4.Intensive Care Unit Delirium.
Korean Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2015;30(2):63-72
Delirium is described as a manifestation of acute brain injury and recognized as one of the most common complications in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Although the causes of delirium vary widely among patients, delirium increases the risk of longer ICU and hospital length of stay, death, cost of care, and post-ICU cognitive impairment. Prevention and early detection are therefore crucial. However, the clinical approach toward delirium is not sufficiently aggressive, despite the condition's high incidence and prevalence in the ICU setting. While the underlying pathophysiology of delirium is not fully understood, many risk factors have been suggested. As a way to improve delirium-related clinical outcome, high-risk patients can be identified. A valid and reliable bedside screening tool is also needed to detect the symptoms of delirium early. Delirium is commonly treated with medications, and haloperidol and atypical antipsychotics are commonly used as standard treatment options for ICU patients although their efficacy and safety have not been established. The approaches for the treatment of delirium should focus on identifying the underlying causes and reducing modifiable risk factors to promote early mobilization.

7.Clinical Study and Therapeutic Experience in Tinea Versicolor ( 3 ).
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1995;33(2):280-286
BACKGROUND: Tinea versicolor may be treated by topical oroal antifungal drugs. OBJECTIVE: Ihe objertive of this study was to evaluate the their, peutic effect and safety of oral itraconazole(100-200mg/day), cloconazole cream, 20% sodium chiosulfate solution, sulconazole cream and 2% ketoconazole shampoo in Tinea versicolor. METHODS: Forty patients with Tinea versicolor were studys clinically and treated in five groups, with oral itraconazxale(100-200mg/day), cloconazole crean 20% sodium thiosulfate solution, sulconazole cream and 2% ketoconazole shampoo, from JuIIy 1991 to June, 1994. The writers also compared the results with the writers previous similar studies in 1986, 1990. RESULTS: The average age was 29.9 years, the oldest patient were 52 year-old and the youngest patient was a 14 year-old. The ratio of male to female a 1.2: 1. The distributions of lesions was most common in the axilla(26.9%), and the other sitsuere the anterior chest(19.2%), the back(17.3%), the neck(15.4%), the upper extremites(9.6%) the abdomen(7.7%) and the lower extremites(3.9%), in order. The incidence of hyperpigrietted lesions was 76.8% and of hypopigmented lesions was 23.2%. The average duration of treatment until cure was 3.00+0.55 weeks in the oral itraconaxile treated group, 3.31+1.18 weeks in the cloconazole cream group, 3. 25+1.03 weeks in the 20%, sodium thiosulfate solution group 3.45+0.52 weeks in the sulconazole cream group and 3.40+0.33 weeks in the 2% ketoconazole shapen group. Mere were no statistically significant differences of therapeutic efficacy in each the five groups(p>0.05). Compared with the study in 1990, the average age was higher from 5.7 to 29.9 years, and the male to female ratio was slightly less, showing a relative increase in male incidence. But, there was no statistical difference in therapeutic efficacy(p>0.05). CONCLUSION: This study was shown that the above five theraieric regimens can be used safely and simply, according to patients preferences.

8.A STUDY ON THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE THREE COMMONLY USED DIE SPACING MATERIALS.
The Journal of Korean Academy of Prosthodontics 1999;37(5):640-650
As an optimal quality of the restorations, there should be a least amount of seating discrepancy between the casting and abutment teeth. However, high viscosity of the cementing medium and its resulting thickness ay prevent complete seating of the restoration. The use of die spacing material provides adequate internal relief for the cementing medium. The purpose of this study is to compare the thickness of three commonly used die spacing materials. Materials and Methods : Stone plates were fabricated and divided into 12 sections to be painted with die spacers. Tru-Fit, Whip-Mix and Belle de St. Claire die spacer which are commonly used in dental practice were tested in this study. Each die spacers were painted layer by layer according to the manufacturer's recommendation. The average thickness of each die spacers were measured with light microscope(x100) and compared between them. Results and Conclusions: A silver-colored Tru-Fit die spacer has the lowest value of thickness without statistical significance comparing with a gold-colored Tru-Fit die spacer and a gray layer of Whip-Mix die spacer has the highest value of thickness without any statistical significance comparing with Belle de St. Claire die spacer. Three and four layers of Tru-Fit die spacer and two layers of Whip-Mix and Belle de St. Claire die spacers seem to be in the acceptable range of thickness of 25 to 45micrometer for optimal seating of the restorations. The standard experimental design and method should be further evaluated for more consistent and objective results.

9.CT Findings of Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1995;32(5):717-723
PURPOSE: We studied CT findings of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma that manifestated varied clinical and radiologic characteristics. MATERIALS & METHODS: We studied presenting radiographic patterns and their characteristics and secondary findings of histologically proven 30 cases of bronchioloalveolar carcinomas on chest CT scan. RESULTS: Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma appeared radiologically as a solitary nodule(19 cases), consolidation (7 cases), and multinodules(4 cases). A solitary nodular type shows irregular or spiculated borders, peripheral or subpleural location, heterogenous density, pleural tags, pseudocavitation, and sometimes rim-enhancement of mass. A consolidation type shows air-brochogram, pseudocavitation and CT anglogram within homogenous low attenuated consolidated lung. Hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy as secondary findings of bronchioloalveolar carcioma appeared frequently(43.3%). Even in a solitary nodular form, hilar & mediastinal lymphadenopathy was noted in 36.8% and follow-up study in 6 cases showed lung-to-lung metastasis with 14.7 months in mean metastasis duration. CONCLUSION: It is difficulty in diagnosis of bronchioloalveolar carcioma with clinical or plain radiographic features alone because of theis variability. We found that CT scan can help the diagnosis of this tumor. We also found out that a solitary form of bronchioloalveolar carcioma as well as diffuse form does not have a good prognosis.
