In this paper the possibility of snorer-dependent snore recognition using cepstral coefficients was suggested. We assumed that snore and speech sounds have some similarities and we used cepstral coefficients which are widely used for speech recognition. Snoring data were acquired from 18 persons including 5 patients diagnosed as snore patient. To evaluate the performance of proposed method, the distance ratio based on LPC cepstral coefficients was selected as an index for snorer-dependent snore recognition. As a result, distance ratio of 3 was selected as optimal value showing the most efficient snorer-dependent snore recognition, which is high accuracy of 95.05％ on average. In conclusion, the proposed method showed the possibilities to be applied in clinical applications for snorer-dependent snore recognition.

This paper proposes an effective recognition method of VPI patient's speech employing DNN-HMM-based speech recognition system, and evaluates the recognition performance compared to GMM-HMM-based system. The proposed method employs speaker adaptation technique to improve VPI speech recognition. This paper proposes to use simulated VPI speech for generating a prior model for speaker adaptation and selective learning of weight matrices of DNN, in order to effectively utilize the small size of VPI speech for model adaptation. We also apply Linear Input Network (LIN) based model adaptation technique for the DNN model. The proposed speaker adaptation method brings 2.35% improvement in average accuracy compared to GMM-HMM based ASR system. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DNN-HMM-based speech recognition system is effective for VPI speech with small-sized speech data, compared to conventional GMM-HMM system.

Background: If patients have a better understanding about their problem and treatment, compliance and satisfaction with treatment will increase. For this purpose, simple repeated explanations regarding a patients' problem and treatment are essential. Critical pathway (CP) has a very wide range in medicine with the exception of the plastic surgery field. The authors developed a CP for facial bone fractures and implemented it clinically. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the CP on the degree of recognition of the problem along with patient satisfaction with the treatment process. Methods: From May 2011 to October 2011, a total of 82 patients suffering from facial bone fractures were studied. The CP for facial bone fractures was developed by plastic surgeons, residents and nurses. Subsequently, the authors investigated the degree of recognition of the disease and patient satisfaction with the treatment through the use of a questionnaire. The authors compared the score of the questionnaires before and after implementation of the clinical pathway. Results: The degree of the recognition of the problem changed from 3.1 to 4.2 (p<0.001). Further, the degree of satisfaction with the treatment process changed from 3.6 to 4.3 (p<0.05). Overall, there was a two point increase in improvement. Conclusion: Implementation of the CP for facial bone fractures was effective in improving the degree of recognition and satisfaction. The authors expect that hereafter, the CP for facial bone fractures will be implemented actively in the plastic surgery field.

Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate experiences, perceptions, and educational needs related to patient safety and the factors affecting these perceptions. Methods: Study design was a descriptive survey conducted in November 2019. A sample of 1,187 Koreans aged 20-80 years participated in the online survey. Based on previous research, the questionnaire used patient safety-related and educational requirement items, and the Patient Safety Perception Scale. Descriptive statistics and a decision tree analysis were performed using SPSS 25.0. Results: The average patient safety perception was 71.71 (± 9.21). Approximately 95.9% of the participants reported a need for patient safety education, and 88.0% answered that they would participate in such education. The most influential factors in the group with low patient safety perceptions were the recognition of patient safety activities, age, preference of accredited hospitals, experience of patient safety problems, and willingness to participate in patient safety education. Conclusion: It was confirmed that the vulnerable group for patient safety perception is not aware of patient safety activities and did not prefer an accredited hospital. To prevent patient safety accidents and establish a culture of patient safety, appropriate educational strategies must be provided to the general public.
