Objectives The main aim was to quantify forward head posture using POM Checker®, a postural balance analyzer, among elementary school students. Additionally, the study aimed to investigate whether postural imbalance improved following three sessions of the school doctor program focused on body posture correction. Methods The program was conducted as part of the school doctor program in Korean Medicine, featuring lectures by a designated Korean Medicine doctor at an elementary school. The curriculum covered the importance of maintaining correct posture and included posture correction exercises. Pre- and post-program self-reported surveys were administered, alongside postural measurements taken over three months at one-month intervals. The survey included data on gender, grade, lifestyle habits, and awareness of correct posture. Result Out of 73 participating students, 63 underwent body balance measurements from the upper grades of one elementary school. Survey results revealed significant variations in daily sitting hours and weekly exercise levels. Attendance at lectures increased knowledge about correct posture. Initial measurements of forward head posture categorized 41.0% and 1.6% of participants into caution and risk groups, respectively. After the second measurement, the caution group representation decreased to 3.2%, and by the third measurement, only 1.6% of participants remained in the caution group. Conclusions Improvements in the angle and understanding of forward head posture among elementary school students were observed before and after the Korean Medicine school doctor program. However, posture improvement may be temporary, necessitating consistent follow-up management and monitoring.

Purpose. This study reported on body type perception of people aged ${\geq}19years$, regardless of gender, and on its association with disease morbidity and the quality of life and aimed to observe the effects of stress on body weight perception, disease morbidity, and the quality of life. Methods. The data from 218,899 persons aged ${\geq}19years$ who were respondents to the 2010 Community Health Survey were finally analyzed. A designated program was used to perform complex sample analysis; chi-square test was carried out to determine body type perception by the general characteristics and disease status and analyze health-related behavior and weight control behavior by body type perception, and multiple logistic regression was used to observe the effects of body type perception on mental health and the quality of life. Results. 34.9% of all the respondents misperceived their body type and females were more likely to misperceive their body type. The older they were, the more poorly they perceived their body type; those perceiving their body type poorly were significantly more susceptible to both hypertension and diabetes. When correction was made in relation to gender, age, and so on, those perceiving their body type excessively were more susceptible to hypertension (1.43[1.367-1.050]) and diabetes morbidity (1.36[1.294-1.428]). Body type perception affected the quality of life: the respondents perceiving their body type poorly (0.91[0.884-0.940]) or excessively (0.75[0.720-0.770]) showed lower quality of life than those perceiving their body type correctly. Conclusions. Distorted body type perception affected disease morbidity and the quality of life: the respondents excessively perceiving their body type were significantly more susceptible to both hypertension and diabetes and those perceiving their body type excessively or poorly showed lower quality of life than those perceiving it correctly. It is therefore necessary to make multilateral efforts to cultivate correct body type perception.

Purpose PET-CT imaging require an appropriate quality assurance system to achieve high efficiency and reliability. Quality control is essential for improving the quality of care and patient safety. Currently, there are performance evaluation methods of UN2-1994 and UN2-2001 proposed by NEMA and IEC for PET-CT image evaluation. In this study, we compare phantom images with the same experiments before and after PET-CT 3D normalization and well counter correction and evaluate the usefulness of quality control. Materials and methods Discovery 690 (General Electric Healthcare, USA) PET-CT equiptment was used to perform 3D normalization and well counter correction as recommended by GE Healthcare. Based on the recovery coefficients for the six spheres of the NEMA IEC Body Phantom recommended by the EARL. 20kBq/㎖ of ¹⁸F was injected into the sphere of the phantom and 2kBq/㎖ of ¹⁸F was injected into the body of phantom. PET-CT scan was performed with a radioacitivity ratio of 10:1. Images were reconstructed by appliying TOF+PSF+TOF, OSEM+PSF, OSEM and Gaussian filter 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6,5 mm with matrix size 128×128, slice thickness 3.75 mm, iteration 2, subset 16 conditions. The PET image was attenuation corrected using the CT images and analyzed using software program AW 4.7 (General Electric Healthcare, USA). The ROI was set to fit 6 spheres in the CT image, RC (Recovery Coefficient) was measured after fusion of PET and CT. Statistical analysis was performed wilcoxon signed rank test using R. Results Overall, after the quality control items were performed, the recovery coefficient of the phantom image increased and measured. Recovery coefficient according to the image reconstruction increased in the order TOF+PSF, TOF, OSEM+PSF, before and after quality control, RCmax increased by OSEM 0.13, OSEM+PSF 0.16, TOF 0.16, TOF+PSF 0.15 and RCmean increased by OSEM 0.09, OSEM+PSF 0.09, TOF 0.106, TOF+PSF 0.10. Both groups showed a statistically significant difference in Wilcoxon signed rank test results (P value<0.001). Conclusion PET-CT system require quality assurance to achieve high efficiency and reliability. Standardized intervals and procedures should be followed for quality control. We hope that this study will be a good opportunity to think about the importance of quality control in PET-CT

전 세계적으로 노인 인구는 급증하는 추세이며 노인 척추 변형 환자에 대한 변형 교정 수술도 점점 증가하고 있다. 그러나 노인 환자들을 대상으로 척추 변형 교정 수술 시 합병증을 줄이기 위해 고려해야 할 사항들, 그리고 수술 후 좋은 임상적인 결과를 예측하기 위한 객관적인 인자들에 대해 아직 많은 논의가 되지 않았다. 노인 척추 변형 환자에서 수술 전 고려해야 될 사항으로 Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics 및 Charlson Comorbidity Index scores 등의 지표를 이용하여 내과적 동반 질환을 확인해야 한다. 이들 지표는 술 후 합병증의 발생률과 연관이 있으며 수술 전 내과적인 질환을 조절하여 이 지표 수치를 낮춘 이후 수술을 시행할 경우 합병증을 줄일 수 있다. 두 번째, 수술 전 골밀도 검사를 시행하여 골다공증의 정도를 확인해야 한다. 심한 골다공증이 동반된 노인 척추 변형 환자의 경우 기기술과 관련된 합병증을 줄이기 위한 여러 가지 수술적인 기법들이 알려져 있으며 수술 전 골형성 유도제를 사용하여 골밀도를 교정하는 방법도 시도해볼 수 있다. 세 번째, 전 신체 시상학 정렬을 고려해야 한다. 노인 척추 변형 환자에서 고관절, 슬관절 등의 하지 관절의 퇴행성 변화와 변형을 동반하고 있는 경우가 흔하며 또한 척추의 변형이 보상작용으로 하지 관절의 변형을 일으키기도 한다. 최근 전 신체 시상학 정렬이 이전 사용되었던 척추나 골반에 국한된 지표보다 임상적인 상태를 더 잘 예측할 수 있는 것으로 보고되어 변형 교정 수술 시 전 신체 시상학 정렬을 고려하여야 하겠다. 결론으로 노인 척추 변형 환자에서 변형 교정 수술을 시행할 경우 내과적인 동반 질환, 골다공증의 정도를 확인하여 합병증을 줄이기 위해 수술 전 미리 교정하는 것이 필요하다. 또한 교정 수술 시 골반이나 척추에 국한된 지표에 비하여 임상적인 상태를 더 잘 예측할 수 있는 전 신체 시상학 정렬을 고려해야 한다.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection [TAPVC] defines a group of congenital heart disease which have in common the entire pulmonary venous drainage returning directly or indirectly to the right atrium instead of to the left atrium. Although this disorder represents only 1.3% of cases of congenital heart disease, if untreated the resultant mortality is greater than 80% in the 1st year of life. And since there is no satisfactory palliative treatment, correction of TAPVC Is high on the list of indications for open heart surgery in the 1st year of life. This paper describes 10 patients who underwent surgical correction of this disorder at SNUH between 1978 and 1983. 1. 7 were males and 3 females, with ages ranging from 5 months to 24 years. 2. 7 were supracardiac type, 2 cardiac type, and 1 mixed type TAPVC. We didnt experience infracardiac type. 3. All showed some degree of pulmonary hypertension preoperatively. 4. In 4 cases of supracardiac type, total circulatory arrest was used in brief period during anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium. In the other cases, usual cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate to deep hyperthermia was used. 5. There were 2 cases of mortality; 1 died at operation, and the other at 4 months due to congestive heart failure. 6. Mortality seemed not closely related to age, body weight, or severity of pulmonary hypertension.

Underlying dress forms for high coverage patterns are very important in the dress industry. Size 9 from brand D was chosen according to the analysis that it was the best option because a dress should have a large allowable range in one size. The criteria for selection were the dress form with a waist circumference of 63.50 centimeters, which is close to the standard size of women in Korea. Brassieres for dresses were included to enhance the aesthetic value of the correction process in producing a basic dress pattern. An experimental torso pattern was applied to evaluate the fit and suitability of the dress form that was also later verified in the process of the dress works. Three dresses were produced and presented on the chosen study dress form. The research procedures are as follows. First, the sell-through rates and feedbacks were collected from the dress form vendor. Second, a literature survey on dresses and a dress company investigation were conducted. Third, the amount of body dimension changes due to the use of a bra in the dresses were examined. Fourth, after the correction of the dress form, the torso pattern was made by draping. Fifth, the torso experimental clothing made of muslin material was evaluated. Sixth, the dress works of the top design were presented using the size 9 basic pattern developed by brand D.

This paper explains how to correctly measure the drag coefficient of a circular cylinder in wind tunnels with large blockage ratios and for the sub-critical to the super-critical flow regimes. When dealing with large blockage ratios, the drag has to be corrected for wall constraints. Different formulations for correcting blockage effect are compared for each flow regime based on drag measurements of smooth circular cylinders performed in a wind tunnel for three different blockage ratios. None of the correction model known in the literature is valid for all the flow regimes. To optimize the correction and reduce the scatter of the results, different correction models should be combined depending on the flow regime. In the sub-critical regime, the best results are obtained using Allen and Vincenti's formula or Maskell's theory with ${\varepsilon}$=0.96. In the super-critical regime, one should prefer using Glauert's formula with G=0.6 or the model of Modi and El-Sherbiny. The change in the formulations appears at the flow transition with a variation of the wake pattern when passing from sub-critical to super-critical flow regimes. This parameter being not considered in the known blockage corrections, these theories are not valid for all the flow regimes.

The paper first describes the atmospheric correction algorithm for the Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (OCTS) visible band data used at Earth Observation Center (EOC) of National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). It uses 10 candidate aerosol models including "Asian dust model" introduced in consideration of the unique feature of aerosols over the east Asian waters. Based on the observations at 670 and 865 nm bands where the reflectance of the water body can be discarded, the algorithm selects a pair of aerosol models that accounts best for the observed spectral reflectances to synthesize the aerosol reflectance in other bands. The paper also evaluates the performance of the algorithm by comparing the satellite estimates of water-leaving radiance and chlorophyll-a concentration with selected buoy-and ship-measured data. In comparison with the old CZCS-type atmospheric correction algorithm where the aerosol reflectance is as-sumed to be spectrally independent, the OCTS algorithm records factor 2-3 less error in estimating the normalized water-leaving radiances. In terms of chlorophyll-a concentration estimation, however, the accuracy stays vey similar compared to that of the CZCS-type algorithm. This is considered to be due to the nature of in-water algorithm which relies on spectral ratio of water-leaving radiances.
