Intraosseous lipoma is rarely reported in the literature, despite the fact that lipocytes are found as normal components of medullary bone. It is a primary bone tumor that originate from within the medullary cavity. The incidence of intraosseous lipoma has been reported as less than one per thousand bone tumor. The authors experienced a patient who had the findings of bilateral intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneus. We report a case of bilateral intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneus with brief review of literature.

In this study, 26 cases of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax experienced at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Chungnam National University Hospital during from 1985 to August 1989 were analyzed retrospectively. The results were as follows; 1. The incidence of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax was 13.5 % and sex ratio was 7.7:1 with male preponderance. 2. Among the nonsimultaneously occurring cases of bilateral pneumothorax, 12 patients [75 %] were developed at contralateral side within a year. 3. The most patients [65.4%] belonged to the age group between 15 and 25 year-old, and among 57 male patients suffered spontaneous pneumothorax in the same age group, 16 cases[28%] developed bilaterally. 4. The etiologic factors were as follows; blebs or bullae; 65.4 %, tuberculosis; 15.4 %, unknown; 19.2 %. 5. In the method of treatment, 15 patients were treated by closed tube thoracotomy and underwater-seal drainage only, 10 patients were treated by open thoracotomy. One patient died of respiratory failure due to severe destructed lung.

Bilateral coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistulas are very rare anomaly. Echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography of two patients having chest pain and dyspnea showed bilateral coronary to pulmonary artery fistulas. One patient had left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis and the other patient had cystic tumor. We report the good results of the surgical treatment of two patients with bilateral coronary to pulmonary artery fistulas.

Spontaneous pneumothorax is a common clinical problem in emergency care. However, the overall incidences of primary spontaneous pneumothorax has been reported from as low as 1.4% to 7.6%. The clinical findings of simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax can be variable. Clinical presentation is variable, ranging from mild dyspnea to tension pneumothorax. Bilateral tension pneumothorax can defined as cases where no tracheal deviation is detected in chest X-ray, and symptoms may be equal bilaterally. Herein, we present a case with simultaneous bilateral tension pneumothorax, severely deteriorated (i.e. with loss of consciousness, cyanosis, and hemodynamically unstable), that was successfully treated with immediate large-size needle decompression.

최근 ToF(Time-of-Flight) 방식의 깊이 센서 카메라가 깊이 영상 획득에 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 ToF 깊이 카메라가 제공하는 깊이 영상은 센서의 물리적 한계로 인해 잡음이 존재한다. 따라서 고품질의 깊이 영상을 얻기 위해서는 깊이 영상의 잡음을 제거해 주는 것이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 깊이 영상의 잡음 제거에는 joint bilateral filter 를 사용한다. Joint bilateral filter 는 기준 화소와 그 주변 화소의 색상 영상의 밝기 차이값과 화소간 거리값에 각각 가우시안 함수를 적용하여 joint histogram 을 생성하고 그 평균값을 기준 화소의 깊이값으로 채운다. 하지만 이 과정에서 깊이 영상의 경계 영역에서 흐려짐 현상이 발생한다. 경계영역에 발생한 흐려짐 현상은 최종적인 3D 입체 콘텐츠의 품질을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 joint histogram 의 최고점을 찾아 기준 화소의 깊이값을 채우는 기법을 제안한다. 최고점 탐색을 통해 기존 기법의 평균값을 통해 생기는 흐려짐 현상을 줄이고 깊이 영상의 경계를 보존하면서 잡음을 제거하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 기법의 우수성을 확인하였다.

An unusual case is presented as bilateral, complete digital duplication of the hand in a 32-year-old man. Radiographic evaluation showed complete duplication of intact phalanges and metacarpal bones in both hands. Although polydactyly of the hand is reported to occur among approximately 1 in 1000 live births, most of these malformations are rudimentary skin tags. Complete postaxial polydactyly is uncommon; it occurs in approximately 0.014% of all live births. The main goal of the surgical treatment is to establish adequate function and appearance. This case reports the preoperative evaluation and management of bilateral postaxial type III duplication of the fingers.

본 논문에서는 영상처리에서 많이 사용하는 bilateral filtering과 mean shift segmentation을 이용하여 일반적인 사진을 수채화 스타일로 변환하는 기법에 대하여 제안한다. 먼저 bilateral filtering을 이용하여 사진의 외곽선 부분은 보존하면서 고주파 성분을 약화시키도록 한다. 그리고 bilateral filtering된 영상에서 mean shift segmentation을 수행하여 수채화 스타일의 영상을 생성한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법으로 다양한 사진에 대하여 실험한 결과 수채화 스타일로 잘 변화되는 것을 확인하였으며 특히 주광에서 촬영한 풍경 사진들에 대하여 보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

The objective of this paper is to design a force feedback controller for bilateral control of a master-slave manipulator system. In a bilateral control system. the motion of the master device is followed by the save one. while the force applied to the slave is reflected on the master. In this paper, a proposed controller applied to the system. Adding a switching control term to control input. robustness is improved. Also the knowledge of the system dynamics is not needed. The computer simulation results show the performance of the proposed controller.

In this paper, we propose the bilateral filter based on median value that can reduce random noise and impulse noise with minimal loss of contour information. In general, EO / IR camera to generate a random or impulse noise due to a number of reasons. This noise reduces the performance of detecting and tracking by signal processing. To reduce noise, our proposed bilateral filter sorts the values of the target pixel and the peripheral pixels, and extracts a median filter coefficients of the Gaussian type. Then to extract the Gaussian filter coefficient involved with the distance between the center pixel and the surrounding pixels. As using those filter coefficients, our proposed method can remove the various noise effectively while minimizing the loss of the contour information. To validate our proposed method, we present experimental results for several IR images.

Background: Bilateral Tessier number 3 clefts are extremely rare, and their surgical treatments have not been well established. Case presentation: The authors describe the case of a patient with a right Tessier number 3, 11 facial cleft with microphthalmia, a left Tessier number 3 facial cleft with anophthalmia, and cleft palate. We repaired simultaneously the bilateral soft tissue clefts by premaxillary repositioning, cleft lip repair, facial cleft repair by nasal lengthening, midfacial advancement, and an upper eyelid transposition flap with repositioning both the medial canthi. Postoperatively, the patient showed an esthetically acceptable face without unnatural scars. Conclusions: We achieved good results functionally and esthetically by midfacial advancement with facial muscle reposition instead of traditional interdigitating Z-plasties. The surgical modality of our anatomical repair and 3 months follow-up results are presented.
