Zuammenfassung: Neu konnte in einem Fall eine spontane Aderhautabhebung im Gefolge einer toxoplasmotischen Allgemeininfektion bei einem Saugling mit Hydrocephalus internus beobachtet werden. Verschiedenartige pathogenetische Faktoren Kennen bei der Entwickelung der spontanen serysen vorderen Aderhautabhebung wirksam werden. Hierzu zahlen neur gatative GefaBstorungen, eine sklerotisch-hypertonische Angiopathie, insbesondere aber entzundliche GefaBreaktionen im Sinne fokaltoxischer bzw. allergisch-hyperergischer Erscheinungen. Es ist angebracht, die bei einem entzundlichen GefaBhautprozeB auftretende spontane Aderhautabhebung als Cyclitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa bezeichnet wird.

Zusammenfassung: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurcle die heutige Kenntnis uber Symptome und Diagnose der Cy clitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa aus dem Literaturuberblick und aufgrund von 2 eigenen FalIen kritisch zusammengefasst. Bestehen einer Aderhautbuckel in der Fudusperipherie, die gute Durchleuchtbarkeit der Votwolbung, ein positives Hagensches Zeichen und entzundliche Erscheinungen des Augapfels sprechen fur das Vorliegen einer Cyclitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa. In manchen Fallen kann die Diagnose erst durch eine Probepunktion oder eine probatorische The Die mit Corticosteroid innerlich ex juvantivus gesichert werden. Die Cyclitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa tritt oftim Kaufe einer rezidivierenden granulomatosen Entzundung des Bulbus auf. An sie schliessen sich haufig eine exudative Netzhautabhebung, eine Chorioretinitis, Netzhautblutungen, eine Sehnerventzundung, ein Maculaodem, eine Perivasculitis und Funktionsstorungen als deren Foige an. Viele Autoren fanden eine erniedrigte Tension bei bestehenden Aderhautabhebungen. Ais Folgeerscheinungen cler Cyclitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa wurden auch eine Abflachung der Vorderkammer, eine vorubergehende Augeninnendruckerhohung im Hohepunkt der Krenkheit beobachtet. Die Cyclitis anularis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa im Gefolge der akuten Hypotonie tritt mit einer Vertiefung der Vorderkammer und einer Hypotonie des Bulbus auf. Es handelt sich hierbei um inkonstante Begleitssymptome. Man beobachtet eine Normalizierung der Vorderkammertiefe und des Augeninnendrcks zusammen mit dem Abklingen der abgehobenen Aderhaut. Nach Abheilung der Krankheit treten oft oraparalleler igmentstreifen und Funktionssiorungen im Gefolge von einer Retiopathie und einer Opticusatrophie auf. Die von Garmiger et al prazisierte Cyclitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa durfte der von Rohrschneider angegebenen komplizierten spontanen serosen vorderen Aderhautabhebung gleich sein. Aus 2 eigenen Fallen und dem Literaturuberblick wird geschlossen, dass es sich bei der Cyclitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa nicht um eine Erkrankung eigner Art, sondern um eine Begleitssymptome lasst vermuten, dass etwas anders als Cyslitis anularis exsudativa pseudotumorosa vorliegt.

PURPOSE: We evaluated internal and marginal features of solitary pulmonary nodules on CT to differentiate between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. Materials and Uethods:CT findings of 43 cases with solitary pulmonary nodule were reviewed, restrospectively. Independent T-test between benign and malignant nodules was used. RESULTS: Twenty-one cases were proved as benign nodules and 22 cases as malignant. CT air bronchogram was observed more frequently in the malignant lesions(36.4%) than in the benign ones (p=0.01). ,Air bubble shadow was observed in 5 cases of benign nodule, whereas none of the malignant lesions revealed it. Internal homogeneity or central low density was not different between the two groups. Cavitation was observed in 3 cases of tuberculoma and in 1 case of adenocarcinoma. Calcification was observed in 7 cases of benign and in 2 cases of malignant lesions. Differences in these two features were not statistically significant Mean size of malignant nodules was 3.23cm, and was larger than 2.16cm of benign nodules (p=0.002). Margin of benign nodules was more smooth (42.9%) than that of malignant nodules (p=0.01), and malignant nodules showed more Iobulated contour (90.9%) than benign nodules (42.9%) (p=0.00). The incidence of spiculation was not significantly different (benign 85.7% vs malignant 86.4%). Statistically, pleural tail and satellite lesions were not significantly different between two groups. CONCLUSION: Lobulated margin and CT air bronchogram are the most suggestive findings of malignant pulmonary noule on chest CT.

Traumatic epidermoid cysts are rare tumors occuring almost exclusively on the palms, palmar aspects of fingers, and soles. These cysts are thought to originate from a bit of epidermis implanted into the dermis after a penetrating or blunt wound. We report a case of typical traumatic epidermoid cyst on the sole of the right foot of a 23-year-old male student. The lesion was a coin-sized, tender, fluctuating cystic mass occuring 3 years after a penetrating wound by an iron nail. Histopathlogical examination revealed a deep dermal cyst lined by a thick, flattened, keratinizing wall with partial disruption accompanied by foreign-body reaction.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between yoga and autonomic nervous system in women with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: A randomized controlled study was performed in participants recruited from a public center for managing chronic diseases located in Gyeong-gi Province. The 39 women participants diagnosed with metabolic syndrome were randomly assigned to the 12-week yoga exercise group (n=22) or the wait-listed control group (n=17). Biochemical laboratory tests and heart rate variability were measured before and after the 12-week program. RESULTS: In post-menopausal women, the low frequency power of frequency domain significantly decreased in the yoga exercise group compared to the control group (P=0.07). On the time domain of heart rate variability and metabolic syndrome components, there were no significant differences between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Sympathetic activity was decreased in post-menopausal women with metabolic syndrome who practiced yoga. Our results suggest that yoga might be beneficial in improving the autonomic nervous system in post-menopausal women with metabolic syndrome.

Utile recently, osteotomy & reposition surgery of prominent zygoma have been performed by means of a coronal incision or intraoral preauricular incision. But penalties are paid, such as scar, the possibility of facial nerve injury and long operative time. Reflecting on our past experiences of facial bone surgery, we developed an alternative approach. In our method, the protrusion in the cheekbone is corrected by performing an osteotomy and reposition method through intraoral incision only. During the past 3 years we have operated on 23 patients of malar prominences. The amount of the bone to be removed is determined on preoperative interview, physical examination and x-rays. Intraoral incision provide access to the zygomatic body and lateral orbital rim. After L-shaped osteotomy, two paralle vertical and one transverse osteotomies, at medical part of the zygomatic body, the midsegment is removed. Posterior portion of zygomatic arch was approached through medical aspect and was outfractured using curved osteotome. After completion of triple osteotomy, the movable zygomatic complex was reduced medially and fixed with miniplates and screws on the zygomaticomaxillary buttress. The patients were followed for 9.5 months with acceptable result and little complication. The author concludes that this technique is effective and safe method in reduction malarpalsty.
