Radiation Therapy(RT) has been used in the treatment of breast cancer for over 80 years. Technically, it should include a part or all of such areas as chest wall or breast, axilla, internal mammary nodes(IM) and supraclavicular nodes (SCL). Authors tried three-field technique for the treatment of breast cancer using 6 MV linear accelerator, exclusively the department of Radiology, Kang-Nam St. Mary's Hospital, at Catholic Medical College. The field junction was checked by a phantom study and radiation doses measured by film densitometry and TLD. The 3 fields we used in this study were two isocentric opposing tangential fields encompassing the breast, chest wall and occasionally IM and one single anterior field encompassing the axilla and SCL. Using appropriate beam blocks and blouses, we were able to avoid unwanted intrinsic divergency of photon beam. Blocking also enabled us to set-up precise radiation field with ease.

Current treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) include prolonged courses of antibiotics, retinoids, immunosuppressants, and biologics. Severe cases that are resistant to prolonged medical treatment pose a therapeutic challenge. We propose radical excision and lateral thoracic flap reconstruction as a treatment option for such cases. In our experience with two patients, good aesthetic and functional outcomes were achieved, with a high level of patient satisfaction. The availability of suitable flap coverage allows for wide resection of all of the hair-bearing skin, leading to a low incidence of residual disease and subsequent recurrence. Following excision of the affected tissue, the ideal reconstructive method in the axilla provides suitable coverage without unacceptable donor site morbidity and also avoids axillary contractures. A long lateral thoracic flap with delay has excellent coverage with minimal donor tissue sacrifice. With a suitable flap coverage option, the management paradigm of intractable HS should shift from prolonged medical treatment to allow decisive radical excision, which will improve the quality of life for patients.

Objectives : The research was conducted for the use of HT1 in the shoulder disease through correct acupuncture. Methods : (1) The contents were compared through reviewing literature. (2) The literature was studied in conjunction with the shoulder pathology and anatomical structures. Results : (1) The location of HT1 is described as 'in the axilla, over the axillary artery' in many literature, and the depth of HT1 is as shallow as 1 cm. The WHO standard also follows this. (2) There were many references to 'in the axilla, between the big muscles' in later generations, but there were mixed opinions about the exact muscle names. Based on the acupunctural review and the musculoskeletal study, the big muscles are considered to be 'Pectoralis major' and 'Latissimus dorsi'. (3) Among the muscles constituting the rotator cuff, applying acupuncture on HT1 is essential for 'Subscapularis m.'. Therefore, it is effective to stimulate 'Subscapularis m.' to a depth of 1.5 to 4 cm. Conclusions : The accurate acupoint of HT1 enables various uses of flank, armpit, shoulder and arm diseases as well as cardiopathy. Especially, it helps to treat the muscles through safe and effective acupuncture in shoulder rotator cuff disorder.

The knitting method of the sleeves for improving movement adaptability were studied in this paper. The purpose of this study is proposing a knitting method that is suitable for the bodies of women in their 20's and can enhance wearing satisfaction. To see the effect of the bind-off length at the axilla, a movement adaptability test was undertaken for 4 samples that have bind-off at bodices. In addition to that, the analysis of their sliding distance with respect to the human motions were executed. The results of this study were listed below. Its result was that the samples with small bind-off lengths represent better wearing satisfaction than the samples which have large bind-off lengths. The comparison of the sliding distances at the hem, waist and sleeves with respect to the tester's motions also shows that the sample having small bind-off makes better result than the sample with large bind-off. It was observed that the optimal length of bind-off was 2cm for the improvement of the sleeve functionality.

Objective: This study was conducted to apply skin mobilization to patients with Axillary web syndrome following breast cancer resection and to see the resulting changes in pain and joint range of motion. Design: Single case study,pre-post comparison. Methods: The subject was a female patient in her 40s who performed a mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer, and then complained of uncomfortable pain from the shoulder joint to the axilla and limited range of motion. To implement a skin mobilization, the palms were adhered to the inner half of the arm, the arms were raised to a pain-free extent, and skin mobilization was performed. The skin was pulled in the direction of axilla and kept for 5 seconds 10 times for a total of 2 sets. Immediate changes in range of motion and pain were identified. Results: Following skin mobilization, there was an immediate increase in range of motion (pre 116°, post 140°) and a decrease in pain (NRS pre 5, post 2). And also uncomfortable pain, which is hard to define in words, also seems to have improved. Conclusions: Skin mobilization, which considers skin mobility for patients with Axillary web syndrome, can be considered for improving range of motion and restoring function in patients with pain due to fibrous bands around veins and lymphatic vessels, and is recommended as a new intervention method not used as a conventional treatment.

It is known that an interesting and unusual axillary artery thrombosis may develop over a period of time if an improperly adjusted crutch impinges repeatedly on the axilla. A 39 year-old male developed occlusion of left axillary artery and gangrenes of the left fingers after he had used axillary crutch for 25 years because of limping of the left leg resulting from poliomyelitis. The left hand was salvaged by successful thrombectomy. We report this case, review and discuss the literatures.

Cystic hygroma is a cystic tumor developed by lymphatic stasis due to congenital blockage of regional lymphatic drainage. It ususally occurs at neck and axilla. However, in some cases of cervical cystic hygroma, cervical portions of the cysts may extend into the mediastinum. We experienced a case of huge cervico-mediastinal cystic tumor in 11 month old girl presenting a large fluctuating neck mass and severe respiratory distress. Surgical resection was done through combined approach of cervical incision and median sternotomy. Pathological diagnosis was confirmed to cervico-mediastinal cystic hygroma.
