The proper management of the pediatric facial bone fracture is critical in the facial bone development. This study characterizes the surgically treated patient population suffering from facial bone fractures by the use of current data from a large series consisting of 201 cases. The data was gathered through a retrospective chart review of patients surgically treated for facial bone fractures at the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery, Sanggye Paik hospital, Inje university medical center, collected over 10-years period from January, 1993 to December, 2002. Data regarding patient demographics(age, sex), seasonal distribution, location of fractures, and the causes of injury with admission periods, were collected. In total, there were 201cases of pediatric facial bone fractures. Male patients outnumbered female patients by a 5.48: 1 ratio and were found to engage in a wider range of behaviors that resulted in facial bone fractures. Physical violence was the leading cause of pediatric facial bone fractures(27.9%), followed by sports-related mechanisms (22.9%) and falling down(17.9%). The most prevalent age group was 11-15 years-old(71.1%) and there was a 14.3% prevalence in March. Among the location of fractures, the nasal bone was the most prevalent, accounting for 82.3% of injuries, followed by the orbit(9.95%), and the mandible fractures(7.5%). Most patients(59.7%) were treated within 6-9 days after trauma and the mean hospitalization period was 8-11 days. We should follow up the surgically treated patients, and they will be further evaluated about postoperative sequele and effect on the facial bone development. These studies demonstrate differences in the demographics and clinical presentation that, if applied to patients, will enable a more accurate diagnosis and proper management.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the demographic characteristics of patients with knee pain caused by traffic accidents and test the effectiveness of Korean medicine (KM) treatment. Methods: The medical charts of 114 inpatients with knee pain caused by a traffic accident were reviewed from July 1, 2019 to October 31, 2019 at Bucheon Jaseng Hospital of KM. The patients' demographics including gender, age, period of hospitalization, and type of pharmacopuncture and herbal medicine prescribed were reviewed. The Numeric Rating Scale scores and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores were used to assess subjective knee pain. Results: There were more females (55%) than males in this study. Patients were more likely to be in their 30s (27.2%), be hospitalized for 11-14 days (41.2%), treated with Hwangryunhaedok pharmacopuncture (78.1%), and be prescribed Hwalhyeoljitong decoction (62.3%).The mean Numeric Rating Scale score for patients with knee pain caused by a traffic accident decreased significantly from 4.26 ± 1.39 to 2.53 ± 1.60 (p < 0.001), and the mean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score also decreased significantly from 32.72 ± 18.36 to 23.40 ± 15.80 (p < 0.001) following KM treatment. Conclusion: As a result of analyzing 114 hospitalized patients with knee joint pain due to TAs, inpatients were more likely to be female (55%), a patient in their 30s (27.2%), and be a patient hospitalized for 11-14 days (41.2%). KM treatment of traumatic knee injury using pharmacopuncture therapy and herbal medicine can be an may be effective at reducing pain, and healing functional disorders of the knee.
Licorice is a very useful herbal medicine frequently prescribed, but glycyrrhizin, one of its components, can cause pseudoaldosteronism presenting hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis and hypertension as a result of prolonging a biological half-life of systemic steroid by strongly inhibiting the enzyme $11{\beta}$-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2. The risk factors for this side effect are still unclear. Here, 479 hospitalized patients taking herbal medicines including licorice for more than five days were recruited to analyze their serum potassium levels, under following parameters ; age and gender of patient, dose and period of licorice, disease state such as hypertension and with or without diuretics. They were divided into the non-occurrence group (over 3.5 mEq/L) and the occurrence group (under 3.5 mEq/L) of hypokalemia based on serum potassium levels during hospitalization. The average ages of the non-occurrence group and the occurrence group were $52.6{\pm}17.8$ and $68{\pm}10.5$, respectively (p < 0.001). But there were no noticeable differences in the daily dose of licorice, days of taking, and total dose between groups. Regression analysis showed that odd ratio of age (>60) and taking diuretics inducing hypokalemia was 3.5 (95%CI 1.5-8.1), 4.6 (95%CI 2.0-10.9) that indicates significant correlation with hypokalemia. Based upon this analysis, it is imperative to monitor regularly the risk of pseudoaldosteronism or hypokalemia not only when administered licorice of high dose for long period but also when combined it with diuretics causing hypokalemia to the elderly patients over 60 year old.
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative Korean rehabilitation treatment for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Methods The medical records of patients undergoing Korean medical rehabilitation after a musculoskeletal surgery, from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019, were analyzed retrospectively. The effect of treatment was evaluated by using a numeric rating scale (NRS) and questionnaire for each surgical site. When the same patient was re-admitted after discharge, it was treated as the same case if it was within 7 days from the discharge date; otherwise, it was treated separately. If the period of hospitalization was within 7 days or the chief complaint was not related to musculoskeletal surgeries, the case was excluded. Results In total, 480 cases were included in this study. Acupuncture (99.8%), moxibustion (95.6%), cupping (97.5%), Chuna manual therapy (81.5%), Korean medical physiotherapy (61.0%), Daoyin exercise therapy (26.3%), and herbal medicine (87.7%) were used as the Korean medical rehabilitation treatments. A significant improvement was noted when comparing the NRS and questionnaire results for each surgical site at the time of admission and discharge. Conclusions Korean medical rehabilitation can be effectively used for patients who have undergone musculoskeletal surgeries, to relieve pain and enable returning to daily activities. However, further research with a high level of evidence is necessary to support this finding.
Clinical Observation was made on 120 Cases of CVA that were confirmed through brain CT of Oriental Medical hospital of Se-Myung University from July in 1997 to June in 1998. 1. The CVA cases were classified into the following kinds : cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH), and the greatest in number among them were the cases of cerebral infarction. 2. The most cases were 50 of age in all cases, in cerebral infarction were over 70 of age. There is no significant difference in the frequency of strokes between the male and female. the ratio was 1.07 : 1. 3. The frequency of strokes seems to have no relation to month and season. 4. The course of entering hospital, most patients visited this hospital directly(not through any other hospital) within 24hours. 5. The first attack was noted in 80.8%, the recurrance attack in 19.2% and the cerebral infarction had high recurrance ratio compared with cerebral hemorrhage. 6. The average duration of hospitalization was 25.2 days. 7. The most ordinary preceding disease was hypertension. 8. The common symptoms were motor disturbance and dysphasia. 9. The most frequent location of the lesion in cerebral infarction was parietal lobe, in cerebral hemorrhage was basal ganglia. 10. According to electrocardiography findings, abnormality was noted in cerebral infarction more than cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage. 11. The hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia were found more frequently in cerebral infarction than cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage. 12. The average time to start physical theraphy was 7.76 days after admission. 13. The most common complications were pneumonia and bed sore.
Low back pain(LBP) is known as one of the diseases that produce severe pains with 80% of the whole population having experienced it and reported that, even at this moment, 20-30% of the world population is suffering from it. The writer has performed 'Conservative remedies (non-surgical procedures taken)' from $1^{st}$ of January 2003 to $31^{st}$ of December the same year for 76 cases who have been hospitalized in Jaseng Hospital and adopted as having been diagnosed either HIVD L4-5 or HIVD L5-S 1 or as having both. The clinical analysis was made through statistical researches which include : the changing degree in SLR test of the Cheongpa-Jeon(CP) taking patient group and the non-taking group, the change of VAS (Visual analogue scale) against pains, and the days of hospital treatment. The result demonstrated that the CP taking group showed higher changes in SLR test, bigger reduction In VAS changes and the days for hospitalization shorter than the group that didn't take CP.

This study was to identify the utilization of home care service and home care nursing satisfaction for clients with cancer who had completed secondary and tertiary chemotherapy session. Raw data was collected by reviewing charts and questionnaire of 23 clients with cancer between September, 2002 and November 2002 at an university hospital located in Seoul. Korea. The result are as follows: 1. Characteristics in the use of home care: After applying for home care service, patients were visiting an average of 1.88 days later. The major purpose of using home care service was to help recovery after hospitalization or to maintain present health. The average period for home care service was 14.6 days, with 4 visits over this period, for 35.78 minutes per visit. 2. Content of home care service: A total of 47 items of service were provided - basic nursing care, education and counseling, and therapeutic nursing care. On every visit, an average of 19 items of home care service were provided, and the majority (7 items) were therapeutic nursing care. 3. Satisfaction with home care services: Satisfaction was very high, an average of 3.88 on a scale of 4 points. Both patients and families expressed high satisfaction with all sub-domains of nursing care: guidance by the home care nurses, knowledge, skill, attitude, interpersonal relationships, emotional support, and accessibility. In conclusion, home care served basic nursing care, teaching and counseling, and therapeutic nursing to clients with cancer going through secondary or tertiary chemotherapy. Therefore they changed knowledge and attitude to disease and treatment which were difficult to change.
Objective: The purpose of this clinical study is to report the case of a 79-year-old man with weakness of the right lower limb due to postzoster femoral nerve palsy. Methods: A patient was treated with Korean medicine, including herbal medication, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and bee-venom, during 17 days of hospitalization. We evaluated the improvements of symptoms using manual muscle testing (MMT) and measuring the change in walking distance. Results: After 17 days of Korean medicine treatment, there was improvement in the patient's symptoms. MMT improved from 3- to 5, and walking distance improved from 2 spaces to 120 spaces. Conclusions: This study suggested that Korean medical treatment might be effective in the patient's recovery from postzoster femoral nerve palsy.
During a 6-year period, from January 1990 to December 1995, 101 neonates with congenital anomalies were admitted to the division of Pediatric Surgery of Youngdong Severance Hospital. All of them had prenatal screening more than once with ultrasound. Fifty eight of them had prenatally detectable anomalies by ultrasonography. However abnormalities were prenatally detected in 24 neonates(41%). The detection rate was 70% in patientws who had the prenatal screening at our hospital, whereas, the rate was 24% when it was performed at other medical facilities. Duodenal and jejuno-ileal atresia showed the highest detection rate(86%) followed by abdominal mass. Esophageal atresia was suggested by maternal polyhydramnios in 3 patients (25%). Only one patient with diaphragmatic hernia(1.75%) was prenatally detected and none with gastroschisis. The mean interval from birth to operation was 32 hours in the prenatally detected patients and 50 hours in the non detected. The complication rate and the mortality after emergency operation were 20% and 7% in the detected group, and 58% and 23% in the nondetected, respectively. The average period of the hospitalization was 20 days in the detected group and 39 days in the nondetected. We conclude that the prenatal detection of anomalies is necessary to ensure adequate care for the mothers and the babies with congenital anomalies. This includes early transfer, timing of optimal delivery and operation.
This case report determines the effects of Korean medicine treatment on a pontine hemorrhage with a cavernous malformation. In this study, Korean medicine treatments, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and moxibustion, were administered for 30 days. During the hospitalization period, evaluations were performed using the Scott and Kraft Scale, eye movement, 9-gaze photography, the House-Brackmann grading system, and Yanagihara's unweighted grading system on days 1, 12, and 30. The Scott and Kraft Scale increased from -4 to -2, while eye movement increased from 43.1% to 72.3%. The House-Brackmann grading system improved from 4 to 2, and Yanagihara's unweighted grading system increased from 13 to 31. We also discovered that the movement of the left eye was improved by 9-gaze photography. Our findings suggest that Korean medicine treatment has potential effects on esotropia and facial palsy caused by a pontine hemorrhage with a cavernous malformation.
