This study was a retrospective descriptive study to identify frequency and change of palliative care provided for older patients with terminal stage of cardiopulmonary disease before and after life-sustaining treatment (LST) decision making. As a result of chart review of 124 older patients in a university hospital, oral analgesics medication, cold and hot therapy for pain management, antibiotics medication and urine culture for urinary infection, oral care, hair wash, and partial bath were provided significantly less after LST decision making. Provision of praying and relaxation therapy for pain control, oral and nasal care, and emotional care were not changed before and after LST decision making. Spiritual care was the least provided care. Therefore, non-pharmacological pain management, emotional care, and spiritual care need to be improved for older patients with terminal cardiopulmonary disease at the end of life.

당이 있으면 신장사용료를 지급해야 한다. 즉, 무언가 대가를 치러야한다는 뜻이다. 미국에서는 말기 신부전증의 원인질환으로 당뇨병성 신장질환이 36$\%$로서 가장 높은 것으로 보고되었으며, 한국에서는 만성 사구제신염 다음으로 가장 많은 원인 질환으로 되어 있지만 그 비율이 증가하는 추세이다.

Terminal pediatric patient include congenital metabolic abnormalities, chromosome aberrations, congenital anomalies, neuromuscular diseases and other incurable conditions as well as malignant tumors. One third of these diseases are cancers, and two thirds of cancers are lymphadenoma and leukemia. Terminal pediatric patient may feel fear, anger and frustration against treatment process in hospitals, lose control of themselves and stay in helplessness due to restrictions within controlled hospital environment. This study examined the relationship between hospitalized childrens behavior and music using Contextual Support Model of Music Therapya theory stating therapeutic music environments possess three elements of Structure, Autonomy support and Involvement, and increase childrens active engagement. Focused on these three therapeutic elements, this study analyzed music therapy cases of terminally ill children to examine the relationship between childrens behavior and music as environmental supportive medium in the environment. This study is on a single case case subject, a 10-year-old girl with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Nine sessions of music therapy activities were conducted and analyzed using qualitative method. Focusing on three therapeutic elements of Contextual Support Model, analysis of sessions was made on the basis of activities specifically designed for this study. Main music therapy activities included singing while playing musical instruments, singing while listening to music through CD player, making up songs, and searching for song lines. The findings of this study are as follows: a) in terms of Structure, music therapy suggested a direction for effective musical activities for terminally ill children by providing environments where child can sing, play musical instruments and make up songs; b) in terms of Autonomy support, music therapy encouraged childs voluntary participation by giving her chances to make choice while singing or playing musical instruments; c) in terms of Involvement, child could gain positive approval of the therapist and conduct musical activities in cooperation with the therapist. Music therapy serves as supportive medium in the environment, develops spontaneity and self-reliance in emotionally depressed children, and promotes voluntary attitudes in the restricted hospital environment. Based on the positive effects of music therapy, more studies need to be conducted with an approach to more various terminal pediatric patients.

Purpose: From August 2017, hospice-palliative care (HPC) will be provided to patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and liver cirrhosis in Korea. To contribute to building a non-cancer (NC) hospice-palliative care model, NC specialists were interviewed regarding the goals, details, and provision methods of the model. Methods: Four physicians specializing in HPC of cancer patients formulated a semi-structured interview with questions extracted from literature review of 85 articles on NC HPC. Eleven NC disease specialists were interviewed, and their answers were analyzed according to the qualitative content analysis process. Results: The interviewees said as follows: It is difficult to define end-stage NC patients. HPC for cancer patients and that for NC patients share similar goals and content. However, emphasis should be placed on alleviating other physical symptoms and emotional care rather than pain control. Timing of the care provision should be when patients are diagnosed as "end stage". Special issues should be considered for each NC disease (e.g., use of anti-retroviral drugs for AIDS patients, oxygen supply for COPD patients suffering from dyspnea, liver transplantation for patients with liver cirrhosis) and education should be provided to healthcare professionals. NC patients tend to negatively perceive HPC, and the government's financial assistance is insufficient. Conclusion: It is necessary to define end-stage NC patients through in-depth discussion to minimize issues that will likely accompany the expansion of care recipients. This requires cooperation between medical staff caring for NC patients and HPC givers for cancer patients.

본 연구는 말기콩팥질환자의 대체요법 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 시도하였다. 자료수집은 2010년 4월 13일부터 5월 13일까지 서울의 한 종합병원 신장내과에 내원한 201명을 대상으로 설문 및 면접조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 이용기간과 연령과는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.159, p<0.05). 둘째, 만성콩팥병의 대체요법 이용에 영향요인은 연령이 많을수록(${\beta}$=1.64), 대체이용기간이 길수록(${\beta}$=0.059), 월비용이 높을수록(${\beta}$=0.003), 질병이환기간(${\beta}$=2.147)이 길수록 대체요법 이용은 증가하였다. 따라서 초기에는 말기 콩팥질환자들에게 대체요법의 효과와 한계를 지도해야 하며 환자들에게 영향을 주는 가족들에게도 올바른 정보를 제공해야 할 것이다.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) commonly occurs in childhood and adolescence and diabetic nephropathy is a serious metabolic complication of T1DM that leads to serious morbidity. With poor glycemic control prepubertal diabetes duration contributes to the risk of long-term microvascular complications, however, the younger age at onset or longer prepubertal diabetes duration seems to prolong the time to development of microalbuminuria or later end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Therefore, there have been a few cases of diabetic nephropathy in prepubertal patients and therefore the ESRD cases developed during adolescence in T1DM children were very rare. Here we report an adolescent with T1DM who had poor glycemic control and was diagnosed as diabetic nephropathy in a prepubertal period and leading to end-stage renal disease during adolescence.

압력측정시스템은 입각기동안 동적압력분포를 성공적으로 측정할 수 있으나 하중수용기-중간입각기, 말기입각기-전유각기의 전환기들에 대해서는 운동분석시스템을 사용하지않고는 정확한 정의가 불가능하다. 따라서 저자들은 수평자유보행 시 압력중심의 이동을 이해하기 위해서 정상적인 발을 가진 20-30대 성인남자 78명을 대상으로 동작분석과발바닥 압력측정을 동시에 수행하였다. 결과로 하중반응기-중간입각기 전환시기의 발바닥 압력중심점은 후족부와 중족부의 경계선에서 앞쪽으로 1.9$\pm$1.5frame(32$\pm$24msec)에 위치하였으며 말기입각기-전유각기 전환시기에는 중족골두 최대 압력점의 앞쪽으로 2.3$\pm$2.0 frame(38$\pm$33msec)에 위치하였다. 정상수평보행에 있어서 최초접지 순간 압력중심은 전방으로 빠르게 이동하다가 바로 급속히 감소하여 하중반응기-중간입각기의 전환시기에는 작은 속도로 이동하였다. 압력중심의 이동속도는 그 후 다시 서서히 증가하다가 전체 보행주기의 25% 전후에서 서서히 감소하여 비교적 일정하다가 말기입각기-전유각기의 전환시점에서 다시 급격한 증가를 보였다. 족부질환과 보행특성을 판단하는데 있어서 압력중심의 이동궤적은 매우 유용한 인자가 될 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구를 통해서 압력측정시스템만으로는 정의할 수 없었던 두 전환기인 하중반응기-중간입각기, 말기입각기-전유각기를 결정할 수있게 되었다.
