Four hundred and fifty patients of cerebrovascular accident who underwent computerized tomographic scanning during the 45 months, from January 1978 to October 1981, at department of internal medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, were studied and following results were obtained. 1. In Korea, intracerebral hematoma(48.2%) is more common than cerebral infarction(27.6%). 2. 87.3% of intracerebral hemorrhage were comfirmed while 61.5% of cerebral infarction were identified by brain CT. 3. Cerebrovascular accidents are definitely developing in 6th decade(40.6%) and male is more often affected. 4. hypertension is the most common underlying disease(72.3%) of cerebral hemorrhage, 52.4% of cerebral infarction. 5. hematoma occurs most frequently in basal ganglia(40.6%) and cerebral infarction occurs most frequently in global area(48.4%). 6. Changes of consciousness level were observed in 54.2% of the cases of mild degree hematoma. Mortality was 6.2% in mild degree hematoma and 88.2% in severe degree hematoma. 7. In 26.2% of cerebral hematoma, inital CSF findings were normal in spite of the evidence of cerebral hematoma confirmed by CT scanning.

Follicular bronchiolitis is an uncommon bronchiolar disorder that is characterized by the presence of hyperplastic lymphoid follicles with reactive germinal centers. The condition is associated with connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and immunodeficiency disorders. A 56-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted to hospital with a progressively enlarging pulmonary nodule in the left upper lobe. A follow-up contrast tomography scan showed that the nodule had increased in size from 4.2 mm to 6.3 mm over a 3 month period. An open lung biopsy was performed to establish a definite pathologic diagnosis of the pulmonary nodule, which was suspected to be a lung malignancy. The nodule was diagnosed as follicular bronchiolitis based on the histopathology findings. We describe a patient with follicular bronchiolitis that was confirmed by an open lung biopsy, and is believed to have had rheumatoid involvement.

We had experienced a successful caudal anesthesia for the intramedullary nailing of fractured femur shaft in a 39 years-old, male, adult weighing 47 kg with severe kyphoscoliosis. We had chosen caudal anesthesia as an anesthetic method because of his poor pulmonary function and severe deformity of thoracolumbar spine. Caudal anesthesia was performed with administration of the mixture of 6 mL of 2% lidocaine, 12 mL of 1.5% lidocaine, 10 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine, and 0.15 mg of 0.1% epinephrine. We could achieve the adequate anesthetic sensory dermatome level, L1, for the operation without any significant deterioration of blood pressures and respiration. We recommend that caudal anesthesia is a useful anesthetic method for a patient with severe kyphoscoliosis when the operation on hip or lower extremity is required.

We report multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) findings of a 34-year-old female with isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia. The MDCT and CMR scans displayed a spherical left ventricle (LV) with extensive fatty infiltration within the myocardium at the apex, interventricular septum and inferior wall, anteroapical origin of the papillary muscle, right ventricle wrapping around the deficient LV apex, and impaired systolic function. MDCT visualized morphologic and also functional findings of this unique cardiomyopathy.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Many dental clinicians are concerned about immediate loading of inserted implants. However, there have been few clinical studies surveying the success rates of immediate loading, based on Korean implant systems. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of immediate functional loading of the implant (SinusQuick(TM) EB, Neobiotech Co., Seoul, Korea) in partially edentulous maxilla or mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Total 15 implants were placed. Within 2 weeks after implant insertion, provisional implant-supported fixed partial dentures were delivered to the patients. Quantitatively, marginal bone loss was measured at the time of immediate loading, after 3-months of continued loading and at the last follow-up. The mean follow-up period was 4.8 months. RESULTS: Mean marginal bone loss from implant surgery to early loading, 3-months follow-up and last follow-up was 0.03 +/- 0.07 mm, 0.16 +/- 0.17 mm and 0.29 +/- 0.19 mm. No implant failed up to 6 months after insertion, resulting in a 100% survival rate. CONCLUSION: Immediate loading exhibited high success rate in partial edentulism for up to 6 months. Well-controlled long term clinical studies with large sample size are necessary to confirm this finding.
