Massive ovarian deema is a tate conditian. It is a benign enlargement of the ovary caused by accumulation of fluid, which is thought to result from intermittent partial toraion of the ovarian pedicle. Histologically, the ovaries were characterized by diffuse edema of medulla and inner cortex. Two cases of massive ovanan edema are reported with brief review of the literatures.

Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia is a rare hereditary bone dysplasia, transmitted as autosomal recessive trait. This disorder is defined by Gorlin in 1969 as one of a family of severe bone disorders called "Craniotubular bone dysplasia", which is charaterized by massive and generalized hyperostosis and sclerosis, especially involving the skull facial bones. The major clinical features include marked craniofacial changes associated with bony overgrowth such as an enlarged head circumference, cranial nerve palsies and severe facial distortion. We experienced a case of craniodiaphyseal dysplasia in 2 year-9 month-old female patient who presented with typical clinical manifestation and radiologic findings nearly identical to those described by Gorlin. This is the first description of this rare disease in the Korean literature. Thus, we report a case of craniodiaphyseal dysplasia with brief related literature.

Thenar motor unit number estimation(MUNE) was performed in 49 normal subjects without known neuromuscular diseases using statistical method. The purposes of this study were to compare MUNE parameters between the dominant and non-dominant hands and to evaluate the changes according to age. Reproducibility was assessed in 20 subjects also. The results showed that thenar motor units number, maximum negative peak compound muscle action potential (CMAP) area and mean area of single motor unit potentials(SMUP) were not different between dominant and non-dominant sides, but maximum negative peak CMAP amplitude was larger in dominant than non-dominant side. With aging, the motor unit number, maximum negative peak CMAP amplitude and area decreased and the mean area of single motor unit potentials increased. There was a high reproducibility between the test and the retest values for motor unit number, maximum negative peak CMAP amplitude and area as well as mean area of single motor unit potentials. The statistical estimate of the motor unit number is a reliable method and easily available in clinical settings. The results of this study are expected to be used as a baseline data for the future.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of unknown etiology that commonly affects adolescents, imposing significant socioeconomic burdens. Effective management necessitates a comprehensive approach that takes into account multiple factors, including growth potential and psychological issues. Despite significant advancements in AIS management, several questions regarding optimal treatment strategies persist. Recent technological advancements are transforming the treatment landscape, encompassing advancements in bracing, robotic-assisted deformity corrections, and other interventions. This review explores current issues debated in the literature concerning the treatment of AIS, focusing on contemporary high-level evidence (e.g., meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials). Furthermore, this review explores cutting-edge developments and future directions in AIS management, including the integration of artificial intelligence and augmented reality.
