OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical significance of residual amniotic fluid volume, as measured by the amniotic fluid index(AFI), on the prediction of latency period and perinatal outcomes in patients with preterm premature rupture of the membranes(PPROM). METHODS: Study population consisted of 103 singleton pregnancies with PPROM between 24 and 34 weeks' gestation. Amniotic fluid index was determined using transabdominal ultrasound at admission. Latency period was defined as time interval in hours between admission and delivery. All medical records of mothers and neonates were reviewed. Spearman's rho rank correlation, receiver-operator characteristic(ROC) curve analysis, survival analysis and Cox's proportional hazard model were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant correlation between latency period and AFI at admission. ROC curve analysis showed that AFI at admission had a significant predictive value in the prediction of latency period < 48 hours. Survival analysis demonstrated that AFI < 5.0 was strongly associated with the likelihood of shorter latency period, Cox's proportional hazard model indicated that AFI < 5.0 was a significant independent predictor for the occurrence of latency period < 48 hours even after adjustment of other independent variables. The patients with AFI <5.0 had a higher rate of cesarean section due to fetal distress than those with AFI > 5.0 but the incidence of chorioamnionitis was not significantly different between two groups. Comparing the perinatal mortality and neonatal morbidity including infectious morbidity between the neonates born to mothers with AFI <5.0 and those with AFI > 5.0, there was no significance after adjustment of gestational age at birth. CONCLUSION: AFI at admission has a significant correlation with latency period and predictive value in prediction of latency period in the patients with PPROM. AFI <5.0 is a independent predictor for the shorter latency period.

PURPOSE: Development of reconstruction plastic surgery for burn treatment and application SRNT (skin rehabilitation nursing therapy) have promoted improvement of dysmorphic feature and functional recovery. In case of deeper and extensive burn, however, treatment of burn scar after plastic surgery and SRNT may be unsatisfactory to burn patients. Especially burn patients having dysmorphic feature on exposed area like face suffer from psychological distress like depression, anxiety, guiltyfeeling, feeling of worthlessness, psychicinertia. Rehabili-Medical Makeup have performed congenital patient having hemangioma and vitiligo using covermark, and this is one of three technical effect of specialized skin rehabilitation nurses. Application of Rehabili-Medical Makeup covers burn scar afraid of exposure and resolves psychological distress, which makes burn patients gain confidence in themselves and helps their return to society. METHODS: Subjects of one's study are 10 burn patients that received SRNT from january 2007 to january 2011 and wanted Rehabili-Medical Makeup. We performed Rehabili-Medical Makeup using covermark foundation. practiced stress measuring test (MEDICORE SA-3000P, NIPRO Cocoro Stress Meter(R)) measured satisfaction (skin color, texture, duration, effectiveness and participation in education) using questionnaire. RESULTS: In stress measureing test after Rehabili-Medical Makeup patients maintained physiological balance. Satisfaction questionnaire show that patients are satisfied with every item. CONCLUSION: Rehabili-Medical Makeup resolves psychological distress and helps their return to society, which is final goal of rehabilitation. Hereafter we suggest to apply and expand education for managing patient's burn scar for themselves.

We report a patient with an isolated cerebellar nodulus infarction who presented with periodic alternating nystagmus (PAN), perverted head-shaking nystagmus (pHSN), and loss of tilt suppression of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). Several days after the initial symptoms resolved, the patient also presented with purely vestibular syndrome with vertigo, spontaneous horizontal nystagmus without the usual signs of cerebellar dysfunction. The chain of those symptoms were ascribed to ischemia of the cerebellar nodulus.

PURPOSE: We wanted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 16-slice MDCT arthrography (CTA) for glenoid labral and rotator cuff tears of the shoulder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We enrolled forty-five patients who underwent arthroscopy after CTA for pain or instability of the shoulder joint. The CTA images were analyzed for the existence, sites and types of glenoid labral tears and the presence and severity of rotator cuff tears. We determined the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CTA for detecting glenoid labral and rotator cuff tears on the basis of the arthroscopy findings. RESULTS: At arthroscopy, there were 33 SLAP lesions (9 type I, 23 type II and 1 type III), 6 Bankart lesions and 31 rotator cuff lesions (21 supraspinatus, 9 infraspinatus and 1 subscapularis). On CTA, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for detecting 24 SLAP lesions, excluding the type I lesions, were 83%, 100% and 91%, the total rotator cuff tears were 90%, 100% and 98%, the full thickness supraspinatus tendon tears were 100%, 94% and 96%, and the partial thickness supraspinatus tendon tears were 29%, 100% and 89%, respectively. CONCLUSION: 16-slice MDCT arthrography has high accuracy for the diagnosis of abnormality of the glenoid labrum or rotator cuff tears and it can be a useful alternative to MRI or US.
