Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas or hyperplasias account for up to 25% of primary hyperparathyroidism cases. Most abnormal parathyroid glands are found in the superior mediastinum within the thymus and can be removed through a cervical incision; however, a few of these glands are not accessible using standard cervical surgical approaches. Surgical resection has traditionally been performed via median sternotomy or thoracotomy. However, recent advancement in video-assisted thoracic surgery techniques has decreased the need for sternotomy or thoracotomy to remove these ectopic parathyroid glands. Here, we report a successful case of video-assisted thoracoscopic removal of a mediastinal parathyroid adenoma.

A 73-year-old man, who, in an inebriated state, had slipped in a flowerbed and was wounded on the left flank, was transferred to Trauma Center, Gil Medical Center, Gachon University College of Medicine. Based on the chest and abdominopelvic computed tomography, he was diagnosed with multiple rib fractures and hemopneumothorax on the left hemithorax and was found to have a bony fragment in the spleen. He had not presented peritonitis and exsanguinous symptoms during the observation period. Seven days later, computed tomography of the abdomen showed suspected diaphragmatic injury and a retained foreign body in the spleen. On exploration by video assisted thoracoc surgery (VATS), a herniated omentum through the lacerated site of the diaphragm was observed. After omentectomy using Endo Gia, the foreign body in the spleen was observed through the lacerated site of the diaphragm. Traumatic diaphragm rupture with a foreign body, in the spleen, was successfully managed by video assisted thoracic surgery via the lacerated site of the diaphragm.

This study examined a rarely seen benign heart tumor that was found incidentally on a chest X-ray. Radiological images were taken of a 42-year-old patient with no symptoms of a heart condition, showing a thick-walled left lung cavity that appeared after prior inflammation and concomitant enlargement of the cardiac shadow. A large subepicardial lipoma in combination with a chronic abscess on the left lung was revealed on chest computed tomography. The treatment consisted of simultaneous surgical removal of both the lung and heart lesions using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

In this paper, I present the technique of subxiphoid single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) thymectomy for thoracic surgeons to perform this procedure safely. This procedure is indicated for all anterior mediastinal masses and may be extended to lung cancer. The patient is placed in the lithotomy position, and the operator should be on the midline. Below the xiphoid process, a skin incision is made 4-5 cm horizontally at a single thumb's width down. Under two-lung ventilation, CO₂ is insufflated, maintaining 10 mm Hg. The fat tissue and thymic tissue are all resected from the sternum and pericardium between both phrenic nerves using an articulated grasper and an energy device. After retrieval of the mass with a wrap bag, a Jackson-Pratt drain is inserted instead of a chest tube. One of the advantages of this procedure is less postoperative pain than intercostal VATS. The subxiphoid approach can be used for bilateral pneumothorax, bilateral pulmonary metastasectomy, and simple lobectomy for both upper lobes and the right middle lobe.

Minimally invasive strategies are increasingly popular in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG)-associated thymomas. Within the context of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) as a widely known minimally invasive option, the most recent achievement is uniportal subxiphoid VATS. In MG patients, it is mandatory (1) to minimize perioperative interference with administered anesthetics to avoid complications and (2) to achieve a complete surgical resection, as the prognosis essentially depends on radical tumor resection. In order to fulfill these criteria, we merged this surgical technique with its anesthesiologic counterpart: regional anesthesia with the maintenance of spontaneous ventilation via a laryngeal mask. Non-intubated uniportal subxiphoid VATS for extended thymectomy allowed radical thymectomy in all MG patients with both rapid symptom control and fast recovery.

배경: 비디오 기술의 발전과 내시경의 향상으로 비디오 흉강경수술은 기흉, 다한증 및 종격동 종양 같은 몇 몇 질환에서는 표준 수술로서 인정받고 있다. 이러한 비디오 흉강경수술은 전신마취하에 이중기도관에 의한 일측 폐환기가 필요하였다. 그러나 폐질환이 동반된 환자나 전신상태가 나쁜 고령의 환자와 같은 고위험군 의 경우는 일측 폐환기나 전신마취 자체에 대한 위험성이 높다. 대상 및 방법: 1997년 12월부터 1998년 7월 까지, 전신상태가 나빠서 전신마취가 위험한 8례의 환자를 대상으로(농흉 6례, 난치성 흉수 1례, 간질성 폐섬 유증 1례) 경막외마취하에 자가호흡을 유지한 상태에서 비디오 흉강경을 이용하여 흉강내 질환의 진단 및 치료를 시행하였다. 결과: 7례에서 성공적으로 비디오 흉강경수술이 시행되었다. 수술 도중 호흡기능이 저하 되어 전신마취로 전환한 경우가 1례 있었으나 개흉술로 전환한 경우는 없었다. 만성 농흉 환자 2례의 경우 에서, 1례는 재발하여 다시 비디오 흉강경 배농술을 시행하였으며 1례는 수술 후 7일째 흉곽성형술을 시행 하였다. 수술시간은 평균 31.8$\pm$15.2분이었으며 수술 후 호흡합병증이 발생한 경우는 없었다. 결론: 경막외마 취하에 비디오 흉강경을 통한 진단 및 치료는 고위험군에서 안전하게 시행될 수 있는 기법이라고 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop video assisted education on bowel preparation for colonoscopy (VEBPC) and use a snartphone to evaluate effects of the VEBPC. Methods: Adult patients who were scheduled for colonoscopy were recruited from a university general hospital and randomly assigned to three groups. Group 1 (n=30) watched the video using a computer set in the endoscope consulting room. Group 2 (n=29) watched it using a smartphone, and group 3, the control group (n=29) received education with existing instructions at the reservation-reception desk. Participants were evaluated on knowledge on taking bowel preparation agents and diet, compliance on taking bowel preparation agents and diet, satisfaction with education, and actual level of bowel preparation. Results: Group 1 and 2 showed significantly (p<.001) higher scores for knowledge, compliance, and satisfaction compared to the control group. However, in post-hoc test analyses there were no significant differences in these variables between group 1 and 2. No significant difference was found in the actual level of bowel preparation among the three groups. Conclusion: Findings from this study show that VEBPC using smartphone is a better option than existing educational methods. However, replication studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the effects of a suction care self video-based debriefing-assisted learning in the fundamentals of nursing practice for nursing students on clinical performance, self-efficacy and problem-solving process. Methods: A nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design study was used and included 97 junior nursing students at P University as participants, 48 of whom were assigned to the experimental group, and 49 of whom were assigned to the control group. The outcome measurements were clinical performance for suction care, self-efficacy, and the problem-solving process. Results: The scores of clinical performance were 23.75 in the experimental group who used the materials and 21.55 in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<.000). Self-efficacy was 4.30 in the experimental group and 4.18 in the control group, which was a statistically significant difference (p=.000), and the pre-to-post differences of self-efficacy was statistically significant as well (p<.001). However, there were no significant differences in the pre-to-post differences of the problem-solving process (p<.802). Conclusions: Self video-based debriefing-assisted learning may be more effective in enhancing clinical performance and self-efficacy than that of conventional practice. Whether self-efficacy will contribute to enhanced learning motivation for nursing students needs further examination.

오늘날 매우 복잡한 비디오와 방송 작동들 속에서, 방송사들은 확실히 방송중이나 온라인에서 멀티스크린 시청자들에게 높은 품질과 저지연을 방송하는데 거듭 어려움을 겪는다. 적응 비트율(ABR) 프로토콜들은 인터넷비디오가 다양한 멀티스크린 장치를 가능하게 해준다. 하지만 비디오 품질은 종종 중요하지 않고 오늘날 대형화면에 방송되고 가치 있는 선형 방송 컨텐츠에서는 받아들일 수 없다는 것이 입증될 것이다. ABR에서 미디어 정보 처리 기술은 서비스 제공자들이 제어를하고 집에 모든 스크린에 선형 비디오 서비스가 관리된 품질을 제공한다. 그리고 그것은 단일화된 IP 비디오 사회기반시설을 가진 큰 대형화면을 포함한다. 새로운 멀티스크린 보조 ABR (MSA-ABR)은 기부 컨텐츠, 가상 속에 온라인 출판 서비스, 집중 클라우드 사회기반시설의 절차를 수행하는 방송시설을 대한 멀티스크린 보조 ABR (MSA-ABR)을 기반으로하는 클라우드를 사용하도록 제안된 관리시스템을 가져다 준다.
