The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) by comparing intraoral factors, body mass index (BMI), and medical history with pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ) findings. Seven hundred eighty-seven subjects aged between 7 to 11 years old were included. Their caregivers were asked to complete questionnaires. Oral manifestations including Angle's classification, overjet, and Brodsky tonsil grade were examined. Children with PSQ scores of more than 0.33 points were classified into the SDB high-risk group. Among the 787 subjects, 34 (4.3%) were classified into the SDB high-risk group. Children with allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, excessive overjet, or large tonsil size had a significantly higher risk for SDB versus those without. Also, there was a significant difference in SDB risk according to BMI status. Gender, gestational age, breastfeeding, and Angle's classification were not associated with SDB. Children at high risk for SDB were predisposed to tonsillar hypertrophy, allergic rhinitis, obesity, and atopic dermatitis. Children with these factors could be candidates for early intervention to prevent the progression of SDB.

야뇨증은 소아뿐만 아니라 부모들에게 매우 애를 먹이는 현상이며, 때로는 정신적, 정서적 장애 또는 행동장애를 유발할 수도 있다. 적절한 치료를 하기 위하여서는 세심한 병력, 신체검사와 필요에 따라서 적절한 실험실 검사 및 방사선검사으로 단인증상성 야뇨증인지를 제대로 구별하여야 한다. 실제 임상에서 야뇨증의 치료는 그렇게 용이하지만은 않아 우선 어린이와 부모들이 야뇨증을 제대로 이해할 수 있도록 사전 교육을 통하여 적극적인 치료 의지를 갖도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 여러 가지 행동요법 및 야뇨경보기, 적절한 약물요법을 환자의 상황에 맞도록 적절한 치료 방법을 모색하여 보다 치료 효과가 높고 재발이 적도록 노력하여야 한다.

Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) is the most common psychiatric disorder in school-age children which is increasing gradually. It is hard for ADHD children to focus on particular stimulus for a long time. ADHD children are characterized by hyperactivity which shows in behaviors like, talking too much, getting up from their seats without permission, running around, keep on moving their arms and legs. ADHD children have problems with impulse controlling that they tend to fall and get into an accident very often. Thus dentist's attention and care must increase when dental treatment is performed with ADHD children since behavior control, oral hygiene problems, and trauma might be expected. By using sedative drugs and psychological behavior control, chief complaint was resolved in a 8-years-old female diagnosed for ADHD.

최근 실내공기질의 관심은 사무실 등의 건축물에서 신축공동주택, 학교, 교통수단 등으로 확대되고 있으며, 특히 생활수준의 향상으로 건강한 삶을 추구하며 쾌적한 실내공간을 확보하기 위하여 노력하고 있다. 환경성 질환과 연계하여 민감계층군(어린이의 어린이집 등)과 사회취약계층(노인, 장애인들의 노인 및 장애복지시설)등 사회복지시설에 관심에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있는 추세이다.

Maximum mouth opening is regarded as an important tool used to evaluate the clinical function of temporomandibular joint and the masticatory system. It has been reported that children can also exhibit severe dysfunction or pain in some cases of temporomandibular disorder. The purpose of this study was to measure the normal maximum mouth opening in Korean children and to analyze the correlations between mouth opening and the associated factors. Maximum mouth opening was measured from 151 healthy children between the ages of 2 and 6 years old. Age, height, weight, and mouth width were also recorded. As a result, the mean maximum mouth-opening was $37.72{\pm}5.10mm$. While the values were greater in boys than in girls without statistical significance, the increases of maximum mouth opening based on age, height, weight, and mouth width were significant (p < 0.05). In children, positive correlation coefficients were observed between maximum mouth opening and the associated factors and height showed the highest correlation. In conclusion, we collected data of the normal range of maximum mouth opening in Korean children, and this study can be utilized as a basis in diagnosing pediatric temporomandibular disorder and safety standard of mouth opening during dental procedures.

이 연구에서는 현 재난 경보에서 재난 약자가 가질 수 있는 취약성에 대해 알아보았다. 그리고 해당 취약성에 대한 해결 방안과 해결을 위해 적용할 수 있는 기술적 요구사항도 함께 알아보았다. 재난 약자는 경보 수신 공백, 맞춤형 서비스 부족, 단독 대응 불가 등과 같은 공통적 재난 경보 취약성과 함께 어린이, 노인, 외국인, 장애인 집단 별로 차별적 취약성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 보완하기 위해서는 단말기에 이동통신 수신 모듈과 ATSC 3.0 수신 모듈 모두 탑재, ATSC 3.0 방송망을 통해 재난 약자 유형에 맞춘 복수의 메시지 전송, 단말기의 수신자 프로파일 설정에 의한 메시지 표출, 기존의 AEAT 개선 등이 공통적으로 필요하다. 그리고 어린이, 노인, 외국인, 장애인 집단 별로 차별적 취약성을 보완할 수 있는 차별적 기술도 필요하다.

The development of our social life and standard of living should stimulate our concern not only of primary treatment of disease, but also of rehabilitation and social welfare. We ordinarily understand that rehabilitation is limited to the rehabilitation of bodies, and yet development of a speech rehabilitation program is also neccessary at the same time. One of the pollutions, the "speech pollution" should be given attention, as so many children are pronouncing words incorrectly due to the fact that they are influenced by mass communication and the wrong pronounciation of the adult. We have studies the pronounciation of 921 boys and girls of five primary schools in Chonju City, and this paper is dealing with the method of study, its result, and its casuses. It is hoped that this paper will stimulate further study of speech pathology in Korea and will help eliminate "speech pollution" of the children.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between various predicting tools and Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) to identify children with sleep disordered breathing (SDB). From 5 to 10 years old who came for orthodontic counseling, 61 children, whom had lateral cephalograms, pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ) records, and portable sleep monitoring results, were included in this study. A total of 17 measurements (11 distances and 6 angles) were made on lateral cephalograms. The measurements of lateral cephalograms, PSQ scales and portable sleep monitoring results were statistically analyzed. 49 of 61 (80%) patients showed AHI > 1, which suspected to have SDB and their mean AHI was 2.75. In this study, adenoid size (A/N ratio), position of the hyoid bone from mandibular plane, gonial angle, and PSQ scale were related to a higher risk of pediatric SDB. Also, oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and snoring time from sleep monitoring results were statistically significant in children with SDB using Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05). In conclusion, evaluation of hyoid bone position, adenoidal hypertrophy, gonial angle in lateral cephalogram, and PSQ scale was important to screen out potential SDB, especially in children with frequent snoring.
