Even though a rapid development of modem medical science, paralysis disease is a highly dangerous and murderous disease. Shin et al. (1978) constructed the diagnosis expert system which identify a type of the paralysis disease from symptoms of a paralysis disease patients by using the canonical discriminant analysis. The decision tree-based analysis, however, has advantages over the method used in Shin et al. (1998), such as it does not need assumptions - linearity and normality, and suggest appropriate diagnosis procedure which is easily explained. In this paper, we applied the decision tree to construct the model which Identify a type of the paralysis disease.

Variable selection in oriental medical research is considered. Decision tree analysis algorithms such as CHAID, CART, C4.5 and QUEST have been successfully applied to a medical research. Paralysis disease is a highly dangerous and murderous disease which accompanied with a great deal of severe physical handicap. In this paper, we explore the use of CHAID algorithm for selecting variables for evidence-diagnosis of paralysis, disease. Empirical results comparing our proposed method to the method using Wilks $\lambda$ given.

Categorical data are mostly found in oriental medical research. The nonlinear canonical correlation analysis does not assume an interval level of measurement. In this paper, we apply nonlinear canonical correlation analysis to quantification and explain how similar sets of variables are to one another for paralysis disease data.

The causes of vocal cord paralysis include iatrogenic injury during thyroid or cervical surgery, heart and chest surgery, and tumorous lesion such as laryngeal cancer and lung cancer. In addition to these common causes, rarely, cardiovascular disease can also cause vocal fold paralysis. A disease known as Cardiovocal syndrome, or Ortner's syndrome, causes left vocal fold paralysis when the left recurrent laryngeal nerve is compressed by the pulmonary artery and aorta, which is occurred by pulmonary hypertension from heart disease. We report for the first case in Korea the diagnosis of vocal fold paralysis caused by Ortner's syndrome.

It is well known that unilateral vocal cord paralysis is a sign of a disease and not a disease entity. In an attempt to evalute incidence of unilateral vocal cord paralysis related to varoius causes and to analyze our treatment results, the records of 210 patients seen at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Yongdong Severance Hospital during the 10-year period from March 1985 to March 1995 were reviewed. Fifty-three patients(25.2%) of the 210 patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis had surgery-related causes, and intubations including tracheostomy was the most common etilogy among them. One hundred and fifty seven cases(74.8%) was not related to surgery and, among these most common cause was idiopathic. Spontaneous recovery took place in 17(8%) patients. Phonosurgery including type Ⅰ thyroplasty(n=16) and arytenoid adduction(n=10) and combination of them(n=3) yielded good results except intrafold teflon injection(n=4). These results of our series were compared to other series reported over the past decades.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Vocal fold paralysis secondary to sarcoidosis is extremely rare but it can develop as a result of compressive lymphadenopathy, granulomatous infiltration, and neural involvement. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with unilateral vocal fold paralysis and enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes. Computed tomography of the neck revealed multiple, enlarged, and matted lymph nodes at the cervical level of IV. An ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the lymph node was performed, and a histopathological diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made by validating the presence of noncaseating granuloma. After implementation of steroid therapy, the patient exhibited immediate recovery from vocal fold paralysis. Although an extremely rare disease, sarcoidosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of vocal fold paralysis. Accurate diagnosis and prompt steroid treatment may reduce the morbidity of patients with vocal fold paralysis secondary to sarcoidosis.

A 5-year-old girl was admitted because of an acute onset of weakness in her extremities. She had experienced a similar episode before but had recovered spontaneously. She had previously been diagnosed with distal renal tubular acidosis(RTA) at the age of 2 months. During the period of acute paralysis, her serum potassium level was 1.8 mmol/L and the muscle enzymes were markedly raised suggesting massive rhabdomyolysis. Although hypokalemia is common in renal tubular acidosis, acute paralytic presentation is uncommon and is rarely described in children. We report a case of distal RTA complicated with hypokalemic paralysis with a brief review of related literatures.

Facial nerve paralysis is a common pain clinical diagnosis. But ipsilateral or contralateral recurrent facial paralysis is found in about 2.6~19.5% of facial paralysis and especially bilateral facial paralysis is rare. While idiopathic facial paralysis is the most common diagnosis, a comprehensive evaluation must be completed prior to this diagnosis in patients with bilateral facial paralysis. A representative case of bilateral alternating facial paralysis treated with stellate ganglion block (SGB) is presented. A 57 years old male patient who had the onset of a right facial paralysis 7 months ago visited pain clinic. Five months after the onset of right facial paralysis, as it was improving, he developed a left facial paralysis. He had history of hypertension, diabetus mellitus and pain episode on mastoid process before facial paralysis developed. Electrical test showed incomplete neuropathy on both side and computed tomography (CT) scan was normal. He was treated with SGB, physical theraphy and aspirin medication. After 25 times SGB, he was recovered almost completely.

The Blood paralysis(血痺) is infected by a poisonous factor of wind and it disturbs the circulation of meridian. This disease is similar phenomenon to the Blutsaure(血柱) and belongs to the category like the Radial nerve paralysis, the Ulna nerve paralysis and the unstability syndrome of the lower limbs. This dissertation will inquire into symptoms, the way of treatment and the prescriptions of this disease based on the Synopsis of Golden Chamber. The Weakness and fatigue(虛勞) is occurred by several causes. This disease means all the functions of body weakened. This dissertation will inquire into pulse conditions according to the type of the Weakness and fatigue(虛勞), symptoms, the way of treatment and the prescriptions of this disease based on the Synopsis of Golden Chamber.

Objectives : This study was performed to analysis the effect of oriental medical care for inpatients with facial paralysis that had visited Dept. of Otolaryngology Oriental medical hospital Dong-eui university. Methods : From January 2008 to September 2010, a clinical study was done on 250 inpatients who were treated as facial nerve paralysis at the Dept. of Otolaryngology Oriental medical hospital Dong-eui university. This study was assessed using the chart analysis. Results : 1. The distribution of sex : female 54.8%, male 45.2%. The distribution of age was pregented that fifty to sixty was the most in 67 cases(26.8%). 2. The distribution of the period of admission : female 12.5 days, male 9.9 days. 3. The distribution of past history : hypertention(18.8%), diabetes-mellitus(10.85%), facial paralysis(9.25%), cerebrovascular disease(4.4%), liver disease(5.6%), hyperlipidemia(1.2%), otitis media(1.2%), herpes zoster(1.2%), cardiac disease(2.45%), thyroid disease(1.2%). 4. The distribution of the region of facial paralysis : Rt(55.36%), Lt(56.52%). 5. Check the mastoid pain : 66.8%(female 73.91%, male 58.04%). 6. Out of prescription(Ko-Bang, 古方), Galgeun-Tang(葛根湯) and Gaejigeogaegayoungchul-Tang was used most in each 34 cases, Daesiho-Tang(大柴胡湯) 30 cases, Galgeungabanha-Tang(葛根加半夏湯) 27 cases, Sihogaeji-Tang(柴胡桂枝湯) 14 cases, Hwanggigaejiomul-Tang 12 cases, Odu-Tang(烏頭湯) 10 cases, Chijadaehwangsi-Tang 10 cases, Gaejigagalgeun-Tang(桂枝加葛根湯) 7 cases, Banhasasim-Tang(半夏瀉心湯) 5 cases, Injinho-Tang(茵蔯蒿湯) 5 cases in order. 7.
