4.Building-related Illnesses.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2002;45(7):907-916
Building-related illness is an increasingly common problem. The disease fall into two categories : those that have an identifiable cause-such as legionellosis, humidifier fever, and conditions resulting from exposure to known substances such as asbestos, lead in paint, formaldehyde, etc-and those that have no readily identifiable cause but can be described only by a group of symptoms known as sick building syndrome (SBS). Although objective physiologic abnormalities are generally not found and permanent sequelae are rare, the symptoms of SBS can be uncomfortable, even disabling, and whole workplaces may be rendered non-functional. In assessment of patients with SBS complaints, specific building-related illnesses should be ruled out by history or physical examination. On-site assessment of buildings is extremely useful. Symptoms of non-specific building-related illnesses are common ; their heterogeneity suggests that they do not represent a single disorder. Although there is little convincing, direct evidence to implicate specific causative agents, there is sufficient indirect evidence to support a number of recommendations. For example, it seems prudent to maintain an outdoor-air supply of more than 10 liters per second per person ; to select the building materials, furnishings, and equipments that are least likely to release pollutants such as formaldehyde or volatile organic compounds ; to ensure proper maintenance and cleaning ; and to avoid materials that may act as substrates for the proliferation of microbes or dust mites.

7.Clinical Features after Rupture of Hydrogel Breast Implants - MDbP206.
Journal of the Korean Surgical Society 2009;76(3):144-148
PURPOSE: Since the use of silicone-filled breast implants has been restricted, hydrogel has been used an alternative filler as a silicone elastomer shell filled with polysaccharide gel. However, its use has also been restricted since 2000 because of complications due to metabolic fate. The author observed the postoperative findings after implant rupture. METHODS: Among 22 cases with previous augmentation mammoplasty using hydrogel implants that received reoperation in M.D. Clinic from February 2006 to June 2008, 12 cases of implant rupture were included in this study. RESULTS: The mean interval from the previous hydrogel surgery was 7 years ranging from 3 to 9 years. Symptoms were unilateral deflation in 4, unilateral breast edema in 4, unilateral changes in texture in 3 and 1 without any symptoms. There was a significant spread of hydrogel into the surrounding tissue in 2 cases of deflation, 2 cases of edema and 1 asymptomatic case. The most severe spreading occurred 6 years after implant in a patient who had been delivered of a baby 2 months before her visit. The author performed total capsulectomy in 11 cases but was unable to remove all gel in 3 cases of multiple spread. Postoperative complications were mild capsular contracture in 2 patients with incomplete removal of surrounding gel and medial herniation in 1 in multiple spreading after childbirth. CONCLUSION: Rupture of hydrogel breast implants had a high risk of surrounding tissue damage and it is suggested that these implants should not be used for breast augmentation. Patients with hydrogel breast implants should be checked carefully for rupture.
