  • Background: The pathogenesis of orofacial cleft (OFC) is multifactorial, involving both genetic and non-genetic factors, the latter of which play a key role in the development of these anomalies. This paper addresses the incidence of OFC in Indonesia, with a focus on identifying and examining the distribution of contributory factors, including parental medical history, pregnancy history, and environmental influences. Methods: The study was conducted through the collection of primary data. An interdisciplinary research team from Indonesia administered a standardized questionnaire to parents who had children with OFC and who had provided informed consent. The case group comprised 133 children born with cleft lip and/or palate, and the control was 133 noncleft children born full-term. The risk factors associated with OFC anomalies were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 25. A p-value of 0.05 or less was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: The study comprised 138 children, of whom 82 were boys (59.4%) and 56 were girls (40.6%). Among them, 45 patients (32.6%) presented with both cleft lip and cleft palate, 25 individuals (18.1%) had a cleft palate only, and 28 patients (20.3%) had a cleft lip only. OFC was found to be significantly associated with a maternal family history of congenital birth defects (p<0.05), complications during the first trimester (p<0.05), consumption of local fish (p<0.05), caffeine intake (p<0.05), prolonged medication use (p<0.05), immunization history (p<0.05), passive smoking (p<0.05), and X-ray exposure during pregnancy (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicate close relationships between the incidence of OFC and maternal medical history, prenatal factors, and environmental influences.

  • 우리나라에서 전통적으로 환자의 자기결정권 내지 자율권은, 의사의 보고성 설명의무에 대응하는 알 권리 그리고 의사의 기여적 설명의무에 대응하는 수진 동의권 및 수진 거절권, 양자를 '중심'으로 해서 논의되어 왔다. 환자의 자율적 결정의 내용으로서 형성 피력되는, 자기 신체 및 의료 상황에 대해 알고 싶지 않은 희망과 그로 인한 이익에 관한 지위- 도덕적 법적 지위 - 는 환자로부터의 알 권리와 동의권의 포기 또는 (의사가 부담하는) 설명의무의 면제라는 소극적 지위 차원에서 인식되었다. 그리고 설명 동의 원칙 도그마의 적용에 의한 역기능 문제는 설명 동의 원칙의 적용 배제 및 그에 따른 의사의 책임 부인이라는 역시 소극적 접근법에 의해 '주로' 인식되었다. 즉 환자의 그러한 알고 싶지 않다는 '무지(無知)의 희망'을 실현시켜 줄 법적 수단이 환자의 '모를 권리' 및 의사의 '부작위 배려의무'라는 '적극적 지위'로 이해되고 인정되지 않았던 것이다. 이러한 당사자의 적극적 지위 설정이 전제되지 않으면 실제상 및 이론상 문제가 제기된다. 환자가 동의권을 포기한다고 선언하거나 의사의 설명의무를 면제한다고 표명했음에도 불구하고, 의사가 굳이 환자를 상대로 설명 내지 보고를 행하여 환자에게 큰 손해가 발생한 경우에, 의사의 그 행위를 규범적으로 어떻게 평가할 것인가가 문제인 것이다. 한편 의사가 설명의 역기능을 우려하여 설명을 행하지 않았고, 그 행태에 대해 적절한 것이란 평가가 가능한 경우에, 그 재량적 불설명의 적법성을 인정할 직접적 근거가 무엇인지를 밝히는 것 또한 문제이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 근본적으로 환자에게 '모를 권리'라는 지위를, 의사에게 '배려의무'라는 지위를 인정할 필요가 있다. 요컨대 이 권리와 의무 개념은 환자의 자율성 관념의 충실화와 설명역기능 현상의 적정한 방지라는 법규범적 요구를 충족시키는 데에 매우 유용한 도구로서 수용할 수 있다.

  • 국제민간항공협약 37조는 ICAO에서 제정하는 국제표준 및 권고에 따라 각국의 사정에 맞는 입법을 할 것을 요구하고 있다. 국제표준 및 권고는 매년 개정되고 있으므로 각 회원국은 적기에 해당 내용을 자국 항공법규에 반영할 필요가 있다. 최근에는 데이터 기반 국제표준이 만들어지고 있으며 그 이유는 인적요소를 주축으로 하여 사고예방을 위해서는 항공안전 데이터와 정보에 기반한 입법이 중요하게 되었기 때문이다. 데이터 기반 입법의 예로 안전관리시스템과 승무원 피로위험관리시스템이 검토 되었다. 안전관리시스템은 부속서 19가 2013년 채택되었으며 관련 매뉴얼 제5장에는 안전데이터의 수집과 분석 시스템에 기술되어 있다. 안전데이터와 정보의 분석을 통하여 의사결정권자는 데이터에 기반한 결정을 할 수 있다. 대한민국은 항공안전법 제58조에 따라 모든 항공사, 정비업체, 공항공사 등이 안전관리시스템을 도입하고 이행하여야 한다. 이러한 안전관리시스템을 뒷받침하기 위해서는 의무보고와 자발적 안전보고 시스템이 활성화 될 필요가 있으며 현재까지는 안전관리시스템 도입 위반에 대한 행정처분 기준은 아주 미미한 상태이다. 미국과 유럽도 안전관리시스템의 적절한 입법을 위하여 다양한 규정이 개발되어 시행되고 있다. 피로위험관리시스템의 경우 2009년 Colgan 항공기 추락을 계기로 미국교통안전위원회는 미연방항공청에 조종사 피로위험을 확인하고 관리할 수 있는 시스템 구축을 권고하였으며 2010년 미연방항공청에서 발행한 입법예고에는 약 8,000여개의 제안이 있었다. 2011년 최종법안이 통과되었으며 조종사의 조종사가 업무를 시작한 시간, 보조 승무원의 탑승여부, 휴식시설의 등급 등에 따라 승무시간을 차등 적용하는 입법이 이루어지게 되었다. 이러한 입법과정에 수많은 데이터와 정보가 분석되었으며 그 내용이 승무시간에 반영되었다. 최종 입법이 이루어지기 이전에 비용 대비 효과 분석이 실시되었으며 10년간 운영할 경우 비용보다는 효과가 더 크다는 결론이 이루어졌다. 대한민국도 승무원 피로위험 관련 항공안전법 조항이 있으며 항공사는 전통적인 승무시간 제한 방법 또는 피로위험관리시스템 둘 중 하나를 선택할 수 있다. 데이터 기반 입법을 위하여 미국의 경우 항공입법위원회를 구성하여 운영하고 있는데 이는 대한민국에도 도입이 필요한 내용이며 유럽에서 시행하고 있는 D4S도 고려할 만한 시스템이다. 비용 대비 효과 분석은 입법을 견고하게 할 수 있어 필요하다고 판단되며 데이터 기반 입법의 실효성을 제고하기 위해서는 전문 인력의 보강, 보다 자세한 점검표 작성 등이 필요하다.

  • Dental surgical procedures are potentially stress-inducing to not only patients but clinicians especially in case of medically compromised patients. The body response to dental stress involves the cardiovascular, respiratory and the endocrine system. To minimize the stress to the medically compromised patients, the stress reduction protocols should be established. The protocols include (1) Recognize the patient's degree of medical risk (2) Medical consultation before dental therapy (3) Schedule the patient's appointment in the morning (4) Monitor and record preoperative, perioperative and postoperative vital signs (5) Intra-venous sedation during surgical procedures (6) Adequate pain control during therapy (7) Short length of appointment time (8) Contact the patients on the same day. Two cases of Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws were analyzed. There were 2 women, and the mean age was 70 years (range, 64~74 years). both are medically compromised, with steroids. Both patients were taking an oral bisphosphonate for several years. BRONJ is defined as an area of exposed bone of more than 8 weeks - duration in a patient taking a bisphosphonate for bone disease. Bisphosphonates have been widely prescribed over the last decade for a range of bone diseases, mainly intravenously for bone cancers and orally for osteoporosis. Although it is still controversial as to precisely how the bisphosphonates work, generally it is accepted that they prevent osteoclast action, with consequent cessation of osteoblast activity, so that the bone turnover is markedly reduced or ceased. The aim of this study is to informed the clinicians how to prepare and recognize in case of the BRONJ with medically compromised patients.

  • Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among women in Malaysia. Despite the campaigns undertaken to raise the awareness of the public regarding breast cancer, breast cancer screening rates are still low in the country. The community pharmacist, as one of the most accessible healthcare practitioners, could play a role in the provision of breast cancer health promotion services to the community. However, there are no documented data regarding the community pharmacists' involvement in breast cancer related health promotion activities. Hence, this study was conducted to examine self-reported knowledge, practice and perception of community pharmacists on provision of breast cancer health promotion services and to investigate the barriers that limit their involvement. This cross-sectional survey conducted between May to September 2010, included a sample of 35 community pharmacists working in the districts of Hulu Langat and Sepang in state of Selangor. A 22-item validated questionnaire that included both closed and Lickert scale questions was used to interview those pharmacists who gave their informed consent to participate in the study. The data was analysed using SPSS. Only 11.3% of the community pharmacists answered all the questions on the knowledge section correctly. The mean overall knowledge of the community pharmacists on risk factors of breast cancer and screening recommendations is 56%. None of the respondents was currently involved in breast cancer health promotion activities. Lack of time (80%), lack of breast cancer educational materials (77.1%) and lack of training (62.9%) were the top three mentioned barriers. Despite these barriers, 94.3% (33) of the community pharmacists agreed that they should be involved in breast cancer health promotion activities. Hence, there is need to equip community pharmacists with necessary training and knowledge to enable them to contribute their share towards prevention and screening of breast cancer.

  • 각 국의 법령에서는 원자력발전소에서 발생할 수 있는 사고로부터 국민의 건강과 재산을 보호하기 위해 원자력발전소의 압력경계 주요 용접부 등에 대해서는 주기적으로 열화의 정도를 파악하기 위한 가동중 비파괴검사를 수행하도록 규정하고 있으며, 이를 뒷받침하기 위한 가동중검사 기술기준을 제정하여 이행하고 있다. 최근 리스크를 반영한 가동중검사 프로그램을 개발하여 적용을 시도하고 여지만, 기존의 결정론적 검사대상 선정 프로그램은 아직도 상당한 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 가동중검사에 관한 선진국 즉 미국, 프랑스, 캐나다, 일본 등의 기술기준과 IAEA에서 제시하는 안전지침의 비교검토를 통하여 현재 국내 가동중검사 기술기준의 개선방안을 모색하고자 하였다.

  • Objective: Increased aortic and carotid arterial augmentation index (AI) is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. The most widely used approach for determining central arterial AI is by calculating the aortic pressure waveform from radial arterial waveforms using a transfer function. But how the change of waveform by applied pressure and the pattern of the change rely on subject's characteristics has not been recognized. In this study, we use a new method for measuring radial waveform and observe the change of waveform and the deviation of radial AI in the same position by applied pressure. Method: Forty-six non-patient volunteers (31 men and 15 women, age range 21-58 years) were enrolled for this study. Informed consent in a form approved by the institutional review board was obtained in all subjects. Blood pressure was measured on the left upper arm using an oscillometric method, radial pressure waves were recorded with the use of an improved automated tonometry device. DMP-3000(DAEYOMEDI Co., Ltd. Ansan, Korea) has robotics mechanism to scan and trace automatically. For each subject, we performed the procedure 5 times for each applied pressure level. We could thus obtain 5 different radial pulse waveforms for the same person's same position at different applied pressures. All these processes were repeated twice for test reproducibility. Result: Aortic AI, peripheral AI and radial AI were higher in women than in men (P<0.01), radial AI strongly correlated with aortic AI, and radial AI was consistently approximately 39% higher than aortic AI. Relationship between representative radial AI of DMP-3000 and peripheral AI of SphygmoCor had strongly correlation. And there were three patterns in change of pulse waveform. Conclusion: In this study, it is revealed the new device was sufficient to measure how radial AI and radial waveform from the same person at the same time change under applied pressure and it had inverse-proportion to applied pressure.

  • Purpose: This study was done to identify the experiences of ethical issues and needs for ethics education in clinical nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was used and data were collected in 2013. Participants were 428 clinical nurses working in the general units of seven medical hospitals. The Ethical Issues in Clinical Practice Tool was used. Data analysis was performed using SPSS/WIN 19.0. Results: 'Providing care with a possible risk to your health' was the most frequent and disturbing ethical problems for nurses. The highest helpful ethical topic was 'the patients' right, autonomy and informed consent'. The ethical issue experience was significantly different according to education level, work units, and type of employment. The necessity of ethics education was statistically different according to age, religion, level of education, duration of working as RN, position, shift type, and continuing education about nursing ethics. Conclusion: The results of this study show that nursing educators need to provide practical ethics education based on frequent ethical issues and helpful education topics. These findings can be used in developing effective education strategies for clinical nurses and nursing organizations to improve nurses' ethical decision-making abilities.

  • Background: High risk human papilloma virus (HPV) types 16 and 18 have been proven as central causes of cervical cancer and safety and immunogenicity of HPV vaccines are sufficiently established. Knowledge and practices of HPV vaccination among medical and paramedical students is vital as these may strongly determine intention to recommend vaccination to others in the future. The present study was therefore undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination among medical and paramedical students and to analyze factors influencing them. Materials and Methods: The present cross sectional study, conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital in south India, included undergraduate students aged 18 years and above, belonging to medical, dental and nursing streams, after informed written consent. Results: Out of 957 participants, only 430 (44.9%) displayed good knowledge and only 65 (6.8%) had received HPV vaccination. Among the unvaccinated, 433 (48.54%), were not willing to take the vaccine. Concerns regarding the efficacy (30.5%), safety (26.1%) and cost of the vaccine (21.7%) were responsible for this. Age, gender, family history of malignancy and mother's education had no influence on knowledge. Compared to medical students, nursing students had better knowledge (OR-1.49, 95% CI 0.96 to 2.3, p = 0.072) and students of dentistry had poor knowledge (OR-0.50 95% CI 0.36 to 0.70, p<0.001). Conclusions: The knowledge and uptake of HPV vaccination among medical and paramedical students in India is poor. Targeted health education interventions may have huge positive impact not only on the acceptance of vaccination among them, but also on their intention to recommend the vaccine in future.
