Frailty is a condition marked by a progressive decline in physiological functioning due to aging, leading to increased disease morbidity and rising healthcare costs. Therefore, it is important to prevent frailty through proper management. Not only does a lack of physical activity contribute to frailty, but inadequate dietary intake, resulting from decreased appetite and malabsorption, is also a significant risk factor. This study aimed to develop a 16-week algorithm to assess the nutritional risks associated with frailty, provide personalized nutritional solutions, and manage frailty risk factors through continuous monitoring and periodic reassessment. A total of 20 indicators were selected to create a nutritional health score. The selected indicators encompassed nutritional risk factors for frailty, disease history, and hematological factors. Reassessments were designed to occur at four-week intervals to revise personalized management goals and adjust solutions. Metrics were prioritized to provide a personalized solution. A user-friendly monitoring system was developed that leveraged voice recognition technology to determine compliance. It is anticipated that the algorithm will serve several purposes. First, this outcome will allow us to help prevent and delay the onset of frailty by utilizing a mobile app. Second, it will reduce the time and economic costs associated with nutritional management. Finally, it will facilitate future professional counseling and monitoring.

Objectives: ：Among the various risk factors for suicide, geographic factors have different effects on males and females. This study aimed to identify differences between genders in spatiotemporal dependence and spatiotemporal patterns of suicide mortality over the preceding decade. Methods: ：This research analyzed the age-adjusted suicide mortality rate per 100,000 population, spanning from 2012 to 2021, for intentional suicides across each administrative district (229 Si, Gun, Gu) in Korea. Data were sourced from the National Statistical Office of the Korean Statistical Information Service. The Moran’s I in-dex for spatial autocorrelation of the suicide mortality rates was computed. An emerging hot spot analysis was conducted to examine the community-level spatiotemporal distribution patterns, thus providing insight into the re-gional clustering characteristics that reflect the temporal-spatial clusters of suicide mortality rates. Results: ：TIn males, the Moran’s I indices were almost above 0 (p-value<0.05) for most years, indicating sig-nificant spatial autocorrelation. Conversely, no significant regional clustering was observed among females dur-ing the same period. The emerging hot spot analysis, focusing on the temporal trends in the spatial distributionof male suicide mortality rates from 2012 to 2021, identified two distinct time series patterns and a total of 12 hot spot areas: seven new spots and five sporadic spots. Conclusions ：This study is the first to intuitively demonstrate the disparities in spatiotemporal dependencies and patterns of suicide mortality rates in Korea between genders. The findings highlight the necessity for tailoredsuicide prevention strategies that are sensitive to gender differences.

Purpose: This study examined the characteristics and outcomes of resective epilepsy surgery following corpus callosotomy (CC) in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 17 children with LGS who underwent resective surgery (RS) after CC over a span of 10 years, with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up, at a single tertiary epilepsy center in Korea. Results: Of the 17 patients, 13 (73.5%) demonstrated favorable surgical outcomes (Engel class I or II) at 1 year after RS, and eight (47.1%) were ultimately free of seizures 2 years after surgery. A significantly larger decrease in the number of anti-seizure medications taken from before to 2 years after the final surgical procedure was observed in the group that became seizure-free than in the group with persistent seizures (P=0.062). Furthermore, a significantly greater decline in daily adaptive function was found in the persistent seizure group (P=0.059). The baseline characteristics, results of presurgical evaluation, and treatment-related factors assessed prior to surgery showed no significant differences between the seizure-free group and the group with persistent seizures. Conclusion In conclusion, RS may be a viable option for patients with LGS who exhibit lateralization and/or localization on presurgical evaluation after CC, as the procedure may reveal a concealed primary focus. The proactive implementation of two-stage epilepsy surgery could provide significant seizure reduction and preservation of cognitive function in carefully selected patients with LGS.
