OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to know the correlation between resting calcaneal stance position (RCSP) and height-length (H/L) ratio of foot. METHOD: Both feet of 173 persons who visited the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Chungnam National University Hospital were included in the study. Their mean age was 23.6 years old. H/L ratio, RCSP and navicular angle of 346 feet were measured. All people were divided into 3 groups, such as, normal foot (-2degrees2degrees) according to the angle of RCSP. And the relationship between RCSP and H/L ratio were evaluated. Independent T-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation of SPSS was used for statistical data processing. RESULTS: The mean H/L ratio of rear foot valgus was 0.2206, noraml foot 0.2440 and rearfoot varus 0.2625. H/L ratio and navicular angle showed significant increase in each RCSP groups in order of rear foot angle. CONCLUSION: H/L ratio and RCSP showed strong positive correlation and the value of H/L ratio in normal group was 0.2440+/-0.0114 (Mean+/-S.D.). H/L ratio is easily acceptable parameter in human mechanics or orthotic field of rehabilitation.

and Relevance: Chromatin accessibility is crucial in gene regulation in domestic animals, influencing development, immune response, and productivity. Despite the progress, more comprehensive epigenomic datasets and cross-species analytical tools are needed to harness chromatin accessibility in domestic animal research. Understanding these mechanisms has practical applications in improving livestock traits, advancing breeding programs, and developing disease-resistant animals, highlighting the importance of integrating epigenetic and genomic tools for enhancing animal health and productivity.

Sebaceous neoplasms are rare adnexal tumors that can present a challenge to clinicians. Only four cases of sebaceous carcinoma with sebaceoma have been reported in the literature. Herein, we describe the case of a sebaceous carcinoma originating from a sebaceoma in a solitary nodule of the posterior neck. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were strongly positive for epithelial membrane antigen and p53. It is possible that adnexal carcinomas may arise from malignant transformation of their benign counterparts as well as de novo. Malignant transformation was likely in this case because the lesion was composed of distinct benign and malignant components, and the benign component showed the typical histopathological features of sebaceoma. This case underscores the fact that partial and superficial biopsies sometimes may not provide the correct diagnosis. If a surgeon suspects malignancy based on a clinical examination, then it is mandatory to perform a deep biopsy.

Primary Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by xerostomia and keratoconjunctivitis sicca result from lymphocytic infiltrations of salivary and lacrimal glands.It may accompany by the wide spectrums of extraglandular symptoms,such as musculoskeletal,pulmonary,renal,intestinal,hematologic,and nervous system.However,overt cardiac manifestations are very rare and are documented only a few cases sporadically. We report a patient with primary Sjogren's syndrome who developed reversible congestive heart failure as part of a myocarditis.A 39-year-old woman with primary Sjogren's syndrome developed fatigue,dyspnea,and abdominal discomfort.An echocardiography revealed global hypokinetic left ventricle with markedly decreased ejection fraction (EF=39%),abnormal restrictive filling pattern,secondary tricuspid valve insufficiency and no pericardial effusion or thickening.A myocardial biopsy disclosed myocardial degeneration with lymphocyte infiltration.Following treatment with digitalis,diuretics,ACE inhibitor and corticosteroid,the symptoms of congestive heart failure improved.A repeat echocardiography showed an improved ventricular contractility and recovered both diastolic (normalized E/A ratio)and systolic (EF=50%)functions.

A 37-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with altered mentality. The patient was diagnosed an internal carotid artery (ICA) dorsal wall aneurysm leading to acute subdural hemorrhage (SDH) without occurring subarachnoid hemorrhage and/or internal parenchymal hemorrhage. An aneurysmal neck clipping and hematoma evacuation were performed at once. A pure SDH by ruptured aneurysm is unusual, but it is important to consider it if a SDH patient has no other medical history.
