A 10-year-old spayed female Pekinese dog was referred to veterinary medical teaching hospital of Chonbuk National University with signs of dysuria, abdominal distension, and hematuria. Abdominal radiography revealed a large oval soft tissue mass in cranial abdomen, which was a fluid filled cyst containing a round mass by ultrasonography. Exploratory laparatomy found a 4 cm cyst containing reddish brown fluid and a 1.5 cm small round mass attached to the wall. Cytological impression of the imprint smears of the resected mass were highly malignant adenocarcinoma, which was confirmed by histopathology of the mass and the cyst. After the surgery the patient recovered uneventfully and discharged. The tumor recurred about one year after surgery, and second surgery performed at the owner's request. However the tumor recurred in two months with metastatic disease in the lung and the dog survived three more months after surgery.

최근 고도의 지능적인 대량 공격이 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 다형성 악성코드 공격 증가로 인하여 개인과 기업 및 국가 기반시설까지 사이버위협에 노출되고 있다. 현재, 국가차원의 대응센터에서는 이러한 위협 대응을 위해 공격 위험도를 CVSS(Common Vulnerability Scoring System) 취약점 등급시스템으로 점수화하여 단계적으로 경보를 발령한다. 하지만 현재의 경보발령 체계가 공격이 이루어진 후 사후 대책으로 제공되고 있어, 공격발생 전에 공격 징후를 포착하거나 공격량 예측과 같은 전역 네트워크 차원의 위협에 대한 대응 기술은 미비하다. 본 논문에서는 최근 봇넷 기반의 공격들이 많아지고 있는 상황에서 봇넷을 네트워크 위협 전조증상으로 정의하고, NCSC(National Cyber Security Center), KrCERT와 같은 국가기관의 경보등급 산정체계를 기반으로 전역차원의 예 경보 발령 및 공격량 예측 시스템에 대해 연구한다.

환경성 질환은 본래 그 특성상 특이한 증상, 징후를 보이지 않고 일반적인 건강 이상상태를 보이는 것을 특징으로 하기 때문에 대기오염이 인체에 미치는 영향에 대한 생리학적 기전은 아직 완전히 밝혀지지 않았으며 개인수준의 건강영향을 정확히 파악하기란 매우 어려우므로 사망자료나 의료보험자료와 같은 인구집단의 건강관련자료를 이용하는 역학연구가 필수적이다. (중략)

Most of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder(TMD) is temporary and self-limiting as other musculoskeletal diseases. Conservative, reversible treatment; self care, behavior modification, physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, splint therapy should be considered as initial treatment for temporomandibular disorder rather than non conservative, irreversible treatment.

Purpose : Children with acute colonic diverticulitis(ACD), can be misdiagnosed with acute appendicitis. Methods : We reviewed 15 cases of ACD during five years, from January 1998 to June 2002 retrospectively. Results : Most patients(80%) with ACD in children presented with right lower quadrant pain. The primary diagnosis on admission was mostly acute appendicitis(87%), and all ACD in children occurred in the right colon. Fourteen patients were managed by conservative treatment including antibiotics. A follow-up study was performed in 15 patients. There were symptomatic recurrences in two patients, but no significant complication was noted. The frequency of ACD was 11.7 per 1000 acute appendicitis. Conclusion : ACD in children can mostly be cured by conservative treatment. It is prudent to choose the management through the diagnostic work up, including abdominal sonography and computed tomography, because there was no significant difference of clinical findings between ACD and acute appendicitis.

Temporomandibular disorder(TMD) is relatively prevalent disease, and quality of life may be impaired in TMD patients. Like general population, dental hospital workers are also exposed to the risk of TMD. But, many of them tend to overlook or tolerate their symptoms for lack of time and interest. Therefore, problems may become more serious, causing interference of performing task and decrease of quality of life. The aim of this study were to obtain data for TMD prevalence in dental hospital workers and to evaluate quality of life according to TMD symptoms. Subjects were recruited from Wonkwang University Dental Hospital. After consent, subjects completed quality of life questionnaire and were evaluated for subjective and objective signs and symptoms of TMD. Subjects were classified into 4 groups : (1) normal group (2) joint disorder group, (3) local myalgia group, and (4) myofascial pain group. The result of the study indicated that TMD negatively influences the quality of life in dental hospital worker. TMD symptoms can deteriorate quality of life in dental hospital worker. Future effort to make protocol for proper management is needed.

Objectives : The craniopharyngioma is a benign tumor located at least in part in the suprasellar cistern. However, the symptoms and signs from this tumor may be determined not only by the location of the tumor but also by its size and the age of the patient. The objective of our study is to analyze retrospectively the clinical manifestations of craniopharyngiomas with regards to tumor characteristics in children and adults. Material and Methods: Twenty-three patients(16 adults, 7 children) treated for craniopharyngioma between 1990 and 1999 were studied to demonstrate the relationship of tumor size, growth pattern, and its invasiveness with clinical symptoms. As part of the assessment, 16 adults(M : F=8 : 8, mean age : 43.7 years) and 7 children(M : F=5 : 2, mean age : 10.1 years) underwent magnetic resonance(MR) imaging and computerized tomography(CT) scanning with a three-dimensional volume acquisition sequence. Results : The three major cardinal signs were defined to increased intracranial pressure, endocrine dysfunction, and visual problems. The tumor size in child group was larger than that in adult group. Also, visual problems, symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus were more frequently observed in child group. However, endocrine dysfunction and neuropsychological symptoms related with hypothalamic connections to the thalamus, pituitary, frontal lobe, and other cortical areas were more frequent in adult group. Conclusions: In our series, the tumor size and invasiveness of craniopharyngioma revealed to be relevent with initial symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and visual symptoms which were more frequent in child group. As for the growth pattern, we did not find major difference between adults and children.

Respiratory infections such as COVID-19 mainly occur within enclosed spaces. The presence or absence of abnormal symptoms of respiratory infectious diseases is judged through initial symptoms such as fever, cough, sneezing and difficulty breathing, and constant monitoring of these early symptoms is required. In this paper, image matching correction was performed for the RGB camera module and the thermal imaging camera module, and the temperature of the thermal imaging camera module for the measurement environment was calibrated using a blackbody. To detection the target recommended by the standard, a deep learning-based object recognition algorithm and the inner canthus recognition model were developed, and the model accuracy was derived by applying a dataset of 100 experimenters. Also, the error according to the measured distance was corrected through the object distance measurement using the Lidar module and the linear regression correction module. To measure the performance of the proposed model, an experimental environment consisting of a motor stage, an infrared thermography temperature screening system and a blackbody was established, and the error accuracy within 0.28℃ was shown as a result of temperature measurement according to a variable distance between 1m and 3.5 m.

Purpose : The incidence of thromboembolic episodes in children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) is low; however, these episodes are often severe. Moreover, both pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and renal vein thrombosis (RVT) rarely show clinical symptoms. This study was performed to determine the benefits of routine screening in the detection of thrombosis in childhood NS. Methods : Among 62 children with nephrotic syndrome, a total of 54 children (43 males, 11 females) were included in this study. When the patients experienced their first NS episode, we performed renal Doppler ultrasonography in order to detect RVT. To rule out the possibility of PTE, a lung perfusion scan was performed. Computed tomographic (CT) pulmonary angiography was recommended to patients who showed possible signs of PTE. All patients were evaluated for clinical signs of thrombosis, biochemical indicators of renal disease, as well as clotting and thrombotic parameters. Results : RVT or related clinical symptoms were not observed in any children. Based on the findings of the lung perfusion scans, 15 patients (27.8%) were observed with as a high probability of PTE. We were able to perform a CT pulmonary angiography only on 12 patients, and 5 patients were diagnosed with PTE (prevalence 8.1%). The serum fibrinogen level in the group with PTE was significantly higher ($776.7{\pm}382.4mg/dL$, P<0.05) than that in the group without PTE, and other parameters were not significantly different between each group. Conclusion : Further studies are required for clarifying the role of renal Doppler ultrasonography for the detection of RVT in NS. Children with NS who developed non-specific respiratory symptoms should be evaluated for the diagnosis of PTE. In the management of NS, a lung perfusion scan should be performed at the time of the initial episode of NS regardless of the pulmonary symptoms, since patients having PTE are either often asymptomatic, or present with nonspecific symptoms.
