  • Background: This is a descriptive study to determine whether coursework that is focused on early diagnosis in cancer makes a difference in self-reported health promoting lifestyle behavior of students who study health management. Materials and Methods: The population of the study consisted of a sample of 104 students enrolled in the Department of Health Management at the Faculty of Health in Kirikkale University in Turkey. Forty-eight students enrolled in a course called "Early Diagnosis of Cancer" and fifty-six did not take this course. Demographic information was collected and the "Health Promotion Life-Style Profile (HPLP)" was used to collect health promotion data. Frequency and descriptive statistics including one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis tests were used to evaluate data. Results: The HPLP mean score of the students was found to be $127.5{\pm}17.45$. The highest mean score was observed for self-fulfillment and health responsibility, while the lowest was for diet and exercise sub-scales. It was found that certain variables were effective in developing health promoting lifestyle behaviors such as choosing this job voluntarily, working status of father and participation in social activity (p<0.05). In conclusion, it was found that the students had moderate levels of health promoting lifestyle behavior and they should be supported in terms of diet and exercise.

  • In order to help understand the growth mechanisms of demetallization due to self healing on a metallized polypropylene film (MPPF), several types of defects affecting the breakdown of capacitor dielectrics were made. The breakdown voltages with dielectric thickness were measured at self healing and the demetallized area was evaluated for all of the self healing events. The shapes and growth processes of the demetallized spots on the dielectrics were investigated. As a result, self healing mainly occurred at pin tips, wrinkle sides, and junctions of the wrinkles, and the breakdown voltages strongly depended on the thickness of the dielectrics. In addition, the demetallized area due to self healing was governed by the breakdown voltage and it has been mainly grown by some factors; the applied voltage; the consequent self healing events taking place at the circumference of the original self healing spots; the conductive paths formed by two or more self healing spots and by the consequent self healing spots.

  • Sleepiness, or hypersomnia, is a relatively common complaint and one of the main problems of modern society. Accurate evaluation and diagnosis of sleepiness are important. The methods used for evaluating sleepiness are subjective measures or self-evaluations, performance decrease measures, sleep propensity measures, and arousal decrease measures. A clear and detailed history is important in differential diagnosis of sleepiness because symptoms of sleepiness may be expressed in terms of 'tiredness' or 'fatigue' that do not directly denote sleepiness. Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is also invaluable because these symptoms may result from a variety of causes ranging from medical disorders to insufficient nocturnal sleep.

  • '원격의료(telemedicine)'란 '의료인이 정보통신기술을 이용하여 원격으로 실시하는 의료행위'라고 정의할 수 있다. 지금까지 우리나라의 통설은 의료법 제34조를 근거로 의료인 간의 원격자문만 허용되고, 의료인과 환자 간의 원격의료는 금지되는 것으로 이해하였다. 그러나, 의료법 제34조는 의료업 수행에 대한 장소적 제한 규정일 뿐, 원격의료 자체를 금지하는 규정은 아니다. 그 외 현행 의료법에는 원격의료를 금지하는 규정이 존재하지 않는다. 건강보험 요양급여기준과 별개로 현행 의료법 해석상 원격의료가 일반적으로 금지된다고 보기는 어렵다. 다만, 의료법 제17조와 제17조의2에서의 '직접 진찰'의 의미와 관련해서 해석상 논란이 있다. 헌법재판소는 이를 '대면 진찰'로 해석한 반면, 대법원은 '스스로 진찰'로 해석하였다. '직접'의 사전적 의미와 관련 의료법 규정에 대한 해석 등에 비추어 볼 때, 대법원의 해석이 타당하다고 생각한다. '직접 진찰'이 '대면 진찰'을 의미하지는 않더라도, '진찰'의 개념 안에 '대면진찰의 원칙'이 내포되어 있고 '비대면 진찰'은 대면진찰을 보완하는 수준에서만 허용되기 때문에 비대면진찰로 인한 문제점은 충분히 극복할 수 있다고 본다. 결국은 진찰이 얼마나 충실하였느냐, 즉 '진찰의 충실성' 여부가 원격진료 허용의 한계라고 할 수 있다.

  • Background: Mycobacterial identification in active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB) is confirmative, even though successful rates using self-expectorated sputum are limited. Sputum specimens collected by hypertonic saline nebulization showed higher bacteriologic diagnostic sensitivities over those of self-expectoration, mostly studied in smear-negative or sputum-scarce patients. The efficacy of induced sputum was rarely assessed in real clinical settings. Methods: A prospective randomized case-control study was performed in one hospital. The subjects highly suspicious of APTB were asked to provide 3 pairs of sputum specimens in 3 consecutive days. The first pairs of the specimens were obtained either by self-expectoration (ES) from the next day of the visit or sputum induction with 7% saline nebulization in clinic (SI), and the other specimens were collected in the same way. The samples were tested in microscopy, culture, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The outcomes of the bacteriological diagnosis were compared. Results: Seventy six patients were assigned to either ES (38 subjects, median age of 51, 65.8% male) or SI (38 subjects, median age of 55, 52.6% male). APTB was clinically confirmed in 51 patients (70.8%), 27 in ES and 24 in SI. Among the APTB, more adequate specimens were collected from SI (41/65, 63.1%) than ES (34/80, 42.5%) (p=0.01). Bacteriological confirmation was achieved in 14 (58.3%) patients in SI, and 13 (48.1%) in ES (p=0.46). In the same-day bacteriological diagnosis with microscopy and PCR, there were positive results for 9 patients (37.5%) in SI and 7 patients (25.9%) in ES (p=0.37). Conclusion: Sputum induction improves sputum specimen adequacy. It may be useful for the same-day bacteriological diagnosis with microscopic examination and PCR.

  • On-Board Diagnostic(OBD) systems are in most cars and light trucks on the load today. During the 1970's and early 1980's manufacturers started using electronic means to control engine functions and diagnose engine problems. The CARB's diagnostic requirements to meet EPA emission standards have been designated as OBD with a goal of monitoring all of the emissions-related components, as well as the chassis, body, accessory devices and the diagnostic control network of the vehicle for proper operation. In this paper, we present a remote measurement system for the wireless monitoring of diagnosis signal and sensors output signals of ECU adopted KWP2000, united the OBD communication protocol, on OBD-compliant vehicle using the wirless communication technique of Bluetooth. In order to measure the ECU signals, the interface circuit is designed to communicate ECU and designed terminal wirelessly according to the ISO, SAE regulation of communication protocol standard. A microprocessor S3C3410X is used for communicating ECU signals. The embedded system's software is programmed to measure the ECU signals using the ARM compiler and ANCI C based on MicroC/OS kernel to communicate between bluetooth modules using bluetooth stack. The diagnostic system is developed using Visual C++ MFC and protocol stack of bluetooth for Windows environment. The self-diagnosis and sensor output signals of ECU is able to monitor using PC with bluetooth board connected in serial port of PC. The algorithms for measuring the ECU sensor output and self-diagnostic signals are verified to monitor ECU state. At the same time, the information to fix the vehicle's problem can be shown on the developed monitoring software. The possibility for remote measurement of self-diagnosis and sensor signals of ECU adopted KWP2000 in embedded system verified through the developed systems and algorithms.

  • The purposes of this study were to evaluate the results of the hospital self inspection with the medical insurance and to offer basic materials to the medical insurance inspection and the education of medical insurance. The study was undertaken with 4,730 cases among the total 13,810 medical insurance in patients from Jan. 1990 to Dec. 1990 at one university hospital in Pusan. The major contents of the inspection were the omission of diagnosis and medical fee, curtailment, application mistake, the rates of inclusion, subtraction and total accumulation. The data were collected using patients charts and bills. The results of the paper analysis were as follows. 1. From the pre-discharge hospital self inspection, major omission were treatment and material fee but medication fee were moderately high and high curtailment was operation fee. 2. Decreasing order of operation fee adjustment were digestive(22.4%) muscular(22%) and neuro system operation(21.4%). Majority of the medication fee adjustments were injection form of medication(95.7%). 50% of the treatment fee adjustments were composed of injection fee(27.9%) and dressing or post-operative dressing fee(22.3%). 74.7% of material costs were composed of oxygen(30.6%), blood and the blood composed materials(44.1%). 3. Pre-discharge inspection showed 6% adjustment rate, 4.3% addition and 2.1% curtailment rate. Most of the adjustment were omission(66.1%). 4. Omission were divided by event omission(92.6%)and application mistake(7.4%). The decreasing order of omission fee were operation(21.84%), treatment(18.71 %) diagnosis(18.68%), medication (14.53%) and material costs(10.84%). So operation and treatment part were the major part of the total omission fee(40.55%). 5. The average omission of diagnosis were 1,800 per month.

  • This study investigates general environmental factors influencing hypertension and diabetes patients and their disease control methods, self-efficacy, nutritional risk, diagnosis of eating styles according to nutritional risk, accountability in eating habit instructions, and nutritional intake and provides basic data for eating habit control in hypertension and diabetes patients. For this, 70 patients who visited a hypertension and diabetes admission center were interviewed using a questionnaire. According to the results, the implementation of self-efficacy in hypertension and diabetes was higher in female subjects. The diagnosis of eating type with nutritional risk was higher in female subjects, and there was a significant difference between male and female subjects (p<0.05). Both sexes had scores above 6 in nutritional risk and were diagnosed to have a "high-risk nutritional status." In the diagnosis of eating habits with nutritional risk, diet quality was higher for female patients (p<0.05), and the nutritional intake of subjects was low for most nutrients. In particular, the intake of calcium, vitamin A, riboflavin, and folic acid was low, indicating a need to improve eating habits for the balanced intake of nutrients because of the increasing importance of eating habits for controlling chronic diseases.
