Purpose: Clinical characteristics and medical cost were analyzed according to the surgical procedures for intertrochanteric fracture in aged patients to assess the appropriateness of treatment expense and to find possibility of reducing the medical cost. Method: Variable for the statistical analysis were; the clinical characteristics, medical cost according to the surgical procedures, the treatment success rate, the total medical expense, and the average expense per case. SAS Package Version 8.02. was used to analyze the relevant data. Results: Operative procedures differ significantly according to the gender and by the location of institution. Only significant clinical variables according to the operative procedure were duration of general anesthesia and amount of blood transfusion. Average cost per treatment was the highest in the bipolar hemiarthroplasty followed by the gamma nail and hip compressing screw. Average cost for bipolar hemiarthroplasty was significantly higher than other surgical procedures. Conclusions: The difference in hospital costs for treatment of intertrochanteric fracture originates from the utilized surgical procedures, mostly by the materials used. The method of surgical treatment should be carefully determined by the purpose of the surgery, in order to improve the quality of medical care and also to reduce the hospital cost.

In this paper, a preliminary study is performed on the subset selection procedures which are based on the trimmed means and the Hodges-Lehmann estimator derived from the Wilcoxon test. The proposed procedures are compared to the Gupta's rule through a small smaple Monte Carlo study. The results show that the procedures based on the robust estimators are successful in terms of efficiency and robustness.

For the polymatroidal network, which has set-constraints on arcs, solution procedures to get the weighted maximal flows are investigated. These procedures are composed of the transformation of the polymatroidal network flow problem into a polymatroid intersection problem and a polymatroid intersection algorithm. A greedy polymatroid intersection algorithm is presented, and an example problem is solved. The greedy polymatroid intersection algorithm is a variation of Hassin's. According to these procedures, there is no need to convert the primal problem concerned into dual one. This differs from the procedures of Hassin, in which the dual restricted problem is used.

In this paper, we propose some nonparametric subset selection procedures for scale parameters based on rank-likes. The proposed procedures are compared to the Gupta-Sobel's parametric prcedure through a small-sample Monte Carlo study. The results show that the nonparametric procedures are quite robust for heavy-tailed distributions, but they have somewhat low efficiencies.

This paper is to propose two computation procedures of reliability measures for large interval data. First method is efficient to verify the relationship among four reliability measures such as F(t), R(t), f(t) and $\lambda(t)$. Another method is effective to interpret the concept of various reliability measures. This study is also to reinterpret and recompute the errors of four reliability measures discovered in the reliability textbooks. Various numerical examples are presented to illustrate the application of two proposed procedures.

설문조사에서 어떤 주제와 관련된 여러 항목들을 제시하고 응답자들의 가치 기준에 따라 응답하게 한 후, 그 응답들을 종합하여 항목들 간의 순위를 결정할 목적으로 설문을 제시하는 경우가 많이 있다. 이 경우 가장 일반적으로 사용하는 것이 순위척도(ranking scales)와 평정 척도(rating scales)이다. 순위척도 중에서도 주어진 항목들 중 가장 중요한 것을 하나 이상 선택하게 하는 축소순위척도(reduced ranking scales)가 많이 사용된다. 그러나 실제로 항목간의 순위를 결정하는 과정에서 순위응답을 고려하는 경우는 극히 드물다. 본 연구는 순위절차(ranking procedures)에 의한 설문응답에서, 순위응답을 고려하여 항목순위를 결정하는 방법들을 고찰하였다. 또 몇 가지 사례를 통해 그 방법들을 비교 분석하였으며, 이 과정에서 순위척도를 조건부평정척도로 간주하였다. 축소순위척도에 의한 항목순위결정의 경우, 1순위와 2순위 그리고 3순위에 각각 2와 1 그리고 0의 값을 부여함으로써 1순위의 응답비율을 희석하지 않으면서 2순위 응답비율을 적절히 수용하여 보다 합리적인 항목순위를 결정할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The Essential Surgical Procedures in Trauma (ESPIT) course was developed as a model to teach necessary surgical procedures to trauma physicians. Its goals are to improve knowledge, self-confidence, and technical competence. Methods: The ESPIT course consisted of five lectures and a porcine lab operative experience. The ESPIT course has been run seven times between February 2014 and April 2016. ESPIT participants completed a questionnaire to assess self-efficacy regarding essential surgical procedures in trauma before and immediately after taking the ESPIT course. Sixty-three participants who completed both pre- and post-course questionnaires on self-efficacy were enrolled in this study. Results: The overall post-ESPIT mean self-efficacy score was higher than the pre-ESPIT mean self-efficacy score ($8.3{\pm}1.30$ and $4.5{\pm}2.13$, respectively) (p<0.001). Self-efficacy was significantly improved after the ESPIT course in general surgeons (p<0.001), thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons (p<0.001), emergency medicine doctors, and others (neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons) (p<0.001). The differences in self-efficacy score according to career stage (<1 year, 1-3 years, 3-5 years, and >5 years) were also statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusions: The data of the ESPIT participants indicated that they felt that the ESPIT course improved their self-efficacy with regard to essential surgical procedures in trauma. The ESPIT course may be an effective strategy for teaching surgical procedures, thus promoting better management of traumatic injuries.

원자력 발전소의 비상운전절차서는 작성단계부터 난점이 많이 있고, 작성된 절차서를 착인 및 검증하는 데에도 많은 어려움이 따른다 캐나다의 원자력 규제기관인 AECB에서도 원자력발전소의 운전 허가를 받는 데 있어 발전소 비상운전 절차서를 하나의 요구조건으로 삼고 있는데, 그 요구조건은 발전소 내외의 비상상황에 대처하기 위한 상세한 계획 및 절차를 개발하는 것이다. 본 보고서에서는 미국의 원자력 발전소 비상운전 계획을 참고하고 있는 캐나다 원자력 발전소용 비상운전절차 표준지침서를 검토하고, 캐나다 비상운전 절차서 들의 현재 경향을 알아보았으며, 캔두형 발전소들의 비상운전 절차를 사고의 범위(개별적인 사고의 종류 지정), 사고진단 방법(사건 대응적, 징후 대응적, 또는 이 두 가지 방법의흔합형), 절차서 형식 등을 중점으로 비교 검토하고, 각 절차서의 내용을 포괄적으로 종합하여 현재 건설중인 월성 원자력 발전소 2, 3, 4호기용 비상운전절차서의 기본방향을 징후 대응적절차서(사고진단이 안될 경우 사용)와 논리도표와 문장이 혼합된 형식의 사건파악적절차서로 이루어진 비상운전절차서로 제시하였다.

Background: This study analyzed the demographic characteristics of patients with facial palsy who were treated using either dynamic or static procedures. This study aimed to compare the frequency of procedure implementation and age distribution between the two groups. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients treated for facial palsy at a single institution from 2014 to 2022. Among cases included in our study, dynamic procedures involved cross-facial nerve graft and latissimus dorsi or gracilis muscle flap transfer. Static procedures included gold weight insertion, canthopexy, browlift, and thread lift/static slings. Results: Among the 31 patients included in our study, eight (25.8%) incorporated dynamic techniques, and the average age of patients was 44.75 years (range, 24-68 years) with a male to female ratio of 1:4. The remaining 23 patients (74.2%) underwent a static procedure, of which the average age was 59.17 years (range, 23-81 years) which was statistically significantly higher than the average age of 44.75 of dynamic patients (p= 0.013). Regarding the timing of treatment after diagnosis, no patient underwent dynamic procedures more than 20 years after initial diagnosis. A greater diversity in the timing of treatment was observed in the static group. All patients who underwent dynamic procedures were treated using static procedures during the study period. Conclusion: Because aesthetics-based static techniques are typically quick outpatient procedures that can be performed under local anesthesia, our study shows that these are often preferred treatments for all age groups, especially for debilitated or older patients. Further research is required to investigate the long-term functional outcomes of these surgical techniques in a wider population of patients.
