Morgagni hernia is an uncommon finding in adult and rarer still in infants and children, adn they say that Morgagni hernia occur about one in every 300 diaphragmatic hernias diagnosed. This paper presents a 16 months old Korean male infant with symptomatic Morgagni's hernia in whom the diagnosis was established during the course of treatment of upper respiratory tract infection and who were operated successfully. This well nourished patient was admitted with the chief complaints of mid dyspnea, coughing and restlessness for 2 days. During treatment and investigation we detected a peristaltic sound in the right side lung field and confirmed it as Morgagni hernia by chest X-ray and barium swallowing. We performed corrective surgery through a midline supra-umbilical incision. As opened the peritoneum, transverse colon was gushed out, which suspected as herniated intestinal loop. After well mobilization of visible bowel, hernia sac was notified from the anterior portion or right crus of diaphragm. The hernia was reduced very easily. The patient made an uninterrupted recovery and on the 8th post-op. day, he went to home with symptom-free state. We made a brief literature review.

To investigate long term effects of CAPD on the left ventricular function in end-stage renal disease patients, M-mode echocardiographic studies and measurement o fsystolic time intervals were performed in 20 CAPD cases, 28 hemodialysis cases and 29 uremic controls. Compared to the uremic control grup, the patients on CAPD treatment revealed significant improvement of ventricular contractility and reduction of volume. On the other hand in hemodialysis group, even though there was improvement of ventricular contractility, volume control was not adequate. In the systolic time interval measurement, it is postulated that increase of PEP/LVET ratio in CAPD group probably results from reduction of volume(preload) rather than from deranged ventricular function.

Neurilemmoma is the most frequent solitary tumor of the peripheral nerves. It may occur anywhere in the body, but their occurrence in the penis is rare and unusual. Treatment of this lesion is simple surgical excision. We report a case of neurilemmoma of the penis in a 27 year-old male and review the literature.

A 55-year-old man with a palpable pulsatile mass and pain in his left thigh was presented to us. He had no history of trauma in his left leg, interventions, operation, or medical diseases, including cardiac valve disease, endocarditis, and systemic infection. The size of the aneurysm was 10 cm×7 cm with a mural thrombus in ultrasonography and multidetector computer tomography. There was no evidence of other aneurysms or occlusive lesions in the other arteries. The aneurysm was resected without a vascular reconstruction of the deep femoral artery. The patient’s symptom improved rapidly. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery without complications. We report a case of true deep femoral artery aneurysm, which was successfully treated with resection of an aneurysm without a vascular reconstruction.

Homogenization technique is employed to investigate the series of stress analyses of mandible for three different types of dental implants. This technique helps to make proper material model of bone and analyze such a non homogeneous structure at the level of individual microstructural unit. The stress analyses with homogenization technique show much higher stress level in the sponge bone, compared to those of conventional FEM. It also manifested that even a minor lateral force results in crucial stresses in the dental implant system and that the macroscale model should take the shape and size after real mandible to produce reasonable solution in the analyses of dental implant systems. The shapes of dental implants simulated in this study are rectangularcross-sectioned type, hemi-sphere rooted type, and wedge type implant. The stress states of mandible with hemisphere rooted type implant and wedge type implant show similar levels, while those with sectioned rectangular implant results in higher stresses. It is suggested that the distance between the implant tip and cortical bone be kept far enough to prevent stress concentrations in the mandible.
