Objectives : This study aims to analyze differences in the use of postpartum care services and identify the factors affecting their use. Methods : Data were collected from the 2008-2014 Korean Health Panel. Chi-square tests were conducted to analyze differences in the characteristics of women after birth by the use of postpartum care services. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting the use of each type of postpartum care service. Results : Participants with higher education and household income levels were more likely to use a postpartum care facility. Individuals with a lower number of household members, who gave birth in 2011-2013, and who used hospitals specializing in obstetrics and gynecology had a greater likelihood of using a postpartum care facility. The probability of using a postpartum caretaker was higher when participants did not perform any economic activities. Conclusions : It is meaningful to confirm that use patterns and determinants of postpartum care facilities and postpartum caretakers are completely different and that the socioeconomic status of women affects the utilization of postpartum care facilities.

Recently the Supreme Court held that "in cases in which a patient suffering from a mental disorder attempts to commit suicide, fails, and then succeeds in a subsequent attempt, the following circumstances must be present in order to acknowledge reasonable causation between the negligence of the hospital with regards to taking care of the patient and the death of the patient; there must have existed negligence on the part of the hospital with regards to their failure to stop the 1stsuicide attempt, injurious aftereffects must have been caused to the patient by the1stsuicide attempt, and said aftereffects must have been the main cause for the 2nd successful suicide attemtp." This, in effect, lessens the requirements of past holdings of the Supreme Court which held that "to acknowledge reasonable causation between the negligence of the hospital and the patient that commits suicide, the patient must have experienced such severe physical and mental suffering from the previous attempt so that they could not help but choose to commit suicide". The fact that the Supreme Court did not clearly state such changes in their view on this matter should be corrected. Also, the fact that the court only held the hospital liable for damages of less than 50 million won, only calculating damages up to the point when the deceased passed, is inadequate compared to other cases and should be corrected.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze health service utilization, and its related factors in low income families who earned half of the average Korean household income. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive survey study in which a nationwide randomization sampling technique was used. The data were collected from July 12 to August 7, 1999, and the total sample size was 5,819 individuals, belonging to 1.753 households. Results: 1) In the utilization of health services for the last 3months, the pharmacy was the type of service that was the most utilized (32.0%), and the health center was the one that was the least utilized (10.3%). About 29% (29.2%) of the respondents could not utilize the health service at all. and 19.8% of the respondents terminated their medical treatments half way to completion because of financial difficulty (89.4%). 2) Analysis of the data using logistic regression showed that living with spouse, level of education, occupation, and income had statistically significant effects on health service utilization. Conclusion: The parameters of health care policies are equity and efficacy for health status, and the health service utilization by low income families. The conclusive resolution for these is the improvement of public health centers for an increased utilization rate of their services.

최근의 진단의료용 방사선영상은 대부분 디지털영상으로 변환되었으나, 영상획득을 위한 조사조건 등 영상화질에 영향을 미치는 요소들에 관련하여서는 여전히 대부분 필름-스크린 시스템의 기준을 그대로 따르고 있으며, 실정이다. 뿐만 아니라 획득된 디지털영상에 대한 객관적인 화질평가 또한 임상에서 적용되고 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 디지털영상의 화질을 평가함에 있어 기본이 되는 요소인 화질의 균일성, NPS(noise power spectrum), MTF(modulation transfer function), NEQ(noise equivalent quanta) 등에 대한 평가를 임상에서 활용할 수 있도록 사용자 친화적인 윈도우 환경의 디지털영상화질 평가 프로그램을 MatLab을 이용하여 개발하였다.

This study aimed to investigate and compare the perception of personal protective equipments and instrument sterilization of students who are in attendance at colleges and universities and which have bedside training as a regular subject in their curriculum for third-year students. 'Completely True' is the highest response to the question about the importance of wearing gloves, mask and medical gown from all groups. 'Completely True' is the highest response to the question about the necessity for replacement of gloves from all groups. 'Moderate True' is the highest response to the question about the necessity for replacement of mask from the group without practical training and 'Completely True' is the highest response to the question about the importance of hair cleanliness from all groups regardless of practical training experience. For the question about the perception of instrument disinfection and sterilization, the group with inside and outside practical training showed the highest perception level. Consequently, the right education for prevention of infection by setting inclusive guidelines to enhance the level of perception and practice seems continuously necessary.

Mr(Magnetic Resonance ) 영상은 인체 기관의 상태에 관한 많은 정보를 가지고 있어 이것을 분석하여 가시화하면 의료 진단에 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. MR 영상의 가시화는 영상의 획득, 전처리, 조직 분류, 보간, 렌더링의 단계로 이루어진다. 이 단계 중 Mr 영상의 불완전성 때문에 현재 조직 분류 및 보간이 문제로 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 머리 MR 영상을 대상으로 조직 분류 및 보간에 대한 기법을 제안하고 제안된 기법을 바탕으로 뇌를 3차원 가시화한다. 조직 분류 기법에서는 뇌조직 성분 구성 등 임상 실험에 의해 밝혀진 뇌에 대한 구조적인 지식을 단계적으로 이용한다. 보간 기법은 오목 윤곽선에 사용할 수 있게 동적 탄성 보간기법을 개선하였다. 제안한 구조적인 분류 기법 및 보간 기법을 다른 기법과 비교 평가한다.

본 논문에서는 노인의 의료 서비스를 보조하기 위하여 영상 처리를 통해 알약을 구분하고 정보를 제공하기 위한 시스템을 개발하였다. 노인의 경우에는 가정에 보관하고 있는 알약의 종류가 다양하고 어떤 약인지 구분하기 힘들어 사용하지 못하고 버리거나 방치해 두는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 안드로이드 폰을 사용하여 알약을 촬영하고 영상처리를 하여 약의 모양과 분할선, 색 등의 특징을 구분하고, 서버와 연동하여 약의 이름과 효과, 주의사항 등의 정보를 제공함으로써 노인들이 약을 쉽게 구분할 수 있도록 하였다.

Purpose: This study was amied to identify the effects of a 12 week Korean traditional dance movement program on balance, depression, medical cost, medical institution's utilization and fall among elderly women. Methods: Using a quasi-experimental design, the experimental group was composed of 130 subjects and the control group was composed of 123 subjects. The experimental group participated in a 12 week Korean traditional dance movement program 3 times a week from December 2002 to February 2003. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, paired t-test and t-test. Results: There was siginificant improvement in balance(right leg p=.000, left leg p=.004), depression(p=.000), and the medical institution's utilization(p=.001) and fall(p=.002) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: A Korean traditional dance movement program improved balance, depression, and decreased fall and medical cost in elderly women. Therefore, we recommend this program be utilized as a health promoting program and falls preventing program for the elderly in the community.
