  • In 1984, a magnetic resonance spectrometer(magnetic resonance analyser, MRA $I_{TM}$) was developed by Sigrid Lipsett and Ronald J. Weinstock in the USA, Biomedical applications of the spectrometer have been examined by Dr. Hoang Van Duc(pathologist, USC), and Nakamura, et al(Japan). From their theoretical views, the biophysical functions of this machine are to analyse and synthesize a healthy tissue and organ resonance pattern, and to detect and correct an abnormal tissue and organ resonance pattern. All of the above functions are based on Quantum physics. The healthy tissue and organ resonance patterns are predetermined as standard magnetic resonance patterns by digitizing values based on peak resonance emissions(response levels or high pitched echo-sounds amplified via human body). In clinical practice, a counter or neutralizing resonance pattern calculated by the spectrometer can correct a phase-shifted resonance pattern(response levels or low pitched echo-sounds) of a diseased tissue and organ. By administering the counter resonance pattern into the site of pain and trigger point, it is possible to readjust the phase-shifted resonance pattern and then to alleviate pain through regulation of the neurotransmitter function of the nervous system. For assessing clinical effectiveness of pain relief with MRA $I_{TM}$ this study was designed to estimate pain intensity by the patient's subjective verbal rating scale(VRS such as graded to no pain, mild, moderate and severe) before application of it, to evaluate an amount of pain relief as applied the spectrometer by the patients subjective pain relief scale(visual analogue scale, VAS, 0~100%), and then to observe a continuation of pain relief following its application for managing acute and chronic pain in the 102 patients during an 8 months period beginning March, 1993. An application time of the spectrometer ranged from 15 to 30 minutes daily in each patient at or near the site of pain and trigger point when the patient wanted to be treated. The subjects consisted of 54 males and 48 females, with the age distribution between 23~40 years in 29 cases, 41~60 years in 48 cases and 61~76 years in 25 cases respectively(Table 1). The kinds of diagnosis and the main site of pain, the duration of pain before the application, and the frequency of it's application were recorded on the Table 2, 3 and 4. A distinction between acute and chronic pain was defined according to both of the pain intervals lasting within and over 3 months. The results of application of the spectrometer were noted as follows; In 51 cases of acute pain before the application, the pain intensities were rated mild in 10 cases, moderate in 15 cases and severe in 26 cases. The amounts of pain relief were noted as between 30~50% in 9 cases, 51~70% in 13 cases and 71~95% in 29 cases. The continuation of pain relief appeared between 6~24 hours in two cases, 2~5 days in 10 cases, 6~14 days in 4 cases, 15 days in one case, and completely relived of pain in 34 cases(Table 5~7). In 51 cases of chronic pain before the application, the pain intensities were rated mild in 12 cases, moderate in l8 cases and severe in 21 cases. The amounts of pain relief were noted as between 0~50% in 10 cases, 51~70% in 27 cases and 71~90% in 14 cases. The continuation of pain relief appeared to have no effect in two cases. The level of effective duration was between 6~12 hours in two cases, 2~5 days in 11 cases, 6~14 days in 14 cases, 15~60 days in 9 cases and in 13 cases the patient was completely relieved of pain(Table 5~7). There were no complications in the patients except a mild reddening and tingling sensation of skin while applying the spectrometer. Total amounts of pain relief in all of the subjects were accounted as poor and fair in 19(18.6%) cases, good in 40(39.2%) cases and excellent in 43(42.2%) cases. The clinical effectiveness of MRA $I_{TM}$ showed variable distributions from no improvements to complete relief of pain by the patient's assessment. In conclusion, we suggest that MRA $I_{TM}$ may be successful in immediate and continued pain relief but still requires several treatments for continued relief and may be gradually effective in pain relief while being applied repeatedly.

  • 신지명사십리 해수욕장에서 해빈침식의 원인을 파악하기 위해, 2019년 3월부터 2020년 3월까지 조석, 조류 및 파랑과 같은 외력과 표층퇴적물에 대한 현장조사가 계절별로 수행되었다. 그리고 이들 외력에 반응하는 해빈의 변화양상을 파악하기 위해, 정기적으로 해안선 및 해빈표고가 측량되었고, 과거에 간헐적으로 수행되었던 측량자료도 분석에 활용되었다. 대상해역에서 조류는 해빈변화에 영향을 줄 만큼 충분하지 않았으나, 남측으로 열려있는 이 해역에서 유의파고 1m 이상의 입사파들은 모두 S ~ SE 파향으로 춘하추계에 출현하였으며, 유의파고 2m 이상의 고파랑은 하추계에 태풍의 영향으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 태풍의 영향이 2년 동안 없었던 2018년 7월의 해빈면적은 2019년 3월에 비해 30,138m2 증가해 있었고, 이후 2차례의 태풍의 영향을 겪었던 2020년 3월은 해빈면적이 61,210m2가 줄어든 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 2018년 7월 이후 2차례의 태풍 내습이 있었던 2019년 3월은 5.4%의 해빈체적이 감소한 상태였고, 이후 2019년 9월까지 다시 2차례의 태풍내습에 의해 해빈체적이 7.3% 감소하였으며, 2020년 3월은 해빈체적이 4.4% 감소로서 추동계동안 다소 회복되는 경향을 보였다. GSTA에 의한 퇴적물 이동벡터는 해빈중앙의 소하천으로 부터 토사가 약하게 유입되며, 서측해빈에서 이동경향은 두드러지게 나타나지 않으나, 동측해빈에서 육상역의 토사가 바다쪽으로 그리고 동측에서 서측으로 퇴적물이 이동하는 경향이 아주 우세하게 나타났다. 이러한 퇴적물 이동경향벡터는 해빈에 대해 반시계방향으로 24° 기울어져 있어 연평균파향의 파랑이 입사할 때 서향의 해빈류가 발달하는 것으로 설명할 수 있었다. 이에 따라 서측해빈역은 모래가 풍성하지만, 동측해빈역은 표사공급원의 부재로 자갈이 드러나고 곳곳에 사구포락이 발생하는 것과 같은 침식이 심각하였다. 따라서, 이같은 토사이동구조를 가진 동측해빈역에 양빈과 같은 새로운 표사원을 조성하고, 동측해안 끝단역에서 입사파를 저감시키는 것과 같은 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.
