This paper examines the spatial and temporal variability in the shoreline boundary caused by artificial structures in Songdo Beach of South Korea. Quickbird Images of 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2010 extracted from Google Earth were used to identify changing trends of shoreline boundary. The most significant changes were observed in area where groins were extensively established, inducing the sand beach much narrower than before in almost 75% of the area($15070.72m^2$ in 2003 to $3877.46m^2$ in 2010). The Google Earth made it possible to identify area-wide patterns of shoreline change subject to many different type of artificial structures, which cannot be acquired by traditional field sampling. Groin heights, lengths and profiles can be modified during maintenance operations if the Google Earth monitoring indicates that the initial layout is not operating properly as a physical barrier to control sediment transport. It is anticipated that this research could be used as a valuable reference to confirm the outputs from past field researches for coastal processes to respond to storms in more visual and quantitative manner.

Background To date, there are no consensus guidelines for management of lymphatic leak in groin vascular reconstruction patients. The goal of this study is to review the relevant literature to determine alternatives for treatment and to design an evidence-based algorithm to minimize cost and morbidity and maximize efficacy. Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Two independent reviewers applied agreed-upon inclusion and exclusion criteria to eligible records. Studies that included patients who underwent groin dissection for oncologic diagnoses and level 5 data were excluded. Interventions were then categorized by efficacy using predetermined criteria. Results Our search yielded 333 records, of which eight studies were included. In four studies, the success of lymphatic ligation ranged from 75% to 100%, with average days to resolution ranging from 0 to 9. Conservative management in the form of elevation, compression, and bedrest may prolong time to resolution of lymphatic leak (14-24 days) and therefore cost. Conclusions The majority of patients should be offered early operative intervention in the form of lymphatic ligation with or without a primary muscle flap. If the patient is not an operative candidate, a trial of conservative management should be attempted before other nonsurgical interventions.

This study tries to reveal influence of artificial structure construction on shoreline change using DSAS 4.3. Before breakwater extension at the Gungchon Port, beaches at the study area were dominated by long-term erosion and especially, severe shoreline retreat was prevailed at the Wonpyeong Beach that is opened to offshore. During 2 years after the extension leading formation of shadow zone, the Gungchon Beach was rapidly developed due to sand supply to the shadow zone and then stabilized. The shadow zone only affected the northern part of the Wonpyeong Beach, while beaches from the southern part of the Wonpyeong Beach to the Munam Beach was little affected. Beach nourishment and groin construction led beach development at the northern part of the Wonpyeong Beach, while beach erosion from the southern part of the Wonypeong Beach to the Munam Beach was caused by the groin. This study suggests that sufficient consideration before coastal structure construction should be made regardless of purposes.

본 연구는 화력 및 원자력 발전소로 취입된 냉각수(circulating and essential service water)가 복수기로부터 온배수 형태의 개수로 흐름으로 표층배수 될 경우 수온을 저감시키기 위해 주입하는 희석수(by-pass cooling water)와의 혼합효과의 효율성을 증대시키고, 불리한 수리현상을 야기하지 않으며, 경제적인 배수로 구조물을 고찰하기 위한 목적으로 시도되었다. 배수로 구조물 내 온배수와 희석수가 혼합되는 구간을 혼합지(mixing basin)라 하는데, 본 과업에서는 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$발전소의 배수로 구간 중 혼합지를 대상으로 FLOW-3D$^{(R)}$를 이용한 3차원 수치모형을 구축하고, 총 9개에 해당하는 각 대안별 현상을 분석하고 비교하였다. 각 대안들의 차이점은 배수로에 설치되는 보조구조물들의 형상과 배열 등이며, 복수기로부터 나오는 배출수의 수온은 $42^{\circ}C$, 희석수는 $35^{\circ}C$이고, 본 과업의 주요 관심대상 물리량은 유속과 온도이다. 배수로에 아무런 보조 구조물이 없는 형태인 기본 계획안을 검토한 결과, 평균 $3.31^{\circ}C$의 수온강하가 이루어졌으나, 우안 쪽으로 강한 흐름이 발생하여 수온의 좌우편차가 $4.61^{\circ}C$ 가량 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 기본 계획안의 검토결과를 보완하기 위한 대안으로 연직 흐름의 소산을 위해 고안된 잠형 소파블록(baffle block) 설치안은 평균 $3.06^{\circ}C$의 수온강하가 이루어지고 $4.44^{\circ}C$의 수온 좌우편차가 발생했다. 지그재그(zigzag) 형태의 흐름을 만들어 혼합효과를 올리기 위한 미로형 수제(labyrinth groin) 설치안은 평균 $5.33^{\circ}C$의 수온강하가 이루어지고, $1.43^{\circ}C$의 수온 좌우편차를 보여줘 검토했던 대안들 중 가장 좋은 결과를 보여주었다. V자 배열 소파블럭(deformed block) 설치안은 연직 및 수평방향의 소산을 기대했으나 평균 $3.00^{\circ}C$의 수온 강하와 $4.41^{\circ}C$의 수온 좌우편차를 나타냈다. 벤츄리(Venturi) 형태의 흐름을 발생시키기 위한 병목형(bottleneck) 수로안은 평균 $3.18^{\circ}C$의 수온강하와 $3.94^{\circ}C$의 수온 좌우편차, 흐름의 소산과 흐름방향을 변화시키기 위한 와형 수제(swirl groin) 설치안은 평균 $2.24^{\circ}C$의 수온강하와 $1.48^{\circ}C$의 수온좌우편차, 우안 흐름을 지연시키기 위한 물방석(water cushion) 수로안은 평균 $3.03^{\circ}C$의 수온강하와 $4.50^{\circ}C$의 수온 좌우편차, 우안의 흐름을 좌안으로 보내기 위한 분사형(injector) 수로안은 평균 $3.13^{\circ}C$의 수온강하와 $4.45^{\circ}C$의 수온 좌우편차, 우안의 흐름을 막기 위한 외팔형 수제(cantilever groin) 설치안은 평균 $3.11^{\circ}C$의 수온강하와 $3.02^{\circ}C$의 수온 좌우편차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

Field measurements and numerical simulations using EFDC model were performed to quantify the changes of water circulation near Gusipo coast located in the Yellow Sea of Korea to estimate the impact of the construction of the coastal structures (jetty, groin, Gusipo port and bridge). The model predicted tide and tidal currents agreed reasonably well with the measurements. The maximum currents during spring tide near the Gusipo Beach (GB) have the range of 20~40 cm/sec whereas those off the GB range from 60 to 80 cm/sec. The typical patterns of tidal current show parallel with the local isobath. Tidal currents flow northeastward during the flood tide whereas the currents during the ebb tide flow southwestward. The current speeds at shielded waters after the construction of coastal structures strongly decreased as compared with those before the construction. The tidal volume due to the construction of coastal structures was estimated using the depth averaged velocity for 24 hours of spring tide. Tidal volume after construction of coastal structures was compared with initial state (before construction). Tidal volume at present state (after construction of jetty, groin, Gusipo port and bridge) decreased by 28.4% as compared with that of the initial state. The volume after construction of jetty and groin decreased by 21.3%, and the volume after construction of Gusipo port and bridge decreased by 9.8%.

Pityriasis rosea in a 2-month old pig is described. Lesions were confined to the abdomen and groin. They consisted of raised, erythematous papules with distinct borders. Microscopic examination of the lesions revealed a nonspecific dermatitis with acanthosis, moderate infiltration of mononuclear cells and eosinophils in the upper dermis. The known occurrence of the disease will help differentiate the condition from other dermatoses.

Contralateral groin exploration (CGE) in children with unilateral inguinal hernia remains controversial. Between January 2002 and December 2007, 1967 pediatric patients with inguinal hernia were treated by two surgeons with different criteria of CGE (group A; boys younger than 2 years, older boys prematurely delivered, and all girls, B; birth weight lower than 2 kg with inguinal hernia presentation within 6 months after birth, and suspicious physical findings) at Samsung medical center. Patient's age, sex, body weight, diagnosis, and metachronous contralateral inguinal hernia (MIH) incidence were analyzed retrospectively. Among 895 patients in group A, CGE was performed in 460 patients (66.4 %) and MIH incidence was 1.7 %. In group B, 31 patients (3.5 %) had CGE among 1072 patients, and MIH incidence was 4.2 %. The average hospital costs of group A and B were 763,956 won and 500,708 won, respectively. The CGE criteria of group B had advantage in total hospital cost. The primary site and the age at presentation had a signiticant effect on the incidence of MIH. But MIH incidence was low and the more contralateral explorations lead to increase of total costs. Therefore, routine contralateral groin exploration and surgery for a patent processus vaginalis could not be justified.
