1.Effectiveness of a Self-management Program using Goal Setting based on a G-AP for Patients after a Stroke.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2014;44(5):581-591
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to develop a self-management program using goal setting for patients after a stroke. The program was based on a theory-based Goal setting and Action Planning framework (G-AP), and the effectiveness of the program was examined. METHODS: A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The experimental group (n=30) received the self-management program using goal setting based on the G-AP over 7 weeks. The education was delivered individually with a specifically designed stroke workbook. The control group (n=30) received only patient information leaflets about stroke. RESULTS: There were significant differences between the two groups. Stroke knowledge, self-efficacy, and health behavior compliance were significantly higher (all p<.001), and hospital anxiety (p<.001) and depression (p<.001) were significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: This self-management program using goal setting based on a G-AP was found to be useful and beneficial for patients in stroke rehabilitation settings.

The effects of the amount of red pepper intake per a day on the capsaicin threshold, nutrient intake, and anthropometric measurements were investigated in 100 female students of university. Three 24-hour recalls were performed to estimate usual nutrient and red pepper intake of free-living participants. The solutions containing capsaicin at concentration of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5ppm used for the evaluation of hot-taste detection threshold. Subjects were asked to recognize the burning sensation after tasting 10ml of each test solution in ascending order of capsaicin concentrations. Mean intake of red pepper was 4.6 g/d and the capsaicin threshold was 0.27 ppm. The detection threshold for capsaicin was correlated with the amount of pepper intake per a day. Red pepper intake was correlated with energy, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, Iron, vitamin A, vitamin B2, niacin, and vitamin E intakes. However, it was not correlated with intake of calcium, vitamin B1, or vitamin C. The red pepper intake was negatively correlated with fat mass and waist girth and the capsaicin threshold was also negatively correlated with pulse. In conclusion, red pepper intake was associated with nutrient intake and capsaicin threshold whereas it was negatively correlated with fat mass and waist girth.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recently, canal down mastoidectomy tends to be more frequently selected for complete eradication of the lesion and prevention of recurrence. Therefore, the problems attendant to the open mastoid continue to be of concern. Although various techniques have been used to solve the cavity problems, no single procedure has yet been devised that entirely accomplished this purpose. We evaluated the effects of partial mastoid obliteration using inferior based musculoperiosteal flap and autogenous conchal cartilage chips. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty four cases were performed with mastoid obliteration using inferior based musculoperiosteal flap and autogenous conchal cartilage chips obtained from meatoplasty. There were 11 cases for control which were performed with canal down mastoidectomy without obliteration. We compared these two groups in the duration of epithelialization, accumulation of debris, presence or absence of drainage, shape of remodeled canal and caloric response and evaluated survival or atrophy of flap and absorption of cartilage chips. RESULTS: Obliteration group showed more rapid healing and epithelialization and less accumulated epithelial debris. Atrophy of flap or absorption of cartilage was not observed. There was no draining ear but vertigo with nystagmus on caloric stimulation developed in both groups. CONCLUSION: This partial mastoid obliteration technique used easy and quick application instead of complete restoration of canal wall, and it may be also valuable in providing rapid epithelialization and reducing mastoid bowl volume with relatively round canal shape. Furthermore, epitympanic obliteration using cartilage chips may be an effective method to prevent formation of attic retraction pocket.

The most common cause of orbital in/fection is a sinusitis, and if this orbital complication is not provided with appropriate and intensive treatments, serious status such as visual loss or life-threatening may occur. Osteomyelitis rarely results from sinusitis, and in cases where it happens, the frontal sinus is the most frequently involved site. However, zygomatic osteomyelitis has not been reported so far. We present a case of maxillary sinusitis which was initiated by oroantral fistula, and developed to preseptal and postseptal abscess, penetrating into the orbital septum. The case was complicated by zygomatic osteomyelitis. This case was successfully treated by draining pus by endonasal endoscopic sinus surgery, infraorbital incision, and was followed by antibiotic therapy for about 8 weeks.
