모바일컴퓨팅, 무선 센서네트워크, 센서 기술로 인하여 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 서비스가 현실화되고 있고 모든 사람들에게 의료서비스를 보다 편리하게 제공할 수 있게 될 것으로 기대된다. 이 u-Healthcare 서비스는 시간, 장소에 구애 받지 않고 의료서비스를 제공할 수 있으므로 인간의 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이 서비스를 구현하는 시스템으로 심장병 환자를 위한 헬스케어 서비스 프로토타입을 구현하였다. 시스템은 두 부분으로 구성된다. front-end는 체온, 혈압, 혈중산소농도, 심장의 파형 등 다양한 생체신호를 수집하고 back-end는 수집된 신호를 바탕으로 의료서비스를 제공한다. 단순히 생체 신호만을 의료진에게 전달하는 것은 모니터링 수준에 불과하여 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 서비스의 요구조건을 만족할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인공신경망 기술을 이용하여 현재의 상황을 인식하여 불필요한 신호를 제거하고, 개인의 특성에 최적화된 헬스케어 모델을 제시한다. 철저한 실험을 통하여 제안된 모델은 유비쿼터스 서비스의 요구조건을 만족하고 보다 향상된 서비스를 제공할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Radiographic left atrial dimension (RLAD) is a valuable metric for assessing left atrial enlargement in dogs. While there have been studies on the use of RLAD and the increase in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels based on heart disease stages, there has been no prior research on the correlation between RLAD and CRP. In this study, the objective was to investigate the relationship between the rise in RLAD as myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) stages advance and the increase in CRP levels with MMVD stage progression. In this study, a total of 30 small-breed dogs were included as subjects. These dogs were diagnosed with MMVD at the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) stage B1 or B2, or stage C, based on a comprehensive assessment including physical examination, thoracic radiography, and echocardiography. Measurements of VHS and RLAD were compared to assess any significant differences. There were significant differences in RLAD between dogs with MMVD ACVIM stage B1 and those with stage C. The monocytes and CRP levels showed significant differences between ACVIM stage B1, B2 and ACVIM C. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between the RLAD and VHS measurements. This underscores the notable association between MMVD stage advancement and elevated monocyte and CRP levels. The RLAD scores exhibited a significant difference among dogs with ACVIM stages B1, B2, and C, and significant variations were also observed in monocyte and CRP levels. These results suggest that monocyte and CRP levels may be a valuable diagnostic indicator for heart disease in dogs during the diagnostic evaluation.

본 연구에서는 업무스트레스 관리를 위해 호흡과 심장박동간의 상관관계를 이용한 최적 호흡법을 유도하고 반복 훈련을 통해 사용자의 건강을 자가 관리하는 시스템을 개발하였다. 일정한 호흡은 심장의 항상성을 유지할 수 있도록 도움을 준다. 심장의 항상성 유지를 통해 업무스트레스 자극으로 인한 심장 리듬의 변화를 빠르게 안정시킬 수 있다. 사람은 개인에 맞는 고유한 호흡리듬을 가지고 있기 때문에, 최적 호흡리듬을 반복적으로 훈련하는 것을 통해 심장의 항상성을 높일 수 있다. 본 시스템은 개인에 맞는 최적 호흡리듬을 찾아서 이를 반복적으로 훈련할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 그리고 업무스트레스가 높은 콜센터 직원들을 대상으로 검증실험을 실시하였다. 검증실험 결과 자신의 맞는 호흡주기를 사용하여 호흡을 하면 심장의 반응이 안정성을 보이고 부교감이 활성화 되는 것을 확인할 있었다. 개발한 시스템을 활용하면 감정노동자들 중에서 콜센터 상담 업무스트레스를 저감시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 이를 통한 업무효율증가와 개인의 건강관리에도 많은 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Objectives: To identify simultaneous behavioral changes in alcohol consumption, smoking, and weight using a fixed-effect model and to characterize their associations with disease status. Methods: This study included 7 000 529 individuals who participated in the national biennial health-screening program every 2 years from 2009 to 2016 and were aged 40 or more. We reconstructed the data into an individual-level panel dataset with 4 waves. We used a fixed-effect model for smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, and overweight. The independent variables were sex, age, lifestyle factors, insurance contribution, employment status, and disease status. Results: Becoming a high-risk drinker and losing weight were associated with initiation or resumption of smoking. Initiation or resumption of smoking and weight gain were associated with non-high-risk drinkers becoming high-risk drinkers. Smoking cessation and becoming a high-risk drinker were associated with normal-weight participants becoming overweight. Participants with newly acquired diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and cancer tended to stop smoking, discontinue high-risk drinking, and return to a normal weight. Conclusions: These results obtained using a large-scale population-based database documented interactions among lifestyle factors over time.

A 3-year-old Jeju native black sow with sudden death was requested to the Jeju Self-Governing Provincial Veterinary Research Institute for diagnosis in July 2009. Because the pig died suddenly, we could not find any clinical signs. Gross lesions such as pulmonary edema, redness of heart, liver, kidney and lymph nodes were observed at necropsy. Histopathologically, there were severe eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, atrophy, degeneration and necrosis of laminar neurons, and neovascularization in cerebral cortex. Based on histopathological findings and history taking about temporal suspension of water supply, this case was diagnosed as salt poisoning of a Jeju native sow. In our best knowledge, this is the first report for salt poisoning of sow in Korea, especially in Jeju native pig.

BACKGROUND: Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a common cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide; however, its epidemiological profile in Korea requires elucidation. METHODS: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study from the Korean valve survey, which collected clinical and echocardiographic data on VHD from 45 medical centers, we identified 4,089 patients with VHD between September and October 2019. RESULTS: The aortic valve was the most commonly affected valve (n = 1,956 [47.8%]), followed by the mitral valve (n = 1,598 [39.1%]) and tricuspid valve (n = 1,172 [28.6%]). There were 1,188 cases of aortic stenosis (AS) and 926 cases of aortic regurgitation. The most common etiology of AS was degenerative disease (78.9%). The proportion of AS increased with age and accounted for the largest proportion of VHD in patients aged 80-89 years. There were 1,384 cases of mitral regurgitation (MR) and 244 cases of mitral stenosis (MS). The most common etiologies for primary and secondary MR were degenerative disease (44.3%) and non-ischemic heart disease (63.0%), respectively, whereas rheumatic disease (74.6%) was the predominant cause of MS. There were 1,172 tricuspid regurgitation (TR) cases, of which 46.9% were isolated and 53.1% were associated with other valvular diseases, most commonly with MR. The most common type of TR was secondary (90.2%), while primary accounted for 6.1%. CONCLUSIONS: This report demonstrates the current epidemiological status of VHD in Korea. The results of this study can be used as fundamental data for developing Korean guidelines for VHD.

Unlike previous studies that reported the infection rates of Dirofilaria immitis in companion dogs, D. immitis genes were tested directly on mosquitoes to see how many mosquitoes actually carry larvae. Mosquito samples were collected from six parks in Incheon from March to August 2018. A total of 18,589 mosquitoes was collected, classified by type and then made 575 sample pools based on 50 mosquitoes. The PCR method was used to detect Dirofilaria immitis genes of sample pools. Dirofilaria immitis genes were detected in 7 of the 575 pools, and these positive mosquito samples were collected in 4 out of the 6 parks. The types of detected mosquitoes were Aedes dorsalis and Ochlerotatus koreanus which have been identified to act as a vector for heart worm propagation in Incheon. Based on these results, it was concluded that D. immitis genes were found in mosquitoes in the neighborhood park.
