  • 선천성 관상동맥 기형 중 관상동맥 이상기시는 매우 드물게 발생한다. 무증상인 경우도 있지만 실신, 부정맥, 호흡곤란이나 심인성 급사를 일으키기도 한다고 알려져 있다. 저자들은 반복적인 운동 시 실신과 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 12세 환아에서 좌관상동맥의 우관상동 기시를 진단하여 관상동맥 이동술(coronary artery transfer)을 시행하여 성공적으로 치험하였기에 관련 문헌과 함께 보고한다.

  • Brugada syndrome is characterized by an ECG pattern of right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads ($V_1-V_3$) without structural heart disease. It is also characterized by sudden cardiac death that's caused by ventricular fibrillation. This is a familial syndrome with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and it may be considerably more common in Southeast Asia. Many factors during anesthesia can precipitate malignant dysrrhythmia in these patients, so careful choice of anesthetics is required. We experienced a case of Brugada syndrome in a 59-year-old male patient who was under general anesthesia for trans-sphenoidal surgery to treat a pituitary adenoma, and the patient was diagnosed as having Brugada syndrome without any untoward cardiovascular events.

  • Streptococcus(S.) suis is a pathogen, causing meningitis, septicemia and sudden death in weaning piglets as well as fattening pigs. Using multiplex PCR method based S. suis capsular genes, 61 S. suis isolates was classified as serotypes 2, 7, 9 and untypable. Genotyping of S. suis isolates was analysed by PFGE pattern with treated Sma I restricted enzyme. Of the 61 S. suis, 25 (40.9%) were serotype 2, 6 (9.8%) were serotype 7, 5 (8.2%) were serotype 9, and 25 (40.9%) were untypable, respectively. Twenty four PFGE patterns were detected in this study and also PFGE patterns were classified according to serotype; serotype 2 was classified as 6 genotypes, serotype 7 was 5 genotypes, serotype 9 was 3 genotypes, and untypable was 11 genotypes, respectively.

  • This study describes a sudden death in an ostrich (Struthio camelus) with a big neck. Grossly, the air sacs were thickened. Yellow to white, round or coalescent material was scattered on the air sacs. However, the cervical air sac was normal. Histopathologically, multinucleated giant cells, heterophils, and macrophages had infiltrated the air sacs, and many hyphae were seen in the air sacs and on their surfaces. Pyogranulomatous inflammation with intralesional hyphae was observed throughout the lungs. Aspergillus fumigatus was identified microbiologically. In conclusion, the affected animal died because of the respiratory disturbance caused by mycotic airsacculitis and pneumonia.

  • Stellate ganglion block is most commonly used in pain clinic because it is an easy procedure and it has broad indications reported that Angina pectoris, tachyarrhythmia and long QT syndrome (LQTS) are indicated. LQTS is a disorder of the abnormalities of cardiac sympathetic innervation and of myocardial repolarization. LQTS is characterized by marked prolongation of the QT interval, often manifestating as syncope, seizures, or sudden death due to polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia known as torsades de pointes. Treatment of symptomatic patients usually begin with beta blocker. The elective treatment of LQTS patients unresponsive to beta blocker is the left cardiac sympathetic denervation. We report a case of LQTS patient who had received stellate ganglion block.

  • The purpose of this study was to development CPR training course to promote wide spread training. The course objectives was based on international Guidelines 2000. The course presents information about the AHA adult Chain of survival and signs of heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, and chocking in adult, and includes information about healty heart living and actions to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The course also presents information about the AHA infant and chila Chain of survival, signs of breathing emergencies and chocking in infants and children, prevention of sudden infant death syndrome, and prevention of the most common fatal injuies in infants and children. Vedio-mediated instruction is the primary approach to teaching psycomotor skills.

  • This study elvaluated clinically the surgical results of the thirty-eight patients who had exploratory thoracotomy for spontaneous pneumothorax between Jan. 1989 and Nov. 1992. Thirty three, or 86.8%, of the patients were male. The most frequent age of the spontaneous pneumothorax requiring thoracotomy was between fifteen years and twenty years. Sudden onset dyspnea and chest pain, which developed in thirty-five patients[89.5%], were the major chief complaints. Bleb and Bulla located in the both upper lobes were the most frequent causes of spontaneous pneumothorax for exploratory thoracotomy. There was no operative death. Postoperative morbidity included three cases of residual air space in the apical pleural space, tow cases of atrial fibrillation, and one each case of reoperation for bleeding, mediasitinitis, and sternal osteomyelitis. All postoperative complications were treated without any serious problems. This study suggests that early exploratory thoracotmy is desirable for patients with prolonged air-leak, massive air-leak, or multiple blebs and giant bullae on the computed tomography of the chest.
