Purpose: This study identified words closely associated with the keyword "dietary supplement" (DS) using big data in Korean social media and investigated consumer perceptions and trends related to DSs before (2019) and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic (2021). Methods: A total of 37,313 keywords were found for the 2019 period, and 35,336 keywords were found for the 2021 period using blogs and cafes on Daum and Naver. Results were derived by text mining, semantic networking, network visualization analysis, and sentiment analysis. Results: The DS-related keywords that frequently appeared before and after COVID-19 were "recommend", "vitamin", "health", "children", "multiple", and "lactobacillus". "Calcium", "lutein", "skin", and "immunity" also had high frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) values. These keywords imply a keen interest in DSs among Korean consumers. Big data results also reflected social phenomena related to DSs; for example, "baby" and "pregnant woman" had lower TD-IDF values after the pandemic, suggesting lower marriage and birth rates but higher values for "joint", indicating reduced physical activity. A network centered on vitamins and health care was produced by semantic network analysis in 2019. In 2021, values were highest for deficiency and need, indicating that individuals were searching for DSs after the COVID-19 pandemic due to a lack an awareness of the need for adequate nutrient intake. Before the pandemic, DSs and vitamins were associated with healthcare and life cycle-related topics, such as pregnancy, but after the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer interests changed to disease prevention and treatment. Conclusion: This study provides meaningful clues regarding consumer perceptions and trends related to DSs before and after the COVID-19 pandemic and fundamental data on the effect of the pandemic on consumer interest in dietary supplements.

Background: Heartworm infection in dogs is caused by Dirofilaria immitis and common in shelter animals and outdoors dogs. Caval syndrome can develop with severe infection and physical heartworm removal is essential with heartworm burdens. In this study, we used an improved transvenous heartworm extraction brush, which was expected to cause less cardiovascular damage and allow easier manipulation. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate efficacy of this improved transvenous heartworm extraction brush. Methods: The brush was designed to improve upon the limitations of the previous brush-type devices. The brush was made of a polyvinyl chloride tube and threads of polyamides or polyglyconates. Metal material was inserted at the front tip for easy visualization under fluoroscopy. The eight dogs diagnosed with caval syndrome with large numbers of heartworms and pulmonary hypertension were used in this study. The removal procedure began with the dissection of the subcutaneous tissue around the right jugular vein. The device was inserted through the jugular vein. After insertion, the tube was rotated to catch the heartworms and extracted with the heartworms hanging on the threads. The procedure was repeated several times. Lastly, jugular vein and skin sutures were made. Adulticidal therapy was administered after heartworm removal. Results: The mean number of removed heartworms was 10.5 ± 4.24 and mean number of remaining heartworms was 0.63 ± 1.06. Total procedure time was 72.63 ± 51.36. Except for three cases, heartworms were not detected on ultrasonography after the procedure. No procedure-related side effects were observed within the 1- to 2-mon. Conclusions: An improved transvenous heartworm extraction brush is efficient for heartworm removal in dogs with caval syndrome.

PURPOSE. This study aimed to analyze factors influencing the success and failure of implant prostheses and to estimate the lifespan of prostheses using standardized evaluation criteria. An online survey platform was utilized to efficiently gather large samples from multiple institutions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. During the one-year period, patients visiting 16 institutions were assessed using standardized evaluation criteria (KAP criteria). Data from these institutions were collected through an online platform, and various statistical analyses were conducted. Risk factors were assessed using both the Cox proportional hazard model and Cox regression analysis. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier analysis and nomogram, and lifespan prediction was performed using principal component analysis. RESULTS. The number of patients involved in this study was 485, with a total of 841 prostheses evaluated. The median survival was estimated to be 16 years with a 95% confidence interval. Factors found to be significantly associated with implant prosthesis failure, characterized by higher hazard ratios, included the 'type of clinic', 'type of antagonist', and 'plaque index'. The lifespan of implant prostheses that did not fail was estimated to exceed the projected lifespan by approximately 1.34 years. CONCLUSION. To ensure the success of implant prostheses, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial. The estimated lifespan of implant prostheses is often underestimated by approximately 1.34 years. Furthermore, standardized form, online platform, and visualization tool, such as nomogram, can be effectively utilized in future follow-up studies.

Objective: To compare the clinical utility of contrast-enhanced color Doppler US in the differentiation of retinal detachment (RD) from vitreous membrane (VM) with that of various conventional US modalities, and to analyze the enhancement patterns in cases showing an enhancement effect. Materials and Methods: In 32 eyes examined over a recent two-year period, RD (n=14) and VM (n=18) were confirmed by surgery (n=28) or clinical follow-up (n=4). In all cases, gray-scale, color Doppler, and power Doppler US were performed prior to contrast injection, and after the intravenous injection of Levovist (Schering, Berlin) by hand for 30 seconds at a dose of 2.5 g and a concentration of 300 mg/mL via an antecubital vein, contrast-enhanced color Doppler US was performed. At Doppler US, the diagnostic criterion for RD and VM was whether or not color signals were visualized in membranous structures. Results: Diagnostic accuracy was 78% at gray-scale US, 81% at color Doppler US, 59% at power Doppler US, and 97% at contrast-enhanced color Doppler US. The sensitivity of color Doppler US to color signals in RD increased from 57% to 93% after contrast enhancement. The enhancement patterns observed were signal accentuation (n=3), signal extension (n=2), signal addition (n=3), and new signal visualization (n=5). Conclusion: Contrast-enhanced color Doppler US was the most accurate US modality for differentiating RD from VM, showing a significantly increased signal detection rate in RD.

현재 미국, 호주, 북유럽 등지의 해외 조경실무에서 BIM의 필요성에 대한 자각과 함께 전문적 연구가 수행되고 있으며, 관련 단체에서도 조직적 활동을 펼침으로써 BIM을 활용한 조경 프로젝트들이 증가하는 추세다. 그러나 아직 국내 조경분야에서는 BIM 도입이 이루어지지 않고 있으므로, 본 연구에서는 BIM을 활용한 조경 프로젝트 사례를 조사, 분석하여 BIM 도입에 따른 효과와 활용방법을 논하고자 했다. 이를 위해 세 가지 BIM 도입효과인 설계업무의 효율성 향상, 협업 환경의 마련, 지형설계의 형태 구현을 보여주는 조경 프로젝트들을 선정하고, 이들을 대상으로 조경정보 구축, 3D 모델링 제작, 상호운용성 확보, BIM 모델의 시각적 활용이라는 네 가지 측면에서 BIM의 활용방법을 살펴보았다. 첫째, 조경정보 구축의 측면에서 사례들을 살펴본 결과, 시설물과 수목 등 상세한 조경요소들로부터 기반시설 등 광범위한 건설정보들이 3D 라이브러리나 2D CAD 형식으로 구축되었다. 둘째, 3D 모델링 제작을 살펴보면 간단한 지형과 수목을 포함한 조경공간을 Revit으로 모델링하거나, 정교하고 복잡한 지형을 Maya와 같은 전문적 3D 모델링 도구로 모델링했다. 그리고 통합모델은 분야별 모델을 제작하여 주기적으로 교환, 검토하고, 최종적으로 이들을 통합하는 방식으로 제작되었다. 셋째, 분야간 데이터의 상호운용성은 파일 포맷의 단일화, 상이한 포맷의 변환, 또는 정보 표준의 준수를 통해 이루어졌고, 이를 토대로 건설정보를 공유하여 협업을 도모했다. 넷째, 3D 모델을 시각화함으로써 참여자들간의 의견조율, 설계안의 인허가, 대중 홍보가 이루어졌다. 사례분석을 통해 BIM은 디자인 도구라기보다 설계업무의 효율성을 높이고, 분야간 협업을 도모하는 프로세스임을 알 수 있었고, 특히 조경가들이 BIM을 활용한 통합 프로젝트에서 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있음을 확인했다. 따라서 그간 건설분야에서 BIM으로의 전환을 통해 많은 이익과 기회를 누렸듯이 조경분야에서도 적극적으로 BIM을 도입해야 할 것이다.
