  • 목적: 소아에서 요로감염은 높은 질병부담을 갖는다. 본 연구의 목적은 합병증이 없고 균혈증이 없는 소아 요로감염에서 단기 항생제 요법이 기존의 표준치료 방법과 비교해 비열등한지 평가하고자 한다. 방법: PubMed, Embase 및 Cochrane 데이터베이스에서 2021년 4월까지 출간된 연구에 대한 신속 체계적 문헌고찰(Rapid Systematic Review)을 시행했다. 비교군으로는 소아 요로감염 환자를 대상으로 단기 항생제 치료(≤4일)를 한 군과 표준 항생제 치료(≥5-7일)를 한 군 간의 임상결과를 비교한 연구를 선정하였다. 결과: 신속 체계적 문헌고찰 결과, 단기 치료 방법은 표준 치료 방법에 비해 비열등한 치료 효과를 가지며, 임상 완치율 및 재발률이 유사한 것으로 측정되었다. 단기 치료와 표준 치료 방법의 임상적 치료율을 비교한 10개의 연구 모두 유사한 결과를 보고하였다. 신장 합병증을 평가를 한 연구는 단기 치료 방법이 표준 치료 방법과 비교해 비열등하지 않음을 보여주었다. 요로감염 재발에 대해서는 10개 중 8개의 연구에서 단기 치료와 표준 치료 방법 간 결과에 유의미한 차이가 없다고 보고하였다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 결과는 균혈증이 없는 소아 요로감염 환자에서 단기 치료 방법이 표준 치료 방법에 준하는 효과성을 나타났었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 일부 선택된 환자에 대한 치료 의사결정 시 참고할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a short-term ICT training course that helps teachers from non-computing disciplines in developing countries acquire flipped-learning content creation skills. A field application is performed by applying the developed ICT training course to secondary school teachers of non-ICT subject specialisms in Laos. In the field study, participating teachers' teaching efficacy on ICT and satisfaction toward the training course are measured. The result of t-test on ICT teaching efficacy showed statistically significant increases in teachers' self-efficacy related to ICT use, both personal efficacy and outcome expectancy. The satisfaction survey performed after training showed that trainees were highly satisfied with the training course. The results of this field study could be used to propose a short-term teacher education model that could be applicable to teachers in other developing countries.

  • The aim of this study was to develop and analyze a short course educating App Inventor and Arduino that showed the importance of software for youth. The course consists of a total of 10 missions for a 4 hour course divided into 2 parts, each 2 hours respectively. We conducted a basic course of Arduino for hardware and software, Processing for server programming, and App Inventor for programming for smartphones. The final mission was to send a signal to a server with a smartphone and to control light connected to a relay which passes Arduino connected with a server and serial communication. Participants completed 95% of missions, and we found the course had an educational effect for improving creativity and realization of software importance.

  • 마라톤과 같은 도로 경기 코스는 그 선형이 수직·수평방향으로 항상 변화한다. 따라서 코스측정에는 검정된 사이클에 의한 방법이 매우 효과적이며 측정치에는 적절한 통계처리가 수반되어야 한다. 이 논문은 서울 올림픽 마라톤 코스의 설정을 위하여 1986년 5월 18일에 사이클로 측정한 구간의 거리가 제시된 거리보다 짧아지지 않도록 하기 위하여 안전계수의 개념을 도입하고 이의 선택을 위한 통계학적 도리방법을 제시하였다. 거리산정의 결과는 같은 정확도로 재측하더라도 최소측정치보다 짧아지지 않을 신뢰도가 99.95%임을 보여주고 있다.

  • We present a case of unresectable cancer of the base of tongue treated with hypofractionated 3D conformal radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy. Based on the excellent tumour response in this radiotherapy regimen and international experience in short course treatments we shortly reviewed, we propose that this therapeutic approach could be considered in a curative setting for patients unsuitable for the a standard long course radiochemotherapy schedule.

  • Purpose: Colorectal cancer is becoming an increasing concern in the middle-aged population of Iran. This study aimed to compare the preliminary results of short-course and long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy treatment for rectal cancer patients. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial we recruited patients with rectal adenocarcinoma located from 5 cm to 15 cm above the anal verge. Patients in group I (short-course) received three-dimensional conformational radiotherapy with a dose of 25 Gy/5 fractions in 1 week plus concurrent XELOX regimen (capecitabine 625 mg/㎡ from day 1-5 twice daily and oxaliplatin 50 mg/㎡ on day 1 once daily). Patients in group II (long-course) received a total dose of 50-50.4 Gy/25-28 fractions for 5 to 5.5 weeks plus capecitabine 825 mg/㎡ twice daily. Both groups underwent consolidation chemotherapy followed by delayed surgery at least 8 weeks after radiotherapy completion. The pathological response was assessed with tumor regression grade. Results: In this preliminary report on complications and pathological response, 66 patients were randomized into two study groups. Mean duration of radiotherapy in the group II (long-course) was 5 ± 1 days (range, 5 to 8 days) and 38 ± 6 days (range, 30 to 58 days). The median follow-up was 18 months. Pathological complete response was achieved in 32.3% and 23.1% of patients in the shortcourse and long-course groups, respectively (p = 0.558). Overall, acute grade 3 or higher treatment-related toxicities occurred in 24.2% and 22.2% of patients in group I and II, respectively (p = 0.551). No acute grade 4 or 5 adverse events were observed in either group except one grade 4 hematologic toxicity that was seen in group II. Within one month of surgery, no significant difference was seen regarding grade ≥3 postoperative complications (p = 0.333). Conclusion: For patients with rectal cancer located at least 5 cm above the anal verge, short-course radiotherapy with concurrent and consolidation chemotherapy and delayed surgery is not different in terms of acute toxicity, postoperative morbidity, complete resection, and pathological response compared to long-course chemoradiotherapy.

  • Objective : This single-subject study explored the effect of short-term intensive sensory integration therapy program which was provided in a 2006 sensory integration treatment course on adaptive response of a four-year-girl with sensory modulation disorder(mixed pattern). Method : Based on results of the assessment to the child, her therapist offers an organized sensory integration program during four days. Results : Improvement of child's movement quality and variety in physical environment in therapy rooms and interaction with her therapist were observed. Conclusions : This report of the case will be helpful for occupational therapists who plan to intervent with a short-term intensive sensory integration therapy program. In addition, the need for consideration of consultation with the child's parents is discussed.

  • Background: The purpose of the study, using the ICF Tool in the process of rehabilitation of artificial joint replacement surgery of the hip joint, goal setting and understanding of the problem, through the process of creating intervention strategies, useful clinical practical course for rehabilitation I try to present the data. Methods: Fracture was the left total hip replacement (THR) surgery due to women of 76 years old. I proceed in order screening, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment planning and intervention, re-screening. Needs of the patient was walking short distances for using the toilet. In order to improve was carried out arbitration, after you have created a list of issues that limit the ability to walk short distances. Results: It was revealed improved results in self-paced walk test (SPWT) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was used to examine whether the goals. In addition, MMT VAS, DGI, and TUG is a detailed goal was improved. Conclusions: It can be shown objectively the results of interventions performed for the purpose of solving the problem which is grasped through clinical Practical course for short-range walking ability enhance patient THR. I considered practical clinical course using the ICF Tool would be useful.
