이 연구는 대구광역시의 새로운 도시 브랜드인 '메디시티 대구'의 등장 과정을 살폈다. 또한, 이 연구는 또한 '메디시티 대구'라는 브랜드가 가지는 수동적인 장소 이미지와 능동적인 장소 이미지를 고찰하였다. 수동적인 장소 이미지는 이 도시 브랜드에 대한 대학생들의 인식을 설문조사하여 파악되었다. 반면에, 능동적인 장소 이미지는 도시 당국과 홍보관계자들이 이 브랜드를 통해 구축하려는 도시 이미지 전략과 더불어 이미지 구현을 위한 경관과 이벤트 등을 통해 파악되었다. 대구광역시는 '메디시티'라는 새로운 도시 이미지를 이용하여 도시 경쟁력을 확보하고 지역경제의 활성화를 꾀하고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 의도와 달리 새로운 도시 이미지 확산에 어려움을 겪고 있고, 의료산업이나 의료서비스를 도시이미지로 내세우는 다른 도시들과의 차별성을 확보하는데 한계가 있다.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an invasive endoscopic technique that has many diagnostic and therapeutic implications. It is a procedure with small but significant life-threatening complications. To ensure the best possible care, minimize complications, and improve the quality of health care, a constant review of the performance of the operator using ideal benchmark standards is needed. Hence, quality indicators are necessary. The American and European Societies of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy have provided guidelines on quality measures for ERCP, which describe the skills to be developed and training to be implemented in performing quality ERCP. These guidelines have divided the indicators into pre-procedure, intraprocedural, and post-procedure measures. The focus of this article was to review the quality indicators of ERCP.

Primary small cell carcinoma of urinary bladder is a rare but aggressive disease with poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. It accounts for less than 1 % of all the primary cancers seen in the urinary bladder. Diagnosis and management of this entity poses a challenge to the clinician due to the lack of a standardized protocol for its treatment. Herein we discuss primary small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder in its entirety.

Hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor with involvement of the liver, brain, long bones, and lung. Among the 6 histological subtypes, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is the most aggressive. Its occurrence in the mediastinum is quite rare, and very few cases have been documented. The reported cases in the literature have described difficulties in the preoperative diagnosis due to the unusual histological appearance of the tumor. Immunohistochemistry remains the mainstay for a definitive diagnosis. Due to its low incidence, there is no standard treatment for mediastinal EHE, but curative resection is the preferred treatment option where possible, with chemotherapy used as an adjuvant treatment or in cases of widespread inoperable disease. The present case study describes an aggressive EHE occurring in an 18-year-old woman in the anterior mediastinum.
