Trauma to the thorax represents a significant portion of injuries seen in an inner-city emergency room. Although most of these patients may be sucessfully managed without thoracotomy, a certain percentage requires operative intervention either immediately or within several hours. 126 records of patients who had early thoracotomy for chest trauma from March 1986, to June 1997, in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery in Masan Samsung General Hospital were reviewed. There were 96 males and 30 females whose ages ranged from 4 to 72 years, with a mean age of 32.8 years. The modes of injury were as follows : stab wounds, 55 cases(44%), blunt trauma, 70 cases(55%), and gunshot wound, 1 case(1%). Immediate operation was performed in 105 cases(84%) and delayed operation in 21 cases(16%). Indications that operation was necessary were hemorraging and shock in 66 cases(52%), cardiac tamponade in 27 cases(21%), and rupture of the diaphragm in 33 cases(27%). Most of these patients were sucessfully treated but 21 cases were resulted in death. The mortality rate was 16.6% and common causes of death were irreversible shock and hypoxia.

Longitudinal data often occur in prospective follow-up studies. Joint model for longitudinal data and failure time has been applied on several works. In this paper, we extend it to the case where longitudinal data involve informative observation time process as well as competing risks survival times. We use a likelihood approach and derive an EM algorithm to obtain maximum likelihood estimate of parameters. A suggested joint model allows us to make inferences for three components: longitudinal outcome, observation time process and competing risk failure time. In addition, we can test the association among these components. In this paper, liver cirrhosis patients' data is analyzed. The relationship between prothrombin times measured at irregular visiting times and drop outs is investigated with a joint model.

Injury to the inferior vena cava (IVC) is associated with a high mortality rate, and little progress has been made for improving the treatment for this since the 1970s. Injury to the retrohepatic IVC, in particular, has been associated with up to a 75% mortality rate due to the difficulty in gaining adequate exposure and controlling the bleeding. Both the severity of injury and anatomic accessibility has been directly correlated with survival in IVC injury. We have experienced a patient with retrohepatic IVC that was ruptured by a penetrating gunshot injury and we managed to save this patient's life.

The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in medical care utilization by regional economic status using the National Hospital Discharge Patients Injury Survey. In order to determine economic status of each region, 234 cities and counties were categorized 5 quintiles according to their financial self-reliance ratio. The main results are as follows. First, low economic region has high age-standardized admission rate and standardized mortality rate. Second, of 16 major diseases, cerebrovascular and heart diseases, lung cancer, and stomach cancer reported greater changes in standardized mortality rate by regional economic status. Third, the rate of admission via emergency room in low economic region is higher than that of high economic region. Lastly, in the major illnesses, lower economic status led to an increase in average length of stay. Therefore, In order to bridge the gap in health inequality across regions, a regional medical policy tailored for each region and characteristics of the economic status should be established.

Between January 1992 and February 1995, 36 patients with mitral regurgitation were treated by a mitral repair There wert nineteen men and seventeen women whose mean age was 41.8 years, ranged from 10 to 71. Seventeenth patients had dystrophic change of mitral valve, twelve patients had rheumatic change of mitral valve, second patients had infective change of mitral valve and another fifth patients had functional change of mitral valve. Operation proced res were suture annuloplasty (35 cases), resection of leaflet (25 cases), chordal shortening(9 cases) and commisurotomy(1 cases). These procedures were combined in most patients. Two third of the patients were in New York Heart Association class III or IV and four fifth of the patients were in mitral regurgitation grade III or IV by doppler echocardiogram. After mitral valve repair, the patients were improved hemodynamic, echocardiographic data and functional class. Intraoperative TEE had been used in all most patients after weaning of bypass. If there remained MR more than grade 2, the valve was re-repaired or replacement. There were no operative death. The late mortality was 5.5% and cause of death was congestive heart failure. Patients have been followed up from 3 to 40 months, mean 15. Second patients underwant reoperation due to recurred mitral regurgitation, 4 and 19 days after the operation. During reoperation, we found that the repair suture was disrupted in both patients. Th s expierence demonstrated that intraoperative TEE is accurate and predictable and excellent immediate and mid-term results have been achieved by mitral valve repair.

Background: As the number of older-aged people increases, the number of elderly patients who receive critical care services is expected to increase substantially. The objective of this study was to examine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of elderly patients who receive mechanical ventilation for more than 30 days in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) at a university hospital. Methods: We retrospectively examined forty-one elderly patients (${\geq}65$ years old) who were receiving mechanical ventilation, from April 2004 to March 2007, for periods exceeding 30 days at the MICU at Eulji University Hospital. Results: The MICU and hospitalmortality rate were 60.9% and 65.9%, respectively. The mean length of the ICU stay was 57.5 days and the mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 49.3 days. The most common reason for MICU admission was acute respiratory failure (73.2%), followed by sepsis (12.2%), neurological problems (9.8%), and gastrointestinal bleeding (4.9%). The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores were higher for the nonsurvivors than for the survivors (28.0 vs. 25.0, respectively, p=0.03). The nonsurvivors received more red blood cell (RBC) transfusions during their ICU stay than did the survivors (84.0% vs. 43.8%, respectively p=0.007). The factors associated with hospital death were the APACHE II score and if the patient had received a RBC transfusion. Conclusion: The APACHE II score and a RBC transfusion were predictors of increased hospital mortality for the elderly patients who were on prolonged mechanical ventilation. These predictors may assist physicians to make clinical decisions for this patient population.

주치의에게는 암환자의 암 전이 여부가 초미의 관심사다. 암환자의 10명 중 9명이 전이암으로 사망하기 때문이다. 암의 전이 초기에 그 전이 여부를 방사선 진단법으로 가능하지 않다. 혈액을 채취하여 암의 전이 유무를 진단 하는 기술이 개발되고 있다. 이 혈중 암세포는 혈구세포 10억개당 1~100개 정도의 극히 미량이 존재하여 암세포 분리기술이 특별히 잘 개발되어야 한다. 최근 마이크로바이오칩 형태의 분리기술이 큰 기술적 진화를 보이고 있어 본고에 소개하고자 한다. 이 기술은 한 가지 큰 의미를 갖는다. 그것은 암환자의 암 전이 모니터링에 필요한 도구가 될 수 있기 때문이다. 전이암세포 검출 키트로 전이암세포를 계수 하여 환자에게 투약한 항암제가 적합한지에 대한 답을 의사는 얻을 수 있다. 전이암세포 진단용 마이크로바이오칩 기술이 기존의 영상진단법만큼 중요한 임상 수단이 될 것으로 전망된다.

최근 고령화 사회가 심각한 사회적 문제로 급부상하고 있으며, 이에 병원을 찾아 입원하는 비중이 이전에 비하여 높아지고 있다. 거동이 불편하거나 근력이 부족한 환자의 경우 스스로 거동할 능력이 다소 떨어지며, 낙상사고가 발생하면 부상 혹은 치명적일 경우 사망으로 이어질 수 있다. 하지만, 이들을 보살피는 간호 인력만으로 병원 내 모든 낙상사고를 파악하기에는 한계가 있다. 또한, 환자들의 낙상 탐지에 관한 연구는 지속해서 수행되어왔지만, 병원 내부환경에서의 낙상 탐지 연구는 부족하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 병원 내부환경에서 낙상을 탐지하기 위해 실제 병실에서 수집한 데이터로 YOLOv5 모델을 학습하여 환자 낙상 탐지모델을 구축 및 평가하였다.
