Background: Long-term comparisons of phacoemulsification with topical medication are limited in canine diabetic cataracts. Objectives: To compare outcomes of eyes submitted to phacoemulsification with those of topical medication for canine diabetic cataracts and identify risk factors for complications. Methods: Through medical records review, 150 eyes (76 dogs) with diabetic cataracts were included; 58 eyes (31 dogs) underwent phacoemulsification (phaco-group) and 92 eyes (48 dogs) received ophthalmic solution alone (medication-group). The medication-group was divided into owner-led and vet-led groups depending on who elected not to perform surgery. Comparisons involved time-to-complications, vision, and the number and type of ophthalmic solutions administered. The association between complications and pretreatment clinical findings was investigated. Results: No difference was found in complication risk between the phaco and owner-led medication groups. Conversely, the vet-led medication-group had a higher complication risk than the other groups. At the last follow-up, 94.8% of the phaco-group had vision, whereas 7.6% of the medication-group restored some visual axis. Poor glycemic control in the medication-group and younger age in the phaco-group increased complication risk. At 1-year post-treatment, the average number of ophthalmic solutions administered was 1.7 and 2.6 in the phaco and medication groups, respectively. The medication-group used anti-inflammatories the most throughout the follow-up, whereas the phaco-group used anti-inflammatories the most until 1-year post-treatment and lacrimostimulants at 1.5-year post-treatment. Conclusions: For canine diabetic cataracts, phacoemulsification is recommended because it is superior to topical management alone in terms of maintaining vision and reducing the number of ophthalmic solutions required in the long term.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of lumbar stabilization exercise on balance ability in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Methods: This study was one group pretest-posttest design. Twenty young idiopathic scoliosis patients were recruited for this study. They had the lumbar stabilization exercise program for 40 minutes a day, three times per week for 3 weeks. The lumbar trunk muscle endurance test and clinical balance tests (functional forward reach, functional lateral reach, Fukuda 50-stepping, one leg standing with eyes open and eyes closed) were measured before and after the lumbar stabilization exercise. Results: There were significant differences between pre-and post-test in absolute value of the difference between right and left lateral reach, distance of Fukud 50-stepping and one leg standing on the each side with eyes closed(p<.05). The results showed that the lumbar trunk muscle endurance significantly increased(p<.05). Conclusion: In this study indicated that the lumbar stabilization exercise was effective on balance ability and lumbar trunk muscle endurance in patients with young idiopathic scoliosis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of a balance training program using the TARGET Balance Trainer(TBT), which utilizes a visual target, on the balancing ability of normal, healthy individuals. Methods: Twelve healthy female students with an average of 20.7 years(SD=0.25), were participated in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups(6 subjects in each group); experimental group, control group. The experimental group underwent a 3-week training program using the TBT, while the control group trained using only a dynamic air cushion(DAC). Results: Compared to those who trained using only the DAC, participants who trained with the TBT had a smaller difference between the weights distributed(N) to their left and right foot while normal standing with their eyes open. The TBT group also showed a smaller discrepancy between the weights distributed(N) to their left and right sides while standing on one leg with their eyes open, and also with their eyes closed by eye band. Conclusions: TBT is effective to reduce the degree of weight shifting between left and right side in each group. This study is expected to provide a model for future clinical studies.

In this paper, we propose a method to detect contours of a face, eyes, and a mouth of a person in the color image in order to make an avatar automatically. First, we use the HSI color model to exclude the effect of various light conditions, and find skin regions in the input image by using the skin color defined on HS-plane. And then, we use deformable templates and genetic algorithm (GA) to detect contours of a face, eyes, and a mouth. Deformable templates consist of B-spline curves and control point vectors. Those represent various shapes of a face, eyes and a mouth. GA is a very useful search algorithm based on the principals of natural selection and genetics. Second, the avatar is automatically created by using GA-detected contours and Fuzzy C-Means clustering (FCM). FCM is used to reduce the number of face colors. In result, we could create avatars which look like handmade caricatures representing user's identity. Our approach differs from those generated by existing methods.

컴퓨터의 보급과 인터넷의 대중화로 컴퓨터를 통한 작업은 물론 여가 시간이나 가정에서도 컴퓨터를 이용하는 시간이 늘고 있다. 이에 따라 컴퓨터를 오래 사용하여 생기는 질환인 컴퓨터시각증후군 (Computer Vision Syndrome: CVS)도 증가하는 추세이다. CVS 증후군으로 인한 안구건조증은 컴퓨터나 TV 등 모니터를 집중하여 주시하면 자기도 모르게 눈 깜빡임이 줄어들면서 눈물이 빠르게 증발되어 생기는 질환이다. 이를 예방하기 위해서는 눈의 건조를 막기 위해 눈을 자주 깜빡거려줘야 하며, 모니터와 눈은 40cm이상 거리를 유지해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 모니터의 웹캠을 이용하여 사용자의 모니터 근접거리, 사용자의 눈 깜빡임 정도를 실시간으로 감시한 후 적절한 알림을 주는 웹 캠모니터의 실시간 알림시스템의 개발 내용에 대해 기술한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between women's face satisfaction and makeup satisfaction, to disclose the differences of makeup satisfaction according to demographic variables, and to examine how makeup satisfaction was influenced by face satisfaction and demographic variables. The subjects were 200 women over age 17 living in Seoul and its peripheral areas. The results of this study were as follows: Face satisfaction were drawn three factors. Factor 1 was face contour satisfaction, Factor 2 was skin satisfaction, and Factor 3 was lips and eyes satisfaction. There were significant positive relationship between factors of face satisfaction and makeup satisfaction. Also, the face contour satisfaction was in positive correlation with satisfaction of features, and the skin satisfaction was in positive correlation with that of features. There were significant positive correlations between makeup satisfaction and face shape, eyes, nose, lips, chin, and cheek bone satisfaction. Face satisfaction didn't show significant difference according to demographic variables, but makeup satisfaction showed significant difference according to age and occupation. Face satisfaction was influenced by the facial face, clarity of skin, elasticity of skin, skin color, and ages. The explanatory power of the 4 variables were 24.5%. Makeup satisfaction was influenced by lips and eyes satisfaction, ages, and skin care level. The explanatory power of the 3 variables were 13.3%.
