In this study, we summarize the definition and classification of workplace violence studies and review the literature on workplace violence. Methods: Using academic search engines PubMed, Google Scholar and DBpia, we found 856 papers including “workplace violence” and “adverse social behavior” AND workplace in the title published until December 2018, and 208 papers were selected. The selected papers were classified by continent and country, year of publication, occupation, classification criteria of workplace violence, and research topic. Results: By country, the number of articles in the United States was the most with 40 (19.2%), followed by China 27 (13%), Korea 16 (7.7%), and Taiwan and Australia 15 (7.2%). By job category, healthcare workers accounted for the largest portion with 162 (79.0%) of the total, and 80 of them were conducted on nurses. Other occupations included civil servants, manufacturing workers, toll collectors and wageworkers. Among the classification methods of workplace violence, 147 (67.4%) articles were classified as type and there was a difference in the type of violence defined for each article. In the research topic, 114 (44.2%) articles analyzed the effects of workplace violence, and 105 (40.7%) articles describe the prevalence and characteristics of workplace violence, and 23 (8.9%) articles analyzing the causes of violence. Conclusion: The research topic is biased toward the field of healthcare, so it is necessary to expand to include various occupations or other specified occupations. It is also necessary to prepare appropriate measures against workplace violence.

Monocrotaline models of PAH are widely used to study the pathophysiology of PAH. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the severity of PAH rat model by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). Methods: PAH was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by monocrotaline (M) group. The peak systolic (s’), early diastolic (e’), and late diastolic myocardial velocities (a’) were measured using TDI at basal segments. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) was measured in the 4-chamber view. Velocity of a tricuspid regurgitation (TR) jet was measured to estimate the pulmonary artery pressure to assess the severity of PAH. Results: Decrease in the RV shortening fraction and ejection fraction were observed in the M group compared with the control (C) group. RV e’ velocity and s’ velocity were significantly lower in the M group compared with the C group. The TAPSE was significantly lower in the M group compared with the C group (1.26±0.22 mm vs. 2.83±0.34 mm). The TR velocity was significantly higher in the M group compared with the C group (4.48±0.34 m/sec vs. 1.23±0.02 m/sec). Conclusion: TAPSE is an easily obtainable, widely recognized and clinically useful echocardiographic parameter of global RV function in the PAH rat model. We recommend that TDI would be a helpful diagnostic tool to evaluate the RV function in PAH rat model.

Before treatment with prednisolone and AZA, complete blood count revealed a white blood cell count of 9,780/μL, hemoglobin level of 11.7 g/dL with a mean corpuscular volume of 91.9 fL (normal range, 80–99 fL), and platelet count of 18.4×10/μL. Five months after treatment with prednisolone and AZA, complete blood count revealed a white blood cell count of 6,180/μL, hemoglobin level of 7.2 g/dL with a mean corpuscular volume of 109.1 fL, and platelet count of 17.5×10/μL. Serological tests revealed iron level of 116 μg/dL (normal range, 40–190 μg/ dL), free thyroxine level of 1.10 ng/dL (normal range, 0.9–1.70 ng/dL), vitamin B12 level of 462 pg/mL (normal range, 233–914 pg/mL), folic acid level of 7.4 ng/mL (normal range, 3.6–12.9 ng/mL), and anti-DNA antibody (Ab) level of <1.7 IU/mL (normal value, <6.0 IU/mL). The results of tests for antivirus immunoglobulin M (IgM) Ab were negative for antiparvovirus B19 IgM Ab, anti-Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen IgM Ab, and anti-cytomegalovirus IgM Ab.

Clinically, asymptomatic uterine myomas are diagnosed in 25% to 40% of all women and the incidence of myomas increases with age [1]. Although uterine myomas tend to have no positive influence on fertility, myomectomy is considered to maintain fertility. There are three types of surgical approach to perform myomectomy, including robotic-assisted, laparoscopic, and abdominal myomectomy. These surgical approaches have different advantages and disadvantages regarding patient recovery and fertility [2]. In performing myomectomy, uterine scar repair is the most important factor affecting fertility outcomes. With open myomectomy procedures, most myomas can be removed by palpating uterine walls. However, patients suffer more from postoperative wound pain and have a large scar. To avoid postoperative pain, patients often desire minimally invasive surgeries even with multiple large myomas. Other minimally invasive surgical techniques include laparoscopic or robotassisted laparoscopic myomectomy [2]. However, in laparoscopic myomectomy, it is difficult to approach the deep base origins of large myomas. It is also difficult to perform layer-by-layer sutures of the uterine wall and remove tiny and deep seated myoma nodules. Compared to laparoscopic procedures, robotic myomectomy uses fine wristed instruments with more magnification to allow approach of various myoma bases, performance Case Report Ewha Med J 2019;42(2):20-23 https://doi.org/10.12771/emj.2019.42.2.20 eISSN 2234-2591","PeriodicalId":197820,"journal":{"name":"The Ewha Medical Journal","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122788817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 11 patients with ovarian cancer treated by a single surgeon from 2006 to 2013. These patients were diagnosed at the time of primary cytoreductive surgery and received six cycles of combination chemotherapy. Then, they underwent second look laparoscopy. They were followed up with tumor markers monthly and PET-CT and/or CT scans. Results: All 11 patients had undergone primary surgery followed by six cycles of consolidation chemotherapy. Eight patients had positive pathologic findings on second look laparoscopy (72.7 %). The CA 125 level was higher in one patient (12.5%). In seven patients who had positive results on second look laparoscopy, the value was well below normal limits (87.5%). Three patients had recorded increases in fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (37.5%). The increase in standardized uptake values in specific regions in the scans corresponded to positive biopsies from those regions. Seven patients who had positive findings on second look laparoscopy were treated with consolidation chemotherapy. The 5-year survival rate was 66.67%, and the 5-year recurrence rate was 33.33%. Conclusion: There are limitations to the accuracy of current investigative techniques, and we must rely on clinical correlation with these modalities for each case of second look laparoscopy. It is feasible to safely perform second look laparoscopy to detect remnant ovarian cancer.

Treatments for PHN include pharmacological modalities, including anticonvulsants and antidepressants, as well as non-pharmacological modalities such as block of the infiltrated nerve, nerve stimulation, spinal cord simulation, and intrathecal drug administration. However, PHN currently has no definitive cure; instead, the goal of treatment is to alleviate symptoms. Patients with PHN may exhibit pain as a symptom of nerve irritation or damage to the infiltrated area. They may also experience allodynia due to mechanical stimulation or temperature change, as well as hypoesthesia and paresthesia. However, the same symptoms can appear as a result of other diseases that cause neuropathic pain. Therefore, when PHN does not respond to treatment, when the response to treatment changes, or when the pain pattern changes worsens, various tests must be performed, including medical history taking and physical examination, to exclude secondary causes other than PHN. In the present report, we describe a case of PHN that had been kept under control using pharmacological therapy and nerve block, but deteriorated after the patient began wearing an upper complete denture. The symptoms were relieved following correction of the upper complete denture. We report the details of this case, along with a literature review.","PeriodicalId":197820,"journal":{"name":"The Ewha Medical Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129399681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
