BACKGROUND: Stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) are used as indicators of fluid responsiveness, but little is known about the usefulness of these dynamic preload indicators in thoracic surgery, which involves an open thoracic cavity and 1-lung ventilation (OLV). Therefore, we investigated whether SVV and PPV could predict fluid responsiveness, and whether the thresholds of these parameters should be adjusted for thoracic surgery. METHODS: This was a prospective, cont

The effect of repeat oral doses of ritonavir, at high (600 mg twice daily) and low (100 mg twice daily) doses, on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of bupropion was evaluated in healthy volunteers. Subjects received a single dose of 150 mg of bupropion on day 1 and twice-daily ritonavir from day 8 through day 30. Ritonavir was up-titrated from 300 mg twice daily to 600 mg twice daily in the high-dose ritonavir study, whereas subjects remained on 100 mg twice-daily ritonavir in low-dose riton

India has been often depicted as the land of the past in travel literature. The Korean travelers of the 21th century are adding to such discourse, regarding India as a mysterious place. However, the reality of India is quite different from what the traveler had hoped to see. Disappointed in not being able to find the absolute peace they had imagined, the travelers come to judge them as barbarious, as their inferior. In some travel narratives, the exact 'barbarians' are transformed into 'noble' s

하인즈 인수 핑클의 『내 귀신 형의 기억』(1996)과 노라 옥자 켈러의 『여우 소녀』(2002) 는 한국 기지촌 여성들의 이야기를 다룬다. 핑클과 켈러는 한국 전통 민화인 구미호 이야기를 차용하여 자신들의 소설 속에 삽입함으로서 구미호 이미지와 기지촌 여성들의 이미지를 연계하여 소설을 풀어 간다. 흥미로운 것은 이 두 작품이 같은 뿌리에서 뻗어 나온 민화를 차용하고 있음에도 불구하고 그 민화를 소설 속 이야기꾼이 어떤 의도로, 어떤 형태로 청자에게 전하느냐에 따라 전혀 다른 메시지를 담게 된다는 점이다. 즉, 같은 구미호의 이야기라도 변주에 따라 가부장적일수도, 혹은 여성에게 가부장적인 사회를 비꼬아 비판하는 전복적인 것이 될 수 있다. 핑클의 소설에서 이야기꾼인 형부는, 구미호를 이유 없이 사람들을 잡아먹는 악한 존재로 그린다. 이러한 서술은 당시 팽배했던 남성 중심적인 사고방식을 그대로 나타낸다. 남성들의 입장에서 구미호는, 남편의 권위를 인정하지 않으며 자신의 욕망을 좇아 거

In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley elaborates on how 'monsters' are made and examines how Frankenstein and the society at large coerce the unnamed creature to become a monster. Throughout the novel, Shelley deals with how an identity is given by the society. The creature himself is employed as the narrator who speaks against the arguments of his creator. While Frankenstein believes that innate evilness of his creation would only harm humankind, the creature counter argues by pointing out that his 'ev

Background: This study purposed to analyze regional factors related to gastric cancer screening rate provided by national cancer screening program in Korea. Methods: The unit of analysis was administrative districts of si∙gun∙gu level. Dependent variable was regional gastric cancer screening rate provided by national cancer screening program, and regional variables were selected to represent the regional characteristics such as demographic, health behavior and status, socioeconomic, and health r

Rape is a form of gender-based violence in which the line between coercion and consent is frequently blurred or contested. What happens when a court system broadens its definition of rape to include a broader range of coercive and potentially nonconsensual behaviors? In recent decades, South Korean courts have shifted the scope of coercion required for rape convictions, expanding from direct to indirect force to cover a broader range of rape cases. In this article, I investigate what has and has

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the individually perceived quality of life in Korean patients with BMS using two questionnaires : the Medical Outcome Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-49). This cross-sectional study included sixty subjects diagnosed with BMS and sixty healthy subjects as controls. All subjects in this study completed two questionnaires: the Medical Outcome Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) and the Oral

The infamous murder of the Papin sisters aroused the attention of not only popular media of the time, but of psychoanalysts such as Jacques Lacan and literary figures like Jean Genet and Wendy Kesselman. Journalists in Papins’ time defined maids’ madness and sexual perversity as the most significant cause of the murder. Such was to relieve the fear of the employers of maids--they needed to believe that not all maids are dangerous. Similarly, psychoanalysts focused on the mental disorder of the s

골수염이란 엄밀히 따지면 수질골 부위의 염증을 의미하지만 대개 피질골, 골막까지 함께 이환된다. 급성에서는 주로 통증과 간헐적인 고열, 하순의 감각 저하, 통증 등의 임상적 양상이 나타날 수 있고, 초기에 발견되지 못하거나 적절한 치료가 이루어지지 않는다면 만성 골수염으로 진행되게 된다. 골수염은 치료 시기가 늦어질수록 치료에 대한 반응이 더디거나 예후가 좋지 않을 수 있고, 병리학적 골절 등 합병증 또한 증가하기 때문에 발생 초기 단계에서 세심한 병력 청취와 주의 깊은 임상 검사가 필수적이다. 본 증례에서처럼 측두하악장애 유사 증상으로만 나타나더라도 통상적인 관련 치료에 반응하지 않고 악화되는 경우, 통상적인 안면 방사선사진 외에 방사선 동위원소를 사용한 골스캔 촬영이나 전산화 단층촬영 등 부가적인 진단 검사를 적극적으로 시행하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper explores the dystopian visions presented in Charlie Brooker’s “Nosedive” and Ken Liu’s “The Perfect Match,” delving into their unsettling portrayals of a future (or parallel present) that challenges the optimistic narratives tech giants tend to spin about digitally augmented, eternally connected world. Both narratives, featuring worlds run by corporations resembling Meta and Google, prompt reflection on how personal online behaviors contribute to a dehumanizing surveillance structure
