The authors developed a computer program for use in report printing as well as data storage and retrieval for the gastrointestinal endoscopy service. This program used IBM PC XT and was written in dBASE III plus language. We applied the automatic SNOMED coding method, which is one of the most efficient and accurate method of computerization of medical data. The working sheet which contained the results of previous endoscopic studies could be printed during registration. The dBASE word processor enabled issuing of the formal report of endoscopic result, and the data storage was carried out during the typewriting of the report. Two kinds of data files were stored in the hard disk; the temporary file contained full informations and the permanent file contained patients identification data and SNOMED code. Searching of a specific case was performed by chart number, patients name, date of study, or SNOMED code within a second. All the cases were arranged by SNOMED codes of procedure, topography and morphology codes. Every new data was copied to the diskette automatically. with which data could be restored in case of hard disk failure. The main advantages of this program in comparison to the large main frame computer system are low price, flexibility and easy accessibility. Based on our experience (including surgical pathology department, radiology, clinical pathology), we assume that this program may fit every endoscopy room where there are less than 20,000 cases per year.

3.Transient unilateral exotropia after an infraorbital local anesthetic injection: a case report
Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2022;28(4):143-146
We report a case of transient unilateral exotropia, a rare complication that occurred after an infraorbital local anesthetic injection, and present the possible mechanism underlying this adverse effect. A 64-year-old man underwent an excisional biopsy under local anesthesia for bilateral lower eyelid masses. He received a subcutaneous injection of a local anesthetic (a combination of 1:100,000 epinephrine and 2% lidocaine). Intraoperatively, we observed a homogeneous, fat-attenuated mass with thin fibrous septae inside the orbital septum of each eye. Following excision of the masses, the patient developed severe diplopia accompanied by exotropia, impaired adduction, and mydriasis of the right eye. The pupillary light reflex, visual acuity, and visual field test results were within normal ranges. Notably, his symptoms completely resolved 4 hours postoperatively without intervention. To our knowledge, transient unilateral exotropia following infraorbital local anesthetic injection is rare. The exotropia was attributed to diffusion of the epinephrine/lidocaine solution, which may have affected the ciliary ganglion and the medial rectus muscle. Caution is warranted during local anesthetic injections in patients who undergo periorbital surgery.

Parenteral reserpine was given intramuscularly to 32 hospitalized hypertensive patients: 10 hypertensive patients without renal insufficiency, 3 hypertensive patients with heart failure, 10 hypertensive patients of malignant phase or with uremia, and 9 hypertensive patients with cerebrovascular accident. Follwoings were the result. 1. In the majority of patients, the effective dose of reserpine was 2 to 3 mg. 2. Reserpine given intramuscularly lowered blood pressure in 2 to 4 hours, had its maximum effect in 3 to 6 hours and had a duration of 3 to more than 24 hours (average 9 hours). 3. When effective dose of reserpine was given, blood pressure was lowered significantly (more than 30mmHg in mean blood pressure) in 18 patients (81.7%) of 22 hypertensive patients without renal insufficiency, and in 4 patients (40%) of 10 hypertensive patients with renal insufficiency. 4. Major side effect was drowsiness which was more evident in the patients with renal insufficiency. 5. Reserpine administered parenterally is an effective and safe agent for the treatment of hypertensive emergencies on a short term basis especially in the patient without renal insufficiency.

5.Environmental triggers for chronic cough
Asia Pacific Allergy 2019;9(2):e16-
Cough is a physiological defense reflex for protecting the airways from aspiration and irritation. Thus, roles of environmental triggers are postulated in the pathogenesis of chronic cough. There are several lines of epidemiological evidence demonstrating the relationships between environmental irritant and pollutant exposure and chronic cough. However, positive findings from cross-sectional studies just reflect the protective nature of cough but may not properly address the true impact of environmental triggers. If harmful inhalation is repeated, cough may be seen as chronic but indeed is protective in nature. Therefore, long-term residual outcomes would be the key for understanding the effects of environmental triggers on chronic cough. The present review aims to summarize the associations between chronic cough and environmental pollutants or irritant exposure, with a focus on the long-term residual effects of (1) chronic persistent exposure and (2) acute high-intensity exposure on chronic cough, and also to examine (3) whether childhood irritant/pollutant exposure may increase the risk of chronic cough in adulthood.

6.A Case of Parry-Romberg Syndrome with Intractable Seizure.

Parry-Romberg syndrome, first described in 1825 by Parry and in 1846 by Romberg, is a rare disorder characterized by a progressive hemifacial atrophy of the skin and adipose tissue and atrophy of muscle, cartilage, and underlying bony structures. It is sometimes accompanied with such complications as ophthalmologic abnormality, localized alopecia and neurologic symptoms, for example, contralateral Jacksonian epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, migrane and hemiplegia. The onset is slow and progressive, starting at the first or second decade of life and lasting for 2-10 years, ending with a face being "burned out". It is often associated with epilepsy but the link between these two conditions is poorly understood. In patients with progressive hemifacial atrophy, a high incidence of abnormal neuroradiologic findings in the brain has been reported. Brain MRI findings include cerebral hemiatrophy, cortical calcification, unilateral focal infarction in the corpus callosum, diffuse deep and subcortical white matter signal changes and mild cortical thickening. We report a case of Parry-Romberg syndrome in a 5-year-old boy who had a progressive Rt. facial hemiatrophy with intractable epilepsy and basal ganglia calcification from brain MRI.

8.Complications and management of breast augmentation using two different types of fillers: a case series

An advantage of breast augmentation with injectable fillers is that the desired size can be determined and achieved under local anesthesia with a short recovery time. However, a high complication rate is a critical disadvantage. Some fillers are challenging to remove, resulting in breast deformity and scarring. Five patients who underwent surgery to manage a foreign body in the breasts in 2021 were enrolled in this study. Two had copolyamide filler injections, while the other three had polyacrylamide hydrogel filler injections. A physical examination was performed, and preoperative and intraoperative photographs were obtained. Two patients underwent subcutaneous mastectomy because most of the filler had infiltrated into the normal breast tissue. In contrast, the other patients underwent filler removal and debridement because most of the filler had remained separate from the normal breast tissue. All patients who had a subcutaneous mastectomy and one who underwent only filler removal underwent immediate breast reconstruction with cohesive gel implants. The other patients rejected immediate reconstruction, and only filler removal was performed. All patients recovered without complications. We propose an algorithm for diagnosis and treatment based on our cases, which we hope can help clinicians manage the complications of filler injections for breast augmentation.
