Strabismus refers to a extra-ocular muscle imbalance that results in improper alignment of the visual axes of two eyes. It may be divided into paralytic and non-paralytic strabismus. Paralytic strabismus is primarily a neurological problem: non-paralytic strabismus is more strictly an ophthalmologic problem. This case report focuses on paralytic strabismus resulting from palsies of the third and the sixth cranial nerves, respectively. Oculomotor nerve palsies result in binocular diplopia with characteristic patterns of strabismus. Oculomotor nerve provides motor and parasympathetic innervation to the eyes. Acquired oculomotor nerve palsies are not uncommon. Injury to the third nerve may result in complete or partial dysfunction. Complete third nerve palsy is manifested by ptosis, dilated pupil, an eye that is deviated down and out in primary position, and limited adduction, elevation, and depression. Patients with unilateral sixth nerve palsy complain of binocular, horizontal diplopia esotropia in the primary position due to unopposed action of the medial rectus and limitation of abduction due to weakness of the lateral rectus. Diplopia is worse in the direction of the paretic lateral rectus muscle. Paralytic strabismus are treated, based on the theory of Oriental medicine. with berbal medicines having gun-bi(健脾), bae-to(培土), gue-pung(祛風) effect of acupuncture around the eyes and etc. We describe a 63-year-old woman with complete the 3rd cranial nerve palsy and a 32-year-old woman with the unilateral 6th cranial nerve palsy who treated with acupuncture and herbal medicines and showed complete recovery.

기능성 게임은 놀이와 학습의 결합 형태이며 미래 지향적 도구로, 기존의 게임이 가지고 있는 역기능을 최소화하고 순기능을 최대화할 수 있으며 게임 산업 및 게임 문화를 바꿀 수 있는 새로운 대안으로 자리매김하고 있다. 최근의 게임 및 교육시장은 사용자의 자율성과 동기를 강조하는 보다 진보된 형태의 학습 콘텐츠 개발로 이동하고 있다. 이와 맞물려 게임 시장 또한 게임 중독 및 학업 부진과 같은 사회 역기능적인 요소를 배제하며, 정신과 육체의 건강을 중시하고 과학적인 교육 효과를 추구하는 인간 친화적 형태의 엔터테인먼트 사업으로의 확장을 다각화하고 있다. 또한, 기능성 게임은 의료보조 및 의료학습, 군사 시뮬레이션, 건강. 보조도구, 특수교육 및 학습 도구같은 전문적인 영역에서 일상적인 교육 및 정신 건강 등으로 확대되고 있으며, 시장도 꾸준히 성장하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 이러한 시장 특수성에 부응하여 현재 기획 및 개발되고 있는 기능성 게임의 대부분은 그 기능에 대한 정확한 과학적 측정과 효과 검증이 이루어지지 못하고 있으며, 대부분 게임 개발자의 직관과 경험에 의존하여 개발되고 있다. 또한, 전반적으로 단순한 과제를 반복하거나 간단한 퍼즐 형태의 게임으로 실제적 재미 요소와 학습의 효과를 효과적으로 결합시키지 못하고 있으며, 인간기능의 측정보다는 막연한 기능 증진을 기대하는 비과학적인 방법의 게임이 대부분이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 시각 및 청각 자극 변화에 따른 기능성 게임의 몰입도 및 집중도 변화를 분석하여 기능성 게임의 효과적인 시청각 자극 제시 방안과 관련한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 본 논문에서는 2D 형태의 기능성 게임(가청 주파수 대역의 게임 음향), 3D 형태의 기능성 게임(가청 주파수 대역의 게임 음향), 3D 형태의 기능성 게임(가청 주파수 대역의 게임 음향 및 초음파 영역 게임 보조 음향)을 활용한 3단계의 시각 및 청각 자극 변화 실험 수행하며 사용자의 뇌파를 측정 및 분석한 결과를 제시한다.

Objectives : This is a pilot study for a large randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of a newly developed contrast therapy device-- alternating topical heat and cold -- for patients with chronic low back pain. The main objective of this study is to confirm the feasibility of the study design. Methods : The design was a randomized, 2-arm, parallel-group, single-blind, placebo controlled trial. Patients in each group received real or sham contrast therapy in an acupuncture point 10 times over four weeks. The primary outcome measure was pain intensity on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). The secondary outcomes were back-related dysfunction based on the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ), and range of motion of lumbar spine based on the modified Schober test (mSchober test), Finger-to-Floor distance (FTF distance), and Finger-to-Thigh distraction (FTT distraction). Results : A total of 30 subjects with chronic low back pain were randomly assigned to a contrast therapy group (n＝15) or a sham group (n＝15). A repeated-measures analysis of variance showed statistically significant group time interaction for VAS, RMDQ, mSchober test and FTF distance (p<0.05). The treatment group showed significant improvement in pain intensity and functional disability as compared to the sham group. Conclusion : Contrast therapy may be an effective and safe treatment for chronic low back pain.

Objectives: Executive dysfunction including working memory deficit has been suggested to be one of the major neuropsychological etiologies of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the augmentative effects of Cogmed working memory training on the symptoms and neurocognitive functions in medicated children and adolescents with ADHD. Methods: Twenty-five children with ADHD, aged 7 to 19 years, taking ADHD medication participated in this study. The participants were trained for 5 weeks with a commercially available and computerized working memory program ($Cogmed^{(R)}$) without any changes to their medication. The Korean version of the ADHD Rating Scale, Clinical Global Impression Scale, and Comprehensive Attention Test were administered before training and 4 weeks and 7 months after training, respectively. Results: After completing the training, the clinical symptoms and function, rated by the parents and clinician, were improved. In addition, the level of commission errors was significantly reduced in the selective attention (visual/auditory) task, sustained attention to response task, and flanker task. The untrained visuospatial short-term memory and working memory were also improved. These effects were still observed 7 months after the training. Conclusion: Cogmed working memory training can be a promising training option for the additional improvement of the symptoms and deficits in working memory and response inhibition in medicated children with ADHD.

Objective : To examine the synergistic effects of both computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation (CACR) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on cognitive function in patients with stroke. Methods : The current double-blind, sham-controlled study enrolled a total of 11 patients who were newly diagnosed with stroke. The patients of the tDCS group (n=6) completed sessions of the Korean computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation program five times a week for 30 minutes a session during a mean period of 18.5 days concomitantly with the anodal tDCS over the bilateral prefrontal cortex combined with the CACR. The patients of the control group (n=5) also completed sessions of the sham stimulation during a mean period of 17.8 days. Anodal tDCS over bilateral prefrontal cortex (F3 and F4 in 10-20 EEG system) was delivered for 30 minutes at an intensity of 2 mA. Cathode electrodes were applied to the non-dominant arm. All the patients were evaluated using the Seoul Computerized Neuropsychological Test (SCNT) and the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination. Results : Mann-Whitney U test revealed a significant difference between the two groups. The patients of the tDCS group achieved a significant improvement in the post/pre ratio of auditory continuous performance test and visual continuous performance test on the SCNT items. Conclusion : Our results indicate that the concomitant use of the tDCS with CACR to the prefrontal cortex may provide additional beneficial effects in improving the cognitive dysfunction for patients with stroke.
