Purpose: Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) has reduced errors by detecting and managing threats and errors of flight deck crew in the cockpit during normal flight operations. Airlines can understand the countermeasures and competencies of the crew and the success of error management. This paper introduces the advantages of LOSA and how LOSA data collection can be enhanced for the safety of flight operations. Methods: It analyzed the components of data collection tool in the International Civil Aviation Organization Doc 9803, LOSA manual to find out the deficiencies for enhancement. Results: Five suggestions are proposed in this study, codes for positive activities and the development of a form, the development of proactive strategies that predict threats in advance and manage the threats and management of errors, to describe the coding and narrative for successful briefings that manage threats and errors and codes for positive culture are required for successful LOSA data collection flight operations. Conclusion Safety Management System, Threat and Error Management, LOSA, and other conventional safety tools manage safety based on risk or failure, so if we change the paradigm, we can train more safety-resilient pilots. The tragic outcomes such as accidents or incidents have the problem of low occurrence probability, but if we supplement and utilize LOSA data of normal flights, we can prevent accidents or nearaccidents in advance.

Raeder's syndrome, or Raeder's paratrigeminal syndrome, is a painful Horner's syndrome characterized by unilateral head pain, oculosympathetic paralysis (miosis, ptosis) and anhydrosis over the forehead with otherwise normal facial sweating. We report two cases of Raeder's syndrome whose cause had not been found despite of intensive investigation and one case associated with nasopharyngeal tumor. The first case had a headache, miosis, ptosis but had not cranial nerve palsy. The second case had a unilateral facial headache, oculosympathetic paralysis, aoydrosis of forehead and sensory change in the ipsilateral ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. The third case had a headache, miosis, ptosis, anhydrosis of forehead and sensory change in the whole territory of the trigeminal nerve.

Lacune is small infarct located in the deeper part of the brain and developed by occlusion of small branch of the large cerebral arteries. It occupies 10-30% of infarction in western countries but 53.1% in our study. We investigated 181 cases of lacunar infarction confirmed by clinical features and neuroimaging study. We analyzed lacunar stroke into 13 groups of symdrome based on the clinical features. The frequent lacunar syndromes were pure motor stroke (35.4%), sensori-motor stroke (26.5%), ataxic hemiparesis (11.6%), and pure sensory stroke (6.1%). The frequent sites for lacune were pons (25.4%), corona radiata (24.9%), and thalamus (18.2%). The major contributing risk factors were hypertension (65.8%) and diabetes (19.3%). The incidence of multiple lacune was 67.4%. The determining factor for clinical presentation of lacune was not the size of lesion but the location of lesion.

OBJECTIVE : We investigated the relationship between the severity of the disease and the abnormality of some ocular movements in parkinson's disease. BACKGROUND: Disorders of eye movements have been described in diseases of the basal ganglia for over a century and ocular motor deficits of the saccadic and pursuit system have been reported in parkinsonian patients. METHOD : We studied the electro-oculography of the eye tracking and saccadic movement in 26 patients (11 males, 15 females) with Parkinson's disease. The severity of the disease was divided into two groups by Hoehn & Yahr(H-Y) staging, H-Y stage 1, 2(group A) and H-Y stage 3, 4 (Group B). Some patients antiparkinsonian drugs of L-dopa, dopamine agonist and anticholinergics. RESULT : The velocity of smooth pursuit and the velocity and latency of saccade were calculated and compared between two groups. Eye tracking test revealed decreased pursuit velocity leading to catch-up saccades, but normal phase relationship between eye and target movement, while saccadic eye movement had increased latency. These results showed more profound severity in more advanced stages of the disease. CONCLUSION : We suggest that ocular movement be often chosen as a simple but relevant example of general motor function, as well as criteria for staging of Parkinson's disease and basal ganglia play significant role in ocular movement.
