Migraine is a common neurologic disorder with recurrent headache and variable accompanying symptoms. Patients with migraine have suffered by an enormous burden on daily life and impairment of quality of life (QoL), but migraine is still underdiagnosed and undertreated. For early and better diagnosis and treatment of migraine, headache education and instruments for evaluation of headache outcomes including QoL and disability are essential. Nonpharmachological treatment like cognitive-behavior therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, lifestyle modification and trigger avoidance, biofeedback, relaxation training can reduce frequency of pain, disability, so headache education might be helpful. Headache diary and instruments for evaluation of QoL, disability and comorbidity like Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS), Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ) are useful tools to decide plans of treatment. When nonpharmachological treatment and headache education are well applied and evaluation of the QoL and disability are reflected, it will help improve the quality of life for migraine patients.

Endoscopic microwave coagulation therapy was applied to two cases of postoperative anastomotic stenosis. Clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings were improved by endoscopic microwave coagulation tberapy in both cases. It is concluded that this method will be a safe and sure method for the treatment of anastomotic stenosis after gastrointestinal operation

One hundred eighty infants with oxygen therapy who were under 2,500gm birth weight or under 37 weeks of gestational age, were examined between January 1990 and November 1992. We performed clnical analysis and results were as follows. 1) Fifty six infants (31.1%) were diagnosed as retinopathy of prematurity. 2) The first examination was performed at 2.5 weeks of life on average, and the retinopathy of prematurity was diagnosed at 3.8 weeks on average. 3) The incidence of retinopathy of prematurity was highly associated with low birth weight (< or =1,890 gm), low gestational age ( < or =33.1 weeks), and high oxygen concentration with long duration (FiO2> or =0.4 over 1 week)(P<0.005). 4) Other associated risk factors were idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome, anemia, neonatal hypoxia and sepsis.

Epidemiology*

Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare disease entity in which various tissue are infiltrated by proliferating histiocytes. Involvement of alimentary tract is rare (<5%), especially in the stomach. Only seven cases of gastric Langerhans cell histiocytosis have been reported in Enlglish literature. Diabetes insipidus is the most common endocrinologic complication. We report a case of Langerhans cell histiocytosis involving stomach and pituitary stalk. The diagnosis of gastric Langerhans cell histiocytosis and diabetes insipidus was based on gastric mucosal biopsy specimen from a Korean man with suspicious hypertrophic gastric folds of gastric body, water deprivation test and sella MRI.

Enteric duplications are uncommon congenital anomalies. Duplications of the stomach account for only 3.8% of gastrointestinal duplication. More particularly, duplications involving the pylorus are extremely rare. These are characterized by firm attachment to at least one point of the alimentary tract with a well developed coat of smooth muscle and mucous membrane. The most frequent presentation is an abdominal mass with vomiting, mainly discovered during the first year of life. We experienced a 24-day-old boy with non-bilous, non-projectile vomiting and palpable abdominal mass, clinically similar to hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. He was diagnosed as having gastropyloric duplication cyst by abdominal ultrasonography, upper gastrointestinal series and abdominal computerized tomography. Thus we report a newborn infant with gastric outlet obstruction secondary to a duplication of the pylorus which is a rare cause of gastric obstruction.
