The Comparision of Brain Computed Tomography and Isotope Cisternography in Communicating Hydrocephalus
Jong Chan Kim, Hwang Min Kim, Jae Seung Yang, Baek Keun Lim, Chul Hu, Soon Ki Hong, Young Hyuk Lee
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1992;35(1):9-16.   Published online January 15, 1992
Brain computed tomograpy is particularly accurate in defining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space because of the relatively great density difference between CSF and brain parenchyma. This noninvasive procedure has very quickly become definitive in the diagnosis of hydrocephalus. However, while the typical clinical and radiological picture of a hydrocephalic patient leaves no doubt as to the need for adequate surgical treatment....

or vice versa. But any specific association pattern of anomalies have remained unestablished despite of many researcherss efforts. Knowledge of the likely association of CHD and extracardiac anomalies may allow us to expect certain disturbances and to correct them, and lower the mortality and morbidity rates in children with CHD. The authors conducted this study in the hope of establishing...
A Scientific Analysis of Changes in Hemostatic Parameters Following Cardiopulmonary
Hyoung Won Lee, You In Park, Kwang Chul Lee, Ju Won Lee, Soon Kyum Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1992;35(1):34-43.   Published online January 15, 1992
Despite the scientific advances made in medical science, the potential for serious hemorrhagic complications remain an important problem in patients undergoing open heart surgery with extracorporeal circultation (OHSEC). Hematologic abnormalities that have been reported in association with OHSEC and that may lead to a hemorrhagic tendency include thrombocytopenia, alteration of coagulation factors, advanced fibrinolysis and inadequate neutralization of heparin. We investigated...

Leukemia is a neoplasm arising from the malignant transformation of hematopoietic cells. The incidence data of leukemia have not been available for Korean as a whole. The present study was therefore undertaken in order to estimate the incidence of childhood leukemia among Korean.

A Study on the Diagnostic Value of Cerebrospinal Fluid Adenosine Deaminase Activity in Children with Tuberculous Meningitis

Tuberculous meningitis is still relatively common infectious disease of central nervous system in korea. The prognosis of tuberculous meningitis is closely related to the state at which treatment if started. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme which irreversibly hydrolyzes adenosine into inosine and ammonia. Recent investigations have suggested that the measurement of ADA activities in cerebrospinal fluid is useful in the...
