Stroke risk in atrial fibrillation (AF) is often assessed at initial presentation, and stratification performed as a 'one off'. In validation studies of prediction, baseline values are used to 'predict' events that occur many years later. Many clinical variables have 'dynamic' changes over time, the patient followed up. These dynamic factors may increase CHA2DS2-VASc score, stroke category absolute ischaemic rate. This article evaluates its effect on prediction risk. From Korea National...
Ketogenic diet (KD) is known to be effective in intractable epilepsy. However, the role of KD refractory status epilepticus (RSE) has not been well described. The aim this study explore patients with RSE. We retrospectively reviewed medical records four children and one adult RSE between October 2006 August 2010. All presented (SE) that was presumed associated viral encephalitis. After we failed control seizures standard measures for SE, tried KD. overall seizure frequency decreased <50%...
Tinea incognito (TI) is a dermatophytic infection which has lost its typical clinical appearance because of improper use steroids or calcineurin inhibitors.The incidence TI increasing nowadays.We conducted retrospective review on 283 patients with from 25 dermatology training hospitals in Korea 2002-2010 to investigate the demographical, clinical, and mycological characteristics TI, determine associated risk factors.More than half (59.3%) were previously treated by non-dermatologists...
Electronic cigarettes are novel tobacco products that frequently used these days. The cartridge contains liquid nicotine and accidental poisoning, even with a small oral dose, endangers children. We present here mortality case of 15-month-old child who ingested mistaking it for cold medicine. When the emergency medical technicians arrived, she was found to have pulseless electrical activity. Spontaneous circulation restored after approximately 40 minutes cardiopulmonary resuscitation....
We used cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to investigate the association between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness and silent myocardial ischemia, as well coronary artery stenosis, in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients. The study included 100 subjects (51 male 49 female; mean age: 56 ± 7 years). Silent determined by CMR, was defined evidence of inducible ischemia or infarction. Signal reduction stenosis ≥ 50% vessel diameter criteria for significant on (MR) angiography. EAT...
There have been no prior nationwide reports on the prevalence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) among patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF). It is also unclear how much stroke risk attributable to HCM compared with other risks in AF. This study assessed non-valvular AF (NVAF) and assess magnitude increase NVAF HCM, those without HCM. From Korean National Health Insurance Service database January 1, 2005 December 31, 2016, we analysed 979,784 prevalent aged 18 years or older....
Most developmental screening tools in Korea are adopted from foreign tests. To ensure efficient of infants and children Korea, a nationwide tool with high reliability validity is needed.This study aimed to independently develop, standardize, validate the Korean Developmental Screening Test for Infants Children (K-DST) neurodevelopmental disorders Korea.The standardization validation conducted 2012-2014 3,284 subjects (4-71 months age) resulted first edition K-DST. The restandardization...
The diagnostic yield of whole-exome sequencing (WES) varies from 30%-50% among patients with mild to severe neurodevelopmental delay (NDD)/intellectual disability (ID). Routine retrospective reanalysis undiagnosed has increased the total by 10-15%. Here, we performed proband-only WES 1065 NDD/ID and applied a prospective, daily automated pipeline without clinically significant variants facilitate diagnoses.The study included consecutive 1056 nonconsanguineous unrelated families 10...
Hashimoto encephalopathy is a steroid-responsive associated with elevated titers of antithyroid antibodies. Clinical symptoms are characterized by behavioral and cognitive changes, speech disturbance, seizures, myoclonus, psychosis, hallucination, involuntary movements, cerebellar signs, coma. The standard treatment the use corticosteroids along any concurrent dysthyroidism. Other options immunoglobulins plasmapheresis. We described outcomes on 3 teenage girls encephalopathy. Presenting were...
Summary. We report four cases of occupational asthma caused by chromium salts, three whom showed dual and one isolated early asthmatic responses on specific bronchoprovocation test (BPT). All them were ex–smokers. Two positive skin–prick tests to 10mg/ml Cr 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , but negative results patch testing. The remaining two testing with . Three had airway hyperresponsiveness methacholine initial examination. Although challenge a result in the patient, developed transiently 24 h after an...
Myopericytoma is a benign neoplasm consisting of cells that appear to have distinct differentiation towards presumed perivascular myoid cells. Amongst myopericytoma, an intravascular variant appears been reported only rarely. A 67‐year‐old man presented with 15‐year history painful, slow growing 3 × 3.5 cm sized mass in the subcutis his right lateral thigh. Histopathological studies showed subcutaneous entirely within lumen vein. The tumor was composed spindle‐shaped myoid‐appearing...
Hyperekplexia is a rare inherited neurologic disorder that characterized by hypertonia and an exaggerated startle response to sudden external stimuli. Until now, 5 genes are known be associated with hyperekplexia: GLRA1, SLC6A5, GLRB, GPHN, ARHGEF9. In this report, we performed clinical genetic analysis of 4 Korean children hyperekplexia. Two patients had typical manifestations hyperekplexia initially were misdiagnosed as epilepsy. Direct sequencing the GLRB GLRA1 revealed 2 novel mutations,...
Many factors affect the cure rate (CR), duration required for complete (DC) and recurrence (RR) of onychomycosis. The aim this study was to evaluate CR, DC RR in onychomycosis according various clinical factors. We retrospectively reviewed medical records 637 Korean patients with between December 2000 2006. examined six effects on RR: age, sex, type, treatment pattern, presence diabetes mellitus (DM) extent nail involvement. On view appearance potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation, we...

This study was carried out to determine whether slow nail growth is a predisposing factor for onychomycosis or if results in growth. Forty-nine patients with unilateral of the great toenail were enrolled and classified two groups according size affected area, i.e. more than half less toenail. The rates unaffected toenails all measured. Before normal appearance reached, toenails, when area occupied total plate, slower that toenails. After achieved, there no differences between Therefore, this...
