Melanoma of the scalp is rare condition and seems to be to have a poor prognosis than melanoma of other portion of the body. We had 2 patients suffering from malignant melanoma of scalp. Their charts were reviewed for epidemiologic data, location, Breslow thickness, lymph node involvement and outcome. The therapeutic treatment was wide excision and skin grafting or free flap reconstruction. The early recognition of all the nevi at scalp and proper follow-up of the lesion are key stones to eradicating the changing mole and to preventing this thread to life.

Cranial implant removal is recommended if implants become exposed owing to scalp necrosis after cranioplasty. However, it carries the risk of extensive bleeding, and the resultant cranial defects can cause both aesthetic and functional problems. We present a case of a scalp defect exposing a cranial prosthetic implant that was reconstructed with a local flap and salvaged using an indwelling antibiotic irrigation system. A 73-year-old man presented with scalp necrosis after undergoing cranioplasty due to intracranial hemorrhage. The cranial implant was exposed through the scalp defect. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was detected in the culture from the open wound. After debridement of the necrotic tissue and burring of the superficial layer of the implant, a transposition flap was used to cover the defect and an indwelling antibiotic irrigation system was installed. Continuous irrigation with vancomycin was conducted for 5 days, and intravenous vancomycin was continued for 4 weeks. The flap was in good condition at 4 months postoperatively, with no infection. The convex contour of the scalp was well maintained. The patient's neurological status was stable. Exposed cranial implants can be salvaged with continuous antibiotic irrigation as an alternative to implant removal; thus, the risk of bleeding and possible disfigurement may be avoided.

Scalp defect management is complicated secondary to reduced laxity in the scalp and forehead area. For reconstruction of larger defects with exposed bone and loss of the periosteal layer, free flap reconstruction is one option for single-stage surgery, although the procedure is lengthy and includes the possibility of flap loss. We successfully performed a single-stage reconstruction of a large scalp defect using a combination of artificial dermis, split-thickness skin graft, and full-thickness skin graft following wide excision of a cutaneous angiosarcoma, and present our method as one option for the treatment of large oncologic surgical defects in patients who are poor candidates for free flap surgery.

Objectives : This study was to report the effect of catgut-embedding therapy on scalp acupoints in stroke patients with hemiparesis. Methods : Three stroke patients with hemiparesis were treated by catgut -embedding therapy on scalp acupoints twice a week. After three weeks, the score of manual muscle test (MMT) and modified Barthel index (MBI) were improved compared with the first examination. Results and Conclusions : After the treatment, MMT and MBI score improved in all three patients. These results showed that catgut-embedding therapy on scalp acupoints is possible to be effective for treating hemiparesis in stroke patients, and further studies should be conducted to provide more valuable information.

Objectives: This study presents two cases of patients with post-stroke global aphasia who were treated with scalp acupuncture with electrical stimulation.Method: The two patients were treated by scalp acupuncture with electrical stimulation six times a week. The degree of aphasia was measured via the Korean version of the western aphasia battery (K-WAB).Results: After treatment, aphasia was improved in both cases (autism-spectrum quotient [AQ] scores increased from 13.7 to 37.1 and from 4.1 to 18.4 in the two patients).Conclusion: Based on the results of these two cases, scalp acupuncture could be effective in treating post-stroke global aphasia.

Full-thickness scalp burns secondary to hair coloring are rare; however, such defects can be large and complex reconstruction of hair-bearing tissue may be necessary. Many skin-stretching devices that use gradual traction have been applied to take advantage of the viscoelastic properties of the skin. A 21-year-old female patient was seen with a burn defect on her occipital scalp leading to exposed subcutaneous tissue after chemical application of hair coloring in a salon. The dimensions of the wound were $10cm{\times}5cm$, and a skin graft or flap would have been necessary to close the defect. Two long transfixing K-wires (1.4 mm) and paired 3-wire threads (23 gauge), which are readily available in most hospitals, were applied over a period of 12 days for trichophytic closure of the defect. The remaining scalp scars after primary trichophytic closure with this skin-stretching method were refined with hair follicle transplantation. This skin-stretching method is simple to apply and valuable for helping to close problematic areas of skin shortage that would otherwise require more complicated procedures. This case shows a relatively unknown complication of hair coloring and its treatment.

Acupuncture has been clinically used to treat patients suffering from eye disease. It has been used in efforts to help preserve vision for those with a wide range of eye conditions including glaucoma and intraocular hypertension. High intraocular pressure (IOP) is usually associated with glaucoma and conventional treatment is focused on lowering IOP. Controlling this risk factor should help hasten the onset of glaucoma for those patents that are suspect or borderline candidates for glaucoma. In review of the limited scientific research there are not many studies that support conclusive evidence for the use of acupuncture on eye diseases and particularly glaucoma and ocular hypertension. For the information that does exist, diverse results from various interventions make it difficult to draw clear conclusions. The existing studies use different acupoints, techniques, frequencies, and durations. Individual treatment strategies according to the practitioner's subjective experience, patient condition, and the use of other complimentary and natural strategies is ideal for taking a more dynamic and wholistic approach to getting results. Until more pragmatic research models are funded and implemented, case reports can offer good examples of experiential and objective outcomes. This case report presents a 61 year old healthy female patient diagnosed with open-angle borderline glaucoma with elevated IOP. The patients IOP was successfully reduced with 12 treatments over three months using scalp electro-acupuncture and distal Master Tung points.

Objectives: This study is a clinical report of a patient with ADHD and learning disorders who is being treated with hyperbaric oxygen, scalp acupuncture, cognitive enhancement therapy and speech-language therapy. Methods: The BASA-R, BASA-M and REVT tests were used for the diagnosis of learning disorders. For the treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, scalp acupuncture, cognitive enhancement therapy and speech-language therapy were all being used. The Raven's matrix tests were compared for between before and after the abovementioned therapies. Results: After the treatment, Raven's matrix test grade improved from 4 to 5. The improvement of the patient's concentration, communication, motion, confidence, and sleep conditions were observed. Conclusions: These therapies including the hyperbaric oxygen therapy are efficient for the treatment of ADHD and learning disorders.

본 연구에서는 655 nm에서 저출력 레이저와 625 ± 5 nm와 850 ± 10 nm에서 파장을 방출하는 LED를 이용한 복합 광선 요법이 탈모 및 두피에 나타나는 효능을 조사하고자 하였다. 이번 연구에는 총 33 명의 시험대상자가 등록되었다. 각 시험대상자는 Low-level laser therapy (LLLT)와 light-emitting diode (LED) 기기를 매일 10 min 씩 12 주간 두피와 모발에 사용했다. LLLT와 LED 기기를 사용한 지 12 주 후, 두피의 붉은기, 탄력, 수분 함량에서 상당한 개선이 있었으며, 모발의 윤기와 인장 강도, 탈락 모발 수가 개선되었다. 시험대상자가 시험 기기를 사용하는 기간 동안 특별한 피부 이상반응에 대한 보고는 없었다. LLLT와 LED를 이용한 복합 광선 요법은 탈모와 두피 상태 개선에 효과적인 요법임이 입증되었다.

본 연구에서는 20대와 30대를 대상으로 성별, 직업별, 모발의 굵기 등 다양한 탈모의 원인들을 통한 자가인식의 정도를 파악하고 이에 따른 두피관리 행위의 실태를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 자료는 부산 경남지역에 거주하는 20대와 30대 262명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS version 12.0을 이용하였다. 연구문제와 관련하여 빈도, 백분율, ${\chi}^2$검정 등을 적용하였다. 이상의 연구 분석 결과로 탈모에 관한 자가인식이 두피관리의 행위요인으로 귀결시킴으로써 연구대상자의 행위정도를 가름할 수 있었다. 이는 20대와 30대에서도 탈모에 관한 자가인식이 높을 수록 두피관리행위 또한 잘 실천하고 있다는 사실을 반영하는 것으로 탈모에 관한 자가인식은 두피관리와 밀접한 관계임을 알 수 있었다.
