Central lines are indispensable in hospital care. The main complication resulting from their use is central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). CLABSI is one of the most frequent healthcare-associated infections associated with high costs, morbidity, and potential lethality. Recent studies on CLABSI prevention show that a multifaceted approach to improving central line insertion and maintenance practices results in decreased CLABSI rates. The question today, then, is not 'what to do,' but 'how to do it.'

Computed tomography(CT) has enabled early recognition and treatment of focal injuries in patients with head trauma. However, CT has been less beneficial in identifying diffuse brain injury(DBI). The authors have analyzed retrospectively, a series of 132 patients with OBI observed for 2 years from Aug. 1986 to Jul. 1988 to evaluate the significance of the factors affecting outcome. Eighty-three patients were selected as being compatible with moderate and severe diffuse axonal injury(DAI) classified by Gennarelli, defined by coma without a CT lesion that is an obvious cause and coma greater than 24 hr with or without decerebration. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The 38(45.7%) out of 83 patients were found below age of 20, but there was no statistical significance between age distribution and outcome. 2) In case of initial Glasgow coma scale(GCS) of 7 or 8, 32(86.5%) out of 37 patients revealed good outcome, but 18(90%) of 20 patients with a score of 3 or 4 revealed poor outcome(p<0.01). 3) With regard to brain swelling in CT, there was significant statistical difference to outcome(p<0.05). 4) Small hemorrhages on corpus callosum, basal ganglia, basal cistern, peritentorial, lateral ventricle that is characteristic CT findings for DAI were showed 58(70%) out of all cases. It might be concluded that initial GCS, brain swelling and small hemorrhages in CT were significant factors affecting outcome in DAI.

Intracranial meningioma is one of the most easily detectable tumor in the preoperative period with the brain computerized tomographic(CT) scan. Although most of them are of benign nature, they present tendency to invade surrounding brain tissue and to recur in spite of complete surgical removal. Authors analysed the clinical features of 27 cases of histologically verified meningiomas and attempted to study the correlation between CT findings and histological types to predict their clinical invasiveness and aggressiveness. Female was predominated in occurance than male in the ratio of 17:10. Mean age of occurance was 40.5-year-old. The most frequent symptoms and signs were headache, papilledema and visual disturbance in order. The most frequent histological type was meningotheliomatous type(55.6%) which was followed by transitional(18.5%), fibroblastic(18.5%) and angioblastic(7.4%) types. In the finding of the brain CT scan, perifocal brain edema was noticed in nearly almost cases and high density of the tumor mass in the precontrast CT scan was predominated in transitional and fibroblastic types. But, marked perifocal brain edema, irregular tumor margin, loss of homogeneity of the tumor density and marked contrast enhancement, which were considered to be more aggressive and invasive findings, were predominated in the meningotheliomatous and angioblastic types. So, these types seemed to be more aggressive and invasive than other types. Large cystic meningiomas were 14.8% in author's cases.

The case of 17-year-old boy is presented, in whom back pain progressed to paraplegia. A spinal epidural hematoma was removed at surgery with complete recovery. No traumatic or febrile episode was obtainable. The importance of early diagnosis and early spinal decompression is stressed.

Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society 1985;14(4):737-740
The spontaneous subdural hematoma due to dural metastasis is a rare events. It is suggested that disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC) and vascular obstruction due to invasion of the dural vessel play the important factors in the formation of the subdural hematoma in cancer patient. The authors presented 5 cases with a review of the literature.

The idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) represents a heterogenous group of disorder characterized by prolonged eosinophilia of undetectable cause and multiorgan system dysfunction. Bone marrow is the most frequentry involved organ, but the most severe clinicopathologic involvement is heart. The major cause of death in patients with the HES is cardiac dysfunction especially congestive heart failure resulted from endocardial fibrosis and restrictive cardiomyopathy. We have experienced a case of DES with both cardiac and pulmonary involvements. The patient was an 18-month-old infant with poorly controlled lung abscess who complained of fever and productive cough. On the microscopic examination of pleural effusion, eosinophilic infiltration was noted. M-mode echocardiogram showed diffuse thickening of interventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall. On the peripheral blood smear, prolonged eosinophilia was observed. We confirmed this case with bone marrow aspiration which showed eosinophilic hyperplasia.
