  • Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are common worldwide and cover a wide range of disorders attributable to the gastrointestinal tract that cannot be explained by structural or biochemical abnormalities. The diagnosis of these disorders relies on the symptom-based Rome criteria. In 2016 the Rome criteria were revised for infants/toddlers and for children and adolescents. In this review, we discuss the novel Rome IV criteria for infants and toddlers. The criteria for infant colic were drastically changed, whereas only minor changes were made for regurgitation, cyclic vomiting syndrome, functional diarrhea, infant dyschezia and functional constipation. In addition to this, the new Rome IV discusses underlying mechanisms of pain in infants and toddlers, including the neurodevelopment of nociceptive and pain pathways, the various factors that are involved in pain experience, and methods of pain assessment in infants and toddlers is essential for the clinician who encounters functional pain in this age group. Overall, the Rome IV criteria have become more distinctive for all disorders in order to improve the process of diagnosing pediatric FGIDs.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study is to suggest how to interpret the 'practice of Korean Medicine', differentiating it from 'medical practice'. Methods : I analyze the legislations and precedents regarding the practice of Korean Medicine. Results : The Korean Medicine and Pharmaceutics Promotion Act defines 'practice of Korean Medicine' and it clearly differentiates it from the definition of 'medical practice'. However, the scope of this definition is somewhat restricting and it can violate doctors of Korean Medicine's right to equality and their academic freedom. Thus, the application of this definition of the 'practice of Korean Medicine' should be limited to the field of research and development. Meanwhile, criteria of distinguishing 'practice of Korean Medicine' from 'medical practice', which used to make a sharp distinction between Medicine and Korean Medicine by rigorously applying their academic standards, are now focusing more on protecting and improving health of the people. Discussions & Conclusions : I suppose that the distinction between the 'practice of Korean Medicine' and 'medical practice' will be more focused on public health rather than the academic stance of those two medical fields. Meanwhile, in accordance with dualistic medical system, the mutual usage of medical equipment in the area of 'treatment' should be limited while it should be allowed in the area of 'diagnosis' if it satisfies requirements suggested by the Constitutional Court.

  • 이 연구는 임상병리검사학(또는 임상검사과학, 의학검사과학, 의생명검사과학)에 대한 체계적 인 접근을 하기 위해 임상병리검사학의 정체성과 학문분류체계를 가지고 논의하였다. 임상병리검사학은 한국 연구재단의 학술연구분야분류에 등재되어 있지 않다. 국내에서는 1963년 임상병리검사학과 최초로 신설된 이후 전국에 임상병리검사학과가 52개에 이르고 있다. 학문적 정체성에도 불구하고 제도적으로 임상병리검사학은 전문적 영역을 확보하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 학술연구분야분류를 보면 물리치료학, 작업치료학, 치위생학은 체계적으로 분류되어 그 학문성을 인정받고 있다. 이 연구는 임상병리검사학의 새로운 학문분류체계이다. 내용 연구는 다음과 같이 요약된다. 임상병리사의 학문은 대분류 의약학, 중분류 임상병리학, 소분류 임상병리검사학에 위치한다. 세분류의 학문용어는 "혈액수혈학, 면역생화학, 미생물기생충학, 유전분자생물학, 조직세포학, 심폐신경생리학"으로 구성한다.
