OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the association between hypoglycemia at admission and 30-day mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) determine whether these associations differed according diabetes-control status AMI diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS analyzed prognostic significance of hyperglycemia 34,943 or without type 2 diabetes from two registries: Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) Working Group on (KorMI). RESULTS The were divided into five...
Korea and Japan are within the high-risk area for scrub typhus.The southern regions of two countries, in particular, do not exhibit a significant difference climate, ecological environment, demographic characteristics affected patients [1][2][3][4][5].Scrub typhus parts was more prevalent farmers or people involved agricultural work, females, individuals aged 60 years above.Temporally, it occurred mainly autumn [3,6].Considering that is season when work related to harvest mostly occurs...
Presence of enhanced mural nodules, which can be visualized using computed tomography (CT), is one high-risk stigmata in branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMNs). Conversely, the absence nodules on preoperative imaging does not exclude malignant risk. The present study aimed to investigate other morphological features as predictors malignancy "pure" BD-IPMNs without CT.This retrospective included 180 patients with surgically confirmed pancreas and no CT. was conducted...
A considerable number of patients with Crohn's disease still need intestinal resection surgery. Postoperative recurrence is an important issue in management, including the selection high-risk patients. Eastern Asian showed several differences from Caucasian Therefore, we investigated postoperative surgical outcome and identified risk factors Korean patients.Clinical data 372 who underwent first between January 2004 August 2014 at 14 hospitals Korea were retrospectively reviewed.Over...
Energy drinks are gaining popularity among young people worldwide. However, little is known about their consumption Korean adolescents.
The susceptibility of Escherichia coli from community onset urinary tract infection (UTI) was evaluated by dividing UTI into the simple acquired-UTI (CA-UTI) and healthcare associated (HCA-UTI) groups for a period 10 years. E. to most antibiotics, except amikacin imipenem, continued decrease. In CA-UTI group, cefotaxime 88% in 2015, but rapidly decreased 79.3% 2017. cefepime piperacillin-tazobactam were 88.8% 90.5% 2017, respectively. HCA-UTI antibiotics markedly less than 60% incidence...
The measurement of flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) via ultrasound has been established as a reliable non-invasive endothelial function. However, the guidelines mention nothing regarding diurnal variation FMD. Thus, we investigated FMD in healthy people and FMD.Twenty-five apparently persons participated this study. All participants had no history cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, or diabetes used any medication. For each volunteer, measurements were repeated morning afternoon on two...

Background . Although immunomodulators are increasingly used in Crohn’s disease (CD), a significant number of gastroenterologists still use 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) combination with azathioprine (AZA) or 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP); there is limited evidence regarding the benefit concomitant 5-ASA AZA/6-MP compared monotherapy for treatment CD. Study Design A total 106 patients who received more than 3 months between January 1991 and May 2014 were identified retrospectively. Each patient was...
Albuminuria is known to be independently associated with progression of renal and cardiovascular disease. However, little regarding the exact relationship between albuminuria bone mineral density (BMD). The aim this population-based study conducted in Korea was identify association BMD.We performed a cross-sectional analysis data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V-2) 2011. BMD measured for total hip (TH), femur neck (FN), lumbar spine (LS). Analysis covariance used...
Constipation is a common functional gastrointestinal symptom, the medical treatment of which established. However, knowledge diet and nutritional management for constipation lacking. Based on current studies, fiber effective in managing chronic constipation, but care should be taken constipated patients with gaseous bloating. Increased fluid intake controversial may beneficial, especially conjunction stool-bulking agent. Other treatments lack high-quality evidence. A well-designed study to...
Objective: Despite successful efforts to shorten the door-to-balloon time in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), pre-hospital delayremains a problem. We evaluated factors related delay using Jeonbuk regional cardiovascular center database. Methods: From 2010 2013, total of 384 STEMI were enrolled. analyzed onset time, door and balloon grouped according (120 minutes). Clinical socio-demographic variables compared. Results: 53.2% had prolonged onset-to-door...
Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of BACTEC MGIT (Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube) 960 system for mycobacteria culture and immunochromatographic assay identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in positive culture.Methods: Mycobacteria-culture-positive cases were retrospectively analyzed from December 2010 July 2011.The detection rates recovery times between Ogawa media compared.An (ICA) (SD BIO-LINE) also performed identification, results compared with those...
당화혈색소 5.7%이상에서 6.4%이하인 당뇨전 단계는 당뇨와 심혈관 질환의 위험요소임이 이미 알려져 있다. 최근 미국 당뇨병 학회에서는 당화혈색소를 당뇨의 진단 기준으로 추가하였다. 이러한 배경을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 농촌 지역 건강한 성인 남녀를 대상으로 당화혈색소와 내장지방과의 관련성을 살펴보았다. 일개 대학병원 건강 검진 수진자 중 남녀 507명을 연구 대상자로 선정하였다. 대상자에게 설문지를 기입하도록 하고 혈압, BMI, 혈액검사를 측정하였고, 총 복부지방, 내장지방, 피하지방은 CT를 이용하여 측정하였다. 대상자를 남녀로 구분지어 평균값을 비교한 결과 피하지방, 중성지방, 당화혈색소가 유의한 차이를 보였다. 5.7%를 미만 군과 이상 군으로 분류하고 피하지방과 내장지방 및 비교해보았다. 이 내장지방만이 모두에서 5.7%이상 군 사이에서 군에서 5.7% 군에 비해 내장지방이 높았다. 전진선택법으로 변수를 선택하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 한 결과, 비교 위험도...
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate correlations between high platelet reactivity (HPR) and extent coronary atherosclerosis periprocedural myonecrosis in patients with acute syndrome (ACS) who underwent percutaneous intervention (PCI). A total 485 PCI for ACS studied. HPR defined as ≥230 units (PRU) point-of-care P2Y12 tested by VerifyNow assay. incidence multi-vessel disease (MVD) higher than those no (56.2% vs 45.8%, p=0.023). PRU values progressively increased number diseased...
