We analyzed reports for 59,073 contacts of 5,706 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) index patients reported in South Korea during January 20-March 27, 2020. Of 10,592 household contacts, 11.8% had COVID-19. 48,481 nonhousehold 1.9% Use personal protective measures and social distancing reduces the likelihood transmission.
Objective Transmissibility of COVID-19 by children in the household is not clear. Herein, we describe children’s role transmission COVID-19. Design and setting All paediatric index cases their members reported from 20 January to 6 April 2020 South Korea were reviewed. The secondary attack rate (SAR) child case was calculated. Epidemiological clinical findings case-household pair assessed. Results A total 107 248 identified. One index-secondary identified, giving a SAR 0.5% (95% CI 0.0%...
Between January 24th and March 10th, a total of 2,370 individuals had contact with the first 30 cases COVID-19. There were 13 who contracted COVID-19 resulting in secondary attack rate 0.55% (95% CI 0.31-0.96). 119 household contacts, which 9 developed 7.56% 3.7-14.26).
A 14-day quarantine is implemented in many countries response to the coronavirus disease pandemic. Korea a mandatory for those who had close contact with infected patients and returning from abroad.

From February 11 July 5, 2020, 19,296 people were self-quarantined, 56 (0.3%) them confirmed cases COVID-19. Twenty (35.7%) identified through reporting symptoms during quarantine, 32 (57.1%)...
This study describes the epidemiological characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on reported cases from long-term care facilities. As April 20th, 2020, 3 facilities in a metropolitan area South Korea had COVID-19. These facilities' employees were presumed to be sources infection. There 2 nursing hospitals that did not report any additional cases. One home total 25 cases, with an attack rate 51.4% (95% CI 35.6-67.0), and fatality 38.9% 20.3-61.4) among residents. The...
During the last two years, hundreds of millions people in world have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 due to recurrent waves and closed spaces. Daycare centers are critical infrastructures that cannot be replaced, even during COVID-19 period. However, existing settings daycare may pose risks inevitable close contact between teachers children, as well fomite airborne transmission care hours. Therefore, reinforced mitigation strategies applied reduce potential indoor virus transfer many...
Contact investigation is an important and effective active case-finding strategy, but there a lack of research on congregate settings in countries with intermediate incidence. This study determined the incidence risk factors for tuberculosis (TB) development after exposure settings. retrospective cohort included 116,742 contacts identified during 2,609 TB cases diagnosed from January to December 2015. We searched Korean National Tuberculosis Surveillance System registry identify that...
Objectives: Between July 2, 2021, and September 20, 2022, a Mycobacterium bovis outbreak occurred among exhibition animals at zoo in the Republic of Korea. This study was conducted to assess likelihood M. transmission human contacts through contact investigation implement preventive treatment for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).Methods: In this descriptive study, Korea Disease Control Prevention Agency investigation, which included interviews, interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA)...
This study aimed to check the status of contact investigation in congregate settings eradicate tuberculosis (TB) Republic Korea.The "Integrated System for Disease and Public Health Management" is used care follow-up patients contacts TB. We downloaded data investigations conducted from January December 2013.A total 1,200 were carried out by 25 field investigators 2013. performed investigation, TB, LTBI rate age, accept treatment, complete treatment during A 1,547 index TB patients, 149,166...

In this study, we compare four countries (the U.S., Australia, Japan, Korea) provide suggestions improving Korea. Results All had system, basic structure of Korea was similar others. However, there were differences practical operation processes use results. process, Korea's monitoring...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional effects temporalis myofascial flap after condylectomy, with or without disc removal, in elderly patients anterior displacement (ADD) reduction and an erosive condylar surface temporomandibular joint (TMJ).A total 15 joints from 11 (71-78 years old) were included. had pain, mandibular dysfunction symptoms, unilateral bilateral ADD as well TMJ. All underwent reconstruction removal. If maximal mouth opening (MMO) remained <35 mm...

Background In the Republic of Korea (ROK), compared to other high-income countries, tuberculosis (TB) prevalence is relatively high. Active TB and latent infection (LTBI) surveillance individuals living in TB-affected households has been conducted for several years. Although active case finding an important strategy low-prevalence, its effectiveness a high setting unclear.

The step derivative of a complex function can be defined with various methods. direction defines basis that is distinct from number; the then treated by using Taylor series expansion in this direction. In study, we define derivatives based on numbers and quaternions are orthogonal to while simultaneously being it. Considering previous studies, was insufficient for applying properties setting quaternion or which only part applied. Therefore, examine definition generalized including basis. We...
본 연구는 ICF 코드를 활용하여 유아의 발달 특성과 환경적 요인 간의 관계에 기초하여 종합평가를 실시하였다. 사회-의사소통에 핵심적인 공동관심과 상징 사용을 강조한 공동관심 중심의 AAC 모델링 중재를 개발하고 어머니가 직접 실행하였다. 연구 참여자는 최소 발화 자폐성장애유아와 어머니 네 팀이며 중다 간헐 기초선 설계를 적용하였다. 연구결과, 중재는 자폐성장애유아의 사회-의사소통을 향상시켰으며 다른 상황에서 일반화되었으며 중재가 종료된 4주 후에도 유지된 것으로 나타났다. 사회-의사소통 능력을 지원하기 위해 종합적인 관점에서 중재 모델을 제공하고 실행하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
