Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the longitudinal relationship between child maltreatment and adolescent suicidal ideation. Several studies suggest that child maltreatment is associated with adolescent suicidal ideation. However, these studies have not focused on the duration of child maltreatment. Methods: Participants were 420 adolescents (52.6% male; 47.4% female) involved in the Korea Welfare Panel Study. Data were collected via youth self-report in 2006, 2009, and 2012. A self-report assessment of children and youths' experiences of physical, emotional, or neglect had been surveyed longitudinally. Questionnaires on adolescent suicidal ideation were answered in 2012. A growth mixture model and multiple regression were conducted using Mplus 5.21. Results: The study results showed that 93.5% of the children had experienced no maltreatment; 6.5% had experienced increasing maltreatment longitudinally. The trajectory of increasing maltreatment was positively associated with adolescent suicidal ideation. Conclusion: These results show that children suffering from chronic maltreatment are subject to a high risk of suicide and therefore require continuous supervision and management.

Objectives: To report the effect of Korean medicine on a patient with insomnia from severe hot flashes. Methods: The patient suffered from extreme hot flashes for months. Symptoms were so severe that the patient attempted suicide. After starting psychiatric medication, symptoms persisted and hospitalization began. During hospitalization, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and psychotherapy were conducted. For evaluating therapeutical effect, Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging was performed twice during the treatment process. It was divided into major facial area and back area. The facial area was divided into two small units to measure the difference in temperature between two points. The back area was measured in the same way. Results: The temperature difference between the two points decreased over time and the patient's subjective symptoms reduced. Conclusions: Korean medicine therapy can improve symptoms of patients with insomnia accompanied by hot flashes.

Purpose: This study was done to examine whether risk of suicidal ideation in nursing students as related to social support and ego-resilience, and whether subjective wellbeing mediated the relationships. Methods: Structural equation modeling was applied to test the model in which ego-resilience and social support from family, friends, and others were considered as exogenous variables and subjective wellbeing as a mediating variable. The participants were 285 nursing students who completed self-report measures including the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Ego-Resiliency Scale, and the Index of Wellbeing. Results: Results show that higher scores on family support and ego-resilience were positively associated with subjective wellbeing and negatively with suicidal ideation. Subjective wellbeing mediated the relationships between family support and suicidal ideation, and also ego-resilience and suicidal ideation. Among the three social supports, only family social support had both direct and indirect effects on suicidal ideation. Conclusion: Findings suggest that family support is a useful resource in the prevention of suicidal ideation in nursing students and building supportive relationship with family should be considered as the first step in suicide prevention strategies. Also enhancing ego-resilience could play an important role to reduce suicide risk through promoting well-being.

Phenypropanolamine (PPA) is a sympathetic amine used in over-the-counter cold remedies and weight-control preparations. The side effects are hypertension, dysrhythmias, stroke, etc. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is taking steps to remove PPA from all drug products and has requested that all drug companies discontinue marketing products containg PPA due to high risk of hemorrhage stroke. But, in Korea now, patinets take products containg PPA with over the counter. We report here the case of PPA induced myocardial injury in a young woman who takes overdose for suicide.

Acute cyanide poisoning is usually the result of attempted suicide which is often lethal within minutes or leads to a very poor prognosis after delayed and inadequate treatment. It affects the cerebral structures with the highest oxygen requirement, such as the basal ganglia, the cerebral cortex. We experienced a-45-year-old man who ingested Potassium Cyanide. He was stuporous. In 25 minutes, respiratory arrest developed and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was done. After return of spontaneous circulation, he admitted to intensive care unit, and conservative treatment was started. The clinical status was improved by degrees, but he couldn't perform daily activity like before. Minimal limitation of movement and memory deficit were left. In magnetic resonance imaging, which taken at the 11th day after admission, there were both basal ganglia and folia of cerebellum abnormality.

서울시자살예방센터(자살유족지원팀)와 자살유족 기록작업을 같이 했다. 자살유족지원팀은 자살유족의 심리지원을 위한 자조모임을 운영하고 있었다. 자조모임은 자살유족들이 모여 앉아 대화를 나누며 고통을 나누는 자리이다. 자조모임이 어느 정도 진행되자 모임에서 리더역할을 수행하는 성원들이 생겼다. 이들이 모여서 글을 쓰는 에세이 모임을 구성했다. 아들을 먼저 보낸 아버지(2명), 딸을 먼저 보낸 엄마(2명), 아들을 먼저 보낸 엄마(1명), 남편을 먼저 보낸 아내(1명). 이렇게 6명의 사람들이었다. 에세이 모임은 사직공원 앞에 자리를 잡은 한 공간에서 매주 만났다. 한쪽 벽면 전체를 차지하는 창문으로는 저녁이 들어오고 있었다. 낮에 있었던 일들은 지는 해를 따라 갔다. 10명(에세이 모임 6명, 자살유족지원팀 3명, 임상역사가 1명)이 탁자를 가운데 두고는 빙 둘러 앉았다. "자, 이제 무엇을 해야 할까?" 자살유족 기록작업은 2013~2014년에 있었다. 교육적으로 중요하고 특수한 환자의 임상사례를 학회, 잡지에 보고하는 것을 의학에서는 증례(證例. case report)라고 한다. 자살유족들과 같이 했던 기록작업을 증례로 소개하는 형식을 취해 정리했다. 증례 형식을 취한 것은 기록을 말하기 위해서는 인간을 말해야 하고, 인간을 말하기 위해서는 기록에 대해 말해야 하는 '인간과 기록의 상관성'이 중요하다고 보기 때문이다. 자살유족 기록작업에 대한 글이 이런 상관성에 대한 논의를 하는 데에 단초가 될 수 있다고 본다. 몇 년의 시간이 지났다. 당시 상황을 기록하는 데 필요한 객관적 거리가 확보되었을까? 그건 자신할 수 없지만, 작업의 과정과 방법을 서술하면서 '일상의 기록생산'에 대해 말해본다. 나아가 기록과 기록의 의미(인간)에 관한 몇 가지 단상을 말해본다. 1장에서는 기록의 출처를 다루었다. 그것은 기록하는 사람은 누구인가, 또는 누가 기록하는가 하는 것이다. 기록이 무엇인가 보다는 기록하는 사람은 누구인가 하는 물음이 앞서야 할 것 같다. 2장은 기록하는 형식에 관한 논의로 무엇을 위해 기록하는가, 무엇을 기록화 대상으로 삼는가, 어떤 기록형식이 필요한가 하는 것을 다뤘다. 3장과 4장은 일종의 기록방법론일 수 있는데, 3장에서는 쓰기, 4장에서는 대화를 다뤘다. 5장에서는 기록을 수용하는 의례를 다뤘다. 3개월이든 1년이든 자신이 기록했던 시간을 어떻게 수용하며 그 의미는 무엇일까 하는 것이다. 6장에서는 논의의 지평을 넓혀 일상의 기록생산, 일상적 아카이브를 다뤘다.

This report presents examples of the use of Korean medicine to treat diarrhea after colon hemicolectomy. The patient was a male in his 80s who had undergone hemicolectomy 3 years previously for colon cancer. He complained of diarrhea and fecal incontinence and had attempted suicide. He was admitted to the internal medicine ward through the emergency room. Treatment did not improve his diarrhea, even with the use of antidiarrheal drugs, so he was transferred to the Korean Medicine Hospital, where he received daily acupuncture and medicine treatment. After Korean medicine treatment, his symptoms improved rapidly and his fecal incontinence stopped after one week of hospitalization. Two weeks after hospitalization, his stool had improved to normal stool, his hypotonia had also improved, and he was discharged. This report shows that Korean medicine treatment can be effective in treating patients with diarrhea. In the future, related cases will need to be accumulated.

Purpose: Median nerve entrapment syndrome within carpal tunnel is usually called carpal tunnel syndrome and it is the most common form of peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome. Many factors such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hormonal replacement theraphy, corticosteroid use, rhematoid arthritis and wrist fractures may cause carpal tunnel syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of median nerve entrapment syndrome due to adhesion of laceration wound after suicidal attempt. Methods: A 28-year-old woman presented with a sensory change and thenar hypotrophy on her left hand. On her history, she attempted suicide by slashing her wrist. Initial electromyography (EMG) showed that the nerve conduction velocities of median nerve was delayed. Therefore, we performed surgical procedures. When exploration, Fibrous scar tissue observed around the median nerve but nerve had not been injured. Transcarpal ligament was completely released and adjacent fibrous tissue was removed to decompress the median nerve. Results: The postoperative course was uneventful until the first year. Opposition difficulty and thenar hypotrophy were improved progressively after the surgery. Sensory abnormality was slowly improved over one year. Conclusion: We report a case of median nerve entrapment syndrome that was caused by adhesion of laceration wound after suicidal attempt. This is an unusual cause of median nerve entrapment syndrome, the symptoms were relieved after transcarpal ligament release and fibrous scar tissue removal.
