본 연구는 뇌졸중 환자들의 퇴원 후 1개월까지의 물리치료양상 및 기능변화와 이에 관련된 요인을 알아보기 위해 1998년 1월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 약 5개월 간 부산시, 대구시, 구미시 및 안동시 등에 소재하고 있는 1개 병원에서 물리치료를 시작한 뇌졸중환자 87명을 대상으로 물리치료를 시작한 시점, 1개월 후, 퇴원 시, 그리고 퇴원 후 1개월이 지난 시점까지 추적하여 기능변화를 평가하였다. 뇌졸중환자의 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수는 26.32였고, PS점수는 11.34이었다. 물리치료 시작시점을 기준으로 할 때 입원 1개월 후의 81점수 변화는 평균 16.61(p<0.001). 퇴원 시는 33.51(p<0.001), 퇴원 1개월 후는 43.56 만큼 호전되었다(p<0.001). PS점수도 각각 -2.1, -3.94, 그리고 -5,52만큼 호전되었다(p<0.001). 그리고 퇴원시에 비해 퇴원 후의 변화도 81점수는 10.06만큼, PS점수는 -1.51만큼 모두 유의하게 호전되었다 (p<0.001). 물리치료 시작시점과 회원시의 BI점수 변화와 유의한 관련이 있는 요인은 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수와 연령이었는데(p<0.05), 시작시점의 BI점수가 낮고 연령이 낮을수록 기능호전이 컸다. 시작시점과 종료시점 사이의 변화는 시작시점의 BI점수. 퇴원시의 BI점수, 종교유무가 유의하게 관련이 이었다(p<0.05). 즉, 종교를 믿고 있거나 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수가 낮고 퇴원시의 BI 점수가 높을수록 기능호전이 컸다. 퇴원 시와 1개월 후에는 퇴원시의 BI점수와 종교유무였는데, 퇴원시의 BI점수가 낮고 종교를 믿는 환자에서 기능호전이 유의하게 컸다.(p<0.05). 물리치료 시작시점과 퇴원시의 PS점수 변화와 유의한 관련이 있는 요인은 물리치료 시작시점의 PS점수였는데(p<0.05), 시작시점의 PS점수가 높을수록 기능호전이 컸다. 시작시점과 종료시점사이는 시작시점의 PS점수, 퇴원시의 PS점수, 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료를 받았는지의 여부 등이었다(p<0.05). 즉, 시작시점의 PS점수가 높고, 퇴원시의 PS점수는 낮으면서 적극적으로 물리치료를 받은 환자가 기능호전이 켰다. 퇴원 시와 1개월 후에는 퇴원시의 PS접수가 높고 적극적으로 물리치료를 받을수록 기능호전이 유의하게 컸다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 요약하면, 뇌졸중환자의 물리치료 효과를 BI점수로 평가하면 물리치료 시작시점 및 퇴원시의 BI점수, 연령 및 종교유무가 중요한 요인이고, PS점수로 평가하면 시작시점 및 퇴원시의 PS점수와 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료를 받았는지의 여부가 중요한 요인으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to contribute to the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in 119 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) by evaluating ergonomic risk factors of patient lifting work-postures. Methods: Four procedures were evaluated: using long back-board (LBB) on the sitting and standing main stretcher, using variable stretcher on the sitting and standing main stretcher. Wok-postures were assessed during training. Results: In using LBB on the sitting main stretcher, the OWAS-score was Mode:3 (Mean:2.30, Maximum:3), the REBA-score was Mode:9 (Mean:7.61, Maximum:11), requiring improvement soon. In using LBB on the standing main stretcher, the OWAS-score was Mode:3 (Mean:2.33, Maximum:3), requiring as soon as possible corrective action, the REBA-score was Mode:6 (Mean:5.44, Maximum:11), requiring improvement. In using variable stretcher on the sitting main stretcher, the OWAS-score was Mode:1 (Mean:1.85, Maximum:3), not requiring corrective action, the REBA-score was Mode:6 (Mean:6.78, Maximum:11), requiring improvement. In using variable stretcher on the standing main stretcher, the OWAS-score was Mode:3 (Mean:2.84, Maximum:3), requiring as soon as possible corrective action, the REBA-score was Mode:11 (Mean:9.38, Maximum:11), requiring immediate improvement. Conclusion: All four-procedures showed improvement in work-posture. Thereby, required attention and management in training, occupational health professionals should participate in change of lifting-method, and programs aimed at preventing MSDs should be developed and implemented in fire-academy and fire-station.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the score data released by the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation to find out the problems with the current scoring system provided by the College Scholastic Ability Test and to suggest improvement measures to solve these problems. Methods: We calculated the descriptive statistics of the standard scores using the frequency distribution table of the standard scores and identified the characteristics of the standard scores by expressing the distribution as a graph. Also, we developed an index to evaluate whether each stanine level was stably assigned and calculated the indexes for each area/subject by using the data on the number of examinees for each level. Results: We found that the relationship of conversion from raw scores to integerized standard scores is different depending on the size of the standard deviation of the raw scores, and identified the problem that the raw score information is not fairly reflected in the calculation of the percentile and level as the two raw scores are converted to one standard score. This problem can be solved by calculating the standard score to a decimal point. Conclusion: In this study, as a way to improve the quality of the scores of the current CSAT, the standard score and percentile decimal notation, the specific regulations of the standard score and stanine level calculation method, and the expansion of the open range of the scores were suggested.

Objectives : To compare the multiple outcomes of patients with cataract surgery at perioperative time,3-4 months and 12 months after surgery and to assess patient outcomes associated with visual improvement(visual acuity of operated eye, visual function-14(VF-14), symptom score). Methods : For this assessment, a prospective study was conducted with 389 patients who had undergone cataract surgery for either one eye or both eyes. The surgery was peformed by 20 ophthalmologists who were practicing at university hospitals and general hospitals. Patients were interviewed and clinical data were obtained. Doctors were questioned with self-reported questionnaire forms. Medical records were examined in order to measure variables related to the surgical process such as surgical methods and ocular comorbidity. The survey was 'conducted at 4 stages' : preoperative time(389 cases), perioperative time(344 cases, 88.4%), postoperative 3-4 months (343 cases, 88.2%), and postoperative 12 months (281 cases, 72.2%). After excluding cases with incomplete data, 198 cases were enrolled in the study. Patient outcomes was measured for any improvement in the functional outcomes(visual acuity of operated eye, visual function, symptom score) at postoperative 3-4 months. Results : The visual acuity(operated, weighted average), symptom score, VF-14 score, satisfaction with vision, and subjective health status were shown to be improved at the perioperative time, postoperative 3-4 months and 12 mouths. An improvement in the Snellen visual acuity score was observed in 190 patients(96.0%), whereas improvements of the VF-14 score and cataract symptom sure were observed in 151 patients(76.3%) and 179 patients(90.4%), respectively. All three outcome measures demonstrated improvement in 137 patients(09.2%). The improvement of the three functional outcomes at 3-4 months after receiving surgery was associated with a lower level of visual function and a higher level of cataract symptom score at perioperative time, as well as a greater experience level of the surgeon. Conclusions : In this study, the estimates of the proportion of patients benefiting from cataract surgery varied with the outcome measure of benefit. Preoperative VF-14 score, a measure of functional impairment related to vision, and symptom score may be better measures of the benefit derived from cataract surgery than the change in visual acuity.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of Korean Medicine Treatment on 101 psoriasis patients for 6 months. Methods : Psoriasis Area and Severity Index(PASI) is used for measuring the degree of psoriasis with photos of total 101 psoriasis patients who have visited Korean medical clinic from October 11, 2013 to August 31, 2017. And we analyzed the PASI score according to gender, age, period of treatment, being used steroid or not. Results : 1. The ratio of male to female was 44.55 : 55.45. The mean age of patients was 34.65 years old(All patients were constituted with 9.9% of 10~19 year-old group, 31.7% of 20~29 year-old group, 26.7% of 30~39 year-old group, 12.9% of 40~49 year-old group, 15.8% of 50~59 year-old group and 3.0% of 60~69 year-old group). 2. PASI score was significantly higher in men than in women before treatment, but there was no significant difference of PASI score improvement after 2, 4 and 6 months treatment in both men and women. 3. PASI score improvement according to age after 2, 4 and 6 months treatment was no significant difference. 5. In initial visit, the steroid group patients were 61 and non-steroid group patients were 40. PASI score in initial visit between steroid group and non-steroid group was no significant difference. And PASI score after 2, 4 and 6 months treatment was no significant difference. Conclusions : PASI score was significantly decreased after 2, 4 and 6 months treatment compared with before treatment. PASI score improvement was significantly increased in proportion to the period of treatment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical outcomes and efficacy of hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head after the failure of porous tantalum rod insertion without rod removal. Materials and Methods: Conversion to hip resurfacing arthroplasty was performed in 10 patients (11 hips) with a mean period of 14.9 months after the primary surgery. The mean follow-up period was 73.7 months. Analysis of pre and postoperative range of motion (ROM), University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, modified Harris hip score, and visual analog scale (VAS) pain score was performed. Radiographic analysis of component loosening and osteolysis was performed. Results: The postoperative ROM showed significant improvement (P<0.05), excluding flexion contracture. The modified Harris hip score showed improvement from 65.82 to 96.18, the UCLA score showed improvement from 4.18 to 8.00, and the VAS pain score was reduced from 6.09 to 1.80. All scores showed statistically significant improvement (P<0.05). No component loosening or osteolysis was detected by radiographic analysis. Conclusion: Satisfactory results were obtained from conversion hip resurfacing arthroplasty after failure of porous tantalum rod insertion without rod removal. The findings of this study demonstrate the advantages of HRA, including no risk of trochanteric fracture and no bone loss around the tantalum rod. In addition, the remaining porous tantalum rod provided mechanical support, which reduced the potential risk of femoral neck fracture or loosening. This technique can be regarded as a favorable treatment option.
