This paper proposes a more advanced livestock insurance product by comparing the status of livestock management in Korea with Netherlands case. The project focused on blockchain technology, IoT based management manual and planned livestock insurance related to Insurtech. The livestock insurance policy automatically stores information on each block through sensors attached to livestock, so that the livestock manager carries out follow-up manual for each livestock. Blockchain technology contains numerous advantages such as distributed ledger and irreversibility. However, the sharing of transparent information can be a burden to the policyholder. To compensate it, new business model needs to be proposed to provide incentives to the policyholder. We focused on the data of Gyeonggi Province, which suffered the most from African swine fever (ASF) in Korea. The corresponding Insurtech based livestock insurance can enable policyholders and insurers to build trust by sharing objective and transparent information, and maximize their respective profits by enabling mutual control.

We are report on three cases of typical clinical characterstics and treatment response in neuroleptic maligant syndrome(NMS), and reviewed the literatures of NMS. NMS was first recognized as a life-threatening complication of dopamine receptor antagonists, and defined as a catatonic-like states associated with fever, obtundation, muscle rigidity, and unstable vital sign in patients taking neuroleptic agents. Concepts of NMS have changed because medications other than classic neuroleptic drugs have been implicated as triggering agents and syndromes identical to NMS have been observed in other conditions. The important neurochemical features are probably functional dopamine deficiency and ensuing hyperactivity of excitatory amino acid neurotransmission in the basal ganglia and hypothalamus. Recognition of NMS and early discontinuation of neuroleptics are the most important step in its management. Supportive care includes management of hyperthermia and fluid replacement. Controversial therapeutic measures include the application of dopamine receptor agonists, excitatory amino acid antagonists, or dantrolene. Psychiatric patients with a history on NMS and psychotic relapse necessitating antipsycotics do not commonly redevelop NMS.

Though Korea has received attention through an exceptional economic growth and the big K-POP fever all over the world, its happiness level is not so high. Therefore, this research aims to find not only the Korean' s condition of the happiness and unhappiness, but also the way to enhance their happiness. We collected various web data(89,127 cases from 2013/01 to 2014/12) through searching our own 26 keywords based on Alderfer's ERG Theory. Also, we tried to analyze the subjects related to happiness and unhappiness by using LDA topic modeling. As the result, the condition of happiness and unhappiness were the top topics extracted from each field. We conducted the second detailed analysis based on the data of condition of the happiness and unhappiness which are the top topics of the previous analysis. From the second analysis result, we proposed several ways to enhance happiness from the perspective of government, corporate, family, education, social welfare.This paper is meaningful because it catches the condition of happiness and unhappiness based on a real web data as well as transform the data into the knowledge. Also, this paper provides the practical methods from the view from all walks of life that may enhance happiness and relieve unhappiness.

Management of chronic wound has been a great problem to many surgeons because the wound is usually associated with an underlying disease of the patient. Without accurate diagnosis and treatment of the disease, the wound can not be healed. Systemic vasculitis is a rare systemic disease which causes inflammation and obstruction of the vessels. This autoimmune disease involves multiple organs and may inflict skin wound spontaneously without traumas. It would improve or aggravate the wound in proportion to the activities of the disease. Our experience is a case of 28-year-old female who has had chronic ulcers on her right foot, especially on the great toe for 1 year. Although she had several operations of sympathectomy, debridement and artificial dermal graft, her wound was not improved. She has been diagnosed as systemic vasculitis during the evaluation for histopathology and cause of fever and pancytopenia. After medical treatments, she had the operation of adipofascial turnover flap coverage and skin graft, and the wound was improved without any complication or relapse. The diagnosis and treatment of the underlying disease should be ahead of the management of chronic wound.

A 49-year-old male presented with chills and a fever. Five years previously, he underwent ascending aorta and aortic arch replacement using the elephant trunk technique for DeBakey type 1 aortic dissection. The preoperative evaluation found an esophago-paraprosthetic fistula between the prosthetic graft and the esophagus. Multiple-stage surgery was performed with appropriate antibiotic and antifungal management. First, we performed esophageal exclusion and drainage of the perigraft abscess. Second, we removed the previous graft, debrided the abscess, and performed an in situ re-replacement of the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and proximal descending thoracic aorta, with separate replacement of the innominate artery, left common carotid artery, and extra-anatomical bypass of the left subclavian artery. Finally, staged esophageal reconstruction was performed via transthoracic anastomosis. The patient's postoperative course was unremarkable and the patient has done well without dietary problems or recurrent infections over one and a half years of follow-up.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop the telecommunication guideline that was possible to make the immediate, logical decisions and to evaluate the possibility of the use by verifying it from the specialists' group. Methods: Telecommunication guideline was designed with selected six symptoms which were pain, dyspnea, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and cough based on the results of literature. Results: This study showed that the patients understood well about the contents of the questions, examination, and education. Also, 85% of them fulfilled the guidelines of the adjustment and more of them were satisfied with the results shown to all of them compared to the previous telecommunication. And 95% of them replied that the information from the telecommunication was more useful than any other information sources related to the information of cancer and self management that were used previously. Conclusion: The telecommunication was considered to complement the weakness during the time the cancer patients spent at home after the treatments. Also, it was expected to be a role as an immediate and comprehensive method of decision making and a passage for information supply which was considered the specialty of individual patient related to an inquiry of the self management.

Purpose: No national survey has yet described the guidelines followed by Korean pediatricians to treat acute gastroenteritis (AGE). An online survey was performed to investigate the management of AGE followed by members of The Korean Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, and the results were compared between pediatric gastroenterologists (PG) and general pediatricians (GP). Methods: Questionnaires were sent to pediatricians between June 2 and 4, 2018 regarding the type of hospital, indications for admission, antiemetic and antidiarrheal drugs and antibiotics prescribed, and dietary changes advised. Results: Among the 400 pediatricians approached, 141 pediatricians (35.3%) responded to the survey. PG comprised 39% of the respondents and 72.7% worked at a tertiary hospital. Both PG and GP considered diarrhea or vomiting to be the primary symptom. The most common indication for hospitalization was severe dehydration (98.8%). Most pediatricians managed dehydration with intravenous fluid infusions (PG 98.2%, GP 92.9%). Antiemetics were prescribed by 87.3% of PG and 96.6% of GP. Probiotics to manage diarrhea were prescribed by 89.1% of PG and 100.0% of GP. Antibiotics were used in children with blood in diarrheal stool or high fever. Dietary changes were more commonly recommended by GP (59.3%) than by PG (27.3%) (p<0.05). Tests to identify etiological agents were performed primarily in hospitalized children. Conclusion: This survey assessing the management of pediatric AGE showed that the indications for admission and rehydration were similar between GP and PG. Drug prescriptions for diarrhea and dietary changes were slightly commonly recommended by GP than by PG.

The therapeutic approach for colon injury has changed continuously with the evolution of management strategies for trauma patients. In general, immediate laparotomy can be considered in hemodynamically unstable patients with positive findings on extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma. However, in the case of hemodynamically stable patients, an additional evaluation like computed tomography (CT) is required. Surgical treatment is often required if prominent mesenteric extravasation, free fluid, bowel infarction, and/or colon wall perforation are observed. However, immediate intervention in hemodynamically stable patients without indications for surgical treatment remains questionable. Three patients with colon and mesocolon injuries caused by blunt trauma were treated by nonoperative management. At the time of admission, they were alert and their vital signs were stable. Colon and mesocolon injuries, large hematoma, colon wall edema, and/or ischemia were revealed on CT. However, no prominent mesenteric extravasation, free fluid, bowel infarction, and/or colon wall perforation were observed. In two cases, conservative treatment was performed without worsening abdominal pain or laboratory tests. Follow-up CT showed improvement without additional treatment. In the third case, follow-up CT and percutaneous drainage were performed in considering the persistent left abdominal discomfort, fever, and elevated inflammatory markers of the patient. After that, outpatient CT showed improvement of the hematoma. In conclusion, nonoperative management can be considered as a therapeutic option for mesocolon and colon injuries caused by blunt trauma of selected cases, despite the presence of large hematoma and ischemia, if there are no clear indications for immediate intervention.

목 적 : 최근 3개월 이하의 열이 나는 영아에서 특정 임상 경과나 검사실 소견으로 확인된 일부의 환자들은 심각한 세균 감염에 대해 저위험군에 속하며 이들은 외래 치료가 가능할 수도 있다고 한다. 본원 소아과에서는 원인 없이 열이 나는 생후 28일에서 90일 사이의 어린 영아들은 패혈증 의심하에 입원하여 세균성 원인이 아니라는 것이 밝혀질 때까지는 항생제를 투여하였다. 지난 1년 동안 원인 없이 열이 나서 입원 치료한 이 연령군의 영아들을 임상적으로 분석하여 앞으로 치료 방향에 도움을 얻고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 2000년 1월부터 2000년 12월까지 울산동강병원 소아과에 원인 없이 열이 나서(직장 체온${\geq}38^{\circ}C$) 패혈증 의심하에 입원 치료하였던 131례를 대상으로 성별분포, 계절분포, 원인질환, 발열기간 등을 후향적으로 검토하였다. 또한, 심각한 세균감염증에 대한 저위험군의 환아를 식별하기 위해 흔히 사용되는 기준인 개선된 Rochester criteria를 이용하여 대상환아들을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환아 131례 중 요로감염이 60례(45.8%)로서 가장 많았고, 무균성 뇌막염이 33례(25.2%), 균혈증 2례(1.5%), 특별한 진단명을 붙일 수 없는 예가 36례(27.5%)였다. 균혈증 2례의 원인균은 Staphylococcus aureus였다. Rochester criteria의 저위험군에 속하는 예가 57례(43.5%), 그렇지 않은 군에 속하는 예가 74례(56.5%)였으며, 요로감염은 저위험군, 그렇지 않은 군은 각각 43.8%, 47.3%, 무균성 뇌막염이 각각 28.1%, 23.0%, 특별한 진단명을 붙일 수 없는 예가 각각 28.1%, 27.0%로서 두 군간의 차이가 없어 Rochester criteria가 본 연구대상 환아들에게는 이들 질환을 구별할 수 있다는 결론을 얻지 못했다. 2례의 균혈증은 모두 저위험군이 아닌 군에 속해 있었다. 남아 85례, 여아 46례로서 남녀비가 1.8 : 1이였고, Rochester criteria에 의한 저위험군과 그렇지 않은 군의 남녀비는 1.9 : 1, 1.8 : 1오서 두 군간의 차이는 없었다. 봄철과 여름철에 각각 35.1%, 36.7% 발생하여 대다수를 차지하였고 무균성 뇌막염은 봄철 16례(48.5%), 여름철 13례(39.4%), 겨울철 4례(12.1%) 발생하였는데, 봄철에 발생한 환아 중 12례는 5월에, 여름철에 발생한 13례 중 12례는 6월에 발생하여 5월과 6월에 대부분 발생하였다. 항생제 투여 후 발열이 소실되는 기간이 48시간 이내에 61.8%, 72시간 이내가 83.2%로서 48~72시간 이내에 대부분의 열이 소실되었으며, Rochester criteria에 의한 저위험군과 그렇지 않은 군의 비교시 48시간 이내가 각각 54.4%, 67.6%, 72시간 이내가 각각 78.9%, 86.5%로서 두군간의 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : 생후 28일에서 90일 사이의 원인 없이 열이 나는 어린 영아는 철저한 이학적 검사와 검사실 소견으로 저위험군에 속하는 경우 보호자가 잘 돌볼 능력이 있고 의사와 연락이 잘 되는 경우 외래 치료가 가능하겠으며, 소변 배양 검사는 채뇨백보다는 도뇨관 채뇨법이나 방광 천자로서 채취한 소변으로 검사를 실시해야 하겠다. 향후 좀 더 바람직한 치료방침을 정하기 위해서 전향적인 연구가 꼭 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
