STUDY DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort study. OBJECTIVE: In this study, an educational and interactive informed consent (EIC) program was proposed for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy caused by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL-CSM) to improve their comprehension level during the informed consent process. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: OPLL-CSM is a slow progressive disease, and it is difficult for patients to understand the disease. Few studies have eva

What is currently known about this topic? 1. The TyG index is associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease in both patients with type 2 diabetes and the general population. What is the key research question? 1. Could the TyG index also be utilized to assess insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease risk in patients with type 1 diabetes? What is new? 1. In patients with type 1 diabetes, those in the higher TyG quartile showed a higher prevalence of metabolic dysfunction such

A good death is an important concept in pediatric palliative care. To improve the quality of pediatric palliative care, it is imperative to identify which domain is most important for a good death among children with cancer and their parents. This study aimed to (1) assess the essential domains for a good death from the perspectives of parents whose children have cancer using the Good Death Inventory (GDI) and (2) examine which characteristics are associated with the perception of a good death.

대인관계에 있어서 어떤 사람은 환경이나 상황에 맞추어행동을 하는 반면, 어떤 사람은 주변을 신경 쓰지 않고 자신의 소신대로 행동한다. 본 연구는 이러한 개인의 성향에 주목하여 사람들의 자기감시와 자기애가 의복 관여도, 화장품 관여도, 의복 구매행동 및 화장품 구매행동에 어떠한 영향을미치는지 알아보았다. 20-30대 남녀 소비자를 대상으로 한온라인 설문 결과 자기감시와 자기애는 의복관여도에 유의한영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 자기감시는 화장품관여도에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았고, 자기애는 화장품관여도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 의복과 달리 화장품에 대해서는 자기감시보다는 자기에가 관련성이 큰 것으로 나타났는데, 자기애가 높은 사람일수록 화장품에 더 많이관여하고, 화장품을 자주 구매하며, 화장품에 지출을 많이 한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 기업은 의복과 화장품을 판매하는데있어서 소비자의 행동을 결정하는 자기감시와 자기애 변인의다면적인 영향을 이해해야 할 것이다. 자기애

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is one of the most common cancers in children. Multi-drug chemotherapy is used for treatment, and the representative drug is vincristine. Although various side effects may occur due to vincristine, the association with peripheral neuropathy is high compared to that of other drugs. This study focused on children under the age of 18 years of age with ALL who received chemotherapy containing vincristine. We retrospectively analyzed the results of a nerve conduction study

Background: Pediatric hematology and oncology disease is a physically and emotionally demanding health condition for families. High self-esteem and ego-resilience among caregivers, which have recently gained increased recognition, might help ease caregiver burdens. Few studies, however, have simultaneously investigated the relationships between self-esteem, ego-resilience, and caregiver burden among caregivers of children with hematologic and oncologic disease. Objective: The purpose of this stu

The effect of growth hormone (GH) therapy in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients, particularly in terms of safety profile and efficacy on growth, has been widely investigated.1, 2 GH therapy has shown proven efficacy in treating glucocorticoid-induced growth retardation by positively affecting bone mass and body composition without evident systemic disease activity flare or local musculoskeletal complications. We recently experienced an interesting case with JIA which prompted considera

INTRODUCTION: Pneumatosis intestinalis is characterized by air in the subserosal or submucosal layer of the intestine, with the severity ranging from mild and asymptomatic to symptomatic with serious conditions such as intestinal ischemia and perforation requiring surgery. Although several etiologies, including those from conventional chemotherapy agents and molecular target agents, have been suggested, blinatumomab-related pneumatosis intestinalis is quite rare. CASE REPORT: An 11-year-old girl

BACKGROUND: People with diabetes have increased suicide risk. However, it is unclear whether those with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have a higher risk than those with cancer, a disease associated with significant psychological stress and suicide risk. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate suicide risk among adults with T1D compared to matched cohorts of patients with cancer and the general population. METHODS: This population-based matched-cohort study examined adults aged ≥19 years (45,944 with T1D and 45,944 with

OBJECTIVES: To study the influence of the cochleariform process abutment (CPA) of early congenital cholesteatomas (CC) (ECCs) on surgical outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case review. SETTING: University hospital otology referral clinic. PATIENTS: Two hundred consecutive pediatric ECC patients. INTERVENTIONS: The patients were classified into three groups based on the temporal bone computed tomography (TBCT) findings of ECC: A) the absence of CPA, B) the presence of CPA, and C) the presence

본 논문은 기존에 널리 사용되는 바이트코드(bytecode) 중심의 안드로이드 어플리케이션 코드 난독화 방법과 달리임의의 안드로이드 어플리케이션의 DEX 파일 자체를 추출하여 암호화하고, 암호화한 파일을 임의의 폴더에 저장한 후코드를 수행하기 위한 로더 앱을 만드는 방법을 제시한다. 이벤트 처리 정보를 은닉하기 위하여, 로더 앱 내부의 암호화된 DEX 파일은 원본 코드와 Manifest 정보 일부를 포함한다. 로더 앱의 Manifest는 원본 앱의 Manifest 정보 중에서 암호화된 클래스에 포함되지 않은 정보만을 기재하였다. 제안기법을 사용시, 첫째로 공격자는 백신을 우회하기 위해 난독화된 코드를 포함한 악성코드 제작이 가능하고, 둘째로 프로그램 제작자의 입장에서는 제안기법을 이용하여 저작권 보호를 위해 핵심 알고리즘을 은폐하는 어플리케이션 제작이 가능하다. 안드로이드 버전 4.4.2(Kitkat)에서 프로토타입을 구현하고 바이러스 토탈을 이용하여 악성코드 난독화 능력을 점검해서

Erythropoietin and iron have individually shown beneficial effects on early-phase liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy (PHx); however, there are limited data on the combined effect on late-phase liver regeneration after PHx. Here we examined combined effects of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO, 3,000 IU/kg) and iron isomaltoside (IIM, 40 mg/kg) on late-phase liver regeneration following PHx and investigated the possible underlying mechanism. Rats administrated with rhEPO showe

This study aims to investigate the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) across different categories of steatotic liver disease (SLD). Using a health examination database between 2009 and 2012, this study included 2,480,880 patients. Participants were categorized into five groups based on hepatic steatosis (fatty liver index ≥ 60), cardiometabolic risk factors, and alcohol consumption. Cox regression analyses were performed. The metab
