As computer network and wireless technology continue to grow rapidly, a wide range of remote application has been applied to medical field such as remote medical consulting and remote patient monitoring. This research aims to design RF telecommunication-based healthcare application to collect and manage patient's physiological data, and describe the overall procedure of experiment. MySQL database is designed to record patient's physiological data including temperature, blood pressure and heart rate and save information about medical behaviors such as doctor's prescription for patients. Therefore, users approved by healthcare application can query patient's data and collected data can be used to reorganize data for clinical test. As a result, temperature and humidity of patient's room which must be checked frequently can be processed automatically through ubiquitous sensor network. The information entered from mobile phones or web is saved in database, ensuring systematical management through computer. Moreover, patient's family members can easily access hospital data, improving their experience with medical service.

Fall is the most common cause of trauma in the elderly and a major reason of dental injury. Maxillary anterior region is the most vulnerable area to the traumatic fall. Loss of teeth and adjacent tissue in this area results in maxillofacial defects and inappropriate maxillomandibular relationship. Reconstruction of the loss requires comprehensive and careful planning to fulfill not only functional but also esthetic demand. Prosthetic approach can avoid surgically extensive intervention, reducing both treatment cost and time. This clinical report describes a 78-year-old woman with the loss of teeth and alveolar bone in maxillary anterior region due to a traumatic fall, rehabilitated with a metal-ceramic fixed dental prosthesis using gingival porcelain.

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a blood dyscrasia characterized by hypocelluar bone marrow and peripheral blood pancytopenia. Symptomatology depends on the severity of pancytopenia. Patients with AA are susceptible to infection because of agranulocytosis. Hemorrhage caused by thrombocytopenia can be fetal to these patients. Therefore dental procedure potentially can cause serious complications and should be applied with caution. A 6-year-old boy with moderate aplastic anemia was referred to treat dental caries. General dental procedure including resin filling, preformed crown, pulpectomy and extraction was performed under sedation. Combination of modalities such as platelet transfusion, oral hygiene instruction, and dental prophylaxis was also implemented. In this report, the dental and medical management of a patient with AA was presented. Interdisciplinary care should be administered to patients with AA.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive and secondary analytical study that uses panel data to analysis of unmet healthcare needs and risk factors for improving life care of osteoporosis patients. Methods: The subjects of this study were 941 patients who were diagnosed with osteoporosis using Korea Medical Panel 2015 data(β-version 1.0). Data analysis was performed using Chi-Square and logistic regression using SPSS/win 22.0. Results: The unmet healthcare needs of osteoporosis patients were 22.6%. The factors of unmet healthcare needs were education level and age in Model I of demographic factors, and eating problems, memory problems, activity limitation, and disability in Model II. In Model III, which added socio-psychological factors, eating problems, memory problems, Total family income, and pain/Discomfort were identified. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it should be considered in the planning of medical policies to improve the life care of osteoporosis patients, and it is necessary to improve access to medical services and to prevent and mediate realistically to reduce unmet healthcare needs.

Now a days, U-healthcare comes into the spotlight as a new business model which combines RFID technology with medical service in the well-being era and IT popularization. U-healthcare service needs a method that can deals with hand-writing, overlap data, forgery and falsification of data, difference between information version that happen in medical process because of graft between RFID technology and u-healthcare. This paper proposes RFID based user certification protocol to protect user's privacy who gets medical service through U-healthcare. In the protocol, secret information of patient does the XOR with the secret key that is created in the hospital to reconsider the stability of security system of U-healthcare and user's data forgery and falsification and privacy and then saves it in the secret key field of patient in DB table. Also, it informs the case of illegal access to certification server and make it approved the access of u-healthcare service by differentiating whether u-healthcare is illegal or not.

Because chronic pain disorder may has multiple causes or contributing factors, including physical, psychological, and socio-environmental variables, the treatment of patients with the disorder requires biopsychosocial approaches in a multidisciplinary setting. In treating chronic pain, it is important to address functioning as well as pain, and treatment should be to increase functional capacity and manage the pain as opposed to curing it. Therefore treatment goal should be adaptation to pain or minimizing pain with corresponding greater functioning. Treatment begins with the initial assessment, which includes evaluation of psychophysiologic mechanisms, operant mechanisms, and overt psychiatric comorbidity. Psychiatric treatment of the patients requires adherence to sound pharmacologic and behavioral principles. There are four categories of drugs useful to psychiatrist in the management of chronic pain patients : 1) narcotic analgesics, 2) nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, 3) psychotropic medications, and 4) anticonvulsants, but antidepressants are the most valuable drugs in pharmnacotherpy for them. Psychological treatments tend to emphasize behavioral and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which are divided into self-management techniques and operant techniques. Psychodynamic and insight-oriented therapies are indicated to some patients with long-standing interpersonal dysfunction or a history of childhood abuse.

With rapid development and contribution of IT technology IT fushion healthcare service which is a form of future care has been changed a lot. Specially, as IT technology unites with healthcare, because delicate personal medical information is exposed and user's privacy is invaded, we need preperation. In this paper, u-healthcare service model which can manage patient's ID information as user's condition and access level is proposed to protect user's privacy. The proposed model is distinguished by identification, certification of hospital, access control of medical record, and diagnosis of patient to utilize it efficiently in real life. Also, it prevents leak of medical record and invasion of privacy by others by adapting user's ID as divided by user's security level and authority to protect privacy on user's information shared by hospitals.

The purpose of this paper is to reduce the ratio of the patient accidents that may occur in nursing hospitals. In other words, it determines whether the person approaching the dangerous area is a elderly (patient uniform) group or a practitioner(Casual Clothing) group, based on the clothing displayed by CCTV. We collected the basic learning data from web crawling techniques and nursing hospitals. Then model training data was created with Image Generator and Labeling program. Due to the limited performance of CCTV, it is difficult to create a good model with both high accuracy and speed. Therefore, we implemented the ResNet model with relatively excellent accuracy and the YOLO3 model with relatively excellent speed. Then we wanted to allow nursing hospitals to choose a model that they wanted. As a result of the study, we implemented a model that can distinguish patient and casual clothes with appropriate accuracy. Therefore, it is believed that it will contribute to the reduction of safety accidents in nursing hospitals by preventing the elderly from accessing the danger zone.
