BACKGROUND: Family physicians help the patients to be adapted to a new life cycle with anticipatory guidance. But the later life of empty nest stage seems to be the most stressful since during this time is made preparation of his/her own death. Anticipatory guidance in later life for death is not encouraged because after death, the patient no longer exists. METHODS: From August 1, 1995 to August 31,1995, we gathered the data by the means of questionnaire to persons aged over 60 who visited the department of family medicine and geriatric center in Yong-dong Severance Hospital. The questionnaire was consisted of demographic factors, attitude toward death, fear of death, preparation of death in aspect of his/her own and also in his/her family. RESULTS: The total 104 subjects responded to the questionnaire, consisting of 58 males and 46 females. To the question asking the attitude tpward death, 71(67.6%)answered death as a spiritually new life, 39(37.1%)as an end of life and 11(10.5%)as just and event in life. 75(72.1%)persons insisted the need of preparation of death, and the content of the preparation were consideration of the family 35(33.3%), preparation of mind 34(32.4%), devotion to religion 33(31.4%), arrangement of fortune 19(18.1%). The answer about the fear of death was 42(40.0%)and the reasons for fear were pain of death 26(24.8%), separation from the family 19(18.1%), uncertainty of the nature after death 17(16.2%), suffering of the family 10(9.5% ) in rank order. The contents of preparation of death as family were being together with dying person 57(45.7%), evangelizm 32(30.5%), helping arrangement of life 30(28.6%), and the answer about fear of death of family were pain of death 40(37.1%), regret 31(26.5%), lack of preparation of after death 22(21.1%), loneliness after separation 14(13.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Family physicians should recognize death as one of the life cycles because the most persons insist of the need of preparation of death. So family physician can help the the patient prone to death by anticipatory guidance with stimulation of performance of developmental tasks.

Kallmann syndrome is characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism resulting from insufficient release of GnRH and associated with anosmia or hyposmia. We experienced two cases of Kallmann syndrome with abnormal brain MRI findings(olfactory bulb aplasia) & secondary sexual dysfunction.

Correct discrimination of the first and the second twin is important. Case: (1) The first fetus, whose amnionic cavity was closest to the cervix at 19 weeks, even though its body was higher than the second fetus, was found to be closer to the cervix by 23 gestational weeks than its twin. (2) The result of the chromosomal study of dichorionic twins at 17 gestational weeks was male with 9 inversion of the presumed first, and female with trisomy 21 of the presumed second. AT 19 gestational weeks, the sex and order of the two were found to be reversed at sonography for selective termination. In diamnionic twins, the fetus in the amnionic sac closest to the cervix is nominated as the first.

Myometrial pregnancy developing in an previous cesarean section scar is the rarest of all ectopic pregnancy and provavly one of the most dangerous because of the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. For a young patient wanting to maintain her fertility, an earlier diagnosis and more conservative treatment are highly desirable. We present a case of an ectopic pregnancy embedded in the myometrium of a previous cesarean section scar in which the patient preserved her fertility through more noninvasive method, transvaginal ultrasound-guided Methotrexate injection.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to compare the rates of industrial accidents in workplaces that adopted the 2011 Workplace Health Promotion Subsidy Scheme before and after the implementation. METHODS: The study analyzed the raw data of industrial accidents of 304 workplaces which received subsidies for health promotion activities in 2011. The raw data covered the period from February 2010 to July 2012, based on the dates of industrial accidents. RESULTS: Workplaces subsidized for health promotion activities reported fewer occurrences in staff injuries and illnesses than before the subsidization, as the total number of industrial accident victims dropped from 0.35 to 0.24. The rate of industrial accidents also dropped from 0.49 to 0.35, with the number of working days decreased from 35,433 to 23.867, about 33%. CONCLUSION: The study showed that financial support for health-promoting activities contributed to the decease in industrial accidents, which is an important indication advocating the need for corporate and government investment on workers health promotion programs. Furthermore, this study is also significant as it is the first research conducted in Korea to examine the impact of a workers health promotion project using a direct indicator, the rate of industrial accidents.
