In the International Classification of Sleep Disorders(ICSD), REM sleep behavior disorder(RBD) and nightmares are classified as 'parasomnias usually associated with REM sleep'. RBD can be defined as the intermittent absence of REM sleep EMG atonia and the appearance of the elaborate motor activity associated with dream mentation. Bilateral pontine tegmental lesions in cats induce RBD-like behavior, but in human cases, more than 60% are idiopathic. Polysomnograpy shows characteristic findings in REM sleep and treatment with clonazepam is highly effective. With nightmares as long, frightening dream decreasing with age, their persistence or apperance in adults is related with certain drugs, trauma, personality and psychotic episode. Psychotherapy, behavior techniques or medication is used for treatment, but all of nightmares do not require treatment.

Sleep disorders such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and restless legs syndrome (RLS) are very common disorders and may cause significant burden in terms of individual as well as societal aspects. Sleep insufficiency from such sleep disorders may cause deleterious effects on daily work life and may be associated with other major medical or psychiatric disorders including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, depression, and anxiety disorder. Various motor or occupational accident may result from the sleep problems. In addition, recent researches provide the method to evaluate the lost productivity time in terms of absenteeism and presenteeism. Moreover, several studies on cost-effectiveness of treatment of sleep disorders show that it is cost-effective.

목적 : 학령전기 주의력결핍 과잉행동장애(Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; ADHD) 성향 아동을 대상으로 Ayres의 감각통합중재를 적용하여 운동기능 및 작업참여에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 선별 검사를 통해 선정기준과 배제기준에 부합하는 만 4~6세의 ADHD 성향 아동 중 무작위로 선별한 실험군 10명, 대조군 8명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 연구 도구는 운동기능을 측정하기 위하여 Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2(BOT-2), 작업수행을 통한 참여 정도를 알아보기 위해 Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory(PEDI)와 목표달성척도(Goal Attainment Scale;GAS)를 사용하였다. 실험군은 Ayres의 중심원리를 적용한 개별 감각통합중재를 40분씩, 주 2회, 8주간 총 16회기를 실시하였다. 분석은 중재효과를 알아보기 위해 두군의 차이는 맨휘트니 U 검정과 Cohen'sd 검정을 사용하였고, 실험군 내의 중전 전 후 차이는 윌콕슨 부호순위 검정을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : Ayres의 감각통합중재를 실시한 실험군은 중재를 실시하지 않은 대조군에 비해 운동기능에서 전체 운동영역 점수와 손의 협응, 신체 협응, 근력과 기민성 영역에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 실험군과 대조군의 작업참여(PEDI)는 통계적으로 차이는 없었으나, GAS 점수에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 결론 : Ayres의 감각통합중재는 학령전기 ADHD 성향 아동의 운동기능과 작업참여에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다.

본 연구는 뇌성마비 아동의 대동작 기능과 먹기, 마시기 기능, 구강 운동 기능과의 상관관계를 확인해보고, 뇌성마비 아동의 대동작 기능의 심한 정도에 따른 연하 재활의 필요성을 확인하기 위해 시행되었다. 뇌성마비 진단을 받은 아동 61명을 대상으로 대동작 기능 분류 체계(GMFCS), 먹기와 마시기 기능분류 체계(EDACS), 구강 운동 기능 검사(OMAS)를 사용하여 대동작 기능, 먹고 마시기 기능, 구강 운동 기능 수준을 평가하고 각 기능 간 상관관계를 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 대동작, 먹고 마시기 기능, 구강 운동 기능 사이에서 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 즉, 대동작 기능 저하가 심할수록 먹고 마시기 기능과 구강 운동 기능 저하 역시 낮은 기능 수준을 보였다. 본 연구를 통하여 뇌성마비 아동의 섭식활동을 평가하고 치료함에 있어, 아동의 대동작 기능에 따른 먹고 마시기 기능, 구강 운동 기능에 대한 확인이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Nasopharyngeal cancer is malignant tumor of nasopharyngeal area that is characterized of lymphadenopathy, pain, otitis media, hearing loss and cranial nerve palsy and may present symptoms similar to temporomandibular disorder such as facial pain and trismus. In this case, the patient with symptoms similar to temporomandibular disorder after surgery for otitis media presented with facial paresthesia and masticatory muscle weakness. Examinaion of trigemimal nerve was shown sensory and motor abnormaility. The patient was referred to a neurologist. Nasopharyngeal cancer was suspected on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and was confirmed by biopsy. If the patient presenting with paresthesia and muscle weakness the cranial nerve examination should be performed regardless of typical temporomandibular disorder symptom. The neurologic symptom can be caused by neoplasm such as brain tumor and nasopharyngeal cancer. Nasopharyngeal cancer on rosenmuller fossa can develop otitis media. Therefore, the patient with otitis media history should be consulted to otorhinolaryngologist to examin the nasopharyngeal area.

Using an ethopharmacological technique, we demonstrated that saponin fraction from red ginseng root possessed a potent psychotropic actions on either intermale or maternal aggression models. A series of experiments clearly indicated that one of psychoactive ingredient is ginsenoside Rbl. Although a drug-induced debilitation of motor performance remains a possible cause of the antiaggressive effect of the drug, ginsenoside Rb 1 did not alter the locomotor activity of the mice during agonistic confrontations. Thus, one can eliminate the possibility that the psychoactive effect of ginsenoside Rbl might be concealed by a drugindulced impairment of motor performance. More recently, we developed a new model for copulatory disorder and introduced into the behavioral analysis of drug action. Male mice which has been housed individually from weaning for 5 weeks failed to manifest copulatory behavior when they encountered with the sexually-receptive females. Daily administration of crude ginseng saponin during isolation housing period prevented the development of copulatory disorder, whereas both ginsenoside Rbl and Rgl were ineffective. A further experiment may be needed to explore active ingredient of ginseng saponins. Keywords Panax ginseng, Korean red ginseng, psychotropic action, saponin, ginsenoside Rb1

Voice is the most common means for communication, but some people have difficulties in generating voice due to their congenital or acquired disorders. Individuals with speech disorders might lose their speaking ability due to hearing impairment, encephalopathy or cerebral palsy accompanied by motor skill impairments, or autism caused by mental problems. However, they have needs for communication, so some of them use various types of AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) devices in order to meet their communication needs. In this paper, a mobile application for literate people having speech disorder was designed and implemented by developing accurate and fast sentence-completion functions for efficient user interaction. From a user study and the previous study on Korean text-based communication for adults having difficulty in speech communication, we identified functionality and usability requirements. Specifically, the user interface with scanning features was designed by considering the users' motor skills in using the touch-screen of a mobile device. Finally, we conducted the usability test for the application. The results of the usability test show that the application is easy to learn and efficient to use in communication with people with speech disorders.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is the second most common disorder after Alzheimer's disease. PD includes both "motor" and "non-motor" symptoms, one of which is pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of pain in patients with PD. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 250 patients diagnosed with PD, 70% of which had mild to moderate PD (stages 2/3 of Hoehn and Yahr scale). The average age was 67.4 years, and the average duration since PD diagnosis was 7.1 years. Relevant data collected from PD patients were obtained from their personal medical history. Results: The prevalence of pain was found to be high (82%), with most patients (79.2%) relating their pain to PD. Disease duration was correlated with the frequency of intense pain (R: 0.393; P < 0.05). PD pain is most frequently perceived as an electrical current (64%), and two pain varieties were most prevalent (2.60 ± 0.63). Our findings confirm links between pain, its evolution over time, its multi-modal character, the wide variety of symptoms of PD, and the female sex. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that the pain felt by PD patients is mainly felt as an electrical current, which contrasts with other studies where the pain is described as burning and itching. Our classification is innovative because it is based on anatomy, whereas those of other authors were based on syndromes.

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, CMT) was first described by Charcot and Marie in France and, independently, by Tooth in England in 1886. HMSN is the most common form of inherited motor and sensory neuropathy, and is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of the peripheral nervous system. Using positional cloning methods, the chromosomal localization (locus) of more than 40 inherited peripheral neuropathies was found in the last 15 years. However, these genetic analyses also show that many entities do not show linkage to the known loci. This issue deals with a clinical survey of inherited peripheral neuropathies regarding diagnostic approaches based on the molecular findings.
