In a digital economy, users actively express their needs in many ways. Thus, many researchers analyze what users need and whether they are satisfied or not through opinion mining. In addition, they begin to find technology opportunities in heterogeneous technology fields. But they did not connect users' opinion to technology development process, only focused on natural language processing or marketing or manufacturing area. Also, heterogeneous technology fields are focused on fusion technology. Thus, this study suggests a novel approach that is based on sentimental value and can be applied to exploring technology opportunities in heterogeneous fields. Sentimental value is calculated from users' opinion through sLDA. The heterogeneous technology opportunity is explored by patent analysis. This research contributes to suggesting a hybrid methodology through patent and users' opinion. In addition, it can provide managerial efficiency by suggesting base data onto decision making.

Percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure in patients with a prior PFO-associated stroke showed a risk reduction of the stroke recurrence compared to the medical therapy alone in recent several studies. Nevertheless, optimal patient selection for PFO closure has not been clarified. In this paper, we discuss the characteristics of PFO-associated strokes and discuss the recently published evidence and patient selection for PFO closure in patients with ischemic stroke. The lesions characteristics of PFO-associated stroke are associated with multiple scattered lesion, small sized cerebral cortical lesion, or posterior circulation. Overcoming the failure of early studies in CLOSURE I, PC, and RESPECT trials, PFO closure showed a significant reduction in recurrent stroke in recently published REDUCE, CLOSE, DEFENSEPRO trials, and long-term follow-up data of RESPECT study. However, considering that PFO closure cannot completely prevent stroke recurrence and that complications including atrial fibrillation, we should be selectively performed in patients with high-risk PFO.

Lifespans are increasing and many consumers are interested in health issues in these busy modern days, developing functional clothing that can be worn everyday is one of the competitive solutions in the oversaturated clothing market. When developing a new item with a fresh idea, it is important to look into prior art beforehand to avoid unnecessary intellectual property right-related disputes. This study investigates Korean domestic patents and utility models about functional clothing in terms of human body performance and health promotion in order to suggest essential data to relevant developers. We selected 324 patents and utility models and made an analysis according to the year, functions, applied technologies, frequency of claims, target wearers and item types. We found problems in current functional clothing patent application trends and suggested new aspects when developing innovative functional clothing items. Data was limited to Korean domestic patents; however, this study is still meaningful giving references to technology roadmaps and encouraging new intellectual property development.

In recent innovation trends, one notable feature is the merging and overlapping of technologies: in other words, technological convergence. A key technological convergence is the fusion of biotechnology (BT) and information technology (IT). Major IT advances have led to innovative devices that allow us to advance BT. However, the lack of data on IT-BT convergence is a major impediment: relatively little research has analyzed the inter-disciplinary relationship of different industries. We propose a systematic approach to analyzing the technological convergence of BT and IT. Patent analysis, including citation and co-classification analyses, was adopted as a main method to measure the convergence intensity and coverage, and two portfolio matrices were developed to manage the technological convergence. The contribution of this paper is that it provides practical evidences for IT-BT convergence, based on quantitative data and systematic processes. This has managerial implications for each sector of IT and BT.

At the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang university, from 1976 to 1984, 102 patients operated for isolated patent ductus arteriosus were studied. The correlation between the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH] and hemodynamic data, and postoperative changes of electrocardiographic findings were evaluated. The following results were obtained; [1] Of 102 patients with isolated patent ductus arteriosus, 78 patients [76.5%] were found to have LVH by EKG, preoperatively. [2] The patients with LVH had higher incidence of respiratory infection [79.4%] compared to patients without LVH. [3] Frequent physical findings in the patients with LVH were precordial bulging and P2 accentuation on auscultation. The typical continuous machinery murmur was not different in two group with or without LVH. [4] 66.1% of patients with LVH showed more than 56% of cardiothoracic ratio [CTR] on simple chest X-ray. 56.5% of patients without LVH showed less than 50% of CTR. [5] In the patients found to have LVH by EKG, the correlation between values of Svl+Rv6 and Qp/Qs in hemodynamic data was correlation coefficient 0.57 and between CTR and Qp/Qs was correlation coefficient 0.51. [6] In patent ductus arteriosus with LVH following surgery, the values of Svl+Rv6 was changed from preoperative 153.6$\pm$42.78% to 107.7$\pm$19.58% within 3 months and to 80.4$\pm$12.22%, which is within normal range of Svl+Rv6 on EKC, after 6 months.
