  • Laryngeal hemangioma occurs mostly in infantile patients and infantile hemangiomas can be frequently seen in the subglottic area. So, respiratory distress is a main symptom in this entity. But adult hemangiomas are rare and can be seen in different locations such as in epiglottis, aryepiglottic fold, arytenoids and false and true vocal folds. Authors experienced a case of mixed hemangioma at the right aryepiglottic fold in a 42 years-old-man who was presented with snoring, throat foreign body sense for 3 months. So, we report this case with a review of the literature.

  • In this study, the trunks of adult females were classified into several kinds of somatotypes and their distribution according to the age groups was shown. The subjects were 343 females of 18 to 49 year-old. The results were as follows: 1. The trunk somatotypes were classified into 5 types. From factor scores and anthropometric values according to each somatotype, it was shown that the somatotype was classified by the relation between the variables of vertical size and those of horizontal size. 2, As the characteristic of the classified somatotype was represented by the scale and its lateral silhouette was suggested, the characteristic of the classified somatotype was Quickly undertook. 3. By suggesting the canonical discriminant function with the unstardardized canonical coefficient, individual trunk somatotype could be discriminated from the measured anthropometric data without modifying the data. 4. From the frequency distribution of the somatotypes in each age group, the dominant somatotype of each age group was shown differently.

  • Intussusception after colonoscopy is an unusual complication. A MEDLINE search revealed only 7 reported cases. We present a report of a 28-year-old man who developed abdominal pain several hours after routine colonoscopy and in whom computed tomography (CT) revealed colocolic intussusception. We postulate that this condition is iatrogenic and induced by suctioning of gas on withdrawal of the colonoscope. A common observation among the reported cases was abdominal pain several hours after colonoscopy and right-sided intussusception. All cases had colonoscopy reaching the right side of the colon. Treatment for adult intussusception remains controversial with regard to reduction versus resection, especially given the high association with a pathological cause and malignancy. Among the 8 reported cases, only the current case did not require surgery. A combination of benign colonoscopy, CT, and the clinical picture should provide sufficient information to initially choose a more conservative treatment approach.

  • Metastasis of rhabdomysarcoma to the breast is a very rare manifestation in adult males. Herein, we report a case of metastasis from embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the left hypothenar muscle that presented as a breast mass in a 38-year-old man, who four months later expired because of multiple bone metastases related to pancytopenia. We describe the various imaging findings, including mammograms, ultrasonography, computerized tomography (CT), positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of this rare disease. The various imaging findings of this lesion could be helpful for future diagnosis of male breast lesions.

  • We describe the case of a 22-year-old female complaining of ophthalmoplegia, which deteriorated with seizure. Leigh syndrome (LS) was diagnosed by identifying the m.9176T>C mutation. She improved with vitamin cocktail therapy plus intravenous methylprednisolone, and had an excellent prognosis. This was the first case of an adult patient with LS presenting with the m.9176T>C mutation and reporting cortical symptoms, which in this case comprised cortical vision loss, and cortical, basal ganglia, and brainstem signal changes on magnetic resonance imaging.

  • Epiphyseal dislocations and fractures frequently occur in children and adolescents. However, these injuries seldom involve the distal femur, and bilateral cases are even rarer. We present an unusual case of bilateral epiphyseal detachment of the femur in a 21-year-old man who was involved in a traffic accident. Open reduction and fixation surgery were performed 5 days after the incident. The patient experienced favorable progress, with consolidation occurring at 3 months. No lower limb length discrepancies were observed at the 20-month follow-up. In summary, bilateral distal femoral epiphyseal detachment is an uncommon condition that can be effectively treated through surgical intervention.

  • 컴퓨터와 인터넷 사용의 급속한 확산에 따라 다양한 교육용 웹기반 코스웨어의 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 장년 성인학습자를 위한 웹기반 코스웨어의 개발은 아직 미흡한 편이다. 기존의 웹기반 코스웨어는 주로 젊은 층을 대상으로 설계되어 있어 장년 성인들이 사용하기에 적당하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 장년의 성인들의 심리적, 사회적, 신체적 특성을 분석하고 이들을 위한 웹기반 코스웨어의 설계 방안을 제시한다. 그리고 제안한 설계 방안을 엑셀과목의 웹기반 코스웨어에 적용하고 그 결과를 설문조사를 통해 분석하였다.

  • The aim of this study was to diagnose the fertility of a female western lowland gorilla kept in Seoul Zoo, in accordance with age by analyzing the fecal sex hormone metabolites. The study was conducted in two period of times, when the animal was from 35 to 37 years old and when the animal was from 40 to 42 years old. Non-invasive method by using fecal samples was used for safe and efficient fertility diagnosis. We collected the feces from the enclosure at least three times a week. Then $17{\beta}$-estradiol and progesterone, which are fecal sex hormone metabolites, were measured by time-resolved fluoro-immunoassay to compare the menstruation cycle and the annual reproductive cycle. For the duration of the primary study (when the animal was 35~37 years old), irregular menstruation and high concentrations of estradiol and progesterone were observed. However, menstruation was hardly observed and the concentrations of both hormones were statistically very low in the period of secondary study (when the animal was 40~42 years old). This observed phenomenon in our study was very comparable to menopause in adult women; therefore, it was confirmed that our female gorilla has reached menopause because of the natural aging, as they become older.

  • 본 연구는 보육기관에 다니는 유아와 어머니를 대상으로 성인애착 유형과 유아의사소통 유형간의 관계를 알아보고, 이를 통해 가족 내에서 이루어지는 언어의 중요성을 인식하고 부모교육의 제반 정보를 제공하고 유아의 의사소통 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 기초 자료를 제공하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 이러한 목적을 토대로 어머니의 성인애착 유형과 유아의 의사소통유형 과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 다음과 같은 연구문제를 설정 하였다. 1. 어머니의 성인애착유형과 유아의 의사소통능력은 어떠한 관계가 있는가? 2. 어머니의 성인애착유형이 유아의 의사소통능력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가? 연구대상은 대전광역시 어린이집에 다니고 있는 만3-5세 유아와 그들의 어머니들이다. 이들에게 성인애착측정도구와 유아 의사소통유형 도구를 사용하였다. 연구결과 성인애착유형과 유아의 의사소통유형과는 상관관계가 나타나지는 않았으나 하위요인별 분석에서는 의존성과 부정적 의사소통유형, 불안성과 긍정적 의사소통유형은 정적상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 상관관계분석을 토대로 중다회귀분석한 결과 어머니의 성인애착 유형중 불안성이 유아의 의사소통 능력을 예측할 수 있는 주요변인임을 알 수 있었다.
