pulmonary valvotomy, infudibulectomy and transannular patch. After operation, hemolysis disappeared dramatically. Severe hemolysis may induce renal failure and necessitate transfusion frequently. If hemolytic anemia is not corrected by conservative treatment, early reoperation is required.
