Although the relationships between basic clinical parameters and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) have been studied, associations vascular factors WMH volume in general populations remain unclear. We investigated including comprehensive two large populations. This retrospective, cross-sectional study involved populations: individuals who underwent health examinations at Asan Medical Center (AMC) participants from a regional cohort, Korean Genome Epidemiology Study (KoGES). was quantified...
Lifestyle factors, including sleep characteristics, have been implicated in the development of metabolic syndrome, particularly among shift workers. This study aimed to explore relationship between work, duration, social jetlag, and risk syndrome U.S. workers moderating effect duration jetlag on this relationship. Data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017–2020 March were analyzed. Poisson regression models employed examine associations. Among 4136 workers, 53.3%...
The COVID-19 pandemic increased the worldwide prevalence of metabolic syndrome. purpose this study was to assess health behavior adherence during in adults who had engaged a syndrome management program for at least 6 months. This assessment included an evaluation changes, factors influencing adherence, and clinical parameters. city-wide operated by Seoul Metropolitan Government.
Abstract We developed a new exercise method called the submandibular push that can strengthen suprahyoid muscle by inducing only motion of hyoid bone without neck flexion. In this study, we aimed to investigate and compare activity infrahyoid muscles in course performing three different swallowing exercises. Twenty healthy participants fifteen patients with dysphagia were recruited. Each participant consecutively performed exercises: Shaker, CTAR, To activation, surface electromyography was...
Abstract Several exercise methods, such as the Shaker exercise, tongue press chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) and submandibular push have been introduced to strengthen muscles involved in swallowing. In this study, we compared effectiveness of CTAR, push, exercises for induction selective supra- infrahyoid muscle contractions using surface electromyography (EMG). This study is a prospective non-randomized controlled study. Twenty-five healthy subjects 20 patients experiencing swallowing...
We explored the mediating effect of a health-promoting lifestyle in relationship between menopausal symptoms, resilience, and depression middle-aged women. The participants this study were 176 Korean Mediation analysis was performed according to Baron Kenny method using Sobel test. There significant correlations depression. had direct symptoms In study, women influence on their resilience via lifestyle.
Abstract Background To date, conventional swallowing therapies and 2-channel neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) are standard treatments for dysphagia. The precise mechanism of NMES treatment has not been determined, there controversies regarding the efficacy this therapy. sequential 4-channel was recently developed its action is based on normal contractile sequence swallowing-related muscles. Objective evaluate compare rehabilitative effectiveness with that NMES. Methods In...
Abstract Introduction Noise exposure has long been an occupational health concern and important area of focus the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) since its founding. Nevertheless, it remains unclear what effects OSHA's noise standards have had on employer efforts to reduce risks. Consequently, a review OSHA standard violations was performed clarify violation trends between 1972 2019. Methods Using Information System, researchers identified 119 305 involving four 2019: 29 CFR...
Background. The precise mechanism of 2-channel neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) treatment is unknown, and controversy remains over its efficacy. sequential 4-channel NMES was newly developed based on normal contractile sequences swallowing-related muscles. Objective. To assess the clinical efficacy during swallowing. Methods. In this prospective RCT, 52 inpatients with dysphagia (acute, subacute, chronic state) after stroke, brain tumor, or encephalitis were enrolled. Participants...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting health promotion behavior among workers with high risk metabolic syndrome. This based on the planned theory. Methods: participants were 167 at Data collected using a structured questionnaire. Surveyed variables attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention, and behavior. analyzed descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, hierarchical regression analysis SPSS/WIN 22.0....
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test validity and reliability the Tromso Social Intelligence Scale when scale was applied Korean college students. Methods: A methodological design with exploratory factor analysis correlational coefficients has been used. social intelligence which had developed by Slivera et. al. (2001) translated into administered 460 undergraduate data were analyzed SPSS v. 12.0. Principal component used evaluate construct and, Cronbach's a internal consistency....
Moving beyond traditional surveys, combining heterogeneous data sources with AI-driven inference models brings new opportunities to measure socio-economic conditions, such as poverty and population, over expansive geographic areas. The current research presents GeoSEE, a method that can estimate various indicators using unified pipeline powered by large language model (LLM). Presented diverse set of information modules, including those pre-constructed from satellite imagery, GeoSEE selects...
Mongolia is among the countries undergoing rapid urbanization, and its temporary nomadic dwellings-known as Ger-have expanded into urban areas. Ger settlements in cities are increasingly recognized slums by their socio-economic deprivation. The distinctive circular, tent-like shape of gers enables detection through very-high-resolution satellite imagery. We develop a computer vision algorithm to detect Ulaanbaatar, capital Mongolia, utilizing images collected from 2015 2023. Results reveal...
Few studies of death preparation in South Korea are available. This article describes Koreans' experiences and a funeral hospital setting to improve health care providers' ability for dying patients their family. Using Colaizzi's phenomenological method, we conducted semistructured interviews with 40 Koreans who had lost family member setting. Participants' statements were classified into 12 themes, 5 theme clusters, 3 categories: (a) vagueness culture, (b) distortion meaning (c) the need...
