  • A cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing staff of a missionary hospital of Delhi in June 2009. All the nurses were invited to participate in the training programme on breast cancer and techniques of breast self examination (BSE). A questionnaire was administered to all 259 participants seeking information on their level of awareness regarding breast cancer and relevant screening guidelines. With the help of 5 training workshops all the nurses were imparted training regarding the most appropriate technique of doing breast self exams. The mean age of the participants was 35.8 years. Out of a total of 259 nursing staff members 77.2% correctly answered all the 10 questions regarding high risk factors for breast cancer and after the training programme this increased to 100% (p<0.05). Only 65.2% of the participants gave correct responses to all the 8 questions regarding correct technique of performing a BSE, which after the training programme increased to 99.3% (p<0.05). At the baseline only 56.8% knew all the three screening methods correctly and after the intervention 98.7% could correctly mark the responses regarding screening (p<0.05). The actual practice of following the screening guidelines amongst the nursing staff was poor. Only 26 (10.03%) had ever done a BSE, none performed it monthly, 58 (22.4%) had ever gone themselves for a CBE and 18 (6. 94%) had ever undergone mammography.

  • Background: The two basic methods that are currently accepted to identify the HER2 status are immunohistochemistry and flyorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The aim of this study was to perform the dual-color silver in situ hybridization (dc-SISH) technique as an alternative to FISH. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 invasive breast carcinoma cases were assessed for HER2 gene amplification by FISH and dual-color SISH. Results: Significant correlation was found in the HER2 expression results obtained with the two approaches (p=0.001, p<0.05). The concordance rate was 92.3%. Conclusions: Foutine practical use of the dc-SISH method, which is much easier to apply, score, and evaluate, has many advantages. HER2 and CEN17 status can be evaluated simultaneously with the newly developed "Dual-Color Probe". All these specifications and the reliable results obtained support the widespread use of SISH technique in clinical practice.

  • This study was performed to investigate prevalence of clonorchiasis among the inhabitants living in villages along the 4 major rivers, Nakdong-gang (= river), Seomjin-gang, Youngsan-gang, and Guem-gang in southern Korea. From January to December 2006, a total of 24,075 stool samples (1 sample per an inhabitant) were collected in 23 localities and examined by the formalin-ether sedimentation technique. Of the inhabitants examined, 3,441 (14.3%) were found to harbor various types of intestinal parasite eggs, cysts or larvae. Numbers of infected people were 2,661 (11.1%) for Clonorchis sinensis, 431 (1.8%) for heterophyids, 226 (0.9%) for Entamoeba spp., 57 (0.2%) for Giardia lamblia, 30 (0.1%) for Trichuris trichiura, and 18 (0.07%) for echinostomes. Prevalence rates of clonorchiasis according to the river basin were 17.1% in Nakdong-gang, 11.2% in Seomjin-gang, 5.5% in Youngsan-gang and 4.6% in Guem-gang. Of the 2,661 C. sinensis egg-positive cases, 57.7% was male. The present findings suggest that clonorchiasis is still highly prevalent among inhabitants in the riverside areas of southern Korea, and it is necessary to implement a systematic control program in the endemic areas.

  • 본 논문에서 우리는 스마트 유모차를 위한 비콘과 스마트 기기 기반 도난 방지 기술을 제안한다. 스마트 유모차는 두 개의 블루투스 기기를 내장한다. 하나의 블루투스는 데이터 상호 교환을 위한 것이며, 또 다른 블루투스는 거리 측정을 위한 비콘으로 사용한다. 즉, 스마트 기기는 데이터 상호 교환 기능으로 근력 보조 레벨 설정, 유모차 수동 잠금과 유모차 정보 제공 등에 사용하며, 비콘 기능을 이용하여 스마트 기기와 유모차의 주기적인 거리를 측정하여 거리가 멀어지는 경우 도난 방지 기능이 동작하게 한다. 우리는 도난 방지 기능의 성능을 높이기 위해 향상된 비콘 거리 측정 기술을 이용한 거리 측정 알고리즘과 도난 방지 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 제안 방법의 효용성을 확인하기 위해 스마트 기기 애플리케이션을 개발하고 스마트 유모차를 제작하여 2가지 거리 측정 실험과 하나의 도난 방지 실험을 하였으며, 그 결과 91.3%의 도난 방지 정확성을 나타냈다. 따라서 제안한 도난 방지 기술은 스마트 유모차에 보다 유용한 기술이 될 것이다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a respiratory infection prevention program for the rural elderly in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era. Methods: The Delphi method was used to validate the contents of the program. Two rounds of Delphi surveys and one individual interview were conducted on four subjects and 16 categories with nine experts. Content validity was calculated using the content validity ratio (CVR) and coefficient of variation (CV). Results: This study verified the content validity of the existing program components, such as respiratory infection prevention characteristics, cough etiquette, correct hand washing, oral hygiene, correct tooth brushing, and exercise by walking. The study comprised 28 categories covering seven subjects, including the provision of knowledge and information about COVID-19, environmental management for respiratory infection prevention, and exercise training for immunity enhancement. Conclusion: This Delphi study examined the respiratory infection prevention program that was redesigned for the post-COVID-19 era and confirmed the validity of the educational contents. The findings of this study suggest that the program can be used practically for the prevention of respiratory infection among the rural elderly.

  • 본 연구에서는 퍼지제어기법을 이용한 홍수조절 모형의 적용성을 파악하기 위해 한강수계 단일댐에 적용하였다. 개발된 모형들의 홍수조절능력을 비교하기 위해 1984, 1990, 1995년 대홍수 발생시 실제 운영실적과 본 연구에서 개발된 모형들의 가상운영결과를 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 3개 모형은 모두 실제 적용성을 고려하여 댐의 수위와 유입량이라는 2가지 정보량으로부터 방류량을 결정토록 하였으며, 최대방류량 역시 댐 설계시 기준인 허용최대방류량을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 각 홍수사상에 대해 적용한 결과 기존의 댐 운영결과에 비해 홍수위를 낮출 수 있으면서도 하류부의 피해 최소화에도 적절한 것으로 나타나 퍼지제어모형의 적용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Opisthorchis viverrini is still a serious problem in Northeastern and Northern Thailand. Active surveillance is required to determine updated data for further prevention and control planning. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the prevalence and risk factors for O. viverrini in three provinces, Northeastern Thailand. A cross-sectional survey was conducted during October 2015 to March 2016 at Kaeng Sanam Nang district of Nakhon Ratchasima province, Waeng Noi district of Khon Kaen province, and Khon Sawan district of Chaiyaphum province, Thailand. Stool samples were examined by using a modified Kato-Katz Thick smear technique. From a total of 978 participants screened, O. viverrini infection was found in 1.74%, the majority opf positive cases being male (6.62%), age group 51-60 years old (4.21%), educated at primary school (8.43%), occupied with agriculture (9.62%),having an income <4,000 baht per month (4.82%), and living in Khon Sawan district (8.43%). Participants had a high knowledge level (42.43%), good attitude level (34.76%), and fair level (38.04%). The present study indicates the O. viverrini infection rate is low, but elderly males with primary school education involved in agriculture are still frequently effected particularly in Khon Sawan district. Therefore, this risk group requires behavior modification and continued monitoring.
