  • Wernicke korsakoff syndrome is caused by thiamine deficiency in the body. Thiamine not available in the body, is a substance to be taken from outside with foods. There are some conditions that reduce the metabolism of thiamine taken from the body and cause a vital risk. The most important factor is alcoholism. Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome produces both neurological and vestibular symptoms. At the same time, the damage of these symptoms to the patient psychology cannot be ignored. The aim of this study is to investigate the damage and mechanism of the syndrome in the vestibular system. In this study, we investigated vestibular symptoms of Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome due to thiamine deficiency, differences of vestibular system according to individuals and mechanism of damage caused by syndrome in vestibular system. Thiamine deficiency is caused by Wernicke Karsokoff syndrome with some external factors. This syndrome shows the most important effects of alcoholism. It causes neurological, vestibular and psychological symptoms. In this context, we can say that thiamine deficiency is a disease that causes damage in the vestibular system due to nystagmus formation and imbalance. The most important detail in the treatment stage is the detailed evaluation of symptoms associated with each other.

  • Large-amplitude vibration of overhead sign structures can cause unfavorable psychological responses in motorists, interfere with readability of the signs, and lead to fatigue cracking in the sign structures. Field experience in Texas suggests that an overhead sign structure can vibrate excessively when supported within the span of a highway bridge instead of at a bent. This study used finite element modeling to analyze the dynamic displacement response of three hypothetical sign structures subjected to truck-passage-induced vertical oscillations recorded for the girders from four actual bridges. The modeled sign bridge structures included several span lengths based on standard design practices in Texas and were mounted on precast concrete I-girder bridges. Results revealed that resonance with bridge girder vertical vibrations can amplify the dynamic displacement of sign structures, and a specific range of frequency ratios subject to undesirable amplification was identified. Based on these findings, it is suggested that this type of sign structure be located at a bridge bent if its vertical motion frequency is within the identified range of bridge structure excitation frequencies. Several alternatives are investigated for cases where this is not possible, including increasing sign structure stiffness, reducing sign mass, and installing mechanical dampers.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between chronic low grade inflammation theory, psoriasis, and herbal medicine. Methods : We reviewed recent studies on the relationship between chronic low-grade inflammation, psoriasis, and herbal medicine through Pubmed. Results : The pathological basis for psoriasis is the action of inflammatory mediators by the activation of the immune response, which can be a cause of various cardiovascular, metabolic and psychological symptoms of psoriasis patients, in addition to skin lesions. The herbal medicines improve these inflammatory conditions and improve local lesions through herbal medicine such as Qingdai, which have a strong inhibitory effect on IL-17,22 production. Conclusions : Herbal medicines used in psoriasis are thought to be effective not only for the improvement of local psoriasis lesions through anti-inflammatory effect but also for the improvement of systemic inflammation associated with chronic low grade inflammation.

  • The purposes of this study were to find the influence of wife's home management behavior pattern and husband's perception about it on family life satisfaction, and to find out variables which influence them. For theses reviewing literature and empirical research were conducted. The major results were as follows; 1) The couple's psychological variables (ie, degree of life level recognition, of resourcefulness recognition and of communication) were relatively high. The wife's home management behavior pattern was relatively morphogenesis and the husband's perception about wive's it was relatively morphogenesis. And the couple's degree of family life satisfaction were relatively high. 2) Influential variables on wife's home management behavior pattern were level of education, degree of resourcefulness recognition and of communication. And influential variables on husband's perception about vive's it was degree of communication. 3) Influential variables on wive's the degree of family life satisfaction were degree of life level recognition, of resourcefulness recognition and of communication. And influential variables on husband's it were level of education, job, degree of life level recognition, of resourcefulness recognition and of communication. 4) The wife's home management behavior pattern and husband's perception about wive's it were to predict the couple's degree of family life satisfaction. 5) In cause-effect pathway mode. level of education·job·degree of life level recognition·of resourcefulness recognition and of communication showed direct and indirect effect on family life satisfaction through wife's home management behavior pattern or husband's perception about wive's it.

  • We are exposed to the various external stimuli input from the environment, which cause emotional changes based on the characteristics of the stimuli. Unfortunately, there are noquantitative results on relationship between human sensibility and the characteristics of physiological signals. The objective of this study was to quantify EEG signals evoked by visual stimulation based on the assumption that the analysis of the variability on the characteristics of the EEG waveform may provide the significant information regarding changes in psychological states of the subject. Seven university students were participated in this study. The experiment was devised with eleven experimental conditions, which are control and ten different types of visual stimulation based on IAPS(International Affective Picture Systems). Seven subjects were used to obtain EEGs while introducing visual stimulation. Wavelet transformation was employed to analyze the EEG signals. Most Positive and negative emotional response were pairely compared. The results showed that the reconstructed signals at the decomposition level revealed the different energy value on the EEG signals. Also, general patterns of EEG signals in rest state compare with negative and positive stimulus were found. This study could be extended to estabish an algorithm which distinguishes psychophysiological states of the subjects exposed to the visual stimulation.

  • Cleidocranial dysplasia(CCD) is a rare syndrome usually caused by an autosomal dominant gene or no apparent genetic cause. The skull is large and short with marked bossing of the frontal bone. Closure on the fontanelles and sutures is delayed. The clavicle may be unilaterally or bilaterally aplastic. Oral manifestations include multiple impacted permanent teeth, prolonged retention of primary teeth and multiple supernumerary teeth. There are many difficulties in the early diagnosis of CCD because a majority of the craniofacial abnormalities becomes obvious only during adolescence. Late diagnosis produce occlusional & psychological problem. Therefore early detection and treatment of CCD can reduce the period and the extent of orthodontic and surgical interventions. We experienced CCD patient with multiple supernumerary teeth and will report it with the literature review.

  • The term "social marketing" was first introduced in 1971 to describe the use of marketing principles and techniques to advance a social cause, idea, or behavior. Social Marketing is a strategy for changing behavior. It utilizes concepts of market segmentation, consumer research, product concept development and testing, directed communication, facilitation, incentives, and exchange theory to maximize the target adopters' response. Social marketing requires knowledge of each target-adopter group, including its 1. social demographic characteristics, 2. psychological profile and 3. behavioral characteristics. To know the target adopters in these three related ways enables social marketer to make more accurate predictions. In addition to differentiating among and selecting target adopter groups, the social marketer will identify influence-holding groups, or influentials, who can affect a program's success. Great changes and opportunities exist to produce changes in the ways that individuals and groups think and behave and in meeting human needs. The balance of the scales of social change, we hope, will shift away from the use of force and violence to the use of persuasion and voluntary action. I trust that this dissertation will be useful highlighting the strategies and means of peaceful, planned social change designed to elevate the quality of life.

  • Purpose: This study examined the socio-demographic factors, the disaster related factors, the physical health related factors and the psychological factors of older adults exposed to natural disaster and these factors may possibly cause the occurrence of PTSD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed using the secondary data from the 3rd Disaster Victims Panel Survey (2012-2017). The data from 1,397 disaster victims were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. Results: Compared with the younger adult disaster victims, the elderly were more likely to have symptoms of PTSD (15.0% vs. 12.1%). Factors such as the number of years since being exposed to the disaster, anxiety, depression and social adjustment were significantly associated with occurrence of PTSD for both older and younger adults. Female gender was the additional risk factors for the older adults, while marital status, income, having witnessed another person's injury or death, and having lost a home were associated with the occurrence of PTSD. Conclusion: The elderly were more likely to develop PTSD as compared with younger adults. More targeted post-disaster mental health services to the elderly with the symptoms of depressive, anxiety and impaired social adjustments, should be provided to improve their mental health.

  • Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) is a neuropsychiatric condition that causes a transient alteration of consciousness and loss of self-control. PNES, which occur in vulnerable individuals who often have experienced trauma and are precipitated by overwhelming circumstances, are a body's expression of a distressed mind, a cry for help. PNES are misunderstood, mistreated, under-recognized, and underdiagnosed. The mind-body dichotomy, an artificial divide between physical and mental health and brain disorders into neurology and psychiatry, contributes to undue delays in the diagnosis and treatment of PNES. One of the major barriers in the effective diagnosis and treatment of PNES is the dissonance caused by different illness perceptions between patients and providers. While patients are bewildered by their experiences of disabling attacks beyond their control or comprehension, providers consider PNES trivial because they are not epileptic seizures and are caused by psychological stress. The belief that patients with PNES are feigning or controlling their symptoms leads to negative attitudes of healthcare providers, which in turn lead to a failure to provide the support and respect that patients with PNES so desperately need and deserve. A biopsychosocial perspective and better understanding of the neurobiology of PNES may help bridge this great divide between brain and behavior and improve our interaction with patients, thereby improving prognosis. Knowledge of dysregulated stress hormones, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and altered brain connectivity in PNES will better prepare providers to communicate with patients how intangible emotional stressors could cause tangible involuntary movements and altered awareness.
