Objective: The aim of this study was to report the effectiveness of traditional Korean medicine treatment of a gait disturbance in a patient with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus induced by secondary Parkinsonism. Methods: The patient was treated with Korean herbal medicine (Yukmijihwang-tang-gami), acupuncture, moxibustion, and rehabilitation exercise. The gait of the patient was evaluated by the 10 m Walk Test, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, 360° turning test, Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC), and GAITRite. Results: After 20 days of traditional Korean medicine treatment, we observed improvement in the symptoms of the gait disturbance.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of traditional korean herbal medicine(Jaumkunbi-tang) therapy on a hyperthyroidism patient. Clinical data was analyzed on a patient with hyperthyroidism whose main symptoms were fatigue, palpitation, up flame, hyperhidrosis, hypersomnia and dyspepsia. The patient visited our hospital 9 times from November 10, 2011 and remianed until January 30, 2012. He was treated with Jaumkunbi-tang, the traditional korean herbal medicine. After treatment, improvement was seen in clinical symptoms(such as fatigue, palpitation, up flame, hyperhidrosis, hypersomnia and dyspepsia) and thyroid function test. The study suggests that Jaumkunbi-tang, one of traditional korean herbal medicines, could be effective on the treatment of hyperthyroidism.

Objectives : This is a study of ischemic stroke patients designed for comparing Korean and Western medical treatments and Korean medical treatments alone. Methods : 44 patients were diagnosed by B-MRI scan as having suffered ischemic stroke. They had entered Dong-eui Korean Medicine hospital within seven days of attack, and remained over seven days, all between May 2005 and October 2007. Patients were divided into two groups; a group treated with Korean medical treatments, and another group treated with Korean and Western medical treatments (but in both groups examinations were done and Western medications were given for hypertension, diabetes mellitus and so on) Results : NIHss change one month later was not statistically significant for either groups but the NIHss gap between them was significant. Conclusions : NIHss change one week later was not statistically significant for either group. NIHss change one month later was not statistically significant for either groups but the Korean medical treatment group had a significant NIHss gap more than the Korean and Western medical treatment group.

The short form of the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised(Ellis & Rothbart, 1999) was translated into Korean for Korean(N=367) and Korean-Chinese(N=258) children and into Chinese for Chinese-Korean(N=232) and Chinese(N=211) children. This 43 item scale of self-ratings was administered to 4th graders by home-room teachers in China and in Korea. Korean-Chinese children rated themselves higher on affiliation, depression, fear, pleasure- and perceptual - sensitivity and shyness than other groups. Chinese-Korean children were higher on affiliation, aggression and frustration, Chinese children were higher on activation control and Korean children rated themselves lowest on all subscales. Korean girls were higher than boys on activation control and affiliation. Korean boys were higher than girls on pleasure sensitivity. Chinese boys were higher than girls on aggression.

This study aims to research the acoustic properties of Korean and Vietnamese monophthongs by Vietnamese advanced Korean learners, and to discuss the realization of Korean monophthongs compared to Koreans. The Vietnamese advanced Korean learners do not distinguish between /e/ and /${\varepsilon}$/, which are the same as Korean. They pronounce Korean /e(${\varepsilon}$)/ close to /e/ in their native language. In the case of /ʌ/, it is reported that many errors are observed in previous studies. However, /ʌ/ of Vietnamese advanced learners is realized similar to /ʌ/ spoken by Koreans. /ɯ/ of Vietnamese advanced Korean learners is pronounced in the back of the tongue, whereas in the central by Koreans. In the case of /o/ and /u/, there is no significant difference by the Vietnamese advanced Korean learners. /ɯ/ and /u/ are pronounced in relatively front side of the tongue in Korean, but it is not observed in the Vietnamese advanced Korean learners.

The utility and accuracy of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has evolved greatly following the recent development of new devices for neurophysiological testing and advances in anesthesiology. Until recently, the need for IONM services has been limited to large academic hospitals, but the demand for neurophysiologists with expertise in IONM has grown rapidly across diverse types of hospital. The primary goal of the Korean Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (KSION) is to promote the development of IONM research groups and to contribute to the improvement of fellowship among members and human health through academic projects. These guidelines are based on extensive literature reviews, recruitment of expert opinions, and consensus among KSION board members. This version of the guidelines was fully approved by the KSION, Korean Association of EMG Electrodiagnostic Medicine, the Korean Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Korean Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine, and the Korean Neurological Association.
