Purpose: This study aimed to understand and explore the work experiences of Generation Y nurses in hospital organizations. Methods: Participants were nine nurses with generation Y working in the hospital. Data were collected through individual interviews from December 2, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The transcripts were coded and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: A total of 33 formulated meanings were derived from the meaningful 50 statements of nine study participants, and then categorized them into 12 themes with a collection of five theme clusters. Conclusion This study found that Generation Y nurses experienced role confusion and physical and mental burden as they caught in the middle in other generations. Even they were wondering whether to continue working as a nurse, which seems that it is crucial to establish a recognition and compensation system to maintain Generation Y nurses in the field. In addition, Generation Y nurses have been found to endure difficult hospital work and demonstrate patience even when working alone, while also deriving strength from their colleagues. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a program for intergenerational harmony among nurses.

Ketotifen, a benzocycloheptathiophene, has an orally effective antiallergic as well as antihistaminic properties. In pervious studies, Ketotifen has shown encouraging results on patient with allergic rhinitis, either perennial or seasonal. 39 patients with allergic rhinitis had been treated with Ketotifen 1 mg twice daily for 8 weeks. And we obtained following results. 1) The efficacy rate in sneezing attack was 73.5%, in nasal discharge 71%, in nasal obstruction 58%. 2) Some improvements in at least one of three-major symptoms were noted within 1 week in 30.7%, within 2 weeks in 55.8%, within 3 weeks in 66.7%, within 8 weeks in 87.2%. 3) Physical findings such as colour, swelling of turbinate, character of rhinorrhea were not improved significantly. 4) Side effect was observed only in one patient with abdominal pain and diarrhea, which was subsided after interruption of administration. These results suggested that Ketotifen was effective in treatment of allergic rhinitis.

A prominent crista terminalis is a normal anatomic variant which consist of thick muscular bridge within the right atrium. However, it could be often misdiagnosed with an abnormal mass on the transthoracic echocardiography. The case report presented here, describe the findings of transthoracic echocardiography that suggested a right atrial mass in patients with pulmonary embolism. However, subsequent transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging differentiated a true right atrial mass from a prominent crista terminalis.

BACKGROUND: Recovery from anesthesia, postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting are very important after pediatric tonsillectomy surgery. We compared the effects of supplemented opioids (remifentanil, meperidine) combined with sevoflurane on the recovery and side effects. METHODS: Patients were randomized to receive meperidine (group M, n = 41) or remifentanil (group R, n = 43). Group R received a bolus dose of normal saline, and group M 1 mg/kg of meperidine. A continuous infusion of normal saline was followed in the group M, and remifentanil 0.25micro/kg/min in the group R. In all patients, signs of inadequate anesthesia were treated with an increase of sevoflurane concentration. Intraoperative hemodynamics, recovery profiles, and side effects were assessed. RESULTS: Supplemented remifentanil resulted in significantly lower systolic blood pressure and heart rate during operation (P < 0.05). The emergence from anesthesia was not different between groups. Although the patients in the group R had early recovery characteristics at recovery room, time to discharge at recovery room was longer in the group R than in the group M (P < 0.05). The incidence of retching and vomiting was not different between groups. Supplemented meperidine resulted in less analgesic requirements than the other group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Supplemented remifentanil was associated with hemodynamic stability, however it provided later discharge time at recovery room. Postoperative analgesic requirements were reduced by the supplemented meperidine without increasing postoperative nausea, vomiting.

Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS) is a rare skeletal dysplasia that is characterized by acroosteolysis of the distal phalanges, distinctive craniofacial and skull changes, dental abnormalities and generalized osteoporosis. The clinical and radiologic characteristics are variable and these characteristics progress with age. This syndrome shows autosomal dominant inheritance with sporadic cases. The genetic defects or molecular pathogenesis of HCS are still unknown. We experienced a case of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome in a 20-year-old man who had generalized osteoporosis with multiple non-traumatic spine compression fractures. He had acroosteolysis of the hands and feet, wormian bones in the skull, facial dysmorphism (mid-facial flattening, micrognathia and bushy eyebrows), a high arched palate, malocclusion and short dental alveolar processes. HCS was diagnosed based on the clinical and radiologic evidence. For the differential diagnosis, we excluded the other possible causes of the acroosteolysis and wormian bones, including hyperparathyroidism, osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphatemia and mandibuloacral dysplasia. The specific treatment of HCS is unknown, but case reports with bisphosphonate treatment have been reported.
