This study examined the effects of group social support on the reduction of burden and increase in well-being of mothers of developmentally delayed children. The research used a one group pre-pose experimental design. The independent variable in the experiment was group social support. Two series of 4-weekly meetings for group social support were conducted by the researcher with the intention of developing a self-help group. The dependent variables were burden and well-being. Well-being was operationalized as physical symptoms and quality of life. Thirty mothers of developmentally delayed infants from the rehabilitation center of a medical center participated in the study. Data were collected by interviews and a self-administered questionnaire. The mean age of the subjects was 29.9 years. Changes of the dependent variables between pre and post tests were compared using the t-test. Even though there was a slight improvement in the scores for the dependent variables, they were not statistically significant. The items, "I resent my baby". "I feel angry about my interactions with my baby", "I feel guilty in my relationship with my baby" showed a significant decrease in burden score and were statistically significant. Symptoms of loneliness, constipation, anxiety, restlessness were less and feeling of happiness was greater after participation in the group social support, than on the pretest. The mothers showed emotional instability and frustrations during the group sessions but their reactions in general were positive. Emotional support, stress management and information provided were identified as the most valuable content of the sessions. However, participation was not active due to the mother's denial, delayed acceptance and /or avoidance of their infants' problems. It can be seen that group social support for the mothers with developmentally delayed children should be provided after infancy when the mothers have time to accept their children's conditions and are ready to receive support. The use of comprehensive instruments which measure burden in both families and mothers needs to be developed for future research.

This article reports the drag reduction phenomenon of aqueous suspensions containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) flowing through horizontal tubes. Stable nanofluids were prepared by using a surfactant. It is found that the drag forces of CNT nanofluids were reduced at specific flow conditions compared to the base fluid. It is found that the friction factor of CNT nanofluids was reduced up to approximately 30 % by using CNT nanofluids. Increased kinematic viscosities of CNT nanofluids are suggested to the key factors that cause the drag reduction phenomenon. In addition, transition from laminar to turbulent flow is observed to be delayed when CNT nanofluids flow in a horizontal tube, meaning that drag reduction occurs at higher flow rates, that is, at higher Reynolds numbers.

Alloplastic implants have been used to repair orbital wall fractures in most cases. Orbital hemorrhage is a rare complication of these implants and has been reported rarely in Korea. The purpose of this article is to report a late complication case focusing on their etiology and management. A 20-year-old male patient underwent open reduction with Medpor (porous polyethylene) insertion for bilateral orbital floor fractures. The initial symptom occurred with proptosis in the right side as well as vertical dystopia, which had started 4 days earlier, 8 months after surgery. Any trauma history after the surgery was not present. We performed an exploration and removal of hematoma with Medpor titanium meshed alloplastic implant. A case of delayed orbital hematoma following alloplastic implant insertion was identified. It occurred within the pseudocapsule of the implant. One week after surgery, overall symptoms improved successfully, and no complications were reported during the 11-month follow-up period. Although rare, orbital hemorrhage is a potential complication of alloplastic orbital floor implants, which may present many years after surgery. As in the case presented, delayed hematoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of late proptosis or orbital dystopia.

Purpose: The Inaba's procedure, the treatment of osmidrosis axillae, has the advantages of low recurrent rate and easy to learn, yet it produces early postoperative discomfort and scar formation by tie - over dressing. The authors modified the Inaba's procedure by using delayed suture of the incision wound and omitting tie - over dressing. The comparative study of Inaba's procedure and its modification was performed to confirm the advantages of modified procedure. Methods: The study contains the retrospective analysis of the medical records of 296 patients with osmidrosis who were treated using the Inaba's procedure from December, 1996 to February, 2007. The study also contains the prospective analysis of 20 patients, from March, 2007 to July, 2008, who were treated by the modified Inaba's procedure with delayed suture of the incision wound and gentle pressure dressing instead of tie - over dressing. The operative results of two groups were compared and verified by Mann - Whitney U test(SPSS 12.0). Results: The incidence of complications was 14.5% in the Inaba's procedure, whereas 6.2% in the modified Inaba's procedure. Both procedures have the same basic surgical procedure in terms of the location of incision site and subdermal shaving of the sweat glands, and therefore similar good results were obtained in the aspect of postoperative axillary odor, recurrent rate and postoperative condition of axillary hair. Certainly, the modified Inaba's procedure had better outcome in each element of PSS(Patient Scar Self-Rating Scale), compared to the Inaba's procedure. In addition, the modified Inaba's procedure showed a statistical significance in dressing - related pain reduction and overall satisfaction. Conclusion: The modified Inaba's procedure had advantages of decreased early postoperative complications such as hematoma, discomfort and pain caused by tie - over dressing, and decreased scar formation. However, the drawback was delayed suture of the incision wound after 48 hours.

This paper describes a novel global on-chip interconnect scheme, in which a one UI-delayed symbol as well as the current symbol is sent for easing the sensing operation at receiver end. With this approach, the voltage swing on the channel for reliable sensing can be reduced, resulting in performance improvement in terms of power consumption, peak current, and delay spread due to PVT variations, as compared to the conventional repeater insertion schemes. Evaluation for on-chip interconnects having various lengths in a 130 nm CMOS process indicated that the proposed on-chip interconnect scheme achieved a power reduction of up to 71.3%. The peak current during data transmission and the delay spread due to PVT variations were also reduced by as much as 52.1% and 65.3%, respectively.

Objective : The reliability of transcranial doppler sonography(TCD) for predicting delayed ischemic neurologic deficit( DIND) was investigated in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH). Methods : The velocity of blood flow through the middle cerebral artery was measured by TCD in 70 patients treated surgically within 72 hours due to ruptured cerebral aneurysm. A correlation between measured maximal mean blood flow velocities and clinical factors including age, hypertension, Hunt-Hess grade, Fisher grade, DIND, and outcome was made. Results : An age-dependent reduction of the measured maximal mean velocities was found(r＝-0.4043, p<0.001). Flow velocities in hypertensive patients were significantly lower than in the normotensive individuals(two-tailed T test, p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the flow velocities and evaluated other clinical factors. When the flow velocities of 14 patients who developed DIND were compared with those of patients without deficits, no significant difference was seen. A significant increase in flow velocities in the days before the onset of DIND was found only in 4 of 14 cases. High flow velocities did not necessarily mean impending neurological deficits : 6 of 70 patients tolerated flow velocities over 160cm/s. Conclusion : We suggest that TCD readings have limited utility for predicting DIND following SAH, especially in older or hypertensive patients. More direct measurements of blood flow are necessary to adequately predict which patients are at high risk of DIND.

Objectives: Recent studies have reported that delayed initiation of clozapine can affect clinical response in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). This study aimed to explore the relationship between delayed initiation of clozapine and acute treatment response. Methods: Sixty-five inpatients with TRS who started clozapine for the first time were included through a retrospective chart review. Acute treatment response was defined as a 30% reduction in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale score or a Clinical Global Impression of Improvement score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) at 4 weeks after initiating clozapine. Results: After meeting the TRS criteria, the mean delay for initiating clozapine was approximately 13.8 months. The delay was shorter in patients who showed a better response to clozapine in logistic regression analysis (p=0.037). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that reducing the delay in initiating clozapine increases the effectiveness of clozapine in patients with TRS.
