본 논문에서는 관절 각도계를 사용하여 관절가동범위의 측정하던 것을 각도계를 사용하지 않고 플렉서블 센서를 이용하여 측정하고 측정된 값을 스마트 디바이스와 연동하여 실시간 모니터링이 가능하게 하였다. 현재의 관절가동 범위 측정은 관절 각도기를 활용하여 사람이 직접 측정하고 있다. 이러한 방법은 측정하는 사람의 측정 방법과 위치에 따른 오류로 일관성 있는 측정이 어려워 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 그래서 측정해야 할 관절에 센서를 부착하여 관절의 운동 범위를 측정하였다. 측정을 위한 센서는 플랙서블 형태로 관절의 움직임에 따라 변화되는 저항 값을 측정하는 센서로서 센싱 된 값을 ROM 센서노드를 통하여 무선으로 스마트 디바이스로 전송될 수 있도록 하였다. 개발 된 ROM 측정 장치는 일반적인 관절 각도기를 활용한 측정보다 일관성 있는 측정이 이루어 질 수 있고 스마트 디바이스와 연동하여 실시간 모니터링 함으로써 관절의 움직임에 따른 신속한 진단으로 환자의 빠른 치료와 재활의료 발전에 도움이 될 것이다.

혈액에서의 산소 포화도는 Hb와 HbO$_2$의 광학 스펙트라에서 흡수계수의 차이에 의해서 측정할 수 있다. 본 연구는 하지 조직에서 발생하는 말초혈관계 질환진단을 위하여 파장이 660nm 와 940nm의 LED를 이용하여 산소포화도를 측정하는 장치를 개발하였다. 산소측정장치는 광 탐촉자와 광 신호처리부, LED 구동회로, 컴퓨터와 인터페이스로 구성하고, 데이터의 수집과 분석을 위한 프로그램 을 개발하였다. 구현된 산소측정장치에 대한 임상적인 평가를 위하여 하지조직에서 운동 부하에 따른 실험을 하여 생체조직내 생리적변화에 따른 산소량의 변화를 측정하고, 기기의 성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과 생체조직내의 산소포화도는 광원과 검출기의 간격에 따라 측정이 가능함을 보여 주었다.

방사선 사고시 피폭환자로부터 채취된 스메어 시료의 전알파 방사능 측정법을 수립하였으며 이를 바탕으로 피폭환자의 후속조치 절차를 확립하였다. 국내방사선사고 대응기관에서 사용중인 스메어용 면봉을 이용하여 계측 절차를 검증하였다. 액체섬광계수기를 이용하여 표준선원을 점적한 시료의 계측 결과 20% 이내에서 인증값과 잘 일치하였으며, 채취 조건은 세정제 등을 이용하는 것이 더 높은 스메어 효율을 보였다. 액체섬광계수법 특성상 소광현상의 영향을 배제하기 위해 건조 등의 최소한의 전처리가 필요 할 것으로 판단되었다. 계측결과를 바탕으로 방사선비상시 피폭환자에 대한 의료적 처치 기준 및 선량평가 절차를 수립하였다.

Objectives : This study was conducted to assess the effect of Chunwangbosim-dan(CB) on the autonomic nervous system by using heart rate variability measurement. Methods : The eligible subjects were composed of the healthy female group of ages 25 to 30 years. They were divided into two groups, the CB group(n=16) and the control group(n=16). We measured the heart rate variability respectively for 3 times at 14:00, 16:00, and 17:00. In the CB group, subjects were administered CB at 15:00. For the measurement values, Mean Heart Rate and SDNN(standard deviation of the NN intervals) were used as time domain analysis, and HF(high frequency), LF(low frequency), and LF / HF ratio were used as frequency domain analysis. Results : The degree of LF changes in the CB group was significantly lower than control group at 1 hour after administration. Conclusions : We suggest that Chunwangbosim-dan may be useful for stabilization of the autonomic nervous system by controlling sympathetic nerve in healthy people.

Background: GLOBOCAN12 recently reported high cancer mortality in Malaysia suggesting its cancer health services are under-performing. Cancer survival is a key index of the overall effectiveness of health services in the management of patients. This report focuses on Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) care performance as measured by patient survival outcome for up to 5 years. Materials and Methods: All women with breast cancer treated at SJMC between 2008 and 2012 were enrolled for this observational cohort study. Mortality outcome was ascertained through record linkage with national death register, linkage with hospital registration system and finally through direct contact by phone or home visits. Results: A total of 675 patients treated between 2008 and 2012 were included in the present survival analysis, 65% with early breast cancer, 20% with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) and 4% with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The overall relative survival (RS) at 5 years was 88%. RS for stage I was 100% and for stage II, III and IV disease was 95%, 69% and 36% respectively. Conclusions: SJMC is among the first hospitals in Malaysia to embark on routine measurement of the performance of its cancer care services and its results are comparable to any leading centers in developed countries.

As an advancement of medical imaging modalities and analyzing software with multi-function, active researches to acquire high contrast and high resolution image being done. In recently, development of medical imaging modalities like as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is aiming to display anatomical structure more accuracy and faster. Thus, one of the important areas in CT today is the use of CT scanner for the quantitative evaluation of 3-D reconstruction images from 2-D tomographic images. In CT system, the effective slice thickness and the quality of 3-D reconstructed image will be influenced by imaging acquisition parameters (e.g. pitch and scan mode). In diagnosis and surgical planning, the accurate distance measurements of 3-D anatomical structures play an important role and the accuracy of distance measurements will depend on the acquisition parameters such as slice thickness, pitch, and scan mode. The skull phantom was scanned with SDCT for various acquisition parameters and acquisition slice thicknesses were 3 and 5 mm, and reconstruction intervals were 1, 2, and 3 mm to each pitch. 3-D visualizations and distance measurements were performed with PC based 3-D rendering and analyzing software. Results showed that the image quality and the measurement accuracy of 3-D SDCT images are independent to the reconstruction intervals and pitches.

This study aimed to analyze trends in research on depression among medical students in Korea and to conduct a meta-analysis to determine the average correlation coefficients between depression and related variables. In total, 38 quantitative studies (four theses and 34 journal articles) published between January 1995 and February 2023 were analyzed according to publication year, subjects, analysis methods, and measurement tools. Among them, 15 studies that provided numerical information on the relationships between depression and variables such as self-esteem, social support, grade point average (GPA), stress, and academic stress were selected for meta-analysis. The main findings of this study were as follows. First, quantitative research on depression among medical students began in earnest in 2009, and cross-sectional studies targeting first-year and second-year medical students were the most prevalent. Furthermore, the most commonly used analysis method was difference testing, and the Beck Depression Inventory was the most frequently used measurement tool. Second, the mean correlation coefficients between depression and stress, self-esteem, social support, academic stress, and GPA were 0.534, 0.532, 0.465, 0.390, and 0.102, respectively. The results for self-esteem, stress, and academic stress showed substantial heterogeneity, while those for social support and GPA showed little heterogeneity. These findings suggest that educational interventions, such as social support improvement programs, are necessary to prevent depression among medical students.

A high-precision pre-amplifier is designed for general use in EEG measurement system. It consists of signal generator, signal amplifier with a impedance converter, shield driver, body driver, differential amplifier, and isolation amplifier. The combination of minimum use of inaccurate passive components and the appropriate matching of each monolithic amplifiers results in good noise behavior, low leakage current, high CMRR, high input impedance, and high IMRR. The performance of EEG pre-amplifier has been verified by showing the typical EEG pattevn of a nomad person through the clinical experiments.

This paper describes the design of an adaptive closed circuit anesthesia controller based on a multiplexed mass spectrometer system. The controller deals with measurement deterioration caused by measurement delay and rise time through a tong catheter as well as long sampling times due to the multiplexed measurements. Measurement data is extrapolated between sampling periods to increase the estimation convergence rate. A multiple-step-ahead predictive control algorithm is used to calculate intermediatc control inputs between sampling intervals. Simulations are used to validate the designed controller.
