Compression ulnar neuropathy was predicted by Guyon in 1961,following his anatomical studies of the ulnar tunnel. Nearly a half century later Ramsey Hunt first reported isolated ulnar motor paralysis in the hand, due to chronic occupational trauma. Many authors has tried to describe the etiology of the ulnar nerve compression syndrome at or around the wrist. That is most frequently caused by ganglion, occupational neuritis, thrombosis of the ulnar artery, thickening of volar ligament or different kinds of trauma (e.g. fractures of the carpal bones). Now we experienced a case of the ulnar nerve compression syndrome at distal forearm by an anomalous branch of the ulnar nerve by piercing the distal tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris.

For measurement of the degree of osteoporosis, various methods have been used. The Saville's index of the lumbar spine is very simple method. With the object of studying the reliability and clinical usefulness of Saville's index, authors compared the Saville's index with anteroposterior(A.P.) and lateral Dual x-ray absorptiometry, and the Singh's index with the anteroposterior D.X.A. We took the D.X.A. and simple lumbar spine lateral view in 124 patients in same time and also performed D.X.A. and both hips anteroposterior views in 112 patients, then analyzed the correlation between the A.P. and lateral D.X.A., Saville's index and D.X.A., Singh's index and D.X.A. The results were as follows. 1. The correlation coefficient of the A.P. and lateral D.X.A. was 0.46 and appeared the low degree of correlation. 2. The correlation coefficient of the A.P. and lateral D.X.A. compared with Saville's index were 0.68 and 0.83, respectively. Saville's index appeared the higher correlation in lateral D.X.A. than A.P. D.X.A. 3. The correlation coefficient of Singh's index and D.X.A. was 0.84, appeared nearly the same results of Saville's index with lateral D.X.A. 4. Intrapersonal differences were 36% in Saville's index, 28% in Singh's index. Saville's index appeared higher intrapersonal error than Singh's index. The lateral D.X.A. is more accurate and precise method than A.P. D.X.A. because lateral D.X.A. reduces the influence of soft tissue calcification and degenerative changes of spine. As Saville's index is a grading method based on lateral view of lumbar spine, we think that it should be compared with the lateral D.X.A. Regarding this results, authors suggest that Saville's index is not any accurate measurement of bone quantity, but has clinical usefulness for evaluation of osteroporosis.

There are many controversies concerning therapeutic guidelines for the treatment of Kienbock's disease. We experienced 17 cases of stage II or III Kienbock's disease(Lichtman's classification), which were treated with triscaphe fusion from March 1983 to March 1992. The mean Follow-up peri- od was 25 months. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiological result of triscaphe fusion of 17 cases of Kienbock's disease. 1. The pain was relieved in all cases, but range of motion was not improved after operation. 2. The postoperative results of triscaphe fusion were evaluated by Licthman's method. 9 cases (53%) were rated as satisfactory and 8 cases as unsatisfactory. 75%(3 cases of 4) were rated sat isfactory in IIIA a group and 22%(2 casaes of 9) were rated satisfactory in IIIB group. 3. The psudoarthrosis was noted in 2 cases of 17.

OBJECTIVE: According to development of web service technology and mobile device supply, mobile web service becomes an essential element of ubiquitous healthcare. But there are many constraints for offering mobile web services on mobile devices. Hence, this paper propose optimal system supplying web services about medical information in wired /wireless network according to resources of device. METHODS: Proposed system consists of web server, database, desktop subscriber, mobile device and mobile context server. When a mobile device requires the web service, a mobile context server rewrites and offers the equivalent contents provided from web server to suit the requiring device's resource. Our proposed system services the same medical information after its recomposition as the network and devices of user. RESULTS: The medical staff may require patient information in wired/wireless environment, web server and mobile context server supports their correct judgment and expeditious response by servicing optimized data of the patient according to the requiring device. CONCLUSION: Proposed system designed the wired/wireless integrated medical information system using web service and mobile web service as the bases of ubiquitous healthcare system. Not only for web service in wired network, to provide the optimal web service in wireless network, we should know the limited resource of mobile devices and appropriately divide the web contents of wired network to fit the mobile device's screen. The future research needs dynamic division of screen according to extension of medical information data.

BACKGROUND: Hemoptysis is a common clinical symptom, responsible for 11% of admission to the hospital chest service. Correct diagnosis, accurate localization of the bleeding source and proper management are imperative to reduce the risk of massive hemoptysis. We performed the study to define the optimal time of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in 63 patients with hemoptysis admitted to Kyung Hee University Hospital between Aug 1989 and Aug1992. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of medical records concerning the cause, amount, duration of hemoptysis and the timing of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in 63(M:F=36:27) patients. RESULTS: 1) The main causes of hemoptysis were pulmonary tuberculosis(52.4%) bronchiectasis(27.0%) and lung cancer(11.1%). 2) The bleeding sites were localized in 26 Patients(41.3%). 3) The rates of localization of bleeding site were not related to the amount and duration of hemoptysis. 4) The rates of localization of bleeding site were 61.8%(21/34) during hemoptysis,18.2%(122) within 24hr after resolution of hemoptysis, 14.3%(1/7) thereafter. CONCLUSION: Early bronchoscopy, especially during hemoptysis may show higher rates of successful localization than delayed bronchoscopy.
