Adenocarcinomas with micropapillary patterns are generally aggressive and show lymphotropism. Only a few reports on pulmonary adenocarcinoma with micropapillary patterns have described cytologic findings. A 70-year-old Korean woman was admitted to the hospital because of intermittent dry cough and chest pain. Cytology after bronchial washing showed neoplastic cells in small, angulated, cohesive clusters consisting of 3-20 cells without a fibrovascular core. The resected right middle lobe showed a tumor occupying almost the entire lobe. Histologically, about 90% of neoplastic cells proliferated with micro papillary morphology in the background of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. Cytologic smears of a bronchial washing showing tumor cells in small, cohesive clusters without a fibrovascular core may indicate an adenocarcinoma with micropapillary pattern.

Trichinellosis (trichinosis) is a parasitic infection caused by nematodes of the genus Trichinella. Pigs are the most common source of human infection. We describe a case of a 47-year-old woman presented with a wide range of intermittent symptoms including prolonged fever, dry cough, diarrhea, rash, myalgias and arthralgias. The patient was attended by physicians with various medical specialties such as dermatologists, rheumatologists and allergiologists, but they did not establish a certain diagnosis because of the gradual onset of symptoms, raising the suspicion of a systematic disease. After extensive work up, the diagnosis of trichinosis was established with femoral muscle biopsy compatible with inflammatory myopathy of parasitic etiology with trichinosis to be the predominant diagnosis. Despite the significant delay of diagnosis for almost three months, patient was treated successfully with no further complications. Trichinellosis is a food-borne treatable infection. Preventive measures include community education especially in zones where parasite prevalence is increased, improvement of farming and cooking techniques.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a rich source of edible oil most commonly it is used as a food product mainly in bakeries and also use as a common source of oil in daily kitchen needs. Due to the presence of some special phytochemicals like proteins, fibers, oil, minerals and antioxidants it is highly used for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. It is a good source of energy and act as an antiaging agent. Its seeds are used as Anti-helmintic, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and Hepatoprotective but its seed coat which is a byproduct of sesame and a cherished source of fibers is normally use for animal feedstuff. In Unani system of medicine it is used both as drug & diet (dawa wa ghida). In classical Unani literature it is indicated in various disorders like Asthma, Dry Cough, Gastritis (due to any drug, excessive use of alcohol), Dryness of Intestine, Dryness in throat, Renal Stone, Bleeding Piles, Amenorrhea, Retention of urine, Dysuria, Orchitis, Sexual Debility, Anorexia. The present review article, an attempt have been made to compile all the pharmacological and Pharmacognostical characters of Sesamum indicum with special reference to Unani literature.

Nowadays, COVID-19 infections are influencing our daily lives which have spread globally. The major symptoms' of COVID-19 are dry cough, sore throat, and fever which in turn to critical complications like multi organs failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, etc. Therefore, to hinder the spread of COVID-19, a Computerized Doughty Predictor Framework (CDPF) is developed to yield benefits in monitoring the progression of disease from Chest CT images which will reduce the mortality rates significantly. The proposed framework CDPF employs Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a feature extractor to extract the features from CT images. Subsequently, the extracted features are fed into the Adaptive Dragonfly Algorithm (ADA) to extract the most significant features which will smoothly drive the diagnosing of the COVID and Non-COVID cases with the support of Doughty Learners (DL). This paper uses the publicly available SARS-CoV-2 and Github COVID CT dataset which contains 2482 and 812 CT images with two class labels COVID⁺ and COVI^-. The performance of CDPF is evaluated against existing state of art approaches, which shows the superiority of CDPF with the diagnosis accuracy of about 99.76%.

본 연구는 직업적 음성사용자들의 음성증상 및 음성건강 관련 서비스 인지도를 알아보기 위해 실시되었다. 교사, 텔레마케터, 치료사들을 대상으로 음성증상의 유무 및 유형, 음성건강 관련 서비스 인지도를 알아본 결과 교사(91.8%), 텔레마케터(97.9%), 치료사(86%)들은 한 가지 이상의 음성증상을 보고하였다. 증상 유형은 '열감, 마름, 마른기침, 통증, 가래생김, 따끔거림, 쉼, 목소리 갈라짐, 부어오름'의 9가지로 분류되었고, 세 집단 모두에서 '마름' 증상이 가장 많았다. 교사의 85.7%, 텔레마케터의 87.8%, 치료사의 66%는 음성사용 관련 전문가의 도움을 받은 경험이 없었으며, '음성언어치료사'와 '언어치료사' 모두를 아는 경우는 각각 19.6%, 19.9%, 72%였다. 음성의 효율적 사용법에 대해 교사의 36.8%, 텔레마케터의 43.6%가 잘 알지 못한다고 하였으며, 교사의 45.3%, 텔레마케터의 43.6%, 치료사의 28%는 음성전문가의 도움이 필요하다고 답했다. 조사 결과, 직업적 음성사용자들의 상당수가 음성증상을 경험하지만 음성건강 관련 전문적 서비스에 대한 인지도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose : While there have been growing concerns about the effects of Asian dusts on health, there are few studies for relationship between Asian dusts and health outcome. This study was designed to examine the perceived symptoms and behavior change of children during the Asian Dust events. Methods : We surveyed 459 students at an elementary school in Seoul, Korea from November 20th to 27th 2002. Children with parents were asked to return the completed questionnaires within a week. The questionnaires included the sociodemographic factor, previous respiratory disease, and perceived symptom, hospital visits and behavior change during the Asian dusts. Results : The majority of children reported that they restrained going out and outdoor recreational activity during the Asian dusts. The rate of children who worn the mask was 49% and 47% in second grade and fifth grade, respectively. Regarding the perceived symptom during the Asian dusts, the children in 2nd were more likely to have symptom than 5th and there were significant difference between two groups in cough, asthma symptom, dry cough, phlegm and medication for allergy or asthma symptom. In addition, children who had previous disease were more likely to change behavior in order to prevent the effects of Asian dusts. Conclusions : This study suggested that the younger children and children who had past respiratory disease were susceptible to the effect of Asian dusts. There is a need for providing public information and health education to prevent the impact of Asian dusts on health.

폐장은 신장세포암의 흔한 전이 장기 중 하나이지만 기관지내 전이는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 신장세포암이 기관지내로 전이한 환자를 수술하였기에 보고한다. 8년전 신장세포암으로 좌측 신장 적출술을 받은 63세 남자가 반복적인 기침을 주소로 내원하였다. 흉부 컴퓨터 단층촬영과 기관지 내시경 검사에서 좌하엽 기관지로부터 이차 기관 분기부까지 자라는 폴립모양의 기관지내 종양이 발견되었고 생검 결과는 만성 염증 소견과 함께 괴사성 조직으로 진단되었다. 수술 중 종괴의 냉동 절편 조직검사에서 전이성 신장세포암으로 확인되었고 상부의 좌하엽 기관지의 점막 침윤이 없어서 좌하엽 절제술과 림프절 청소술을 시행하였다. 치종 병리학적 검사에서도 전이성 신장세포암으로 확진되었고 림프절 전이는 없었다. 환자는 수술 후 10일째 특별한 합병증이 없이 퇴원하였다.
