Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring has been used mainly to detect reduced perfusion of the brain during orthostatic stress in order to assess orthostatic intolerance (OI). Many studies have investigated the use of NIRS to reveal the pathophysiology of patients with OI. Research using NIRS in other neurological diseases (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, and migraine) is continuing. NIRS may play an important role in monitoring the regional distribution of the hemodynamic flow in real time and thereby reveal the underlying pathophysiology and facilitate the management of not only patients with OI symptoms but also those with various neurological diseases.

Pain is the most common symptom that brings a patient to the hospital. Repetitious stress and sprain injury result in various pains, and so we tried to improve cervical movement and release from pain by using taping technique of actual agonists and postural muscles in addition to psychological relaxation. The 4 patient with neck problems were applied Arikawa taping approaches. The flexor or extensor patterns were determined by Arikawa method at first. if the symptoms and patterns were similar, the taping was attached same point. After taping on major muscles of causing neck pain levator scapula, scalenus medius, sternocleidomastoid, splenius capitis, semispinalis capitis. - we found neck pain released and cervical ROM increased. In conclusion, we determined cervical movement related to rotation of splenius capitis, extention of semispinalis capitis, levator scapula, flexion and rotation of scalenus medius.

Despite the advances in medical technology, there are limited therapeutic interventions for cancer. Currently, the main goal of treatment is to remove a tumor completely. However, recent studies have shown that mortality is highly influenced by symptoms such as depression and cachexia, not solely by cancer itself. Depression is caused by psychological stress, and cachexia involves extreme weight loss with skeletal muscle atrophy, which are widely observed in patients with cancer. Although those two appear completely different from each other, they have a common etiology: cytokines. The production of cytokines can lead to depression and cachexia, and it contributes greatly to the increase in mortality rate. A better understanding of depression and cachexia in patients with cancer will help establish efficient treatment strategies.

Urinary incontinence is the most common urinary symptom in children and causes considerable anxiety in children and parents. In most cases, there is no underlying organic pathology and the longterm prognosis is excellent. Despite these reassuring facts, children with wetting problems can be a challenge for primary pediatrician. This is probably because the problem is poorly understood, there is no readily identifiable medical pathology, and because treatment is usually time consuming and arduous. There is a great demand for treatment because wetting is an unpleasant symptom that can cause a stress and anxiety in the family. There may also be other coexisting problems such as urinary tract infection, constipation, soiling, and behavioral or emotional difficulties. Despite the frequency and vexing nature of voiding dysfunction, physicians may not always obtain a careful history to identify and to treat children properly with this condition. This article addresses the comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to such children.

The relationships between emotion, stress and gastro-intestinal dysfunction were briefly reviewed. Until now, several kinds of theories on about pathophysiology, such as motility dysfunction, changes of pain perception on the lumen, dysregulations on the central nervous system associated with psychosocial factors were reported. However, none of those factors could'nt give any clues for the causes of the functional bowel disorders. For understanding the meaning of the symptoms and for the treatment approach, clinicians should give attention to the comprehensive point of view, i.e., not only biological but also psychological aspects of the patients with non-organic bowel dysfunctions. Giving warm and kind explanations to the patient about symptom formation and progression and understanding the patient's illness behaviors, and good and strong doctor-patient relationship is essentials for the treatment.

In modern society, dementia patients are increasing due to busy daily life. Due to the nature of dementia, family members are having a hard time with their caring activities. Dementia diseases reduce the quality of life not only of the patient, but also of the family, and nursing activities lead to social problems such as unemployment or frequent turnover. This study aims to reduce the difficulty and stress of the nursing process by supporting daily life of dementia patients and nursing activities through smart care platform. Ultimately, we will reduce the cost of treatment for people with dementia and delay the worsening of symptoms through a systematic care program for people with dementia. The smart dementia care platform features smart technology to help the dementia patients' daily lives and support their caregivers.

A seven-month-old Hanwoo steer was presented immediately after transport with respiratory symptoms including a nasal discharge, depression, and anorexia. Though repeated treatments, bronchopneumonia had not been improved and had persisted for 10 months. Then, obstructive breath sound was heard. A cyst adjacent to the epiglottis could be observed with respiratory endoscopy. Consequently, chronic bronchopneumonia induced laryngeal cyst formation, resulting in obstructive dyspnea. And respiratory endoscopy may be useful for differentiating the causes of dyspnea in bovine clinical practice.

The cells that make up the body continuously undergo cell division to maintain life, but stress and carcinogens, and physiological stimuli suppress immunological functions in the body and change cells to cancerous cells. The only way to overcome cancer is by treatment through early detection and proper diagnosis. However, because early stage of cancer shows subjective symptoms that are similar to those of other common illnesses, even doctors have difficulty separating cancer from common illnesses in its early stage. However, the Ki(bioenergy) present in our body recognizes and changes to the most minute changes in the body. This method of detecting the change in bioenergy to discover a disease in the early stage to raise treatment success is called the OBET: O-Ring, Bioenergy Test. This method, which is based on the theories of oriental medicine, focuses on tumors, especially malignant tumors, and has shown value in diagnosis and treatment, as witnessed in the clinical applications. The diagnosis method and cases of OBET: O-Ring, Bioenergy Test are presented.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate causes, symptoms and treatments for the Chronic rhinorrhea of children with oriental medical literatures. Methods : We surveyed the oriental and western medical books from to recent published books that have articles on Chronic rhinorrhea. Results and Conclusions : The Chronic rhinorrhea are classified to Bigu and Biruan(鼻淵). Bigu is similar to Allergic Rhinitis and Biyan(鼻淵) is similar to Chronic Sinusitis. The external cause of disease is the invasion of Poong han(風寒) etc a wrong air and the internal causes of disease are the deficiency of the spleen, lung and kidney and inner heat caused by stress. Treatment in Oriental medicine consists of herbal-therapy, acupuncture and moxa. The methods of treatment are expelling of Poong han(風寒) in the early stage and helping the vital energy in the late stage.
