This study compares path models of emotional distress among three groups of caregivers for elderly patients with dementia: 64 Koreans residing in Korea, and 53 Korean-Americans and 54 White-Americans living in the USA. The results support a common core model throughout the three groups: patient's disruptive behavior leads to caregiver burden, which then affects caregivers' depression and anxiety. Instrumental support was found to be an important factor for Korean caregivers and emotional support

Our study recorded haematological and serum biochemical values, and prevalence of selected pathogens in feral cat populations from two different habitat types. A subset of important laboratory parameters from rural cats showed values under or above the corresponding reference intervals for healthy domestic cats, suggesting potential differences in the health status of feral cats depending on the habitat type. Our findings provide information about the association between 1) blood values (haemato

잡곡을 이용한 식혜의 제조 적성을 확인하기 위해 조, 기장, 수수를 이용하여 식혜를 제조하고 제조된 식혜의 이화학적 특성을 확인하였다. 잡곡 원료의 일반성분은 멥쌀과 찹쌀에 비해 수분 함량은 적지만 회분과 조단백, 조지방 함량은 높았다. 원료곡의 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 동안메가 일품과 백옥찰보다 2배 이상 높았고, DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거 활성 또한 동안메가 높게 나타났다. 잡곡별로 제조된 식혜의 pH에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었으며, 탁도는 대부분 0.5 이하의 값을 나타낸 반면 동안메는 1.07로 높게 나타났다. 당도는 찹쌀과 멥쌀에 비해 낮았으며 기장, 수수, 조 순으로 나타났다. 명도와 적색도는 동안메가 가장 높았고, 황색도는 노란색을 띠는 삼다메가 높은 수치를 보였다. 식혜의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 동안메와 삼다메 식혜가 각각 258 및 241 μg GAE/mL로 높게 나타났으며, 플라보노이드 함량은 동안메 식혜가 54.30 μg CE/mL로 높았다.

A composite graft and palmar pocketing in adult cases of fingertip injury constitute a simple, reliable operation for digital amputation extending from the tip to the lunula. These methods had satisfactory results.

Academic integrity guarantees the professional integrity and validity of the education and qualifications offered by the veterinary schools. In this study, we analyzed the responses of 528 veterinary students of two veterinary schools in Seoul regarding their awareness about, knowledge of, and frequency of engaging in academic misconduct. A total of 88.4 percent of the participants agreed that cheating and plagiarism by undergraduates would influence their future academic misconduct. The most co

The treatment of intraosseous ateriovenous malformation in the jaw is difficult because of life threatening frequent bleeding tendency. The surgical resection of AVM may be mortal due to massive blood loss .In the growing pediatric patient, surgery may cause facial deformity and growth disturbance. So currently, the treatment of AVM is only embolization using various material through endovascular access, direct-puncture or embolization in conjunction with surgical resection. We report a case of

Due to their professional abilities, veterinarians have a duty to reduce animal abuse. Therefore, it is crucial to understand their attitude and behavior on encountering animal abuse cases. We analyzed the responses from completed questionnaires (<i>n</i> = 593) filled by small and large animal practitioners in South Korea. The majority (<i>n</i> = 513, 86.5%) of the respondents witnessed suspected animal abuse cases in their practice. The female participants, small animal practitioners, and you

This first survey of small animal veterinarians in Korea explores demographic patterns, previous learning experiences, and program preferences for continuing veterinary medical education (CVME). Data were analyzed to identify and describe learning needs and preferences. Respondents' average CVME hours (38.4 hours/year) exceeded the mandatory 10 hours per year. Almost all respondents recognized the importance of CVME. Lack of time and travel distance were identified as significant barriers to CVM

p21WAF1/Cip1 acts as a key negative regulator of cell cycle progression, which can form complexes with cyclin-dependent kinases together with specific cyclins to induce cell cycle arrest at specific stages. p21 protein levels have been shown to be regulated primarily through phosphorylation and ubiquitination during various stages of the cell cycle. Although phosphorylation and ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation of p21 have been well established, other post-translational modifications t

Veterinarians are constantly challenged by ethical issues at their work places. A survey in November 2018 investigated perception of importance and frequency of veterinary ethical issues in Korea (n=782). Antimicrobial abuse, negligence of sick animals, violation in animal products sanitary standards, inappropriate discounting of veterinary service fee, and not making referral in the purpose of securing self-profit were listed as most frequent ethical issues faced by veterinarians. Unfair critic

Antimicrobial (AM) resistance is a growing threat in human and veterinary medicine, spreading across species and perceived as One-Health issue. Prudent use of AM products is essential in mitigating this risk in both human and veterinary medicine. Farm veterinarians, responsible for prescribing appropriate AM and offering advice to farmers on their proper usage, are regarded as key players in the livestock industry. An online survey of farm veterinarians (n = 1,531) was conducted to assess their

For over 40 years, the human consumption of dog meat has been a controversial issue in South Korea. While some defend it as cultural tradition, others criticize the act as unethical treatment of dogs. This study examined the public perceptions and opinions driving the legislative efforts to ban dog meat through an online survey of 1000 participants assessing their experiences with dog meat, awareness of related issues, and support for institutional bans. The results revealed a widespread negativ

Rabies became one of the critical zoonoses in the modern urban environment since pet keeping culture became widespread in the Western countries in the 18th century. The sanitary policy against rabies was a forceful tool for the colonial rulers in the 19th century. This study describes the rabies outbreaks in the context of prevention methods, experts' engagement and the public response to the policies based on the statistics, regulations and newspaper articles on rabies in Korea during the Japan
