Although moyamoya disease is a clinical entity of unknown cause, considerable evidences suggest that the disease has genetic origins. The disease displays regional and racial differences. Occurrence of the disease within a family suggests that moyamoya disease may have a genetic basis. Familial moyamoya disease involving father and a son is presented and literatures are also reviewed.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with dietary attitudes and dietary self-efficacy of juvenile delinquents. Out of 110 questionnaires distributed to the juvenile detention home students in Daegu, and 150 questionnaires distributed to the juvenile detention home students in Anyang, 210 were analyzed (80.7% analysis rate). These data were analyzed by SPSS program. The results are summarized as follows. Almost all parents' educational levels showed 'graduation of middle school', and only 43.8% of the juvenile detention students were living with parents. In case of incoming status, average income per month was 2,000,000 won, which was lower than normal one. Diet attitude score was higher in boy students than girl students (p < 0.05). There was a higher score of diet attitude in higher educational levels of father. The average score of dietary self-efficacy was 2.51 +/- 0.86. This value was lower than the normal juvenile. There was a higher diet attitude score in the higher dietary self-efficacy score (p < 0.001). Therefore, proper nutrition education is required to improve their dietary self-efficacy. The results of this study could be useful data to plan and develop nutritional education programs of juvenile delinquents

5.Paternal adaptation and role attainment: A concept analysis
Philippine Journal of Nursing 2023;93(2):78-85
Becoming a parent is a significant life transition accompanied by various experiences and emotions that may be both fulfilling and
rewarding, as well as challenging and stressful for both the mother and father. Mercer's theory of becoming a mother provides a
framework for mothers' adaptation and role attainment throughout the perinatal period. However, a theoretical gap exists
surrounding fathers' adaptability and role attainment, as fathers are frequently forgotten, and their experiences are overlooked.
Although becoming a father can be a rewarding or satisfying experience that results in positive changes in men's lives, some
fathers experience concerns and contradictions as a result of a shift in their roles, responsibilities, and social expectations, which
result in maladaptation and mental health challenges. Given the significance of fathers in the family, community, and society, this
concept analysis aimed to bridge the gap by proposing a theory that will guide fathers in successfully adapting to and reaching a
solid role identity. The concept analysis methodology from Walker and Avant (2011) was utilized to define the concept of paternal
adaptation and role attainment, attributes, antecedents, consequences, cases, and empirical referents. This paper concludes that
perinatal fathers' adaptability and role attainment improve psycho-emotional, cognitive, relational, and behavioral outcomes,
improving paternal-maternal-infant quality of life and developmental products when influenced by positive personal resources,
adequate family, friends support, and community resources. Given the implications of paternal maladaptation on the family, a
theoretical framework for fathers is crucial. Hence, the theory of paternal adaptation and role attainment is proposed.

7.A Case of Brachyonychia Showing Typical Autosomal Dominant Pattern of Inheritance.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 2002;40(7):855-856
Brachyonychia or racquet nail is a condition that the width of the nail plate is greater than the length. It may occur in isolation or in association with shortening of the terminal phalanx. Racquet nail is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait due to premature obliteration of the epiphyseal line. All the fingers may rarely be involved. We describe one family of brachyonychia showing typical autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, in which the father had short nails on almost all fingers and his 14-year-old son showed bilateral racquet thumb.

Journal of the Korean Neurological Association 2002;20(5):568-570
Evans myopathy is a type of malignant hyperthermia showing characteristic distribution of myopathic changes. We present two cases of Evans myopathy, father and his son in a family. Five members of this family expired during ane sthesia and surgery and two of these cases were reported as the malignant hyperthermia. The muscle pathology shows moth-eaten appearance with or without unstained cores in NADH-TR stain and its difference between the father and his son is suggestive of rather progressive myopathy than static one. s
