  • Purpose: Since its implementation, flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FBS) has played an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of tracheobronchial tree and pulmonary disease. Although FBS is often performed by endoscopists, it has also been performed by surgeons, albeit rarely. This study investigated FBS from the surgeon's perspective. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent FBS performed by a single thoracic surgeon between March 2017 and December 2021. Accordingly, the epidemiology, purpose, results, and complications of FBS were analyzed. Results: A total of 47 patients received FBS, whereas 13 patients underwent repeat FBS. Their mean age was 60.7 years. The main organs injured involved the chest (n=22), brain (n=9), abdominal organ (n=7), cervical spine (n=4), extremities (n=4), and face (n=1). The average Injury Severity Score was 22.5. Indications for FBS included atelectasis or haziness on chest x-ray (n=34), pneumonia (n=17), difficult ventilator management (n=7), percutaneous dilatory tracheostomy (n=3), blood aspiration (n=2), foreign body removal (n=2), and intubation due to a difficult airway (n=1). The findings of FBS were mucous plugs (n=36), blood and blood clots (n=16), percutaneous dilatory tracheostomy (n=3), foreign bodies (n=2), granulation tissue at the tracheostomy site (n=2), tracheostomy tube malposition (n=1), bronchus spasm (n=1), difficult airway intubation (n=1), and negative findings (n=5). None of the patients developed complications. Conclusions: FBS is an important modality in the trauma field that allows for the possibility of diagnosis and therapy. With sufficient practice, surgeons may safely perform FBS at the bedside with relative ease.

  • 소아의 다양한 응급질환 중 급성 폐질환 또는 급성 기도질환은 영상의학과 의사가 자주 대하게 되는 임상 상황이며, 일차적으로 시행되는 영상검사는 흉부 방사선사진이다. 따라서 다양한 임상 상황에서의 감별진단과 영상 소견을 숙지하는 것이 중요하다. 본 종설에서는 급성폐질환의 다양한 원인과 폐렴을 알아보고, 폐렴과 감별해야 하는 급성 폐질환을 생각해보았다. 급성 기도질환으로는 크룹, 급성 후두염, 기관연화증, 천식, 감염 후 폐쇄세기관지염, 그리고 이물 흡인을 검토하였다. 이렇게 소아에서 고려해야 할 질환들의 영상 소견을 검토하여 진단과 치료에 도움을 줄 수 있길 바란다.

  • The aim of this study is to develop basic artificial neural network models in forecasting the in-sample gross domestic product (GDP) of Malaysia. GDP is one of the main indicators in presenting the macro economic condition of a country as set by the world authority bodies such as the World Bank. Hence, this study uses an artificial neural network-based approach to make predictions concerning the economic growth of Malaysia. This method has been proposed due to its ability to overcome multicollinearity among variables, as well as the ability to cope with non-linear problems in Malaysia's growth data. The selected inputs and outputs are based on the previous literatures as well as the economic growth theory. Therefore, the selected inputs are exports, imports, private consumption, government expenditure, consumer price index (CPI), inflation rate, foreign direct investment (FDI) and money supply, which includes M1 and M2. Whilst, the output is real gross domestic product growth rate. The results of this study showed that the neural network method gives the smallest value of mean error which is 0.81 percent with a total difference of 0.70 percent. This implies that the neural network model is appropriate and is a relevant method in forecasting the economic growth of Malaysia.

  • The study examines the impact of corporate governance mechanisms, such as board characteristics on corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD). The data on CSRD items and board characteristics have been collected by content analysis of the annual reports of 30 publicly-listed banks in Bangladesh covering six years, from 2013 to 2018. More specifically, the directors' report, the chairman's statement, notes to the financial statement and CSR disclosure reports included in annual reports were used to collect the CSRD data. The empirical analysis applies the ordinary least square and the generalized method of moments. The results of the study have revealed that board size, board independence, female board member, and foreign directors have a significant positive impact on CSRD. By contrast, political directors and audit committee size have a negative impact on CSRD. Interestingly, accounting experts on boards ensure more CSRD as they curb the influence of politicians on the board. Thus, it is better to increase accounting experts and decrease politicians on the board. These findings provide valuable insights into the process of forming a suitable CSR policy by connecting the efforts of the board, government, and regulatory bodies to enhance the performance of banks to CSR as well as to CSRD.

  • Impalement injury is the subset of penetrating trauma, defined as fixed, elongated objects penetrate and remain in the human body cavity or region by relatively low velocity. We report an unusual case of facial and neck impalement where two dirty rusted iron bars penetrated forehead bilaterally and exited neck and ear respectively without causing major organ injuries. After thorough radiologic and physical evaluation, the patient got medical and surgical treatment. The patient was discharged without complication after four day of delayed wound closure. There have been no complications and sequelaes related with trauma, wound infection and scar contracture at 3-year follow-up. According to affected organs and pattern of impalement, individualized and multidisciplinary surgical approach should be considered. Following these guidelines as in this case, it was possible to achieve excellent clinical outcome in impalement injury.

  • Intraoperative breakage of instruments can be occurred unexpectedly. To prevent damage of neighboring important anatomic structures and consequent complications, broken instruments should be removed as soon as possible. There have been several methods to remove broken instruments. One of them is the Carm fluoroscopy which is commonly used for locating metal foreign bodies. However, its application for removal of broken instruments in the oral and maxillofacial area is not common. In our experiences with the removal of two broken instruments in mandibular area, the newly developed dental mini C-arm was used to find broken instrument in soft tissue, because it gives real-time in situ information for the intraoperative location. We report two cases with broken instruments, a broken dental needle in the pterygomandibular space and a broken straight bur in the mandibular angle area. They were identified and could be removed safely using a dental mini C-arm.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of intra- and postoperative complications of orthognathic surgery and their relevance. Materials and Methods: The clinical records and X-rays of 418 patients who underwent surgery at Chosun University Dental Hospital, Korea, over a 12-year period between 1998 and 2009 were examined. Results: The followings are some of the most common complications which happened during the oper-ations: Inadequate osteotomy in 25 cases, excessive bleeding in 11 cases, nerve injuries in 6 cases, soft tis-sue injuries in 8 cases, and tooth injury, and insertion of foreign bodies in 4 cases respectively. The most frequent complications which happened after surgery are shown below. Paraesthesia in 262 cases, dyspnea in 78 cases, pain in cervical region in 49 cases, open bite in 14 cases, plus 62 cases where other complications occurred. Despite the great variety of complications, severe life threatening complication frequency seems to be extremely low. Conclusion: Orthognathic surgery appears to be a relatively safe procedure but complications related to orthognathic surgery do still occur. Accurate evaluation and precise surgery are needed to minimize complications.

  • 여러 개의 자석을 삼킨 경우 자석들이 서로 잡아당겨 압력 괴사로 인한 장폐쇄, 장천공, 누공 형성 등의 합병증을 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 영 유아나 정신과적인 문제가 있는 큰 아이의 경우 자석이나 자석이 포함된 장난감과 같은 물건들을 멀리하고, 자석을 삼킨 경우에는 즉시 확인해 보아야 한다. 저자들은 1년 전부터 주기성 구토를 호소했던 중등도 정신지체를 가진 12세 남아에서 삼킨 장난감 자석 4개로 인해 위-십이지장 누공을 형성하였고 수술 후 호전된 1예를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

  • 관상동맥질환에서 경피적 관상동맥 중재술 시 IVUS는 혈관내강과 혈관벽의 상태 죽상경화의 위치 및 범위, 중재술 후의 혈관내강의 상태에 대한 다양한 정보를 제공한다. 근래에 스텐트 삽입 후 IVUS의 사용이 점차 증가하는 추세이지만 장기적 유용성은 아직 입증되지는 않았다. 스텐트 삽입술 후 IVUS로 확인하는 과정에서 카테터가 포획되었고 이를 제거라는 과정 중 골절이 발생한 경우를 외과적으로 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
