BACKGROUND/AIMS: Ecabet sodium is used for treating gastric ulcers and gastritis. It exhibits a bactericidal effect against Helicobacter pylori by inhibiting bacterial urease activity. Thus, ecabet sodium has been suggested to improve the efficacy of the H. pylori eradication in patients with peptic ulcers. The aim of this study was to compare the H. pylori eradication rate of lansoprazole-based triple therapy versus lansoprazole-based triple therapy plus ecabet sodium. METHODS: The subjects consisted of 363 H. pylori-positive patients who had undergone eradication therapy from February 2007 to February 2010. In total, 363 patients with H. pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease or symptomatic erosive gastritis received LAC (lansprazole 30 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1.0 g b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d.) or LACE (lansoprazole 30 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1.0 g b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d., ecabet sodium 1 g b.i.d.) for 1 week. Successful eradication was defined as a negative 13Curea breath test 4-5 weeks after treatment completion. RESULTS: H. pylori eradication rates were 81.4% (166/204) in the LAC group and 86.2% (137/159) in the LACE group (p = 0.159). No significant difference in eradication was observed. No significant difference was observed in the side effects experienced by the patients in the two treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that adding ecabet sodium did not improve the H. pylori eradication rate significantly in standard lansoprazole-based triple therapy for H. pylori.

Objective:
To assess the efficacy and safety of posterior facetectomy with fusion using pedicle screw (PF using FPS) for severe cervical foraminal stenosis of parallel shape.
Methods:
Patients (n=8) with 1- or 2-level parallel-shaped cervical foraminal stenosis who underwent posterior facetectomy with fusion using cervical pedicle screw between March 2012 and August 2016 were enrolled. Patients were followed up immediately postoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. We assessed arm and neck pains and clinical outcomes using a numeric rating scale (NRS) and neck disability index (NDI). We determined cervical Cobb's and segmental angles by radiological evaluations. We identified screw breech as a neurovascular complication.
Results:
Neck and arm pains were significantly reduced postoperatively (neck visual analog scale [VAS]: 4.9±3.7 [preoperative] to 0.4±1.1 [final follow-up]; arm VAS: 9.0±0.8 to 0.4±1.1). Cobb's angle for cervical sagittal alignment improved from 11.1±8.4 to 17.0±5.9. Segmental angle of index surgery was maintained (3.4±7.0–4.9±5.6). NDI was also remained from 36.1±26.3 to 13.8±8.4. There are no injuries to the vertebral arteries and neural tissues because of screw insertion.
Conclusion
PF using FPS is a practical treatment option for parallel-shaped cervical foraminal stenosis.

Influenza A virus, (H1N1 Subtype), was identified as the cause of outbreaks of febrile respiratory infection in Mexico, the US, Canada and elsewhere during the spring of 2009. In Korea, a novel virus infection showing many variable complications was also pandemic. We report two cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum, complicating viral pneumonia, caused by Influenza A virus, (H1N1 Subtype).

A 37-year-old male patient presented with a fever, chills, and abdominal pain. The patient was diagnosed with Typhoid fever based on blood culture, but did not clinically respond to standard antibiotic (Ceftriaxone) therapy. On day 9, leptospira serology was positive and doxycycline was added to the treatment strategy. With combination therapy, the patient recovered from the infection. In most cases, similar clinical presentations make the diagnosis of concurrent infections of febrile diseases difficult, and serious complications can develop as a consequence of delayed treatment. As with this case, if the patient initially has serious a medical condition caused by complications, and does not clinically respond to initial standard antibiotics therapy or has an unusual course of disease, concurrent infection must be considered.

Amiodarone is one of the most commonly prescribed antiarrhythmic drug for almost all atrial or ventricular arrythmias. Amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity (APT) was first described in 1980 and has potentially serious side effects that are believed to develop in 5% of patients. In general, APT occurs only when high amiodarone doses are used for a long time. However, during short-term therapy of amiodarone, APT is rarely reported. In this report, we describe a case of amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity after a short course of amiodarone therapy for atrial fibrillation.

A 46-year-old diabetic woman visited our hospital with generalized edema and high blood pressure. An appropriately sized noninvasive blood pressure cuff was placed on her right arm above the elbow to measure blood pressure. While we were checking her blood pressure, we noticed small red petechial spots distal to the cuff involving her entire right forearm. Her blood pressure was 170/96 mmHg. The laboratory findings showed no abnormality of anticoagulation. The rest of the patient's extremities were not affected. The petechiae on the right arm resolved spontaneously after ten days. The most likely explanation for these petechiae is acute dermal capillaryrupture, which is called the Rumpel- Leede phenomenon. Acute dermal capillary rupture appears as petechiae in an area following application of vascular constriction such as application of tourniquet to draw blood specimen or use of blood pressure cuff due to capillary fragility or abnormal platelets in numbers or in function. This situation has been reported previously in the literature as the Rumpel-Leede phenomenon in association with prolonged noninvasive BP monitoring. In the patient described herein, increased venous pressure from blood pressure measurement and capillary fragility associated with diabetes mellitus may have increased the risk of acute dermal capillary rupture.

In May 2023, the Committee of Clinical Practice Guidelines of the Korean Diabetes Association published the revised clinical practice guidelines for Korean adults with diabetes and prediabetes. We incorporated the latest clinical research findings through a comprehensive systematic literature review and applied them in a manner suitable for the Korean population. These guidelines are designed for all healthcare providers nationwide, including physicians, diabetes experts, and certified diabetes educators who manage patients with diabetes or individuals at risk of developing diabetes. Based on recent changes in international guidelines and the results of a Korean epidemiological study, the recommended age for diabetes screening has been lowered. In collaboration with the relevant Korean medical societies, recently revised guidelines for managing hypertension and dyslipidemia in patients with diabetes have been incorporated into this guideline. An abridgment containing practical information on patient education and systematic management in the clinic was published separately.
