세계보건기구(WHO)에서는 동남아시아를 중심으로 발생하기 시작했던 급성호흡기감염을 '중증급성호흡지증후군(SARS)'으로 공식 명명하고 전 세계에 경보령을 발동, 각국에서는 경계령을 발동하여 환자 발생감시체제를 가동하였다. 또한 올 겨울 SARS가 다시 유행할 것에 대비해 철저한 대비책을 세워나가야 한다는 전문가의 의견이 제시되기도 하였다. 특히 우리나라는 WHO의 SARS 위험평가 분류에 의거 저위험지역에 해당되나 상반기 사스유행지역인 중국 등과 밀접한 교류가 많은 점을 감안하여 교점지역에 준하여 의료기관 중심 SARS 감시체계를 운영하고 단계별로 감시체계를 전국 병원으로 확대하기로 하였다. 이에 편집실에서는 한동안 전 세계 초미의 관심사였던 SARS에 대해 정리해보는 기회를 갖고자 원고를 청탁하여 특별기고로 다루고자 한다.

산업위생의 진보에 따라서 전형적이면서 중증인 만성직업병은 일부의 예외를 제외하고는 근래에 거의 발생되고 있지 않다. 그러나 급성 특히 재해성인 것은 그 발생원인이 다분히 우발적인 것이어서 만전을 기한 예방대책이 곤란한 경우도 있기 때문에 지금도 많은 발생사례가 있으며, 또 앞으로도 발생될 가능성이 충분히 있다. 또한 근래의 산업이 발전함에 따라 그 독성이나 중독증상이 불명확한 물질을 사용하게 되었고, 이로 인해 샐운 직업병이 발생되게 하였다. 이러한 직업병 발생사례 중 주목해야 할, 혹은 각 사업체에 있어서 향후 예방대책의 참고자료가 되는 것이 일본 노동성 노동위생과에 의해서 정리되었다. 이글을 참고자료로 하여 향후의 재해방지에 도움이 되고자 한다. <편집실>

There has been arguing in the proper surgical treatment of myasthenia gravis. But the ultimate goal of operation is complete removal of thymic tissues. In view of previous surgical-anatomic studies that there are frequently thymic tissues from the level of thyroid gland to the diaphragm and from hilum to hilum, en bloc resection of thymus, mediastinal fat including both sheets of pleura and pericardium is reasonable. We experienced four myasthenic patients with radical thymectomy from 1989. As compared to the result of previous simple thymectomy group, the 23 patients who were operated from 1976 to 1988[Group I ], excellent surgical outcome was obtained in radical thymectomy group[Group II ].

Objective: Improvement of myasthenia gravis through Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT). Methods: A 52-year-old patient with myasthenia gravis was prescribed 21 different OCNT treatments, including Cyaplex. Results: Following the administration of OCNT, symptoms such as eyelid ptosis, masticatory dysfunction, diplopia, and fatigue showed improvement. Conclusion: OCNT can assist in alleviating and mitigating symptoms for patients suffering from thymoma and myasthenia gravis.

Purpose: This study was aimed to estimate nursing cost for hemodialysis of tertiary hospitals using Resource Based Relative Value Scale(RVRBS). Method: First, we calculated nursing workload of the each hemodialysis-nursing behaviors compared with basic nursing behavior(check vital sign) for the most severe hemodialysis patients in general hospitals. Second, we measured each spent time according to each nursing behaviors. Third, we computed Resource Based Relative Value(RBRV) scores and nursing expenses of each 14 nursing behavior for hemodialysis. Finally, we estimated nursing cost of each hemodialysis-behavior for the most severe hemodialysis-patients in general hospitals. Result: The mean RBRV scores for each nursing behaviors were from 218.9 to 383.9 points. The highest RBRV socres were 383.9(Complication during hemodialysis). The Nursing behavior that spent the most time was "access the vascular( 31.7 minutes)". Nursing cost per hemodialysis for the patient with severe condition was estimated 63,455(won). Conclusion: Total average workload was 347.6 points and total spent time was 306.5 minutes for 14 hemodialysis nursing behaviors provided to severe patients. There were clear differences in nursing workload and cost according to patient's severity-mild, moderate and severe class.

Background : Atopic dermatitis is chronic exzemaous dermatitis and the recurrence rate of atopic dermatitis is high. Many patients are suffering from pruritus. Objective : This study compared ambulatory care with hospitalization for atopic dermatitis treatment of one patient, and investigated the effect of Oriental medicine program for atopic dermatitis patients during short term hospitalization. Method : We treated a 5 year-old boy with uncontrollable atopic dermatitis by ambulatory care and hospitalizaion. Herbal medication and herbal dressing was done samely during ambulatory care and hospitalization. Intensive life management, education for compliance was done only during hospitalization. Results : Even though he had been treated for 5 months by ambulatory care, he still suffered from severe itching, erythema, oozing and insomnia. Admission duration was 10 days. During admission, the SCORAD scores and subjective scores were decreased rapidly. Conclusion : We concluded that effects of the treatments can be different due to compliance of the patient and in that view the short term hospitalization program could be more helpful than ambulatory care for uncontrollable atopic dermatitis patients.

Purpose: This study was conducted to test criterion-related validity of the Critical Patients' Severity Classification System (CPSCS) developed by the Hospital Nurses' Association by examining relationships with brain injury severity measured by Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), recovery state measured by Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), and days of stay in ICU of brain injury patients. Methods: Prospective correlational research design was adopted by including 194 brain injury patients admitted to ICU of one university hospital. Results: The score of CPSCS appeared to significantly discriminate the severity of brain injury. Among nursing activities in CPSCS, Respiratory therapy, IV Infusion and Medication, Monitoring, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Treatment and Procedure were significant to discriminate the severity of brain injury. Respiratory therapy, Vital Signs, and Monitoring appeared to significantly discriminate the recovery states of 1- and 3-months. Nursing activities significantly contributed to predict the days of ICU stay were Respiratory therapy, ADL, and Teaching and Emotional Support. Conclusion: CPSCS developed by the Hospital Nurses Association appeared to be valid to discriminate or predict brain injury severity, recovery states, and days of stay in ICU for brain injury patients.
