본 연구에서는 MEDLINE에 수록된 논문의 암 관련 우울증 문헌을 대상으로 MeSH(Medical Subject Headings) 키워드를 이용하여 1992년부터 2011년까지 20년간의 연구 동향을 분석하였다. 암과 우울증에 해당하는 MeSH 키워드를 주제로 다룬 논문 3,389편과 50,778개의 키워드를 대상으로 주요 학술지 및 암 발병 위치와 우울증 치료요법을 분석하였다. 암 관련 우울증 논문의 암 발병 위치별 빈도는 유방암이 799편으로 가장 높았으며, 폐암, 전립선암, 뇌종양, 두경부암이 뒤를 이었다. 또한 우울증 치료 요법별 빈도는 비약물치료가 552편으로 약물치료 400편보다 높게 나타났으며 비약물치료는 크게 상담치료와 상담 외 치료에 대한 키워드로 구분되었고, 약물치료는 치료 요법명과 약명으로 다시 구분되었다.

As the recurrence and mortality rates of bladder cancer are high, research is needed to find suitable biomarkers for early detection, evaluation of prognosis, and surveillance of drug responses. We performed a computerized search of the Medline/PubMed databases with the key words bladder cancer, biomarker, early detection, prognosis and drug response. Several markers were identified at DNA, RNA and protein levels with different sensitivities and specificities. Only a few of the potential bladder cancer biomarkers have been approved for clinical use. Efforts now should be concentrated on finding a panel of markers with acceptable sensitivity and specificity for early detection of bladder cancer.

Background: Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of preventable death across the world today and the smoking rates among men in the Arab world are amongst the highest in the world. Smoking of dokha, a traditional Arab tobacco is common in some of the Middle East countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Iran. This review focuses on the prevalence, pattern and health effects of dokha use in the Middle East. For this purpose an electronic search was performed in the following databases and websites: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Proquest and Google scholar up to December 2012. The search strategy was based on Internet search for the synonyms of dohka or midwakh. From the results of the review it emerged that younger people are the most common users of dokha. Hence effective outreach health education programs, targeting adolescents, especially school students before they take up the habit of smoking, may thus curb the emergence of the problem.

Objective: Jugular foramen schwannomas are uncommon pathological conditions. This article is constituted for screening these tumors in a wide perspective. Materials: One-hundred-and-ninty-nine patients published in 19 articles between 1984 to 2007 years was collected from Medline/Index Medicus. Results: The series consist of 83 male and 98 female. The mean age of 199 operated patients was 40.4 years. The lesion located on the right side in 32 patients and on the left side in 60 patients. The most common presenting clinical symptoms were hearing loss, tinnitus, disphagia, ataxia, and hoarseness. Complete tumor removal was achieved in 159 patients. In fourteen patients tumor reappeared unexpectedly. The tumor was thought to originate from the glossopharyngeal nerve in forty seven cases; vagal nerve in twenty six cases; and cranial accessory nerve in eleven cases. The most common postoperative complications were lower cranial nerve palsy and facial nerve palsy. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage, meningitis, aspiration pneumonia and mastoiditis were seen as other complications. Conclusion: This review shows that jugular foramen schwannomas still have prominently high morbidity and those complications caused by postoperative lower cranial nerve injury are life threat.

The aims of this study are to conduct meta-analysis for obtaining pooled estimates of the utility weight for stroke and to explore the study design characteristics that determine the utility weight for stroke. Medline (Pubmed), CEA Registry (Tufts Medical Center), and KERIS (Korea Education & Research Information Service) were searched to find out the literature that reported quality of life with stroke. Patient characteristics, utility weights and standard errors were extracted and stratified by severity, study method, respondent and country. All estimates were measured on a 0 to 1 scale with 0 representing the death and 1 representing the perfect health. The pooled estimates of the utility weight were 0.627 for total stroke, 0.756 for mild stroke, 0.631 for moderate stroke, and 0.389 for severe stroke (p=0.0001). Non-patients showed significantly lower utility weights than patients for severe (p=0.0122) stroke.

Recent development of dental implantology has taken an interest in the bone graft procedure. This is a review of literature, published from 1994 to November 1999. This study is provided by MEDLINE search. In this study, 718 patients received 829 graft with placing 2,677 endosseous implants. In mandible, nonvascularized or vascularized block bone grafts provided better results(success rate 95.2%) than particulate grafts(83.6%). But in maxilla, particulate grafts provided better results(93.7%, 86.2%) and more cases especially in sinus elevation. There were many cases using autogenous bone graft and revealed good results, but allogenic or alloplastic bone graft materials also were used by many surgeons.

섬유근통 증후군은 만성 전신 통증을 나타내며 피곤, 두통, 우울증, 수면장애 등을 동반하는 질환이다. 주로 30-50대의 여성에게서 많이 나타나며 미국에서 2-4%, 한국에서 2%의 발병률을 보이고 있다. 정확한 원인과 기전이 밝혀져 있지 않아서 진단과 치료에 많은 논란과 어려움이 있다. 현재는 증상치료에 목표를 두고 삼환계항우울약을 많이 사용하고 있으나 심각한 부작용의 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제 때문에 최근에는 selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) 또는 serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI)를 빈번히 사용하고 있다. 본 연구는 SNRI의 하나인 milnacipran의 섬유근통 증후군 치료에 대한 효능 및 안정성을 알아보기 위해, MEDLINE에 등재된 논문을 기한없이 milnacipran과 fibromyalgia로 검색하여 무작위 배정 및 이중맹검 임상연구자료들을 선별하였다. 선별된 6개의 임상연구 결과, milnacipran를 사용했을 때 일관된 효능성과 안정성이 관찰되었고 섬유근통증후군 치료와 그에 수반되는 여러증상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review and identify the meaning and components of the concept, Frailty. Method: We conducted literature review of studies that concluded the word of 'frail' or 'frailty between 1980 and 2008, and used MEDLINE, CINAHL database to select the articles. Results: Frailty is defined as a concept with multidomains, which are physical, cognitive, psychological, social. Critical characteristics of Frailty include multidominal deficiency, combined accumulation, diminished ability to keep up the independence of daily living, states beyond one's reserve capacity, dynamic relativity, proximity to adverse health outcome, aggregated symptoms. Frailty is caused by decreased physical activity, loss of sensory function, Chronic symptoms or signs, relationship with Caregiver, social isolation. Moreover, Frail elderly is at risk of falls and institutionalization. Conclusion: Frailty is very useful concept, because it has the potential to identify the elderly population at risk of adverse health outcomes. Based on this results, the appropriate tool for screening Korean Frail elderly and Nursing intervention for them needs to be developed.

Objectives : In evaluating a child with enuresis, an organized approach to the history leads to a working diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan. but, there's no study about history taking in enuretic children. This article was undertaken to evaluate the enuretic child exactly and to study nocturnal enuresis systematically. Methods : It was conducted a computerized literature search in following database: Medline (via Pubmed), NDSL, EBSCO. Korean articles via oriental pediatric association homepage, KISS. Key words to search were 'nocturnal enuresis', 'bedwetting', 'enuresis', 'incontinence', 'management', 'evaluation', 'assessment', 'questionnaire', 'guideline', 'voiding dysfunction'. Results : Questions are grouped in eight categories: primary history(sex, age, height, weight), family history, enuresis history(primary/secondary, frequency, time of enuresis, nocturia), voiding history(average number, frequency, pattern, volume, posture, daytime enuresis), medical history, constipation/encopresis, sleep(OSA). Conclusion : A careful, complete history taking will help to plan treatment properly and to study.
