본 논문에서는 바쁜 현대인들뿐만 아니라 노인 및 어린이들이 보다 편안하고 효율적으로 애완동물을 기를 수 있도록 하기 위한 애완동물 배뇨 훈련 및 먹이 자동 공급을 위한 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 블루투스를 이용해 스마트폰 어플리케이션으로 조작할 수 있도록 하며, 나아가 Wifi를 통해 인터넷에 접속하여 어디서든 조작할 수 있도록 한다. 본 논문의 시스템은 배뇨판과 먹이 공급기로 나뉘어져있다. 배뇨판은 배뇨 인식을 위한 수압 센서와 음성출력을 위한 녹음기 모듈, 스피커로 구성되고 후면부는 먹이 자동 공급을 위한 두 개의 서보 모터와 원격 통신을 위한 블루투스 센서로 구성된다. 배뇨판과 먹이 공급기 모두 아두이노 보드와 C언어 기반의 아두이노 스케치 프로그램으로 제작하였으며 먹이 공급기는 블루투스 통신을 지원하는 라이브러리로 통신할 수 있게 하였다. 구현된 시스템은 애완동물의 종류 및 크기에 관계없이 자동 수위조절과 먹이양이 조절되는 특징을 가진다.

Purpose: To evaluate the initial experience and outcome of photo-selective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in Pakistan with the use of a 980 nm diode laser. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was performed from November 2016 to December 2017. A total of 100 patients diagnosed with bladder outlet obstruction secondary to BPH who planned for PVP were enrolled in the study. PVP was carried out with a diode laser at 980 nm (Biolitec Diode 180W laser) in a continuous wave with a 600 nm (twister) fiber. Baseline characteristics and perioperative data were compared. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated by International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), post void residual (PVR) and maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Results: The mean age was $65.82{\pm}10.42$, mean prostate size was $67.35{\pm}16.42$, operative time was $55.85{\pm}18.01$ and total energy was $198.68{\pm}49.12kJ$. At 3 months and 6 months, significant improvements were noted (p<0.001) in IPSS $7.04{\pm}1.69$ (-18.92), Qmax $19.22{\pm}4.75mL/s$ (+13.09) and and PVR $18.89{\pm}5.39mL$ (-112.80). Most frequent problems were burning micturition (35%) and terminal dysuria (29%). No significant difference in postoperative hemoglobin was seen in patients who were on anti-platelet drugs. Conclusions: PVP with a diode laser is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of BPH and is also safe in patients who are on anti-platelet agents.

Objectives : The Levator Ani Muscles Training(LAMT) is one of the well known very effective prevention and treatment method of some specific diseases in the anal organs, digestion system, urinary organs and genital organs, which means LAMT could be considered as an independent exercise. Methods : Chinese databases were searched and found one good source named CNKI(China National Knowledge Infrastructure) where there were downloaded 154 articles, out of which were finally selected 82 used for the introduction of the historical background, health-effectiveness, working mechanism, training methods, etc. Results : LAMT as an independent exercise, is considered very effective for the prevention of diseases in the anal organs, e.g. hemorrhoids, anal fissure, rectal prolapse; urinary organs, e.g. urinary incontinence, frequent micturition; digestion system, e.g. visceroptosis, diarrhea, chronic enteritis; genital organs, e.g. prostatitis, impotence, premature ejaculation, feminine vaginal relaxation, sexual indifference, etc. It is also told LAMT is effective for coronary heart disease, hyperyension and varicose veins of lower extremity to a certain degree. LAMT is also very similar to the Kegel exercise in couple of aspects. They are equally effective for the urinary incontinence and impotence. Conclusions : LAMT as an independent exercise has developed and become more and more health-effective, especially through the combination with the Qigong exercise, and thus many training methods have been introduced. There are not many scientific research and development with very limited accomplishments even in China. It is strongly required to strengthen the research and development activities so that LAMT will become one of the very effective natural healing soonest possible.
