Spontaneous testicular hemorrhagic necrosis is a rare disease usually associated with testicular torsion. Partially involved and suspicious testis tumor cases are also defined from orchiectomy specimens. Herein, a spontaneous hemorrhagic necrosis, without any testicular torsion, but with involvement of the whole testicle and epididymis, is reported. A 21 year old patient, who presented with a painless left testicular enlargement of several days duration was believed, based on physical examination, ultrasonography and elevation of serum LDH, to have a testicular tumor. Diagnosis was made only after radical orchiectomy and histopathological examination.

Myocarditis is defined as the myocardial inflammation caused by various infectious agents (such as virus, rickettsia , bacteria, protozoa, fungus and parasites). The clinical manifestations of myocarditis ranges from the asymptomatic state due to focal inflammation to fulminant fatal congestive heart failure secondary to diffuse myocardial involvement. Clinically, in some cases, it may simulate an acute myocardial infarction. We experienced a case of acute fulminant myocarditis that presented as acute myocardial infarction initially, and then progressed into and recovered from congestive heart failure and multiorgan failure.

We report a case of giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath in a 36-year-old male, who presented an asymptomatic, firm, 1.0 × 0.8 × 0.4cm-sized nodule, involving the volar aspect of the distal phalanx of the right index finger about 1 year ago. Histopathologically, the enucleated lesion showed four lobules surrounded by thin connective tissue, each of which demonstrated the variable cellularity and the polymorphic cell population consisting of foam cells, spindle-shaped fibroblasts, histiocyte-like cells and multinucleated giant cells with heavy hemosiderin deposits near the periphery, in the collagenous stroma. He has done well with no recurrence during one year of follow-up since the operation.

Spontaneous rupture of subcapsular liver hematoma in pregnancy is rare but potential life threatening complication of preeclampsia. We experienced a case of spontaneous rupture of subcapsular hematoma of liver that was treated with conservative method. So, we present the case with a brief review of literatures as first report in Korea.

BACKGROUND: Fracture-risk assessment tool (FRAX) using just clinical risk factors of osteoporosis has been developed to estimate individual risk of osteoporotic fractures. We developed prediction model of fracture risk using bone mineral density (BMD) as well as clinical risk factors in Korean, and assessed the validity of the final model. METHODS: To develop and validate an osteoporotic FRAX, a total of 768 Korean men and women aged 50 to 90 years were followed for 7 years in a community-based cohort study. BMD as well as clinical risk factors for osteoporotic fracture including age, sex, body mass index, history of fragility fracture, family history of fracture, smoking status, alcohol intake, use of oral glucocorticoid, rheumatoid arthritis, and other causes of secondary osteoporosis were assessed biannually. RESULTS: During the follow-up period, 86 osteoporotic fractures identified (36 in men and 50 in women). The developed prediction models showed high discriminatory power and had goodness of fit. CONCLUSIONS: The developed a Korean specific prediction model for osteoporotic fractures can be easily used as a screening tool to identify individual with high risk of osteoporotic fracture. Further studies for validation are required to confirm the clinical feasibility in general Korean population.

Bladder cancer is generally manifested with gross hematuria and this is the most common urinary tract neoplasm in Korea, but it is very rare to find it combined with a contracted bladder. A case of contracted bladder was suspected as being recurred urinary tuberculosis; because of her past history, the urine analysis and cystoscopic findings seemed to resemble the chronic inflammation associated with urinary tuberculosis, and the transurethral biopsy reported only chronic inflammation. Yet the final histopathologic report after cystectomy and urinary diversion revealed that there was no tuberculosis, but rather, there was bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). Therefore, any contracted bladder found in an older age patient is considered to be a urinary TCC until proven otherwise. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of bladder TCC combined with contracted bladder.

In these days, computing environment turns to web environment and a lot of hospitals build information system. A medical services through the web provide patients and doctors with convenience and help experts to communicate with each other. Initially, web provided static text information, but nowadays needs of interactivity between client and server is increasing. In order to diagnose heart diseases, we use 12 channel ECG, stress ECG, holter ECG, etc. These data are a lot of correlation with each other but there are little system managed them with integration. To enhance management efficiency and share medical information, it is necessary to develop integrated ECG management system based the web. In this paper, we use common object request broker architecture(CQRBA) to implement the system. The CORBA is to apply object oriented concept to web. We can implement application easily and reduce costs to maintain and repay because server objects and client objects exist independently. We developed a System to integrate these data using network and to raise management efficiency. we focus on the performance of object web and the implementation of ECG management system based on the web.
