Sweet's syndrome also known as acute neutrophilic dermatosis is a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by fever, malaise, leukocytosis, and skin lesions. Sweet's syndrome affects multiple organs though only rarely does it affect the central nervous system (CNS) when it does it is called Neuro-Sweet disease (NSD). We report on a case study of a biopsy-proven NSD in a 50 year old man. Serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed repeated CNS involvement of Sweet's syndrome after a respiratory tract infection preceded it. On the MRI, T2 hyperintense lesions occurred at multiple sites and disappeared after steroid therapy.

A specific FUS-MRI platform was designed for breast cancer treatment. phased array technologies, sideways FUS transmission, and spatio-temporal temperature control in the complete region of interest, were combined for a novel therapy approach with enhanced safety and afficacy. A phase I clinical trial will start soon.

Adenosarcoma of the uterus is a rare biphasic tumor containing benign glandular epithelial and malignant mesenchymal components. The tumor has been reported to be associated with antiestrogen therapy, particularly tamoxifen, but there have been a few case reports with MRI. We present two cases of MRI findings of uterine adenosarcoma after antiestrogen therapy, tamoxifen and toremifene in breast cancer patients. The tumor presents as a large polypoid mass occupying the endometrial cavity, and may protrude into the vagina. On MRI, the tumor typically shows solid components with scattered small cysts and heterogeneous enhancement. These findings are not significantly different from conventional adenosarcoma.

Background: In some clinical guidelines followed in clinical practice, nonsurgical treatments are recommended as the primary intervention for patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). However, the effect of a therapeutic exercise program based on stabilization of the lumbar spine for treatment of multilevel LDH has not been evaluated thoroughly. Objective: To investigate the effects of therapeutic exercise on pain, physical function, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a patient with multilevel LDH. Design: Case Report Methods: A 43-year-old female presented with low back pain, radicular pain and multilevel LDH (L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1). The therapeutic exercise program was conducted. in 40-min sessions, three times a week, for 12 weeks. Low back and radicular pain, lumbar disability, and physical function were measured before and after 6 and 12 weeks of the exercise program. MRI was performed before and after 12 weeks of the program. Results: After 6 and 12 weeks of the therapeutic exercise, low back and radicular pain and lumbar disability had decreased, and lumbar range of motion (ROM) was improved bilaterally, compared with the initial values. Also improved at 6 and 12 weeks were isometric lumbar strength and endurance, and the functional movement screen score. The size of disc herniations was decreased on MRI obtained after 12 weeks of therapeutic exercise than on the pre-exercise images. Conclusions: We observed that therapeutic exercise program improved spinal ROM, muscle strength, functional capacity, and size of disc herniation in LDH patient.

Radiation-induced lumbosacral plexopathy (RILSP) is an uncommon complication of pelvic radiotherapy that can result in different degrees of sensory and motor deficits. An age 59 female with cervical cancer, who had received combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy two years before, presented with bilaterally symmetric lower-extremity weakness and tingling sensation. The magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse T2 bright signal intensity and mild enhancement along the bilateral lumbosacral plexus with no space-occupying masses. RILSP was diagnosed after the exclusion of malignant and inflammatory plexopathies.

본 연구는 음악요법이 자기공명영상(MRI) 검사로 인한 불안정도와 검사시 불편감에 미치는 음악요법의 효과를 파악하고자 시도된 비동등성 대조군 사전-사후 실험설계의 유사실험이다. "음악요법을 받은 군은 음악요법을 받지 않는 군보다 검사 중 불안 점수가 낮을 것이다"는 음악요법 실시 후 실험군의 불안점수가 대조군의 불안점수와 비교하여 유의한 차이가 있어 채택되었다. "음악요법을 받은 군은 음악요법을 받지 않는 군보다 검사 후 활력징후가 낮을 것이다"는 수축기 혈압, 이완기혈압에 대한 가설은 기각되었지만, 맥박에서는 유의 한 차이가 나타나 부분적으로 채택 되었다. "음악요법을 받은군은 음악요법을 받지 않는 군보다 주간적 불편감이 낮을 것이다"는 두 집단간의 유의한 차이를 보였다. 한편 주관적인 불편감의 하부요인 중 긴장감 에서만 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 동통, 어지러움, 공포감에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이상의 연구결과로 볼 때 음악요법은 자기공명영상(MRI) 검사중 환자의 상태불안을 감소시킬 수 있는 유용한 대체검사법이 될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

Nummular eczema is well-shaped, coin-like lesion. Usually it is surrounded by the papules and vesicles, and is likely to be the impetigo. It's said that nummular eczema is combined with atopic dermititis, contact dermatitis, bacterial infection and so on. Recently, we experienced a nummular eczema with impetigo and that was successfully treated by the herb-medication and the ceramic resonance therapy. The medications taken by the patient were yunwhasagnatang and gamisopungsan which is used to treat allergic disease and make immune system be strong. The former effects the liver to be cool down and healthy and it also has anti-imflamatory reactions like the corticosteroid hormone. Ceramic resonance therapy utilises irradiation within the frequency range of the radiation emitted by the human body. So we report this case with a brief review of the oriental medical and medical literatures.

A 4-year-old male Miniature Pinscher was referred because of head tilt, nystagmus, and ataxia. The hemogram revealed a moderate neutrophilic leukocytosis. On magnetic resonance imaging, cerebellar inflammation was detected. And cerebrospinal fluid analysis indicated marked neutrophilic pleocytosis. Based on these results, bacterial meningoencephalitis was suspected. The clinical signs were well controlled by a combination antibiotics therapy of the third generation cephalosporins (cefotaxime and cefixime) and metronidazole. We tentatively diagnosed this case as a bacterial meningoencephalitis because clinical signs were improved after only antibiotics therapy and relapsed when stopped antibiotics administrations, even though the result of bacterial culture on communication of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was negative.

General characteristics of speech in deft palate patients are hypemasality and articulation disorder, which are affected by velopharyngeal inadequacy(VPI). 17 subjects with a chief complaint of 'nasal sounds and inaccurate pronunciation' underwent a speech-language evaluation before and after pharyngoplasty. Hypemasality and obligatory articulation errors were improved but compensatory articulation errors remained after pharyngoplasty. Above mentioned results indicate that resonance may be normal or improved following successful surgical management of VPI but, compensatory articulation errors will still persist. The separate recognition of hypemasality, compensatory and obligatory articulation errors in deft palate patients is important in determining the timing of therapy and selection of appropriate targets in therapy.
