본 연구는 보건진료원들의 요실금 관련 지식, 태도 및 요실금 관련 간호행위 정도를 조사하고, 요실금 관련 간호행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여, 향후 보건진료원들의 요실금 관련 간호행위를 증진시키기 위한 중재 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로서 사용하고자 실시된 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 연구대상자는 일 지역의 보건진료원 330명 전수였으며, 자료수집은 구조화된 설문지를 이용한 자기기입식으로 우편설문을 통해 이루어졌다. 설문에 응한 170명(응답률: 51.5%)의 보건진료원 자료가 본 연구를 위한 분석에 사용되었다. 보건진료원들이 정규교육 또는 보수교육에서 요실금에 대해 받은 교육은 부족하였으며, 요실금 관련 지식 설문지의 정답률은 68.96%였다. 보건진료원들의 요실금 환자를 돌보는 것에 대한 태도는 긍정적이었지만, 요실금 관련 간호행위에는 소극적으로 참여하고 있었다. 기대했던 것과는 다르게 요실금 관련 지식은 요실금 관련 간호행위의 예측요인이 아니었다. 요실금 관련 태도와 요실금 관련 교육필요성 여부가 보건진료원들의 요실금 관련 간호행위의 예측요인이었으며, 이들 두 변수가 보건진료원의 요실금 관련 간호행위 변이의 9%를 설명했다. 보건진료원들의 요실금 관리 능력 및 실무를 향상시키기 위한 보수교육 프로그램의 개발, 적용 및 평가가 요구된다. 보건진료원들의 요실금 관련 간호행위를 증진시키기 위한 교육 프로그램은 단순한 지식향상에 중점을 두지 말고 태도변화를 가져올 수 있는 프로그램이 되어야 할 것이다.

신경섬유종증은 드문 전신질환 중의 하나로 비뇨생식기계를 침범하는 경우는 극히 드물다고 알려져 있으나 비뇨생식기계를 침범하는 경우에는 그 기관으로 방광이 가장 흔하다. 비뇨생식기계를 침범하는 경우 증상이 나타나기 전까지 그 침범여부를 알기 어려운 경우가 많기 때문에 정기적인 추적관찰 중 비뇨생식기계 증상이 나타난다면 정밀검사를 시행하여 침범상태를 정확히 판단할 필요가 있겠다. 치료 방법으로는 보존적인 치료가 대부분이지만 종양의 크기가 클 경우 종양절개를 하는 경우도 있으나 매우 드물고, 보존적 치료와 동시에 종양의 크기 증가여부에 대하여 정기적인 추적관찰이 요구된다. 저자들은 소아에서 방광을 침범한 신경섬유종증이 증상을 나타낸 경우로 보존적 치료 후 경과관찰 중인 환아 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Objective: Pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) form the base of the abdomino-pelvic cavity and also the PFMs function is important for urinary continence. PFMs training (PFMT) is considered to be the first method for PFM dysfunction. This study demonstrated correct PFMs contraction among commonly used different contraction methods for PFMT. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: In this study, nineteen middle-aged (40-70 years) women participated. To evaluate PFM function, ultrasonography was used to measure the distance of the bladder base movement. The distance of the PFM movements were calculated at rest and during the other contractions. The following four different contraction methods were performed randomly: (1) PFM contraction, (2) abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM), (3) anal contraction, and (4) hip adductor muscle contraction. The participants held the contraction for 3 seconds for a total of 3 times with a 30 seconds rest period between each trial. The mean of three measurements in each position were obtained and compared with that in the resting position. Results: The bladder base movement values were significantly greater when comparing PFM with ADIM and hip adductor contractions (p<0.05). The bladder base movement values were significantly greater when comparing ADIM and anal contractions with hip adductor contractions (p<0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that performing PFM contractions is the best method among the common methods for PFMT. Performing PFM contractions was more effective than the other contraction methods.

Objective: The purpose of this case study is to report the effectiveness of Baliao acupoints electro-acupuncture treatment on a neurogenic overactive bladder induced by stroke. Method: A patient suffering from middle cerebral artery infarction was diagnosed with a neurogenic overactive bladder and treated by Korean medicine, including electro-acupuncture on Baliao acupoints six times per week. The evaluation was performed by monitoring urinary frequency and using the Korean versions of the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) and Urinary Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QoL). Results: After 27 days of electro-acupuncture treatment, the OABSS score improved from 6 to 3. The I-QoL total score improved from 60 to 87. The patient also showed a decrease in nocturia frequency. Conclusion: This case suggests that electro-acupuncture on Baliao acupoints can be effective for overactive bladders due to supra-pontine lesions.

Purpose : Kegel exercises reported that it is effective in managing stress-related or complex urinary incontinence through contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. In many previous studies, it was confirmed that Kegel exercise is involved in respiration as well as urinary system diseases. However, there is a lack of research on the effect of pelvic setting when performing Kegel exercises. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect on maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and abdominal muscle thickness through Kegel exercise after lumbar-pelvic motor control using pressure biofeedback unit (PBU). Methods : The subjects of this study were 10 healthy female students in their 20s. Subjects measured MVV with a spirometer. In hooklying, external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominis of the dominant hand were measured using ultrasound. The measured value was an average of three times. After one week of intervention, measurements were made in the same manner. Before Kegel exercise, pelvic setting training was performed using PBU. In hooklying, PBU was placed in the waist and set to 40 mmHg, and it was adjusted to 60 mmHg through pelvic muscle contraction. For Kegel exercise, the pelvis was first set using PBU, and then the pelvic floor muscles were contracted for 8 seconds and relaxed for 8 seconds, 10 times, 1 set, and 3 sets. Results : In MVV, a significant difference was confirmed after exercise than before exercise (p<.05). There was also a significant difference in abdominal muscle thickness before and after exercise (p<.05). Conclusion : Based on the results of this study, Kegel exercise using PBU had an effect on MVV and abdominal muscle thickness. However, since this study was conducted without a control group as a preliminary study, additional research should be conducted to supplement this.

Myristica fragrans Houtt is commonly known as "nutmeg", it produces two spices: mace and nutmeg. Mace and nutmeg are strongly aromatic in nature and known as jowzabuwa and javetri/bisbasah respectively in the Unani system of medicine. M. fragrans was used as early as 700 BCE by Indian, however, ancient Greeks and Romans were not aware of it. Later Arab traders introduce M. fragrans into Europe followed by Portuguese and Dutch merchants. Mace is very useful medicine in the Unani system of medicine because of its therapeutic uses in salasal al-bawl (urinary incontinence), amrad-i-qalb (cardiac diseases), amrad-i-dimagh (central nervous system), zo'fe bah (sexual debility), amrad al-rahim (uterine diseases), and su-i-hazim (indigestion). The most important constituents of mace essential oil are ${\alpha}-pinene$, sabinene, myrcene, limonene, 1,8-cineole, terpinen-4-ol, myristicin, ${\gamma}-terpinene$, and safrole. The seed and mace extract of nutmeg contain quite high tannins, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Mace has pharmacological functions such as antibacterial and antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidiarrhea, antioxidant, chemoprotective, neuropharmacologic, and antidiabetic properties. To explore the correlation between the traditional uses and the same proven by recent researches, a comprehensive review is highlighted in this paper. Further, pharmacological activities which are not reported in classical texts are also discussed.

Intracranial pial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare cerebrovascular lesion that has only recently been recognized as a distinct pathological entity. A 41-year-old woman (Patient 1) presented with the sudden development of an altered mental state. Brain CT showed an acute subdural hematoma. A red sylvian vein was found intraoperatively. A pial AVF was revealed on postoperative angiography, and surgical disconnection of the AVF was performed. A 10-year-old boy (Patient 2) presented with a 10-day history of paraparesis and urinary incontinence. Brain, spinal MRI and angiography revealed an intracranial pial AVF and a spinal perimedullary AVF. Endovascular embolization was performed for both lesions. The AVFs were completely obliterated in both patients. On follow-up, patient 1 reported having no difficulty in performing activities of daily living. Patient 2 is currently able to walk without assistance and voids into a diaper. Intracranial pial AVF is a rare disease entity that can be treated with surgical disconnection or endovascular embolization. It is important for the appropriate treatment strategy to be selected on the basis of patient-specific and lesion-specific factors in order to achieve good outcomes.
