Optimizing Data-Centric Healthcare: A Novel Monitoring Framework for High-Risk General Ward Patients.

The digital transformation of healthcare in South Korea, accelerated by COVID-19, has led to increased focus on critically ill patients in large hospitals. To address this, a monitoring system was developed to ensure safe inpatient treatment and improve staff efficiency. This aligns with the Medical Data-Centric Hospitals initiative, which leverages data for healthcare innovation.

COVID-19 hospital indoor environments and how it helped patients' recovery and staff's work: a case study in South Korea.

The indoor environment has been recognized as a crucial factor that can influence health and wellbeing of occupants. This is particularly true in hospital settings, where various environmental attributes can significantly affect patients' recovery and staff members' productivity. The present study aimed to investigate how occupants in hospitals perceived indoor environment, focusing specifically on COVID-19 hospitals across Republic of Korea.

Relationship between indoor noise perception and remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a major influence on working patterns worldwide, given the various lockdown periods and the shift to remote working. As people's noise perception is known to be closely linked with their work performance and job satisfaction, investigating the noise perception in indoor spaces, especially in situations where people work from home, is crucial; however, studies on this aspect are limited. Thus, here, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between indoor noise perception and remote work during the pandemic.

Gasserian ganglion radiofrequency thermoablation in a patient with aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery -A case report.

Background: Gasserian ganglion radiofrequency thermoablation is a good treatment option for the management of pain in trigeminal neuralgia. We report a case in which the patient of trigeminal neuralgia combined with anterior cerebral artery aneurysm was treated successfully by gasserian ganglion thermoablation without any complication.

Case: An 85-year-old female presenting with electric shock like sensation in the gum and molar teeth was diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia.

Studies of Supraorbital Notch and Foramen Using 3-Dimensional Facial Bone CT Scans.

Background: The supraorbital foramen or notch is located at the superior orbital rim. Previous studies have reported anatomical variations in these structures. However, the results varied depending on races and the measurement method used.

Inter-floor noise classification using convolutional neural network.

In apartment houses, noise between floors can disturb pleasant living environments and cause disputes between neighbors. As a means of resolving disputes caused by inter-floor noise, noises are recorded for 24 hours in a household to verify whether the inter-floor noise exceeded the legal standards. If the noise exceeds the legal standards, the recorded sound is listened to, and it is checked whether the noise comes from neighboring households.

Precardiac organoids form two heart fields via Bmp/Wnt signaling.

The discovery of the first heart field (FHF) and the second heart field (SHF) led us to understand how cardiac lineages and structures arise during development. However, it remains unknown how they are specified. Here, we generate precardiac spheroids with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) harboring GFP/RFP reporters under the control of FHF/SHF markers, respectively.

Extracorporeal worm extraction of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense with amidotrizoic acid in a child.

Infection cases of diphyllobothriid tapeworms are not much in the below teen-age group. We report a case of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense infection in a 13-year-old boy. He presented with severe fatigue, occasional abdominal pain at night time.

Combination effect of cetuximab with radiation in colorectal cancer cells.

Aims And Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the commonest malignant disorders and frequently associated with high expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), resulting in advanced disease and a poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the radiosensitizing effects of the selective EGFR inhibitor cetuximab in human CRC cell lines.

Methods: Four human CRC cell lines, CaCo-2, HCT-8, LoVo, and WiDr, were treated with cetuximab and/or radiation.

Clinical evaluation of the SD Bioline influenza virus antigen test for rapid detection of influenza viruses A and B in children and adults during the influenza season.

The performance of the SD Bioline rapid antigen test kit for influenza virus detection was evaluated with 295 respiratory specimens during the influenza season. The overall sensitivity and specificity of the SD Bioline test were 61.9% and 96.
