  • In this paper, we describe a new swing analysis system. We design this system to provide various information about golf swings and to help to correct wrong swings. We visualize three-dimensional skeletal information obtained from Kinect through various views. Golfers can see their swing behavior through these views. This system can calculate the similarity between the two trajectories obtained from Kinect to determine the similarity of swing trajectories of different golfers. Input trajectories are resampled to have equal spacing and are performed scaling and translation for accurate trajectory comparison. We have verified the usefulness of the proposed system through various analyzes.

  • We have experienced two cases of ascending aorta aneurysm with aortic regurgitation in Marfan`s syndrome. There were abnormal findings in cardiovascular system associated with abnormalities of skeletal systems. They had total replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve with Bjork-Shiley`s aortic valve composite graft and reimplantation of coronary ostia on the graft. Their postoperative courses were uneventful and discharged with good clinical results for follow up.

  • Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic pain in the skeletal system accompanied by stiffness, sleep disturbance, fatigue, and psychiatric problems, such as anxiety and depression. Fibromyalgia commonly affects orofacial health, presenting with a variety of oral manifestations, including temporomandibular disorder, xerostomia, glossodynia, and dysgeusia. Therefore, oral healthcare providers need to be aware of this clinical entity to effectively manage oral symptoms and provide proper oral self-care modification and education on the nature of fibromyalgia. This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, orofacial concerns, and treatment of fibromyalgia.

  • Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor that is more common in young people; it is an uncommon type of chondrosarcoma with a poor prognosis. In two-thirds of cases, it affects the bone, especially the spine. However, parts of the body other than the skeletal system are occasionally involved. These rarer types have a worse prognosis, with a high likelihood of metastasis and death. Due to the possible misdiagnosis of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, the integrated use of imaging, immunohistochemistry, and pathology can be helpful.

  • Disseminated mycobacterial infection after bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination is a very rare disorder, occurring mostly in patients with immunologic deficiency. We report a case of disseminated BCG infection in a 16-month-old girl with severe combined immunodeficiency. Plain radiographs showed multiple osteolytic lesions in the femora, tibiae, humerus, and phalanges. Abdominal sonography and CT scanning revealed multiple nodules in the spleen, and portocaval lymphadenopathy.

  • Software Architecture for any given software system is its skeletal framework. That is to say that if this framework does not properly support the system then it would cause more harm than good. Accordingly it is our opinion that choosing the right architecture to realize this framework is a crucial part in creating a successful system. This report discusses a comparative method which utilizes the steps in ATAM to realize architectural decisions and more importantly aide in architectural selection that promotes system success.

  • MET is one of the few physical therapy having its own criteria. Mr. Holten approached the Norwegian Health Authority in 1967 to get his MET System recognized as a treatment method of its own. He was granted his approval for his exercise system's specivic criteria connecteed with the treatment method. In MET, the patient exercises himself without manual participation by physiotherapists, however, under continuous supervision.. The apparatus should be designed that functional quality (arthrogenous, circulatory, respiratory, neuromuscular) in question is optimally influenced when the patient carries out exercise in a certain range against a graded resistance. The therapy reassesses the scheme of treatment at least every fifth session and the maximum number of patients being 5 person per hour. The important principles in medical exercise Therapy are stabilization of hyperfunction through the system of autostabilization and mobilization of hypofunction through automobilization. In MET excrcises are adjusted to the patient's reactions. MET equipment is therefore made to meet requirements for treating patients with painful pathological dysfunction in the musculo-skeletal system.

  • To evaluate the fields of human anatomy and physiology important in clinical practice of physical therapy, a questionnaire survey was performed for 70 physical therapists who were practicing in general hospitals, clinics, public health centers, and rehabilitation centers in several provinces including Seoul and Chungcheongdo. Fields of anatomy and physiology were divided into 13 chapters and subdivided into 52 items. And the preferred ranks were statistically analysed according to the career of physical therapists, nature of the institute and the post of duty. As results joint system, muscular system, skeletal system and nervous system were ranked in the fields of great importance. The relative importance of practical knowledge in anatomy and physiology should be considered in educating students as well as reeducation of practitioners.

  • The Cyr61/CTGF/NOV (CCN) family is dynamically expressed in various tissues, including the nervous system, from the prenatal period to adulthood. However, major studies have been conducted only in limited fields, such as the cardiovascular and muscular systems, skeletal development, and cancer. In addition, although the CCN family is a secretory protein, very few studies have described its mechanism of secretion. Recently, it has been suggested that overexpression of CCN3 or intracellular accumulation due to problems in the secretory pathway can inhibit neuronal axonal growth. In this review, we have briefly summarized the structure and characteristics of the CCN family and its related diseases, with particular emphasis on the secretory mechanism and modifiers of the CCN family, newly identified in the nervous system.
