'Crossed occlusion' is the condition in which occlusal intercuspation is lost when several teeth on upper and lower jaw remain. This report describes a clinical case in which a patient had two upper-left posterior teeth and two lower-right posterior teeth; typically known as left-right crossed occlusion. Considering the patient's general condition and financial situation, the treatment plan included placement of two implants on each jaw against the remaining teeth using surgical guide. To find out the ideal position of implants, digital diagnostic wax-up was preceded by superimposing the cast and cone beam computed tomography image, which was aided with radiographic stents. The consequent surveyed implant bridge provided stable vertical stop for fabrication of the implant assisted removable partial dentures. The patient was satisfied with the functionality and esthetics of definitive prosthesis.

게이트심장혈액풀스캔(Gated Cardiac Blood Pool Scan, GBP)은 심박출계수(Ejection Fraction, EF)를 정확하게 구할 수 있어 항암 화학요법 시 약물에 의해 발생하는 심장손상을 확인할 수 있다. 심장을 촬영하는 검사의 특성상 환자가 왼쪽 팔을 머리 위로 올리고 바로 누운 자세로 검사가 진행된다. 하지만 부종, 관절염, 골절 등의 이유로 팔을 들지 못하는 환자는 검사를 진행하기에 어려움이 따르고 검사 자체를 하지 못하는 경우도 발생한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 환자가 팔을 올리지 않고 촬영하였을 때의 EF가 기존 자세와 비교해 어떤 변화가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 2011년 3월에서 9월까지 유방암 항암 화학요법 치료 중인 환자 80명(평균연령 $51.2{\pm}17.4$세)을 대상으로 하였고 40명씩 두 그룹으로 나누어 좌전사위상을 기존 자세와 팔을 바로 내린 자세, 기존 자세와 팔을 뒤로 돌린 자세로 각각 촬영하여 동일한 관심영역을 설정하고 EF를 비교하였다. 촬영장비는 INFINIA 감마카메라(General Electric Healthcare, Israel)를 사용하였으며 분석은 Xeleris (General Electric Healthcare, USA) 자동분석 프로그램을 사용하였다. 자동분석 오차인 3%를 기준으로 하여 EF 변동을 판단하였다. 첫 번째 그룹인 기존 자세와 팔을 바로 내린 자세와의 비교에서는 40명 중 29명(72%)이 자동분석 오차인 3% 이하의 변동 값을 보여주었다. 두 번째 그룹인 기존 자세와 팔을 뒤로 돌린 자세와의 비교에서는 40명 중 32명(79%)이 3%이하의 오차 값을 보였다. 환자의 비만도가 결과에 영향을 주었는지 판단하기 위해 환자의 체질량지수를 측정하고 EF 오차와의 상관관계를 살펴보았으나 유의미한 상관관계가 없었다. 자세 변경 시 기존 자세 대비 심박출 계수의 오차 7%였던 환자의 영상을 분석한 결과 확장기말 영상에서의 계수변화가 16.6%였던 반면, 수축기말에서는 32.3%의 계수변화를 보였다. 이러한 계수 변화 차는 왼쪽 팔의 상하 움직임에 의해 비교적 용적이 작은 수축기말의 영상이 심장을 둘러싸고 있는 늑골의 음영에 더 많은 영향을 받은 것으로 판단된다. GBP 촬영 이력이 있는 환자는 과거 검사와 동일 자세로 촬영함으로써 이전 검사조건을 유지할 수 있으며 환자가 부득이하게 팔을 못 올리는 경우 팔을 뒤로 내린 자세로 촬영함으로써 이전 촬영과의 EF 오차를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to develop clothing customized for dealing with patients with severe dementia. Based on the results of previous studies, The research patient clothing was designed to reduce the physical fatigue experienced by caregivers when dressing and undressing patients by changing the position and shape of the split in the patient's clothing. This study used qualitative and quantitative methods to measure the extent to which these modifications improved the ease of dressing and undressing the research patient. The research patient clothing was developed by moving the rear-center zipper to the side and changing the zipper from being half-open to fully open. Muscle energy consumption and fatigue generation were analyzed using EMG signals at the following sites: brachioradialis, biceps, triceps, anterior deltoid, medial deltoid, posterior deltoid, upper trapezius and erector spinae. Results indicated that the modified research patient clothing required less muscle energy and the occurrence of muscle fatigue decreased overall compared to traditional patient clothing. This was supported by the qualitative subjective evaluation, which revealed that dressing and undressing was easier with the modified clothing. In conclusion, repositioning of the back zipper to the side and the fully open slit shape significantly reduced caregiver fatigue when dressing and undressing patients.

This is the descriptive investigation study intended to provide basic informations to develop concrete method of nurse arbitration which can improve the quality of nursing care on family by investigating and analyzing the perception and practice on family nursing of clinical nurse. 332 nurses working in 4 university hospitals in Seoul have been the object and the collection of data have been conducted by visiting cooperated by the department of nursing in university hospital from April 4th through April 17th 1998. The measuring instrument of the perception and the practice on family nursing which was written by the researcher was used based on the family nursing arbitration by recently amending Calgary Family Arbitration of the Model of Wright & Leahey. Cronbach's a value of this instrument was .9288 in the perception and .9168 in the practice the collected data have been analyzed by frequency percentage, averaged value. t-test, F-test(ANOVA), Duncan's Multiple Range, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and the results are as the follows: 1. The perception on patient's family nursing of clinical nurse showed comparatively high by 3.22 in average(maximum 3.52, minimum 2.82) on the basis of 4 point but the practice showed low by average 2.47(maximum 3.02, minimum 2.11), By providing the patients and their family with "The information about the health problem of the which is the role of giving explanation and information about the disease. the nurse presents the method of their helping patient and in case that the family lack of knowledge about the health problem and crisis of the patient which is the role of education about the method of solving the crisis and change. the nurse educates about the necessity and method of taking care of the crisis and the changes. The third question that the relation of recognizing the difficuly of family and cooperating with them in supporting the patient for mutual function is to be formed showed high in the degree of perception and practice of the necessity. 2. General characteristics of perception about patient's family nursing of the object showed no significant difference except the concerns about the family usually(F=5.472. p<.001) and general characteristics which showed significant difference in the degree of practice were educational background (F=3.177, p<.05), clinical experience (F=2.462, p<.05) and position(F=7.029. p<.001), and attention about patient's family(F=10.603, p<.001), 3. The relation between perception and practice about the nursing on patient's family showed pure correlation but the degree was very low(r=.188, p<.05). The above results showed that the clinical nurses has been high understanding about the necessity of patient's family nursing but the degree of practice has been very low due to the lack of education about the family nursing, having no ways of nurse arbitration for practical duty and lack of political administrative support. Therefore concrete and systematic family situation and arbitration method to be applied clinically are required to be developed and also the education about patient's family nursing and the development of the course for clinical practice are required and political and administrative support for clinical practice about patient's family nursing is required as well.

Recently several hospitals have established a new nursing position so called, 'the nurse in charge of education (NCE).' The job description of NCE is to give a detail explanation on examination or test introduced to patients or a guide for those who are not familiar to hospital facilities at the out-patients level. The motivation of NCE position is the quality improvement in patient education on the sophisticated procedures or the follow up care for medical purposes to improve their compliances, as well in delivering services for outpatients or visitors in more informative and efficient way. The application of NCEA has been turned out positive and effective in patient satisfaction and unit management. However, special attention is brought to the scope and depth of the contents of education delivered by NCE which might overlap with the duty of physicians by the Medical Act. It is needed to clarify the role and job description of NCE in the context of Medical Act. The engagement of NCE to the Advanced Nursing Practitioner (ANP) is one of the possible solutions for a duty charge on patient education since ANP is a legislatively official position with higher license of RN at master level. Further discussion is needed to elaborate and arrange the details on the scope and content of patent education among health science professionals including RN, ANP and physicians.

The purpose of this study is to describe specific system manifestations and suggested nursing interventions in patients with lupus. Lupus is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystemic disorder of the immune system. Antibodies are formed which react against the person's own normal tissue. This abnormal response can be very damaging and leads to the many manifestations of the lupus. Lupus can affect any part of the body, and patients experience symptoms in organs involved. So lupus patients have integumentary, blood, central nervous system, eye, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, kidney, heart and lining membranes, reproductive system involvement. The courses are unpredictable and very individualized. Lupus varies greatly in severity from mild cases requiring minimal interventions to those in which significant damage occurs to vital organs such as the lungs, heart, kidney and brain which ultimately can be fatal. In addition to direct physical care, the nursing professional has an excellent position from which to support the lupus patient. Patients need assistance with receiving current, accurate information about the disease process and also to be helped in developing realistic expectations and goals. Nursing interventions for the patient with lupus is challenge drawing on at the resources, knowledge and strengths the nursing teams have to offer. Because of the unpredictable, highly individualized and frequently changing the nature of the disease itself as well as the intricacy of the patient's needs. The nurse has a key role in its management. The patient and nurse, working together, have much to offer each other. These are of inestimable value to the patient. As the nurse listens to the patient and learns what problems the patient perceives, can guide the patient in a self-help program that allows to adapt to living with a chronic illness.

Outcome of esthetic ceramic restorations are affected by tooth size, gingival contour, occlusal relationship, etc. For this reason, demand of orthodontic treatment before esthetic ceramic restoration is increasing. If a Bolton ratio discrepancy, a problem of the maxillary incisor's vertical position, a problem of inclination of anterior teeth, a pathogenic occlusion is existed, a pre-prosthodontic orthodontics should be accomplished. These problems can be satisfactory only after the prosthetic treatment is performed after orthodontic treatment. When orthodontic treatment is given, it should be treated with the following principle. 1. Treat it in the direction of functioning occlusion. 2. Keep the patient's stable occlusal scheme. 3. Treat the teeth by considering the average tooth size and Bolton ratio. Ortho-Prostho combined treatment with optimal treatment plan can lead a patient's function, esthetics, and long-term stability.
