AIM: This study investigated the use of fat fraction (FF) measurements in the sacroiliac (SI) joint to determine radiologic progression in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). METHOD: A total of 138 patients who underwent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between September 2014 and March 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. The FF based upon fat deposition (%) using fat signaling on T1 and T2 weighted images in the sacroiliac joint was quantified using a 6-echo variant of the modified Di

Retropharyngeal calcific tendinitis is defined as inflammation of the longus colli muscle and is caused by the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals, which usually involves the superior oblique fibers of the longus colli muscle from C1-3. Diagnosis is usually made by detecting amorphous calcification and prevertebral soft tissue swelling on radiograph, CT or MRI. In this report, we introduce a case of this disease which was misdiagnosed as a retropharyngeal tuberculous abscess, or a musc

Estimation of health-related physical fitness (HRPF) levels of individuals is indispensable for providing personalized training programs in smart fitness services. In this study, we propose an artificial neural network (ANN)-based estimation model to predict HRPF levels of the general public using simple affordable physical information. The model is designed to use seven inputs of personal physical information, including age, gender, height, weight, percent body fat, waist circumference, and bod

Medial folds of the PCL are normal synovial structures that can be seen by MRI and in cadaveric studies in a large proportion of the population.

While normal costal cartilages are known to be homogenous in attenuation on computed tomography (CT), they frequently show internal low attenuation. This study was performed to assess CT features of the low attenuation and to correlate them with histological features. Chest CT scans of 80 patients without chest wall abnormalities in the first eight decades of age with ten consecutive patients in each decade were reviewed. Histological examinations and CT of three costal cartilage specimens, one

Simultaneous laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer and coexisting abdominal disease is shown to be feasible. However, simultaneous laparoscopic colorectal resection and nephrectomy is rarely documented, and its feasibility is unknown. We report two cases of simultaneous colorectal resection for colorectal cancer and nephrectomy. In the first case, a 71-year-old female underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for an ascending colon cancer and left nephrectomy for a left non-functioning kid

건설 공사의 궁극적인 목표는 주어진 공사를 요구된 공사기간내에 설계도서에 명시된 품질 기준을 만족시키면서 가장 경제적이고 안전하게 완성하는데 있다. 마감공사는 공종이 세분화되어매우 다양하고 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있으며 적정 투입 시점에 대한 세부 공종별 기준이 없고, 선후행 작업간의 우선 순위의 정립의 필요성이 약한 것이 특징이다. 본 연구는 마감공사 작업지연을최소화하기 위하여 마감공사 세부 공종별 작업지연 우선 순위를선정하여 소요 공기에 맞추어 프로젝트를 완료할 수 있는 정보를제공하는 것이 목적이다. 본 연구에서 마감공사를 습식공사와 기타 마감공사로 나누어 각 공종별 내역을 기반으로 중요도를 분류하고, 설문을 통해 설계자, 시공자, 협력업체의 작업지연 요인을분석하여 최종 작업지연 우선 순위를 선정하여 계획 공사기간 내에 공동주택 프로젝트를 완료할 수 있는 정보를 제공하는데 목적이 있다.

Bus delay time is occurred as the result of traffic condition and important factor to predict bus arrival time. In this paper, transition probability matrixes between bus stops are made by using Markov Chain and it is predicted bus delay time with them. As the results of study, it is confirmed a possibility of adapting the assumption which it has same bus transition probability between stops through paired-samples T-test and overcame the limitation of exiting studies in case there is no schedule

In apartments, cost of finishing work comprises a large part of gross construction costs, and also subcontractors put in apartment finishing work outnumber those put for its structure construction by far. As various processes take place at the same time, period of construction widely differs depending on management ability of the constructors. But in most cases, a difference between plan and outcome is caused by incorrect process plan and inefficiency of process management during finishing work.

The spine and sacroiliac joint are involved in most cases of axial spondyloarthritis. Several pathologic findings from a ra-diography involving the spine and sacroiliac joint are the di-agnostic hallmarks of axial spondyloarthritis. However, these radiographic changes reflect structural damage rather than active inflammation, which may delay diagnosis by several years. Nowadays, the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis inter-national Society (ASAS) has focused on the reassessment of existing classifi

Abstract Exoskeleton technology has gained great interests in several fields including robotics, medicine, rehabilitation, ergonomics, and military. Especially, upper-limb exoskeletons are developed aiming to increase worker’s physical ability such as stability, force and power production and reduce biomechanical loads, working fatigue, which relieves overexertion risk. Extensive research has been conducted to assess existing and newly proposed exoskeletons, but they still have trade-off and use
