Background: Information regarding the incidence and risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) detected by follow-up computed tomographic (CT) venography after pulmonary embolism (PE) is sparse. The aim of the present study was to identify the predictors of DVT in follow-up CT images, and to elucidate their clinical significance. Methods: Patients with PE were classified into the following three cohorts based on the time of indirect CT venography follow-up: within 1 month, 1 to 3 months, and 3 to 9 months after the initial CT scan. Each cohort was subdivided into patients with or without DVT detected by follow-up CT. Clinical variables were compared between the two groups. Results: Follow-up CT revealed DVT in 61% of patients with PE within 1 month, in 15% of patients with PE at 1 to 3 months, and in 9% of patients with PE at 3 to 9 months after the initial CT scan. Right ventricular (RV) dilation on the initial CT (odds ratio [OR], 8.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.89-36.40; p=0.005) and proximal DVT at the initial presentation (OR, 6.93; 95% CI, 1.90-25.20; p=0.003) were found to independently predict DVT in follow-up CT images within 1 month, proximal DVT at the initial presentation was found to independently predict DVT in follow-up CT images at 1 to 3 months (OR, 6.69; 95% CI, 1.53-29.23; p=0.012), and central PE was found to independently predict DVT in follow-up CT images at 3 to 9 months (OR, 4.25; 95% CI, 1.22-4.83; p=0.023) after the initial CT scan. Furthermore, the detection of DVT by follow-up CT independently predicted the recurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) (OR, 4.67; 95% CI, 2.24-9.74; p<0.001). Conclusion: Three months after PE, DVT was not detected by follow-up CT in most patients with PE. RV dilation on the initial CT, central PE, and proximal DVT at the initial presentation were found to predict DVT on follow-up CT, which might predict VTE recurrence.

웹 기반의 학습 환경과 모바일 디바이스 기술과의 효과적인 통합은 개발자들에게 새로운 도전으로 여겨지고 있다. 그러나 모바일 디바이스의 스크린 사이즈는 너무 작고, 성능 또한 매우 떨어진다. 이런 모바일 기술의 한계로 인해 웹에서의 실시간 영상 전송을 수반하는 사이버 강좌와 같이 방대한 데이터를 모바일 스크린에 그대로 디스플레이 한다는 것은 많은 문제점을 야기시킨다. 먼저 사용자가 모바일 디바이스를 통하여 학습 내용을 정확하게 인지하기가 어렵고, 방대한 정보의 비디오 스트림을 연속적으로 모바일 디바이스로의 전송은 모바일 시스템에 많은 부하를 야기시킨다. 결과적으로 퍼스컴에서 활용하기 위해서 개발된 어플리케이션을 그대로 모바일 디바이스에서 사용하기가 적절하지 않으므로 모바일 디바이스에 알맞은 플레이어가 개발되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 관심 영역의 트랜스코딩 기법을 이용한 모바일 프리젠테이션을 제안한다. 사이버 강좌 또는 원거리 강의와 같은 학습 영상의 연속적인 비디오 프레임을 모바일로 디스플레이하기 위해서는 고해상도 디지털영상과 모바일 디바이스 사이의 성능 차이를 극복해야 한다. 이를 해결하기 위한 트랜스코딩 기법은 화질의 손상을 초래하므로 높은 수준의 화질을 보장하기 위해서는 트랜스코딩과 선택된 학습 자원 사이의 시행착오에 의해서 적응될 수 있다.

최근 재해방재 사업에 대한 인식이 고조화 되면서 중앙정부나 지자체에서는 일반 국민들에게 국가에서 시행하는 재해방재 서비스를 웹이라는 공간을 통해 제공함으로서 국민들의 재해방지에 대한 관심을 부각시키려는 노력을 하고 있다. 특히, 사용자 누구든지 접근할 수 있는 웹 환경하에서 대규모의 국가적 재해로 연결될 수 있는 산불의 당일 발생위험지수를 시각화하는 서비스를 제공한다면 산불방지에 대한 국민들의 관심과 인식을 불러 일으켜 산불피해를 조금이나마 최소화하는데 도움을 줄 것이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 산불위험지수 예보시스템은 우리나라의 당일 산불위험지수를 지도상에 시각적으로 표출하고 위험지수산출에 관계되는 자료들을 텍스트 형식으로 서비스하도록 한다. 시스템 개발에 있어서는 컴포넌트를 이용하여 소프트웨어를 생산하는 방식으로 패러다임이 변해 가는 현재의 추세를 반영하기 위하여 UML(Unified Modeling Language)을 이용한 컴포넌트 기반 개발 프로세스를 설계하고 이를 통해 시스템 개발을 체계화하고자 한다. 개발된 시스템은 향후 사용자 요구 사항변경이나 서비스 영역의 확대 시 시스템 유지보수 측면에서 탄력성을 가질 것으로 예상되며 아울러 본 시스템과 유사한 서비스를 제공하는 다른 웹 GIS(Geographic Information System) 애플리케이션 개발에 있어서도 컴포넌트 재사용을 통하여 개발에 소요되는 비용과 시간을 최소화시킬 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

배경: 식도천공은 비교적 흔하지 않지만, 높은 이환율과 사망률을 나타낸다. 치료와 결과는 증상의 시간에 따라 크게 결정된다. 저자들은 식도천공 환자들을 최근의 치료방법으로 치료하여 결과를 후향적으로 조사하여 보았다 대상 및 방법: 1990년 3월부터 2005년 3월까지 식도 파열로 치료한 환자들을 후향적 분석하였다. 28명 환자들에서(남자 22명, 여자 6명: 평균나이 51세, 최소 17세에서 최고 82세)천공의 원인을 보면 이물질 9명, 외상 7명, 자연적 파열 7명, 의인성 5명이었다. 환자중 18명은 24시간 내 진단되었으며, 10명은 24시간 이후에 진단되었다. 21명($75\%$)에서 일차 봉합술을 시행하였으며, 4명에서는 식도 절제술, 3명의 환자에서는 위루술과 배농술를 시행하였다. 결과: 병원 사망률은 $18\%$이며, 그리고 의인성에서 사망률이 증가하였다(p <0.05). 천공위치, 천공 후 시간, 치료방법은 사망률에 영향을 미치지 못했다. 수술 후 누출은 4명의 환자에서 생겼으며, 보존적인 치료로 회복이 되었다. 결론: 식도 파열은 진단과 치료가 어렵기 때문에 아직도 위험한 질환이다. 대부분의 환자에서 증상의 발현시간에 관계없이 일차 재건술이 사망률을 낮출 수 있다. 정확한 진단과 조기 치료가 식도파열 환자들의 성공적인 치료에 필수적이다.

The objective was to analyze the radiotherapy (RT) practice at the cancer centre of a tertiary academic medical institution in Delhi. This audit from an Indian public institution covered patient care processes related to cancer diagnosis, integration of RT with other anti-cancer modalities, waiting time, overall treatment time, and compliance with RT. Over a period of one year, all consecutively registered patients in radiotherapy were analyzed for the audit cycle. Analysis of 1,030 patients showed median age of 49.6 years, with presentation as stage I and II in 14.2%, stage III and IV in 71.2% and unknown stage in 14.6%. A total of 974 (95%) were advised for RT appointment; 669 (68.6%) for curative intent and 31.4% for palliation. Mean times for diagnostic workup and from registration at cancer centre to radiotherapy referral were 33 and 31 days respectively. Median waiting time to start of RT course was 41 days. Overall RT compliance was 75% and overall duration for a curative RT course ranged from 50 days to 61 days. Non-completion and interruption of RT course were observed in 12% and 13% respectively. Radiotherapy machine burden in a public cancer hospital in India increases the waiting time and 25% of advised patients do not comply with the prescribed treatment. Infrastructure, machine and manpower constraints lead to more patients being treated on cobalt (74%) and by two-dimensional (78%) techniques.

The wave-cutoff tool is a new diagnostic method to measure electron density and electron temperature. Most of the plasma diagnostic tools have the disadvantage that their application to processing plasma where toxic and reactive gases are used gives rise to many problems such as contamination, perturbation, precision of measurement, and so on. We can minimize these problems by using the wave-cutoff method. Here, we will present the results obtained through the development of the wave-cutoff diagnostic method. The frequency spectrum characteristics of the wave-cutoff probe will be obtained experimentally and analyzed through the microwave field simulation by using the CST-MW studio simulator. The plasma parameters are measured with the wave-cutoff method in various discharge conditions and its results will be compared with the results of Langmuir probe. Another disadvantage is that other diagnostic methods spend a long time (~ a few seconds) to measure plasma parameters. In this presentation, a fast measurement method will be also introduced. The wave-cutoff probe system consists of two antennas and a network analyzer. The network analyzer provides the transmission spectrum and the reflection spectrum by frequency sweeping. The plasma parameters such as electron density and electron temperature are obtained through these spectra. The frequency sweeping time, the time resolution of the wave-cutoff method, is about 1 second. A short pulse with a broad band spectrum of a few GHz is used with an oscilloscope to acquire the spectra data in a short time. The data acquisition time can be reduced with this method. Here, the plasma parameter measurement methods, Langmuir probe, pulsed wave-cutoff method and frequency sweeping wave-cutoff method, are compared. The measurement results are well matched. The real time resolution is less than 1 ?sec. The pulsed wave-cutoff technique is found to be very useful in the transient plasmas such as pulsed plasma and tokamak edge plasma.

Influenza A (H1N1) virus caused a worldwide pandemic in 2009-2010 and still remains in seasonal circulation. Continuous surveillance activities are encouraged in the post pandemic phase to watch over the trend of occurrence every year, this is better to be done by a rapid and sensitive method for its detection. This study was conducted to detect proportions of occurrence of influenza A virus (H1N1) in patients with influenza-like illness. Samples from 500 patients with influenza or influenza-like clinical presentation were tested by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and virus tissue culture. Among the total 500 participants, 193 (38.6%) were females and 307 (61.4%) males. Seventy-one patients (14.2%) were positive for H1N1 virus infection with real-time RT-PCR while 52 (10.4%) were positive by tissue culture. Non-statistically significant relation was found between age and gender with the positivity of H1N1. Sensitivity and specificity of real-time RT-PCR was 98.08% and 95.54%, respectively, in comparison to virus isolation with accuracy 95.8%. This study showed that H1N1 virus was responsible for a good proportion of influenza during the post-pandemic period. Real-time RT-PCR provides rapidity and sensitivity for the detection of influenza A virus (H1N1) compared with virus isolation and thus it is recommended as a diagnostic tool.

The purpose of this study was to understand mechanisms of scientific discovery and how this can help students, as young scientists, to understand scientific ideas in the science classroom. To unravel this mechanism, this study employed the notion of chaos. This phenomena was rediscovered by Edward Lorenz. In this paper, the general concept of chaos was briefly discussed in relation with previous scientific theories such as Newtonian physics and quantum mechanics. Following this, discovery constraints in terms of available technology at the time was described. In addition, Lorenz's psychological processes during the discovery was also discussed. Based on analysis, major implications for the field of science education were the provision of relevant schemata, the use of cognitive tools, the presentation of problems with various representational forms, and the sharing of ideas with others.

This study was attempted to standardize preparation methods of Korean foods; Pibimbab (mixed rice) and Kongnamul Pibimbab (sprout mixed rice with soybean). We followed cooking method by using cookbooks, food service operation recipes , materials distributed by commercial food restaurants from their own experimental kitchens, and home recipes. Before those recipes were standardized, we thoroughly analyzed and modified. The total yield and portions were determined together with weights and procedures. And we evaluated food made by standardized recipes for acceptability by taste panels from Sookmyung Women's University. It concluded that yield volume for Pibimbab and Kongnamul Pibimbab after cooking for 10 persons was 6.5 kg, optimum service temperature was 7$0^{\circ}C$, preparation time was 6 hours, service volumes by one person was 650 g. This presentation for above on food materials and material weights, preparation methodsas well as cautions and references are attached in this research paper.
