Shigella infection usually produces gastrointestinal symptoms but rarely causes urinary tract infection. A 7-year-old girl was admitted for fever, chills, right flank pain, and dysuria. She had no vomiting or diarrhea. There was mild tenderness in her right lower abdomen, and right CVA tenderness was also noted. Acute pyelonephritis was diagnosed by abdominal CT. She showed improvement with intravenous administration of antibiotics. The first urine culture grew $1{\times}10^5$ CFU/mL Shigella dysenteri. Although urinary tract infections due to Shigella species are extremely rare, Shigella species should be considered as a possible cause of pediatric urinary tract infection. We report the first case of urinary tract infection caused by S. dysenteri, which presented as acute pyelonephritis without gastrointestinal symptoms in a child.

Objective: This study is designed to examine how an application of a kinesio taping to the foot drop of a hemiplegic patient affects the functional recovery of a gait. Method: The patient was a man with left hemiplegia of about 11 months' duration. a single subject design (ABAB design) was used to investigate the timing difference at a stance phase between an unaffected side and an affected side in the gait ability of the hemiplegic patient by using the kinesio taping. The study was divided into four phase: an initial base-line, an experimental, a second base-line, and second experimental phase. Result: The timing difference at a stance phase between an unaffected side and an affected side in the gait was decreased in the case of the affected side by following the result of applying the kinesio taping to a lower extremity. Conclusion: The kinesio taping applied to the foot drop of a hemiplegic patient affects the improvement of the gait ability.

In this study, we fabricated and characterized a nanostructured surface based on a plastic injection molding with a local mold heating (LMH) system. A metal mold core with a closed packed nano convex array (CVA) was achieved by integrated engineering procedures: (1) master template fabrication by anodic aluminum oxidation (AAO), (2) nickel electroforming (NE) process, and (3) post-processing by precision machining. The nickel mold core was utilized to replicate a surface with a closed packed nano concave-array (CCA) based on injection molding using cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) as a plastic material. In particular, an LMH system was introduced to enhance transcription quality of the nano structures by delaying solidification of molten polymer near the surface of the mold core.

Observing after enforcing the medication and the acupuncture theraphy on the CVA patient sick with the cerebral embolus by organic pathology of the heart and whose desease was from heat symptoms caused by exessive pathogenic factors of which caused from affection due to exogeneous factors, we obtained the results as follows; 1. Serious condition could be relieved by removing acute symptoms according to the principle of the 'In emergency causes treat the acute symptoms first, when these being relieved treat it's fundament cause'. 2. The lesion could be disable for which the traditional medication theraphy through the differentiation of symptoms-complexes had removed the symptoms caused by organic pathology of heart. 3. The acupuncture stimulation through the differentiation of symptoms seemed to influence electric conduction system. Through this case, If we objectify the diagnosis and the medical treatment, the part of the curing diseases can progress more effectively.

This paper presents a portfolio model for a long-term power generation mix problem. The proposed portfolio model evaluates generation mix by considering the tradeoffs between the expected cost for power generation and its variability. Unlike conventional portfolio models measuring variance, we introduce Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) in designing the variability with aims to considering events that are enormously expensive but are rare such as nuclear power plant accidents. Further, we consider uncertainties associated with future electricity demand, fuel prices and their correlations, and capital costs for power plant investments. To obtain an objective generation by each energy source, we employ the sample average approximation method that approximates the stochastic objective function by taking the average of large sample values so that provides asymptotic convergence of optimal solutions. In addition, the method includes Monte Carlo simulation techniques in generating random samples from multivariate distributions. Applications of the proposed model and method are demonstrated through a case study of an electricity industry with nuclear, coal, oil (OCGT), and LNG (CCGT) in South Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide the basic data to decrease the stress of the family caregivers. Methods: The questionnaire was administrated to the family caregivers of 156 patients with stroke who consented to be interviewed. Among 156 caregivers, we analyzed 120 caregivers. We evaluated on the stress of the family caregivers. Results: First, the general characteristics of patient with CVA were high at 82.55% in male, 55.83% in infarction, 53.33% in the left hemiplegia, 47.50% in sixties, 80.83% in 1 recurrence rate, 27.50% in 1-2 years of disease period. Second, the general characteristics of family caregivers were high in above sixties, female in gender, existence in religion, married in marital status, high school in educational level, below 1 million-won in monthly income, spouse in relationship with patient, below 1 years in total caring period. Third, it showed that stress of family caregivers above 3.0 score has 8 items. Forth, the patient's characteristic that have the influence on the stress was significant in the period of disease(p<0.05). Finally, the characteristics of family caregivers that have the influence on the stress were the monthly income, caring period(p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings indicated that the stress of the family caregivers was correlated with the time in hospital, the income and nursing period.
