Radiation-induced neuropathy is a rare but well recognized clinical entity although peripheral nerves are considered to be relatively resistant to irradiation. We report three patients with radiation-induced lumbosacral plexopathy, whose characteristic clinical and electrophysiological features can be summarized as follows: 1) 55-58 year old women who were previously treated with radiotherapy for uterine cervix carcinoma: 2) the latent period is to 10 from 13 years: 3)predominantly motor involvement with slowly progressive paraparesis, asymmetrical onset and worse in distal muscle group: 4) painless at onset, with variable degree of sensorv changes: 5)decreased or absent knee and ankle jerks :6)axonal damage in electrophysiologic study: 7)frequent myokymic discharges. Myokymic discharges occur in bursts at regular rate of 0.1 to 8 Hz. In myokymic bursts with more spikes, interburst interval is longer but interspike Interval is shorter.

Precise prenatal care and safe childbirth under the guidance of a qualified obstetrician are essential reproductive healthcare services that enhance the survival and wellbeing of mothers and newborns. However, during recent decades many maternity hospitals and clinics in Korea have closed, particularly those in rural areas. In addition, the number of obstetricians providing care for pregnant women is declining. This reduction in obstetric services is a growing political issue in Korea. Several policies and programs have tried to accelerate and expand the provision of essential maternity services, especially in rural areas, but there have been numerous barriers to overcome, including malpractice litigations. Now is the time to discuss the role of current and future government programs in the improvement of obstetric care and, moreover, to develop outlines for progress in underserved areas.

We report a case of non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis after overdose of doxylamine succinate. A 22-year-old woman with reactive depression had an overdose of doxylamine with suicidal intent. She had decreased mental state, confusion, convulsion, vomiting, tachycardia, pupil dilatation, and ocular flutter. Serum creatine phosphokinase concentra-tion was 6,752 IU/L initially, increased to maximum (165,590 IU/L) at the third day, and then rapidly decreased and returned to normal 2 weeks after intoxication. Acute renal failure occurred but was resolved without hemodialysis. Rhabdomyolysis associated with renal failure is a rare but serious complication after doxylamine overdose.
