The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status and to identify related factors in elderly hemodialysis patients. Sixty-four patients who were registered in Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, participated in the study. The data was collected between September and December, 2003. General characteristics were obtained with the use of an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Anthropometric and biochemical data, 3-day dietary records and dietary habits were also obtained. The results of this study were analyzed with t-test or $X^2$-test using SPSS package program. The percentage of elderly hemodialysis patients who were undergoing mild to severe malnutrition (MN group) and were normal nutrition (NN group) by subjective global assessment (SGA) criteria were 46.9% and 53.1 %, respectively. Appetite (p < 0.05) and dietary cholesterol intakes (p < 0.05) were significantly lower in MN group than the NN group. Body mass index (BMI, p < 0.001), lean body mass (LBM, p < 0.05), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF, p < 0.01), mid ann circumference (MAC, p < 0.01) and mid ann muscle circumference (MAMC, p < 0.05) were also lower in the MN group than the NN group. There were also significant differences in blood urea nitrogen (BUN, p < 0.05), creatinine (p < 0.05), prealbumin (p < 0.001) and C-reactive protein (CRP, p < 0.05). SGA was negatively correlated with serum BUN, creatinine and pre albumin, dry weight, BMI, LBM, total body water, TSF, MAC and MAMC, and positively correlated with age. In stepwise multiple regression analysis, SGA was related to BMI, CRP, age and BUN. In conclusion, almost half of the subjects were in malnourished status and had lower values in anthropometric and biochemical data. Our results suggest that SGA is a simple and adequate method for assessing the nutritional status in elderly hemodialysis patients and adequate dietary guidelines based on individual nutritional status are needed in the patients.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between symptom severity and neurocognitive factors in traumatic head injury patients. In addition, the effect of frontal lobe damage on these parameters was examined. Methods : We selected 18 patients who had brain damage for the moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (MSTBI) group, and 17 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) without the finding of brain damage for the comparison group. For the evaluation of neurocognitive function, K-WAIS, Rey-Kim Memory Test, K-FENT, WCST, and MMPI-2 were used. Results : The results of the comparison (using the malingering scale) revealed that the values of PDS and PK, which express the severity of symptoms, and the values of the validity scale F, F (B), and F (P) were significantly higher in the overly-expressed group. F (B) in overly-expressed group and PK, Pt, and Sc in the properly-expressed group had significant correlation with the severity of symptoms. F (B), S, and Stroop error inhibition in PTSD, and PK, Pt, Sc, and MQ in MSTBI had significant correlation with the severity of symptoms. The results of the comparison based on the finding of frontal lobe damage revealed that PDS, EIQ, and MQ ware significantly higher in the group without brain damage. Conclusions : It was revealed that each neurocognitive factor was correlated with the severity of symptoms. There was a decrease in complaints or symptoms reported by the frontal lobe injury group, and this is believed to be due to degenerative change in the personality and emotional functioning of these patients following frontal lobe damage.

The importance of quality control has been emphasized to maintain safety of patients and satisfaction of medical service with medical devices used in clinic. Accordingly, objective evaluation method and standards consistently has been brought up for demand to replace outdated medical devices in appropriate time and to maintain the quality of medical service. Though many studies made suggestions methods to determine what medical devices to be replaced first, these methods were difficult in practice for its complex evaluation criteria and long time to evaluate. Therefore, in this study, a simple evaluation method is developed to identify and prioritize medical devices that are ought to be replaced. For the development of this simple evaluation method, four major characteristics of technology, safety, finance, and user satisfaction, which are considered in clinics to evaluate medical device replacement, and 14 minor attributes are distinctively selected. Each characteristic is assessed in binary form of "YES" or "NO" to minimize its subjective nature. Using this method to evaluate sampled medical devices belonging to four different characteristics, devices are suggested to be replaced in the current financial year or in the following financial year, or re-evaluated by the end of this financial year. Such results of evaluation can amend the subjective nature of existing evaluation method and give objective standards more promptly.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether and how the biopsychosocial features of myofascial pain (MFP) differ from those of local myalgia (LM) in temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Methods: Patients with TMD were retrospectively evaluated using the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD. All patients completed a series of self-administered questionnaires on pain severity and pain interference (Brief Pain Inventory, BPI), pain disability (Graded Chronic Pain Scale, GCPS), psychological distress (Symptom Check List-90-Revised, SCL-90R), pain cognition (Pain Catastrophizing Scale, PCS), and subjective sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI). Among all the TMD diagnoses, muscle pain was classified into the MFP group and LM group. Results: This study included 917 patients with myalgia (MFP: 266, LM: 651). Significant differences were observed in the female ratio (78.9% for MFP, 60.9% for LM, p<0.001) and the mean pain duration (MFP: 25.3 months, LM: 15.8 months, p=0.001) between the two groups. Patients with MFP exhibited higher pain severity (p=0.003) and pain interference (p<0.001) of BPI than those with LM. Furthermore, the global scores of the PCS (p<0.001) and PSQI (p<0.001) were higher in the MFP group than in the LM group. The MFP group had higher global symptom index (p=0.017) and five subscales of the SCL-90R than the LM group. Compared with the LM group (33.4%), the greater proportion of high disability of GCPS was observed in the MFP group (44.9%) (p<0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that sex (p=0.002), pain duration (p=0.019), pain disability (p=0.010), and subjective sleep quality (p=0.008) significantly differed between the two groups. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicated that MFP presents a higher biopsychosocial burden than LM in TMD.

Leadership development corresponds to the focus on the individual's success and competitiveness strategy. This is the optimal direction of the organization of attitude development because it covers two aspects of the student's personality development, professionally-oriented and self-centric. The aim of the study is to identify and compare the leadership level in second-and fourth-year students to see dynamics of development and implementation of the leadership phenomenon in the professional and personal making up of future specialists. Based on the theoretical analysis of the issue, the authors developed an objective and subjective diagnostic model for leadership skills. In this study, data of the objective diagnostic technique are the key. Subjective diagnostic technique for leadership skills provides insights for problem interpretation. At the level of the first group of respondents, the average Leadership Skills Level of the second-year students was quite low and was found within the medium level. The second group of respondents consisting of the fourth-year students showed a slight but effective improvement. The Leadership Skills of this group were found at a sufficient level. Positive dynamics was revealed for all criteria of leadership skills as a result of applying objective diagnostic methods: decreased percentage of students with negative and relatively low markers of Leadership Skills Level and corresponding increase in percentage of applicants with positive markers of Leadership Skills Level. Further research can be organized in the direction of identifying and developing successful universal and professionally-oriented tactics for leadership development in students as part of attitude development.

This scoping review aimed to identify and categorize the available measurement options for vaginal laxity (VL), their indications of use, and whether these measurements can sufficiently provide objective clinical judgment for cases indicated for vaginal rejuvenation with many treatment options nowadays. Systematic searches were conducted on five electronic databases, manually searching articles' bibliographies and predetermined key journals with no date or study design limitations. We included all studies involving VL in their inclusion criteria, treatment indications, and outcome parameters. We used the Arksey and O'Malley frameworks as the guideline in writing this scoping review. Of the 9,464 articles identified, 66 articles and 11,258 subjects were included in the final analysis. The majority of studies were conducted in obstetrics and gynecology (73%), followed by plastic surgery (10%), medical rehabilitation (4.5%), dermatology (4.5%), and others (8%). Most studies originated from the North American region (30%). The following measurement tools were used: (1) interviews, (2) questionnaires, (3) physical/digital examinations, (4) perineometers, and (5) others. Our results suggested that subjective perception of laxity confirmed by directed interview or questionnaire is sufficient to confirm VL. Additional evaluation of pelvic floor muscle through digital examination or perineometer or other preferred tools and evaluation of sexual function through validated questionnaire (Female Sexual Function Index, Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised, etc.) should follow to ensure holistic care to patients. Future research on the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of commonly used measurements and the correlation in between subjective and objective measurements should be initiated before their clinical applications.

기존의 급경사지재해 평가방법은 현장조사를 기반으로 하여 일정 과정의 실내분석이 실시된 후 그 결과를 도출하기 때문에, 현장에서 즉각적인 평가결과를 도출하기 어려운 점이 있었다. 이러한 문제점과 기존의 주관적 평가방법에서 발생하는 평가결과의 오차를 줄이기 위해 본 연구에서는 현장에서 직접 관련요소를 조사하고 이를 토대로 급경사지재해 취약성을 객관적으로 평가할 수 있는 방법을 개발하고자 노력하였다. 이를 위해 응용통계기법의 하나인 AHP 분석을 이용하여 급경사지재해 취약성 평가표를 개발하였는데, 이는 전문가 설문을 통한 AHP분석 방법의 결과를 이용해 수행한 것으로서, 각 평가항목과 평가항목별 세부등급에 대한 가중치를 각각 설정하였다. 평가항목들의 가중치를 100점으로 환산하여 점수화 한 결과 사면경사가 가장 높은 중요도를 보이고, 투수계수, 함수비, 공극율, 암질, 그리고 고도의 순서로 결정되었다. 이렇게 결정된 평가항목별 점수를 기준으로 평가항목 각각의 세부등급에 대한 점수를 할당하여 급경사지재해 취약성 평가표를 개발하였다. 급경사지재해 취약성 평가표를 이용하여 평가자는 평가대상 지점에 대해 각 평가항목별 해당 속성, 즉 세부등급을 선택하고, 선택된 각 속성별 평가점수를 더하면 급경사지재해 취약성을 점수로 파악할 수 있다.

중금속으로 오염된 폐광산 주변부나 유류누출로 인한 토양오염 등과 같은 오염토양부지에 대한 조사를 위해서는 우선 조사의 목적과 상황에 알맞은 기준을 설정하고, 이를 토대로 조사방법을 설계하여야 한다. 이러한 상황별 조사방법은 조사결과의 질적 수준 뿐만 아니라 모방결합에 영향을 미치게 되는데 그 수준을 제한하는 요인으로는 보통 총 조사비용, 관련규제법이 요구하는 조사수준, 그리고 전문적 경험에 의한 주관적 기준 등이 그 예가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 조사 목적에 따라 달리하는 각 기준(fitness-for-purpose criteria)을 만족시키게끔 조사방법을 설계하는 예를 들어보았다. 먼저, 경제적 요소와 측정된 자료의 질적 수준을 참고하는 방법을 고안하여 보았다. 이를 위해 측정불확도(measurement uncertainty)로 평가되는 측정결과의 질적 수준이 의사결정의 오류에 영향을 미치는 확률을 확률적손실계산식을 이용하여 평가하고, 이를 이용하여 비용경제적인 측면에서 조사를 최적화하는 방안을 고안하였다. 이와 더불어 위해성 평가를 위한 부지의 평균오염도수준 산출의 예와 같이 의사결정의 오류에 의한 손실보다는 측정된 평균값의 오차와 측정에 요구되는 비용을 최소화 해야 하는 경우와, 또한 측정값에 대한 일정한 질적 수준이 요구되는 경우의 조사방법, 그리고 제한된 비용을 최대한 활용할 수 있는 시료수와 분석수의 최적비율 등을 도출하는 방법을 다루었다. 각 방법은 영국의 두 오염지역에 적용하여 그 타당성을 평가하여보았다.

연구자들은 지문 증강 기법에 대한 효과성을 비교하기 위하여 시각적인 판단기준을 이용해왔다. 그러나 시각적인 판단기준은 연구자의 주관적 판단이기 때문에 편향이 생길 수 있다. 따라서 많은 연구자들은 Contrast Index를 이용하여 지문 증강 기법에 대해 객관적인 판단을 하고자 하였다. 하지만 선행연구에서는 잉크지문 또는 정색반응을 통해 현출한 지문에서만 Contrast Index를 검증했다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Contrast Index를 이용하여 표준지문의 농담에 따라 색지별 형광지문의 증강 정도를 비교하였다. Contrast Index의 값은 표준지문의 농담, 배경의 색, 사용 시약 및 광원에 따라 같은 표준지문을 이용하였음에도 각기 다른 값을 나타내었고, 수치 비교를 통하여 배경의 색, 사용 시약 및 광원에 따른 형광지문의 증강 정도를 비교할 수 있었다. 시각적 평가기준을 이용하였을 때에는 시약과 광원에 상관없이 같은 최고점의 점수를 얻은 것과 달리 Contrast Index값을 이용한 본 연구에서는 좀 더 세세한 점수 비교를 할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 Contrast Index를 이용하여 형광시약의 증강 정도를 비교한다면 배경색에 따라 광원과 시약을 선택하는 판단 근거로 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
