Objectives This research was proposed to present Clinical Practice Guideline(CPG) for Soyangin Disease of Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM): Diagnosis and Algorithm. This CPG was developed by the national-wide experts committee consisting of SCM professors. Methods We searched the literature and articles related to Soyangin Symptomatology diagnosis and algorithm. For developing diagnosis and algorithm, we searched the classification, ordinary symptom, present symptom of the Soyangin Symptomatology. Results & Conclusions We classify the Soyangin Symptomatology by 4 steps: Exterior-Interior disease, favorable-unfavorable pattern, mild-moderate-severe-critical pattern (initial-advanced pattern). And at the unfavorable pattern, ordinary symptom is very important. So doctors need to focus on the symptom of unfavorable's ordinary symptom such as temperament inclined symptom, diarrhea, and diurnal body fever.

Fine needle aspiration biopsy has been proved as a safe, accurate and cost-effective diagnostic modality in palpable breast lesions. Cytologically, fibrocystic disease can be classified into 3 categories as nonproliferative breast disease, proliferative breast disease without atypia, and proliferative breast disease with atypia. This terminology for fine needle aspirates is compatible with that of diagnostic histopathology. Cytologic differentiation of nonproliferative disease from proliferative breast disease is important, since the risk of cancer development in cases of atypical hyperplasia is 4-5 times higher than that of general population. Twenty five fine needle aspirates of fibrocystic disease confirmed by subsequent histopathology were re-evaluated and classified into 3 categories depending on their architectural and nuclear features. In addition, these aspirates were scored according to the cytologic grading system, devised by Masood et al. and based on six cytologic criteria. Concordance rates between cytomorpholgic diagnosis and cytologic diagnosis using the cytologic criteria grading system and histologic diagnosis were 88% and 92%, respectively.

Object : The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and Dampness-Phlegm diagnosis in cerebral infarction patients. Methods : Among 227 of the total recruited patients, 59 patients were diagnosed as left ventricular hypertrophy. We assessed their general characteristics, risk factors, lab findings and Korean medical diagnosis. We compared the assessed variables between left ventricular hypertrophy group and non left ventricular group. We analyzed the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and risk factors. And we also analyzed the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and dampness-phlegm diagnosis. Results : 1. The rate of left ventricular hypertrophy in female patients was larger than the rate of male patients. 2. There were more patients finally diagnosed hypertension in left ventricular hypertrophy group. 3. According to the analysis about the rate of Dampness-phlegm related Index for Pattern Identification by left ventricular hypertrophy, Sallow complexion and obesity were significantly higher in the left ventricular hypertrophy than in the non left ventricular hypertrophy group. 4. In multivariate analysis, Dampness-phlegm group showed close relationship with left ventricular hypertrophy. Conclusions : According to the analysis, significance between dampness-phlegm diagnosis diagnosed group and left ventricular hypertrophy were clarified. These results can be utilized in the future as a basic material to be used for diagnosis and management of dampness-phlegm diagnosis on cardiovascular diseases.

최근들어 우리나라에서 소아 염증성 장질환 특히 크론병의 유병률이 매우 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 염증성 장질환의 진단을 위해 자세한 병력 청취와 혈액 검사 그리고 대장 내시경 검사가 필요하다. 대부분의 환자에서 복통, 설사, 체중감소, 혈변 등의 전형적인 증상을 보이지만 비전형적인 발현으로 장기간 진단에 어려움을 겪을 수 있어 주의를 요한다.

The early diagnosis has an very important role in curing dementia. But there was not the effective method to diagnose it until now. In this paper we analyzed the EEG of Alzheimer's disease patients and normal groups by nonlinear methods. In the analysis we calculated the correlation dimensions $D_2$ and the largest Lyapunov exponent $L_1$. We found that patients with Alzheimer's disease have significantly lower $D_2$ and TEX>$L_1$ than normal groups. It means that brains injured by Alzheimer's disease have electrophysiological inactive elements and have decreased chaotic behaviour. We propose the nonlinear analysis of the EEG as a useful tool for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

염증성 장질환의 두 가지 주요 질환으로 크론병과 궤양성 대장염이 있다. 염증성 장질환이 의심될 때, 최근에는 장벽과 장벽 밖을 모두 평가할 수 있고 다른 질환과의 감별에도 도움을 받을 수 있어 CT 소장조영술이 초기 영상검사로 널리 사용되고 있다. 염증성 장질환이 의심되는 경우, 크론병과 궤양성 대장염과의 구분이 필요하며 대부분의 경우 어렵지 않게 구분이 되나 그렇지 않은 경우가 있어 이를 염증성 장질환-미분류(inflammatory bowel diseaseunclassified)로 구분한다. 궤양성 대장염의 경우 CT 소견은 비특이적인 경우가 많아 영상검사만으로 다른 질환과 감별하기 어려운 경우가 많다. 크론병의 경우 특징적인 CT 소견이 진단에 도움이 되는 경우가 많으나 이를 모방하는 질환들이 있으며 특히 결핵성 장염은 여전히 크론병과 감별이 어려울 수 있다. 최근에는 크론병과 유사한 다발성 궤양과 협착이 있는 환자의 일부에서 SLCO2A1이라는 프로스타글란딘 수송체를 암호화하는 유전자의 돌연변이가 질환의 원인인 것으로 밝혀져 크론병과 감별하기 위해 유전자 검사가 시행되고 있다.

Integrated pest management is essential for controlling plant diseases that reduce crop yields. Rapid diagnosis is crucial for effective management in the event of an outbreak to identify the cause and minimize damage. Diagnosis methods range from indirect visual observation, which can be subjective and inaccurate, to machine learning and deep learning predictions that may suffer from biased data. Direct molecular-based methods, while accurate, are complex and time-consuming. However, the development of large multimodal models, like GPT-4, combines image recognition with natural language processing for more accurate diagnostic information. This study introduces GPT-4-based system for diagnosing plant diseases utilizing a detailed knowledge base with 1,420 host plants, 2,462 pathogens, and 37,467 pesticide instances from the official plant disease and pesticide registries of Korea. The AI plant doctor offers interactive advice on diagnosis, control methods, and pesticide use for diseases in Korea and is accessible at https://pdoc.scnu.ac.kr/.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, fibrosing interstitial pneumonia with a very poor prognosis. Accurate diagnosis of IPF is essential for good outcomes but remains a major medical challenge due to variability in clinical presentation and the shortcomings of existing diagnostic tests. Medical history collection is the first and most important step in the IPF diagnosis process; the clinical probability of IPF is high if the suspected patient is 60 years or older, male, and has a history of cigarette smoking. Systemic assessment for connective tissue disease is essential in the initial evaluation of patients with suspected IPF to identify potential causes of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Radiologic examination using high-resolution computed tomography plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of patients with ILD, and prone and expiratory computed tomography images can be considered. If additional tests such as surgical lung biopsy or transbronchial lung cryobiopsy are needed, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy should be considered as an alternative to surgical lung biopsy in medical centers with experience performing this procedure. Diagnosis through multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) is strongly recommended as MDD has become the cornerstone for diagnosis of IPF, and the scope of MDD has expanded to monitoring of disease progression and suggestion of appropriate treatment options.

Mitochondrial disease is a group of disorders caused by dysfunctional mitochondria, the organelles that generate energy for the cell. Diagnosis of mitochondrial disease is difficult, subtle, and has many problems. It is more likely to miss the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease, especially in borderline cases where the symptoms of the disease are not severe. In this regard, urine organic acid analysis is noninvasive and can increase the sensitivity and specificity through repeated load test with few changes according to the specimen. And, It is considered to be suitable as a screening test for mitochondrial diseases because it has a great advantage of distinguishing from organic aciduria, urea cycle disorder and fatty acid oxidation disorder which may have similar symptoms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features and age distribution of mitochondrial diseases diagnosed by organic acid analysis and to establish the policy of diagnosis and treatment based on this study.
