To improve the quality of life of children suffering from CCCs and to support their families who face enormous distress, children with CCCs should be able to access adequate palliative care services. Health authorities should consider supporting the establishment of PPC centers and increasing PPC accessibility in Korea.

To improve the dimensional properties of wool fabric, two kinds of silicone polymers are applied to plasma pretreated wool. With this treatment, hygral expansion increases slightly but still remains smaller than that of silicone treated wool without the plasma pretreatment. The wrinkle recovery angles of wool increase with the treatment, and the values of fabric treated with plasma and silicone polymers are higher than those with no plasma pretreatment. In addition, the harsher handle imparted b

Background: Pediatric palliative care (PPC) is the active total care of children suffering from life-threatening illnesses. Palliative care includes symptom management, psychosocial support, and end-of-life care. Despite significant advances in disease diagnosis and treatment, resources for PPC of children with serious illnesses are limited in Korea. This study aimed to investigate the scale, time trends, disease composition, regional distribution, and unmet needs of children dying from complex

We identified barriers to maternal and child healthcare and coping strategies among African refugee mothers in Korea. Future research should assess refugees' health status and improve health access and literacy among refugee mothers.

The pediatricians differed in their experiences and attitudes toward advance care planning based on their subspecialty. Consequently, institutional support and education should be provided to physicians so that they can include children and families in discussions on prognosis.

Our findings indicate that physicians and the general public in Korea differ in their perceptions about informing children of poor prognosis.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Despite advances in medical technology, resources for pediatric palliative care (PPC) for children with serious illnesses are limited in South Korea. Physicians' awareness of and willingness to provide general palliative care and refer to specialized palliative care are key elements for providing PPC. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to explore physicians' perceptions of PPC and the differences therein between nononcologists and oncologists. <b><i>Desi

연구배경: 렙틴과 갑상선호르몬은 에너지대사 조절 측면에서 유사한 작용을 가진다. 렙틴이 시상하부-뇌하수체-갑상선 축을 활성화시킨다는 사실은 잘 알려져 있으나, 갑상선호르몬이 렙틴에 미치는 영향은 아직 명확히 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 단기간의 갑상선 기능 변화에 따른 혈중 렙틴 농도의 변화를 연구하고자 수행되었다. 방법: 6～8주령의 수컷 Wistar 렛트에 갑상선제거술을 시행함으로써 갑상선기능저하증을 유발하였고, 수술 8일째 희생시켰다. 갑상선기능저항진증을 유발하기 위해서 Wistar 렛트에 L-T3(50g/100g body weight/day)을 5일간 피하로 주사하였다. 연구기간 동안 매일 체중과 먹이섭취량을 측정하였고, 연구종료 후 혈액을 채취하여 혈중 갑상선호르몬과 렙틴 농도를 측정하였다. 각 군은 사망 당시의 체중과 연구기간 동안 먹이섭취량을 일치시킨 대조군과 비교하였다. 결과: 갑상선기능항진군의 평균 먹이섭취량은 대조군인 자유식이군과 차이가 없었으나 사망당시 체중은

Background: It is difficult to decide whether to inform the child of the incurable illness. We investigated attitudes of the general population and physicians toward prognosis disclosure to children and associated factors in Korea. Methods: Physicians working in one of 13 university hospitals or the National Cancer Center and members of the general public responded to the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of the age appropriate for informing children about the prognosis and the reason w

관광에 대한 학문적 실무적 관심과 소비가 지속적으로 증가하고 있음에 따라 본 연구에서는 최근 약 6년간의 관광분야 주요 등재지에 실린 키워드 데이터를 이용하여 국내 관광연구 동향과 지식구조를 정리해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 첫 번째, 관광분야의 대표적인 국내 저널들을 선정하고 저널에 게재된 논문 별 키워드를 추출하였다. 두 번째, 동일한 논문에 동시 등장한 키워드들을 링크로 연결하여 키워드 네트워크를 구성하였다. 마지막으로, 여러 논문에서 동시에 키워드로 사용된 키워드들 간의 유사성 분석을 통해 관광 논문들에서 가장 자주 사용된 주요 키워드를 추출하고 전체 네트워크에 대한 컴포넌트 분석을 통해 거시적인 관광연구동향 및 지식구조를 파악하였다. 분석 결과, 국내 관광연구 주제들은 몇몇 주제에 고착되어 있지 않고 빠르고 다양하게 변화하는 양상을 보인다고 할 수 있다. 물론 조직이나 종사원 차원의 주제와 같이 지속적으로 선호되는 연구주제들도 있지만 시간이 지남에 따라 연구대상의 내재적, 외

Paediatric patients with more complex chronic conditions tended to have higher mortality rates within 2 years after surgery. However, receiving home healthcare nursing was significantly associated with a reduced risk of death. Many causes of hospitalisation may be preventable with education and supportive care. Therefore, further research for establishing an integrated care system for these patients and their caregivers is required.

We present optimized sample preparation and staining protocols for the visualization of three-dimensional macrostructure in the human brain.

Family care partners of pALS spend more than half of each day caring for patients and are often depressed. Most cALS preferred providing care at home, but felt ill-prepared. Designing home-based medical care is necessary for pALS to thrive at home.
