We reviewed 10 cases of traumatic diaphragmatic injuries at Soonchunhyang University Gumi Hospital from January 1990 through April 1993. Seven patients were male and three patients were female. The age distribution was ranged from 25 to 79 years, predominant 4th decades occurred in male. The traumatic diaphragmatic injuries were due to blunt trauma in 9 cases[traffic accident 7 and crash injury 2] and penetrating wound in 1 case[stab wound]. The common symptoms were dyspnea[60%], chest pain and abdominal pain in order frequency. In the blunt trauma and crash injury, the rupture site was all located in the left[ 9 cases ]. In the penetrating wound, the rupture site was located in the right[1 case]. The surgical repair of 10 cases were performed with transthoracic approach in 9 cases and thoracoabdominal approach in 1 case. The postoperative mortality was 10%[1/10]. The cause of death was multiple organ failure with pulmonary edema.

This paper deals with n rise in electric potential of telecommunication line for electric power system by lightning surges. When $1.2/50{\mu}s$ and $8/20{\mu}s$ impulse voltage and current were applied on telecommunication cable, the voltage waveforms at the end terminal and equipment were measured. The telecommunication lines, which consist of 60 conductors and 3.5km in length, have some surge protectors such as preposition lightning arrester and TVSS. In each case, the rise in electric potential was measured for differential mode and common mode, respectively. Also, the rise in ground potential and the induced voltages were measured and analyzed. As a result, a significant rise in ground potential was observed for lightning surge. It can cause failure or malfunction of telecommunication systems.

Background and Objectives : Decannulation failure may result from factors such as inadequate ability 0 clear secretion, mucosal induration, granulation tissue, restenosis, tracheal wall depression and vocal cord palsy. We were to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment on the basis of site and type of stenosis. Materials and Method : A series of 44 cases of decannulation difficulty between 1993 and 1997 were reviewed. The following data were collected on each of these patients : primary disease, indication for tracheostomy, site of stenosis, endoscopic findings of stenosis, surgical techniques used for treatment. Results : Primary diseases were 30 head trauma, 4 neck injury, 10 other diseases. Indication for tracheostomy were 37 prolonged intubation, 4 emergency tracheostomy, 3 laryngeal trauma. Endoscopic findings of stenosis were 24 granulation tissue, 16 laryngotracheal collapse, 4 combined with granulation tissue and collapse. Site of stenosis were 3 glottic, 9 subglottic, 24 stomal, 1 substomal, 7 mixed. 22 of 24 cases were decannulation using endoscopic treatment. Conclusion : The most common cause of failed decannulation was sternal granulation tissue. The most effective treatment of granulation tissue was endoscopic technique.

A methodology has been developed for predicting aircraft reliability incorporating both C.C.F.s(Common-Cause Failures), and phased missions. Failure behaviour of an aircraft, or it's systems are predicted. Both independent failures, and C.C.F.s, are modelled by the Markov process, and simulated using Monte Carlo sampling with the robust variance reduction method. Prediction of safety and reliability is made through discrete-event simulation of aircraft operations. A case study is described for investigating the safety and reliability of the propulsion system of two-, three- and four-engined aircraft. This is particularly important for the design of ETOPS(Extended Range of Two-Engined Aircraft Operations) and results are presented for the cases with, and without the effect of C.C.F.s.

Tricuspid atresia is the third most common cause of cyanotic heart disease, following T.O.F. and T.G.A. It is seen in about 30% of patients with congenital heart disease on postmortem examination. Recently, we experienced a case of tricuspid atresia, who had received Blalock-Taussig Shunt operation 10 years ago. The Patient was 15 year-old girl with the complaints of persistent cyanosis and exertional dyspnea. Cineangiography revealed Keith type lib tricuspid atresia, so, RA appendage was anastomosed to the right pulmonary artery and ASD was also closed using patch. Postoperative course was very difficult because of persistent right heart failure and weak respiratory power, but from postoperative 15th day, all cardiac and respiratory problems were resolved. We followed up this patient for about 1 year, and her condition is excellent up to now.

원전 디지털 계측제어시스템에서 공통원인고장(Common cause failure)의 발생 가능성이 증가함에 따라 이를 방지하기 위해 프로그래머블 논리소자(Field Programmable Gate Array)를 이용한 제어기가 개발되어 활용되고 있다. 그러나, FPGA-기반의 제어기를 구현하는데 사용되는 하드웨어 기술 언어는 그래픽 언어를 이용한 PLC 기반의 개발을 하던 대부분의 원전 계측제어 엔지니어에게 친숙하지 않아 제어기의 구현에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 엔지니어에게 친숙한 그래픽 언어를 이용하여 FPGA 용 제어 프로그램을 작성할 수 있는 통합개발환경이 필요하다. 본 논문에서 구현한 VerilogLinker 는 제어프로그램의 개발을 위한 통합개발환경의 일부로 통합개발환경을 이용한 제어 프로그램의 개발과정 중에서 생성된 Verilog 파일을 FPGA 공급자가 제공하는 상용 소프트웨어인 Libero SoC 와 연결하는 기능을 제공한다.

As diagnostic techniques have advanced, primary aldosteronism (PA) has emerged as the most common cause of secondary hypertension. The excess of aldosterone caused by PA resulted in not only cardiovascular complications, including coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and heart failure, but also cerebrovascular complications, such as stroke and transient ischemic attack. Moreover, PA is associated more closely with these conditions than is essential hypertension. In this review, we present up-to-date findings on the association between PA and cerebrovascular diseases.

The use of free flaps is an essential and reliable method of reconstruction in complex head and neck defects. Flap failure remains the most feared complication, the most common cause being pedicle thrombosis. Among other measures, thrombolysis is useful when manual thrombectomy has failed to restore flap perfusion, in the setting of late or established thrombosis, or in arterial thrombosis with distal clot propagation. We report a case of pedicle arterial thrombosis with distal clot propagation which occurred during reconstruction of a maxillectomy defect, and was successfully treated with thrombolysis using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. We also review the literature regarding the use of thrombolysis in free flap surgery, and propose an algorithm for the salvage of free flaps in head and neck reconstruction.

Currently, diabetes is the most common chronic disease in the world, affecting 23.7% of the population in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Diabetes may be the cause of lower-limb amputations, kidney failure and blindness among adults. Therefore, diagnosing the disease in its early stages is essential in order to save human lives. With the revolution in technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could play a central role in the early prediction of diabetes by employing Machine Learning (ML) technology. In this paper, we developed a diagnosis system using machine learning models for the detection of type 2 diabetes among adults, through the adoption of two different diabetes datasets: one for training and the other for the testing, to analyze and enhance the prediction accuracy. This work offers an enhanced classification accuracy as a result of employing several pre-processing methods before applying the ML models. According to the obtained results, the implemented Random Forest (RF) classifier offers the best classification accuracy with a classification score of 98.95%.
