A longitudinal study 2016-2019 Authors: Gong, Chang-Hoon; Sato, Shinichi Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this study is to find out a simple cognitive intervention method to use MCI and suffering people with depression. As the elderly society increases around the world, the number of elderly people with diseases and dementia is increasing rapidly. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a pre-stage to dementia, is a critical treatment time to slow disease progression. However, there is currently no appropriate medication. Furthermore, MCI patients with depression are more difficult to treat. Design/methodology/approach To overcome these problems, the authors confirmed improvements and delayed effects in MCI patients in this study for three years through cognitive intervention, demonstrating its effectiveness. Cognitive interventions were conducted for memory retrieval and steadily stimulated the brain by performing tasks to solve problems during daily conversations. Findings As a result, the intervention group retained mini-mental state examination and Montreal cognitive assessment scores on the domains of cognitive function and also instrumental activities of daily living in the domain of motion compared to the non-intervention group. Moreover, significant improvements in geriatric depression scales-15 and quality-of-life scales enabled the patients to maintain stable living compared to before the intervention. In addition, the intervention group showed a change in patterns that allowed them to voluntarily devote time to going out at the end of the study. Research limitations/implications This study was originally planned to compare the rates of transmission from MCI to dementia by tracking over five years (2016–2021). However, due to the impact of COVID-19, which began to spread around the world in 2020, further face-to-face visits and cognitive intervention became impossible. Thus, only half of the data in the existing plans were collected. Although it is difficult to present accurate results for the rate of transmission from MCI to dementia, the tendency was confirmed, indicating sufficient implications as an intervention. Originality/value This study was originally planned to compare the rates of transmission from MCI to dementia by tracking three years (2016–2019). The authors had studied for long-term effect. 2022-06-01T00:00:00Z https://scholarworks.korea.ac.kr/kumedicine/handle/2020.sw.kumedicine/53914 Title: Did King Yeongjo (1694-1776) of Joseon Dynasty Korea suffer dementia during the last decade of his reign? Authors: Gong, Changhoon; Park, Kunwoo Abstract: King Yeongjo, the 21st king of Joseon (18th Century Korea), reigned during the prime years of the dynasty and was its oldest king. Despite his many accomplishments, debate surrounds his reputed display of the symptoms of dementia during the last years of his life. The King showed signs of dementia after 40 years of his regency in 1762 at the age of 69 years, including disorientation, cognitive impairment, amnestic disorder and so on. We examined evidence from the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty and related research papers. Additionally, dementia specialists were asked to undertake a survey to provide objectivity to the literary findings. Prior to his death in 1776, 25 meaningful dementia symptoms were recorded in the Annals across a 10-year period. However, despite indications of dementia, the Joseon dynasty supported him as a king and helped him retain his dignity until the end. This suggests that historical perception changes regarding dementia may also inform current-day attitudes to improve the living standards of patients suffering from dementia and related neuropsychiatric disorders. 2021-10-01T00:00:00Z https://scholarworks.korea.ac.kr/kumedicine/handle/2021.sw.kumedicine/60741 Title: 개인 맞춤형 식음료 추천 시스템 Authors: 남기춘; 공창훈; 김동하; 김상엽; 김용우; 김제홍; 김태훈; 류재춘; 백하륜; 정재범 https://scholarworks.korea.ac.kr/kumedicine/handle/2020.sw.kumedicine/45116 Title: 회전 개폐식 주사기 캡 Authors: 공창훈[공창훈]
