Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an ambulatory care-sensitive condition, and effective treatment of outpatients can prevent worsening of the illness and hospitalization. Current COPD guidelines provide appropriate guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with COPD. In fact, it has been shown that when appropriate guidance and treatment are performed, the morbidity and mortality rates of COPD patients are reduced. However, there is a gap between the clinical guidelines and the actual clinical treatment. Therefore, the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) conducted an evaluation of the adequacy of COPD diagnosis and treatment using the Claims Database of HIRA. This review provides a summary of the COPD adequacy assessment results reported by the HIRA and some brief comments on the results.

Tracheal stenosis can be classified into intrinsic stenosis secondary to tracheal inflammatory lesion or mass effect and extrinsic stenosis secondary tumors of thyroid, esophagus and mediastinum. Extrinsic stenosis which is frequently encountered in clinical setting could be often overlooked due to mild symptom. Recently, even with the increasing interest in extrinsic tracheal stenosis there are limitation in it's diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this study is to provide guidance in the diagnosis and treaonent of extrinsic tracheal stenosis. Here, we report the etiology, symptoms, radiologic findings, pulmonary fuction finding, treatment and its results in 26 cases of extrinsic tracheal stenosis. Causes of extrinsic tracheal stenosis included compression of aiway by thyroid benign tumor in 13 cases to be the most common, next by thyroid malignancy in 9 cases, metastatic mediastinal turner in 2 cases, 1 case each for esophageal cancer and parathyroid cancer. In 3 cases simple tracheal resection and end to end anastomosis were done, 1 cases underwent total laryngectomy, and 8 cases were treated by conservative management, where all cases failed in treatment. The remaining 14 cases were successfully treated by removing the causes and maintaining tracheal tube insertion for amount of time. Extrinsic tracheal stenosis due to benign conditions were treated satisfactorily by removing mass, however with the malignant causes there was considerable amount of difficulty in treatment.

최근 들어 치아의 심미적인 개선을 위해 전치부 보철 치료를 하는 경우가 많다. 하지만 전치부 심미 보철치료이후 환자가 발음, 저작 등 기능적으로 불만족스럽게 생각하는 경우가 종종 있다. 전치부는 심미적으로 중요할 뿐만 아니라 교합과 관련하여서도 중심위 다음으로 중요한 전방유도가 성립되는 부분으로, 잘못된 전방유도 설정으로 인해 구치부의 교합간섭을 초래할 수 있다. 또한 새롭게 설정된 전치부 보철물의 전방유도가 환자의 기능로(envelope of function)과 조화를 이루지 않을 시 환자가 불편감을 나타낼 수 있다. 본 증례는 전치부 심미 보철 이후 부정확한 발음 및 안정적인 접촉이 없어서 불안정한 교합, 전반적인 불편감을 호소하는 환자에서 체계적인 진단과 치료과정을 통해 보철물을 재수복하여 환자와 술자 모두에게서 심미적으로, 그리고 기능적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

전악 재건이 필요한 환자의 진단 과정에서, 환자 고유의 하악 운동을 재현해 내기 위해 환자의 시상과로각과 전방 유도각을 교합기 상에 인기하는 것은 필수적이다. 이번 증례에서는 전악 수복이 필요한 환자에게서 ARCUS digma I system을 이용하여 환자 고유의 과로각 채득 후, 기능적으로 알맞은 전치 유도각을 설정하여 이를 바탕으로 교합 거상이 적용된 임시치아로 적응하도록 하였다. 그 후 ARCUS digma II system을 활용하여 교합기상에 최종 마운팅하여 보철물을 장착함으로써 심미적이면서도 환자의 고유 과로각에 알맞은 기능적 임상결과를 얻었을 뿐 아니라, 두 시스템간의 비교한 결과를 얻을 수 있었기에 이에 보고하고자 한다.

Image registration is the process for finding the correct geometrical transformation that brings one image in precise spatial correspondence with another image. There are limitations on the visualization of simple overlay between two different modality images because two different modality images have different anatomical information, resolution, and viewpoint. In this paper, various image registration methods and their applications are introduced. With the recent advance of medical imaging device, image registration is used actively in diagnosis support, treatment planning, surgery guidance and monitoring the disease progression.

Selective accumulation of a photosensitizer and the subsequent response in only the light-irradiated target are advantages of photodynamic diagnosis and therapy. The limited depth of the therapeutic effect is a positive characteristic when treating surface malignancies, such as peritoneal carcinomatosis. For photodynamic diagnosis (PDD), adjunctive use of aminolevulinic acid- protoporphyrin IX-guided fluorescence imaging detects cancer nodules, which would have been missed during assessment using white light visualization only. Furthermore, since few side effects have been reported, this has the potential to become a vital component of diagnostic laparoscopy. A variety of photosensitizers have been examined for photodynamic therapy (PDT), and treatment protocols are heterogeneous in terms of photosensitizer type and dose, photosensitizer-light time interval, and light source wavelength, dose, and dose rate. Although several studies have suggested that PDT has favorable effects in peritoneal carcinomatosis, clinical trials in more homogenous patient groups are required to identify the true benefits. In addition, major complications, such as bowel perforation and capillary leak syndrome, need to be reduced. In the long term, PDD and PDT are likely to be successful therapeutic options for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, with several options to optimize the photosensitizer and light delivery parameters to improve safety and efficacy.

상악 전치부와 같은 기능 및 심미성의 개선이 조화롭게 요구되는 부위의 치료 시에는 다른 부위보다 더 많은 지식과 기술을 필요로 한다. 특히 전방 유도(anterior guidance)를 결정하는 상악 전치부 설면 외형을 제대로 형성하지 못하면, 기능적인 불편감과 함께 전체 치열의 불안정성을 야기한다. 적절한 원리를 이용하여 전방유도를 설정한 후 임시 수복물 제작 및 조정을 통해 조화로운 전방 유도를 확보했다면 임시 수복물의 설면 외형을 최종 보철물로 정확하게 재현하는 방법에 대해 주의 깊게 고려해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 증례에서는 체계적인 진단 및 치료를 위하여 수정된 Dahl 원리(modified Dahl principle) 및 computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) 시스템의 복제 기법(copy-milled)을 이용하여 적절한 전방 유도를 설정하고, 지대치의 디지털 이미지와 임시 수복물의 디지털 이미지를 중첩시켜 보다 정확하게 보철물 형태를 재현하고자 하였다. 이에 기능적, 심미적 개선을 도모하여 환자와 술자 모두에게 만족스러운 치료결과 및 예후를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: In maxillofacial surgery, proper preoperative diagnosis is very important in achieving good postoperative results. Although conventional CT scans are useful for visual representations of fractures, they cannot provide direct guidance for reconstructing facial bone fractures. However, the recent technology of multislice scanning has brought many clinical benefits to CT images. Direct correlations can be made between preoperative imaging data and operative planning. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the differences between conventional CT and multidetective three-dimensional CT(3D MDCT) measurements in craniofacial deformities. Methods: From January 2005 to November 2005, MDCT scans of 41 patients were evaluated by comparing them with conventional CT scans. The 3D MDCT images were assessed and reviewed by using a simple scoring system. Results: The 3D MDCT scans offered easy interpretation, facilitated surgical planning, and clarified postoperative results in malar complex fractures, mandibular fractures, and extensive maxillofacial fractures and cranioplasty. However, 3D MDCT images were not superior to conventional CT scans in the diagnosis of blowout fractures. Conclusion: In spite of its limitations, the 3D MDCT provided additional and more comprehensive information than the conventional CT for preoperative assessment of craniofacial deformities. Therefore, the 3D MDCT can be a useful tool for diagnosis and systematic treatment planning in craniofacial skeletal deformities.

의료소송에서 의사의 환자에 대한 '설명'이 문제되는 경우는 다양하다. 진단의 초기부터 시작하여 수술 등의 치료과정, 치료를 위해 입원이 필요한 경우, 입원 중과 퇴원 시, 그리고 퇴원 후에 이르기까지 의학적인 설명과 지도가 의사에게 요구된다. 나아가 의료행위로 인하여 발생하게 될 경제적 비용에 대하여도 의사 혹은 의료기관의 고지가 요청되기도 한다. 우리나라 사법부는 이와 같은 의사의 설명에 대하여 진료의 단계 및 의료법 등 관계법령을 고려하여 의료행위에 대한 동의를 구하기 위한 설명과 환자의 요양방법 지도와 관련된 진료상 설명을 구분하여 법리를 전개해 오고 있다. 또한 헌법재판소는 경제적 비용에 관한 설명과 연계된 비급여 비용 고지 제도에 관하여 최근 판단하기도 하였다. 그런데 의사의 설명이 불충분하였다는 것만을 이유로 의사에게 책임을 추궁을 하는 것은 임상현실의 실제 상황과 부합하지 않는 측면이 존재하고, 오히려 의권의 위축을 초래하는 반사적인 불이익이 있을 수 있다. 따라서 의사의 설명은 환자의 자기결정권 보장과 의권 보호라는 양측면에서 살펴보아야 할 필요가 있다.
