The authors analyzed ultrasonographically the total 45 cases of thyroid disease verified by historicaldiagnosis, functional diagnosis, and morphological diagnosis at the Departement of Radiology, Busan NationalUniversity hospital from June to Sept. 1982. The resuls obtained were as follows; 1. In the sex distributionfemale was 38 cases (84.4%), and male 7 cases (15.6%). 2. Among the total 4 cases thyroid adenoma was 24 cases(53.3%), nodular hyperplasia 8 cases (17.7%), thyroid carcinoma 7 cases (15.6%), diffuse hyperplasia 3 cases(6.7%), Hanshimoto's thyroiditis 1 cases (2.2%), subacute thyroiditis 1 cases(2.2%), tuberculous thyroiditis 1cases(2.2%) in orders. 3. On ultrasonogram, total 24 cases of thyroid adenoma showed a single nodule in 24 cases(100.0%), smooth outer margin in 23 cases (95.8%), capsular echo in 23 cases (95.8%), pure cystic nodule in 4cases (16.7%), and increased echogenicity in 17 cases (85.0%) among the 20 cases excluded the pure cystic nodules.4. Total 7 cases of thyroid carcinoma showed no capsular echo in 4 cases (57.1%), irregular outer margine in 4cases(57.1%), no pure cytic nodule in all cases, and enlargement of metastatic lymphnode in 4 cases (57.1%). 5.Total 8 cases of nodular hyperplasia showed enlargement of thyroid gland and multiple nodule in 8 cases (100.0%),and increased echogenicity in 7 cases (87.5%). 6. Total 3 cases of diffuse hyperplasia showed enlargement ofthyroid gland and increased echogenicity in 3 cases (100.0%). 7. Total 3 cases of thyroiditis showed decreasedechogenicity in 3 cases (100.0%) and enlargement of thyroid gland in 2 cases (66.7%). 8. The cold area visualizedon radionuclide scan could be differentiated from a solid mass and cystic one by utrasonogram.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to investigate the trends on the induced abortion in Korea using social big-data and confirm whether there was time series trends and seasonal characteristics in induced abortion. METHODS: From October 1, 2007 to October 24, 2016, we used Naver's data lab query, and the search word was ‘induced abortion’ in Korean. The average trend of each year was analyzed and the seasonality was analyzed using the cosinor model. RESULTS: There was no significant changes in search volume of abortion during that period. Monthly search volume was the highest in May followed by the order of June and April. On the other hand, the lowest month was December followed by the order of January, and September. The cosinor analysis showed statistically significant seasonal variations (amplitude, 4.46; confidence interval, 1.46–7.47; p<0.0036). The search volume for induced abortion gradually increased to the lowest point at the end of November and was the highest at the end of May and declined again from June. CONCLUSION: There has been no significant changes in induced abortion for the past nine years, and seasonal changes in induced abortion have been identified. Therefore, considering the seasonality of the intervention program for the prevention of induced abortion, it will be effective to concentrate on the induced abortion from March to May.
