1.Relationships among Attitudes toward Menstruation, Peri-menstrual Symptoms, and Coping in Adolescent Girls.
Korean Journal of Health Promotion 2011;11(2):106-114
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the attitudes of adolescent girls towards menstruation, peri-menstrual symptoms, and coping. METHODS: A convenience sample of 521 adolescent girls was obtained from two middle schools and two high schools in M city. Data were collected through questionnaires about menstrual attitudes, menstrual symptoms, and coping. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. RESULTS: Subjects showed both negative and positive attitudes toward menstruation. There were significant correlation between attitudes toward menstruation and peri-menstrual symptoms. Subjects having a positive attitude toward menstruation needed a nursing mediator to provide relief for menstrual symptoms during the peri-menstrual period. Attitudes toward menstruation explained 11.0% variance of menstrual symptoms, and factor 4, in particular, (event whose onset can be predicted and anticipated) correlated strongest with menstrual symptoms and explained 21.5% variance of menstrual symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that evidence-based strategies for positive attitudes toward menstruation, menstrual symptom, and coping should be included in a comprehensive approach to a nursing intervention to help adolescent girls.

Bronchial artery embolization is well-accepted and widely used for management of massive and recurrent hemoptysis. This may either provide a definite therapeutic measure or a stabilizing effect on the patents in preparation for surgery. Retrospectively we reviewed 129 cases(106 patients) of bronchial artery embolization with Gelfoam pudding & Ivalon for control of hemoptysis from July 1985 to january 1991. The causes of hemoptysis were pulmonary tuberculosis(80.2%). Bronchiectasis(11.3%), asperigilloma(2.8%), and others(5.7%). The cases of pulmonary tuberculosis included tuberculous bronchiectasis (40.0%), active(34.1%), undetermined(14.1%) and inactive(11.8%). @ES The results were as follows: @EN Immediate control of hemoptysis was achieved in 104 of 122 cases(85.2%). Immediate control of massive hemoptysis was achieved in 94 of 107 cases(87.6%) and of chronic intermittent hemoptysis in 10 of 15 cases(76.0%). Hemoptysis recurred in 39 of 90 follow up cases(43.3%) on follow-up studies performed ranging in period from 2 to 49 month after the initial studies. Thirty three of 81 cases of massive hemoptysis recurred(40.7%) and six of 9 cases of chronic intermittent hemoptysis recurred(67.0%). One years rebleeding rate of massive hemoptysis was 34.6%. The rebleeding cases of massive hemoptysis were controlled by conservative treatment in 25 of 33 cases(75.8%). In conclusion. Bronchial artery embolization for hemoptysis control is effective in massive hemoptysis, but nearly ineffective in chronic intermittent hemoptysis, The goal of bronchial artery embolization is lifesaving procedure without permanent effect. Especially hemoptysis related to pulmonary tuberculosis.

Cellular schwaninoma is a variant of schwannoma, which is characterized by predominance of cellular Antoni A area, presence of mitotic activity, nuclear hyperchromasia, pleomorphism, and absence of Verocay body. These pathologic features often prompted a misdiagnosis of malignancy. However, the clinical outcome has indicated the benignity of the tumor. We have experienced a case of cellular schwannoma arising from right facial nerve with right hemifacial weakness and erosion of mastoid process. Grossly, it was a 3.5 x 3 cm sized and relatively well encapsulated mass with yellowish, friable cut surface. Microscopically, cellular growth with moderate cellular pleomorphism and some mitotic activity (5/40 HPFS, up to 2/HPF) were noted. Immunostaining for S-100 protein showed diffuse strong positive reaction.

We report a case of type III hyperlipoproteinemia which is called a broad-beta disease. A 53 year old female patient visited our clinic for the evaluation of multiple yellowish papules on extremities and eyelids. The patient showed various types of xanthoma includiiig eruptive, tuberous, tendinous xanthomas and xanthelasma palpebrarum, xanthoma striatum palmare. The blood chemistry revealed a marked elevstion of cholesterol and triglycerides and agarose gel electrophoresis showed a single peak at prebeta and beta portion without separation. On histopathologic studies, typical foam cells were showen.

The diagnosis of painful hips of the children are very difficult in their early stage of diseases. Transient synovitis, Legg-Calve-Perthes' diseas juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and pyogenic hip are very similar in clinical manifestation and plane radiology. But the treatment methods and prognoses are very different, so it is very important to make an accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis as early as possible. In the above mentioned diseases hip joint effusion is one of common manifestations, so we studied the hip joint effusion by ultrasonography in 49 children with painful hips and also we studied both hips of healthy children to determine the criteria of the normal hip joint. And the results are summerized as follows: l. Ultrasonography was very good method for detection of hip joint effusion. 2. In healthy children, the average bone-to-capsule distance was 2.95mm. 3. In children patients with unilateral painful hip, the average bone-to-capsule distance was 2.96mm, so it was very similar to that of healthy children. 4. The difference more than 2mm between both hips was abnormal. 5. In 49 children with painful hips, over all positive rate was 63.3%.
