Flank Pain is a leading indicator of renal and upper urinary tract disease or trauma, and rarely results from pelvic congestion syndrome. Although pelvic congestion syndrome occurs commonly in multi-parous women, pelvic congestion syndrome should also be considered as the cause of flank pain in an adolescent girl. We report the first case of pelvic congestion syndrome presenting with chronic left flank pain in an adolescent girl.

Anesthesiologists are usually responsible for the major works in pain clinics and are often called for many sophisticated nerve blocks in the management of acute or chronic intractable pain. It is, therefore, not uncommon for the anesthesiologists to meet some unexpected and unusual complications during his or her performance. We experienced a case of a pneumothorax following a thoracic intrathecal alcohol block. There was an unusual and yet unexplainable cephalad spread of alcohol following an injection through the 4th sacral foramen, and a shearing off of the catheter by a Tuohy epidural needle following the epidural catheterization. All these three cases are herein presented.

본 연구의 목적은 치과위생사의 근무환경, 근골격계 질환 예방교육에 대한 인식, 작업관련성 근골격계 질환과 근무특성과의 연관성에 대하여 알아보고자 하였으며, 근골격계 질환 증상 감소를 위한 관리방안을 제시하고자 한다. 전국(서울, 경기, 대구, 포항) 210명의 치과위생사를 대상으로2011년 8월 1일부터 12일까지 자기기입식 설문지 조사를 시행한 후 회수하여 응답이 불분명하거나 크게 사고를 당한 5명을 제외한 205명에 대해서 분석 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 15.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 근골격계질환 예방에 관한 교육을 받은 적이 없는 치위생사가 78.0%로 대부분을 차지하였으며, 근골격계 질환 예방프로그램이 필요하다고 인식하는 치과위생사가 93.2%로 대부분을 차지하였다. 신체부위별 통증빈도를 보면, 평균이 '어깨-목 사이(오른쪽)'가 3.07로 가장 높았고, 신체부위별 통증 정도를 보면, 평균이 '발목/종아리(왼쪽)'가 1.47로 가장 높게 나타났다. 신체부위별 근골격계 질환 통증경험 관련 작업능력 지장여부를 보면, 평균이 '무릎(오른쪽)'이 1.84로 가장 높게 나타났다. 손에 대한 근골격계 질환 증상으로는 오른손의 불편함 정도를 보면, 평균이 'Abductor hallucis muscle' 부분이 2.05로 가장 높았고, 왼손의 불편함 정도를 보면, 평균이 'Thumb' 부분이 1.69로 가장 높게 나타났다.

Bacterial meningitis is a rare complication of epidural block. As epidural abscess, subarachnoid infection associated with epidural catheters are related to the treatment of pain in diabetic patient whose immune responses have been impaired. A 51-year-old male with non-insulin dependent diabetes came to the pain clinic with neuropathic gain on right thigh and amputated stump of right leg. Treatment consisted of continuous epidural block and subcutaneous tunnelling and epidural morphine with bupivacaine was given on an outpatient basis. Two months later, the patient noted a diffuse frontal headache, projectile vomiting and stiffness neck. These symptoms became more aggrevated over the following 24 h and temperature went up to $38.4^{\circ}C$. A diagnostic lumbar puncture revealed CSF total protein of 747 mg/dl, glucose of 43 mg/dl, and $4320\;WBC/mm^3$. Cultures of epidural catheter tip grew hemolytic staphylococcus epidermidis. A chest x-ray and brain CT scan were negative. Antibiotic therapy with penicillin G and chloramphenicol was given for 15 days. Recovery was uneventful.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance exercise with vibration stimulation methods on static balance and gait parameters in experienced back pain adults. This study was Three group pretest-posttest design. A total of 30 experienced back pain adults voluntarily participated in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to the resistance exercise with 8 Hz vibration stimulation(n=10), resistance exercise with 30 Hz vibration stimulation(n=10), and lumbar stabilization exercise groups(n=10). The static balance and the gait parameters, as such stance phase, swing phase, stride length and cadence, were measured using balance measuring equipment and gait analysis treadmill at before and after 6 week. Intervention of each group were performed, three times a week for 6 weeks, and 30 minutes a day. The effect of intervention on static balance, stance phase, swing phase, stride length and cadence were significantly differences after 6 weeks in each group(p<.05). In the comparison of the effects between the groups, static balance and stance phase were significantly difference after 6 weeks(p<.05), but in the swing phase, stride length and cadence, there were no significant differences. As a result, it is considered that resistance exercise with vibration stimulation improved leg muscle strength by a mechanism causing muscle contraction, and the strengthened leg muscle enhanced had a positive effect on balance ability. And improved balance ability was considered a more positive effect on walking ability by allowing the body to stably control posture while moving.

Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA), a chronic and systemic inflammatory disorder, is characterized by joint pain, swelling and stiffness. Patients with RA suffer from joint pain and overall pain. The painful and disabling consequences of RA are accompanied by a variety of affective, cognitive, and behavioral changes. The purpose of this paper was to explore and describe the life experiences of RA patients by eliciting verbal description of their experiences. Participants were nine persons who were diagnosed with RA, and had had it for more than six months. They were asked open ended and descriptive questions in order for them to talk about their experiences in their on terms. Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analyzed by Colaizzi method. From the protocols, 213 significant statements about life experience were organized into 83 formulating meanings which were then grouped into five theme clusters. The major themes that emgerged from the analysis were' Emotional Disturbances', 'Trying to Adapt to the Progress of Disease', 'Progress of Treatment'. 'Change of Role Performances', 'Experiences related to Family'. The result of this study showed that RA patients and families need nursing care based on a deep understanding of their lived experiences in everyday life. Nurses and other health workers must develop rehabilitation programs that focus on the pain control, functional independence and psychosocial factors.

Purpose: This study was to investigate nursing students' knowledge, experience and self-efficacy regarding children's pain management. Methods: A descriptive research design was used. The participants in this study were 167 senior nursing students who understood purpose of this study and accepted to participate in. The Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge and Attitude Survey regarding Pain (PNKAS) was used to measure knowledge toward children's pain management. Data were collected from December 15 to December 30, 2012. Results: The overall percentage of correct answer was 56%. The pain assessment scale and non-pharmacological pain intervention which senior nursing students used in most were face pain rating scale (94.6%, n=158/167) and emotional support (93.4%, n=156/167). Significant differences were found in self-efficacy scores between above-average group of knowledge score. Conclusion: This study showed that undergraduate nursing students had a lack of knowledge for children's pain management. There is a need for more detailed educational program in the area of children's pain management.

A 60-year-old man was diagnosed with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. He refused treatment with a curative aim and was treated conservatively. Pain had developed on his shoulder and chest wall, which became worse as the cancer progressed. Although his pain initially appeared to be relieved with weak opioids and analgesics, it became more severe Strong opioids (transdermal fentanly patch and oxycodone), antidepressant or epidural block were introduced, However, the background pain became more intense and reached up to 8~9/10 on the visual analog scale (VAS). The dose of the transdermal fentanl patch was gradually increased to $600{\mu}g/hr$, which resulted in a dramatic improvement in his pain (9/10 of VAS) to 3/10 for most of the time. We described the successful experience with a high dose transdermal fentanyl patch for cancer pain relief, which might be an alternative option for cancer patients suffering from severe pain.
