We have developed a whole-head MEG system for basic brain research and clinical application. The sensor system consists of a 152 SQUID gradiometer array oriented and located in a suitable way to cover a whole head of the human. The system measures magnetic fields generated by neuronal currents in the brain to get information on the brain activities. For this purpose, the field sensitivity determined by the position, orientation and geometry of the pickup coil as well as amplification factor of the electronic circuits should be known precisely. However, the position and orientation of the pickup coil might be changed from the designed specifications during cool down of the dewar and it is necessary to characterize the field sensitivity. In this study, we made calibration systems to determine the actual position and orientation of the 152 pickup coils and compared the localization results of the N100m source in the auditory cortex.

Background/Aims: In March 2022, the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) released the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/AAMI ST91:2021, their latest update on comprehensive, flexible, and semirigid endoscope reprocessing. These updated standards recommend the sterilization of high-risk endoscopes when possible and provide new recommendations for the precleaning, leak testing, manual cleaning, visual inspection, automated reprocessing, drying, storage, and transport of endoscopes. Methods: ANSI/AAMI ST91:2021 was compared with ANSI/AAMI ST91:2015 for major reprocessing differences that result in either time and/or cost increases. Time estimates were captured by explicit recommendation inclusion or taken from the literature. All the costs were estimated using publicly available resources. Results: The updated standards represent a potential 24.3-minute and 52.35 to 67.57 United States dollars increase per procedure in terms of reprocessing time and spending, respectively, not including capital investments. Capital costs per procedure were highly dependent on the procedure volume of the facility. Conclusions: The new AAMI standards recommend several major changes, such as sterilization, for facilities to reprocess and manage endoscopes between uses. As more facilities increase their reprocessing methods to reflect the updated standards, they do so at a cost and introduce several delays. As the reprocessing landscape evolves, facilities should consider their true costs and alternative solutions, such as single-use endoscopes.

건강정보의 교환, 통합, 공유, 검색의 표준을 개발하는 Health Level Seven(HL7)에서 발표된 표준들은 글로벌한 의료정보 서비스에 성공적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 V2.x Message와 V3 Clinical Document Architecture(CDA)는 습득하고 개발하는 데 많은 시간이 소요되는 문제점이 있다. 개선된 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources(FHIR)를 사용함으로써 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방법인지 모색한다. 개인건강기록이 사회적인 관심을 끌고 있고, 스마트폰 보급률이 급격히 증가하는 점을 반영하여 스마트폰으로 접속 가능한 개인건강기록 프로파일링 시스템을 개발한다. Furore에서 개발한 FHIR Profile editor tools을 통해 profile의 생성, 변경의 개선점을 찾아본다. 이와 같은 시스템을 구축하기 위해서 Electronic Medical Record(EMR) 시스템과 Personal Healthcare Record(PHR) 시스템 간의 정보교류를 FHIR Open API로 구성한다. PHR 프로파일링 시스템에서는 이들 트랜잭션을 RESTful 서비스로 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 FHIR를 통해 PHR 프로파일링 시스템 개발의 효율성을 검증한다.

The purpose of this study is to develop the standards of care in rehabilitation nurse specialist. This study was a descriptive survey. The data were collected 143 nurses who were worked in rehabilitation unit at 4 university hospital and 3 rehabilitation center in Korea from Aug. to Nov. 2000. The questionnaire was consisted of 78 items developed by the standards of care in rehabilitation nurse specialist in A.R.N. and the practice contents of care at rehabilitation unit in Korea. Collected data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, S.D. ANOVA The results are as follows 1. For the adequency of the practice contents of rehabilitation nursing, area of skin care is the highest score, and safety, elimination, emotion, respiration, was ordered. 2. The adequency of the practice contents of rehabilitation nursing according to age, educational level, position, clinical experience, clinical experience in rehabilitation unit were significant difference.

The purpose of this study is to understand present situation of clinical trials, and evaluate the preparedness of the desiRnated institutions to abide by GCP(Good Clinical Practice) standards during clinical trials. Survey on the status of clinical trials was conducted for the desienated 83 clinical trial hospitals, and response rate was $95.2\%$. The results showed that 39 hospitals have conducted clinical trials to obtain drug manufacturing approval from 1990 to 1994. Most of them were trials on Phase III. Only $46.8\%$ of the institutions had sufficient human resources to perform the clinical trials. Institutions which established IRB(Institutional Review Board) accounted for 41 or $51.9\%$, but those who have a protocol evaluation guideline, or Adverse Drug Reaction(ADR) reporting system were only 12, and 21 Places, respectively. Regarding supervision of the investigational drugs, less than 30 institutions designated pharmacist as a supervisor. In conducting clinical trials, $97.4\%$ of trials had high rates of prior consent of testees, but only part of them-$61.7\%$-gave written consent. The level of conducting GCP is found to be unsatisfactory. Institutions must build the appropriate infrastructure and government must prepare in order to protect testees' rights as well as to ensure validity of the results.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop standards to ensure nursing process-based care of oxygen therapy and airway suctioning and to develop a performance measurement tool to evaluate the care applied according to the standards, and finally to determine validity of the standards and the tool. Methods: The standards and the tool were reviewed by a panel of experts and refined based on the panel's suggestions. Validity of the standards and the tool were examined through surveying a total of 366 hospital nurses. Results: The mean validity scores of the performance measurement standards and the tool were 3.58 and 3.55, respectively, out of 4.00. So the performance measurement standards and the tool in this study were found to be acceptable in evaluating quality of nursing care provided at patient admission and discharge. Conclusion: This result indicates that the performance measurement standards and the tool developed in this study are valid instruments to monitor and improve quality of nursing care for oxygen therapy and airway suctioning.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 표준주의 지식과 표준주의 수행과의 관계에서 주관적 규범의 매개효과를 규명하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구의 대상자는 J도에 소재한 3개 대학교의 임상실습을 완료한 4학년 간호학과 재학생 195명이다. 수집된 자료로 SPSS 25.0 프로그램을 이용하여 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation 및 multiple regression을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 주관적 규범은 표준주의 지식과 표준주의 수행 사이에서 부분매개효과를 나타냈고, 표준주의 수행을 설명하는 설명력(R²)은 35%이었다. 따라서 간호대학생의 표준주의 수행을 촉진하기 위해서는 표준주의 지식 함양 및 이를 통해 주관적 규범을 유도할 수 있는 효과적 전략 마련이 필요하다.

The performance of electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings is affected by electrode type, electronic parameters such as filtering, amplification, signal conversion, data storage; and environmental conditions. However, no single method has been identified for optimal EEG recording quality in all situations. Therefore, we aimed to provide general principles for EEG electrode selection as well as electronic noise reduction, and to present comprehensive information regarding the acquisition of satisfactory EEG signals. The standards provided in this document may be regarded as Korean guidelines for the clinical recording of EEG data. The equipment, types and nomenclature of electrodes, and the details for EEG recording are discussed.
