The purpose of this study were to analyze the home care services and to evaluate the client's satisfaction with the home care services provided by home care service center in the C hospital. The data were collected by reviewing charts of 128 home care clients who were receiving home care services at C hospital from October 1997 to September 2000. The subjects for satisfaction of home care service were 20 clients from July 10 to September 30, 2000. The tool for measurement of present condition of home care service was developed by the researchers. The satisfactions of the home care services were measured by using the instrument developed by Im(997). The data were analyzed by using the SPSS/PC+. The results of this study were as followings : 1. Majority of the subjects was female(61.7%). The average of age was 63.5 years. The service has been used mostly by the elderly 60 years of age or older(71.1%). The economic level of most of subjects was in middle class(94.5%). 2. Majority of the subject had a cancer(55.4%), following stroke(25.0%). The average duration of disease for the subjects was 31 months. The average time of hospitalization for the subjects was 3.3 times. The duration of hospitalization was 10$\sim$30 days(26.6%), 30$\sim$60 days(23.4%) and above of the 210 days(9.4%). 3. Most of the subjects used his/her doctor (47.7%), as a consultant, following his/her nurse (28.1%), other patients or their family (21.9%). Most of reasons for a consultation were supportive management(Infusion or medication, 60.94%), following tube management(L-tube or T-tube, 25%), Foley catheter management (15.63%) etc. 4. 28 types of nursing diagnoses were used by the home care service. The nursing diagnosis altered nutrition: less than body requirement were used mostly by the home care service, following risk for infection, impaired skin integrity, impaired swallowing, ineffective airway clearance altered comfort: pain, impaired physical mobility. By the human-response pattern, exchanging(63.2%), moving(7.5%), feeling(10.4%), knowing(5.2%), communicating (2.6%), relating(0.5%) perceiving(0.4%) and choosing(0.3%). There were 42 nursing intervention types were performed by the home care service. By the NIC(nursing intervention classification. McCloskey. Bulech. 1996). physiologic: complex (30.3%) was the most, safety(28.3%), behavioral(20.0%), physiologic: basic(10.8%) and health system(1.7%). Observation or assessment was the most nursing intervention performed by the home care service. following IV infusion. vital sign observation. infusion management and fluid-electrolyte balance management. 5. The level of client's satisfaction with provided home care services showed considerably high(2.67/ 3).

Background: While 5-port laparoendoscopic radical prostatectomy is standard practice, efforts have been focused in developing a single port surgery for cosmetic reasons. However, this is still in the pioneering stage considering the challenging nature of the surgical procedures. We have therefore focused on reduced port surgery, using only 2-ports. In this study, we compared 2-port laparoendoscopic radical prostatectomy (2-port RP) and conventional 5-port laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) for clinically localized prostate carcinoma and evaluated the potential advantages of each. Materials and Methods: From January 2010 to December 2010, all 23 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer underwent LRP. Starting November, 2010, when we introduced the reduced port approach, we performed this procedure for 22 consecutive patients diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer (cT1c, cT2N0). The patients were matched 1:1 to 2-port RP or LRP for age, preoperative serum PSA level, clinical stage, biopsy and pathological Gleason grade, surgical margin status, pad-free rates and post-operative pain. Results: There was a significant difference in operative time between the 2-port RP and LRP groups ($286.5{\pm}63.3$ and $351.8{\pm}72.4$ min: p=0.0019, without any variation in blood loss (including urine) ($945.1{\pm}479.6$ vs $1271.1{\pm}871.8ml$: p=0.13). The Foley catheter indwelling period was shorter in the 2 port RP group, but without significance ($5.6{\pm}1.8$ vs $8.0{\pm}5.6$ days: p=0.057) and the total perioperative complication rates for 2 port RP and LRP were comparable at 4.5% and 8.7% (p=0.58). There was an improvement in pad-free rates up to 6 months follow-up (p=0.090), and significantly improvement at 1 year (p=0.040). PSA recurrence was 1 (4.5%) in 2-port RP and 2 (8.7%) in LRP. Continuous epidural anesthesia was used in most of LRP patients (95.7%) and in early 2-port RP patients (40.9%). In these patients, average total amount of Diclofenac sodium was 27.8mg/patient in 2-port RP and 50.0mg/patient in LRP. Conclusions: Thus the reduced port approach is as efficacious as LRP in terms of many outcome measures, with significant cosmetic advantages and reduction in post surgical pain. This method can be readily performed safely and therefore can be recommended as a standard laparoscopic surgery for prostate cancer in the future.

요도 결석은 매우 드믄 질환으로 보고된 증례가 많지 않으며, 대부분 요도 협착이나 요도 게실이 있는 남성에게서 대게 발생한다. 이에 우리는 20년 전 자동차 사고로 인한 척수 손상 후 하반신 마비가 발생한 42세 남성에서 발견된 거대 요로 결석 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 낮 동안에 다원적 증상을 가지고 있고, 고환 밑으로 종물이 만져지며 혈뇨 및 배뇨시 발생하는 통증을 보이면서 최근에는 소변이 전혀 나오지 않는 증상으로 응급실에 내원하여 비뇨기과 협진이 의뢰되었다. 고환 종물의 성상을 확인하기 위해 복부와 골반 컴퓨터 단층 촬영(CT)이 시행되었다. 검사 결과 종양은 관찰되지 않았다. 하지만, 요도 결석이 확인되었다. 우선적으로 요도성형술을 시행하여 방광루를 제거하였으며, 이후 요로 결석은 제거되었다. 2주 후에 요도조형술을 시행하였고 특이사항이 없음을 확인 후 소변줄을 제거하였다. 현재는 배뇨에 대한 특별한 문제는 없는 상태이다. 거대 요도 결석은 때때로 종양과 감별이 필요하며, 크기와 위치에 따라 치료법이 달라질 수 있어 좀 더 면밀한 검사가 필요하다.

Purpose: Endoscopic transnasal correction of the blowout fractures has many advantages over other techniques. But after removal of packing material, there were some patients with recurrence of preoperative symptoms. Authors tried to make a quantitative anterograde analysis of orbital volume change over whole perioperative period which might be related with recurrence of preoperative symptoms. Methods: 10 patients with pure medial wall fracture(Group I) and 10 patients with medial wall fracture combined with fracture of orbital floor(Group II) were selected to evaluate the final orbital volume change, who took 3 CT scans, pre-, postoperative and 4 months after packing removal. By multiplying cross - section area of orbit in coronal view with section thickness, orbital volume were calculated. Then, mean orbital volume increment after trauma, mean orbital volume decrement after endoscopic correction and volume increment after packing removal were found out. And we tried to find correlations between type of fracture, initial correction rate and final correction rate. Results: The mean orbital volume increment of the fractured orbits were 7.23% in group I and 13.69% in group II. After endoscopic surgery, mean orbital volume decrement were 11.0% in group I and 12.46% in group II. Mean volume increment after packing removal showed 3.10% in group I and 6.50% in group II. The initial correction rate(%) showed linear correlation with final correction rate(%) after packing removal. And there were negative linear correlation between increment percentage of orbital volume by fracture and final correction rate(%). Conclusion: Orbital volume was proved to be increasing after removal of packing or foley catheter and it was dependent upon type of fracture. Overcorrection should be done to improve the final result of orbital blowout fracture especially when there are severe fracture is present.

The purpose of this study was to assess the provided home health care services and to evaluate the patient's satisfaction level of received home health care services. Well trained two home health care nurses interviewed with 138 respondents who received home health care by Keimyung University Hospital from January 1st to August 31st 1999. The results were summarized as follows : 1) Among 138 respondents, $55.8\%$ were mail and $44.2\%$ were female and $70.3\%$ of them were over sixty years old. Respondents main family care givers were spouse$(53.6\%)$, daughters and sons$(36.2\%)$ and parents$(7.2\%)$. 2) $60.2\%$ of cancer patients received home health care services, $23.3\%$ of cerebral­cardiovascular patients, $7.5\%$ of endocrine disorder patients, $2.3\%$ of those who have indwelling foley catheter patients, $1.5\%$ of those who have respiratory problems and others$(5.2\%)$. 3) $88.1\%$ of respondents were satisfied with the number of home visits they received. $50.5\%$ of respondents' were received 1 to 3 times of home visits by home health care nurse per month. $48.6\%$ of respondents answered they were introduced by attending doctors or nurses to home health care services. $55.8\%$ of respondents answered registration to home health care services was simple and easy. $97.4\%$ of respondents answered home health care payment system was adequate. $64.9\%$ of respondents answered the cost of home health care per visit was adequate and comfortable. 4) Health education, counselling, physical assessment was provided to most of the patients. Those who suffered with cerebral-cardiovascular disease was needed hands on direct care most of all. The least home health care service provided was medication. 5) The satisfaction measurement tool was composed with 13 items and 3 score scale. The mean score of satisfaction on provided home health care services was 2.67 out of 3. Among 13 items. 'home health care service was kind enough' was highest(2.84). 'nurse use precise word to understand and communicate'. 'nurse gave home visiting notice ahead of time and kept the home visiting promise on time' was 2.83. 'whenever I need home health care nurse I can give a call and meet the nurse' was lowest 2.41. Special Home Health care programs such as comprehensive hospice care programs for elders over sixty years old should be organized. Adequate and standardized home health care payment system should be developed as soon as possible. In korean family situation. when family members are getting sick and stay at home. family members were taking care of the patients. special program such as counselling family members are needed.

PET/CT 검사에서 환자의 움직임이나 높은 비방사능에 의해 냉소 인공물(washed-out artifact)이 발생하여 육안적 판독 및 정량평가의 정확성을 감소시킬 가능성이 있다. GE PET/CT 장비의 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘은 영상에 발생한 냉소 인공물을 제거하여 영상을 회복시켜주는 알고리즘이다. 본 연구의 목적은 팬텀 실험을 통해 높은 비방사능에 의해 냉소 인공물이 발생한 영상에 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘을 적용하였을 때 기존의 정량 값으로 회복 가능한 비방사능의 역치 값을 측정하고, 냉소 인공물이 발생한 임상 환자 영상에 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘을 적용하여 보정 전과 후의 영상을 비교 분석하고자 한다. $^{68}Ge$ 실린더 팬텀 영상에 냉소 인공물을 발생시키기 위해 임의의 $^{18}F$ 선원의 비방사능이 20 ~ 20,000 kBq/ml 가 되도록 20 단계로 분주하고 $^{18}F$ 선원의 CT 영상과 PET 영상간에 불일치(mis-registration) 정도가 없을 때, 불일치가 각각 1, 2, 3, 4 cm 일 때의 영상을 획득하였다. 또한 본원에서 $^{18}F-FDG$ Fusion Whole Body PET/CT 검사를 시행한 환자 중 유치 도뇨관 내에 높은 비방사능에 의해 냉소 인공물이 발생한 34명의 환자를 대상으로, CT 영상과 PET 영상간의 불일치 정도(cm), 인공물을 발생시키는 원인이 되는 비방사능의 수치(kBq/ml), 인공물이 발생한 단면 내 근육에서의 $SUV_{mean}$, 인공물이 발생한 단면 내 병변에서의 $SUV_{max}$, 인공물이 발생하지 않은 단면 내 병변에서의 $SUV_{max}$를 측정하였다. 통계는 보정 전과 후의 차이를 비교하기 위해 대응 표본 t 검정을 시행하였다. 팬텀 실험에서는 $^{18}F$ 선원의 비방사능이 커질수록 $^{68}Ge$ 실린더 팬텀의 $SUV_{mean}$가 감소하였다. 불일치 거리가 커질수록 $SUV_{mean}$가 급격히 저하 되었지만 반대로 보정 효과는 더 크게 나타났다. 비방사능 50 kBq/ml 이하에서는 모든 조건에서 육안적으로도 냉소 인공물이 발생하지 않았으며 $SUV_{mean}$에도 차이가 없었다. 불일치가 없을 때와 1 cm 차이가 있을 때는 120 kBq/ml 이하부터 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘을 적용 할 때 기존 $SUV_{mean}$(0.95)와 동일하게 회복 되었고, 2 cm와 3 cm 차이에서는 100 kBq/ml 이하부터, 4 cm 차이에서는 80 kBq/ml 이하부터 기존 $SUV_{mean}$와 동일하게 회복 되었다. 임상 환자 34명의 영상을 분석한 결과, 불일치 평균 거리는 2.02 cm 이었고, 냉소 인공물을 발생시키는 평균 비방사능은 490.15 kBq/ml 이었다. 인공물이 발생한 단면 내 근육의 $SUV_{mean}$와 병변의 $SUV_{max}$는 보정 전 후 각각 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었지만(t=-13.805, p=0.000) (t=-2.851, p=0.012), 인공물이 발생하지 않은 단면 내 병변의 $SUV_{max}$는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(t=-1.173, p=0.250). GE PET/CT 장비의 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘은 임상 검사에서 환자의 심한 움직임뿐만 아니라 높은 비방사능의 미세한 움직임에 의해 발생한 냉소 인공물을 제거하여 영상을 회복해 주는 알고리즘이다. 냉소 인공물이 발생 하였을 때 산란제한 보정 알고리즘 적용 후 그 원인이 되는 비방사능의 수치, CT 영상과 PET 영상의 불일치 거리 등을 감안하여 영상을 분석한다면 냉소 인공물 부위의 재촬영 없이, 육안적 판독 및 정량 값을 더 정확하게 평가 하는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료 된다.
