Curriculum design for problem-based learning on a volunteer basis: a Yonsei approach.

Innovative new medical programs such as Problem Based Learning (PBL) are being developed worldwide. An increasing number of medical schools are starting to introduce these programs into or even to replace the existing curriculum. At Yonsei University College of Medicine (YUCM), we developed our own PBL curriculum and evaluation method. In order to develop a program suitable for our school, we suggest that for trial purposes, a small number of student and teacher volunteers should be selected and that the tutors involved in the program be given adequate training.

Meningioangiomatosis: MR imaging and pathological correlation in two cases.

Meningioangiomatosis is a rare, benign neoplastic disorder involving the cortex and leptomeninges. The pathological findings are characterised by proliferation of meningothelial cells and leptomeningeal vessels and calcifications within the mass. We experienced two cases of pathologically confirmed meningioangiomatosis, one as a solitary cortical mass with calcification and the other as a cortical lesion manifested as extensive intracranial haemorrhage. On MRI, the first case showed an isointense cortical mass in the left frontal lobe and homogeneous enhancement on the contrast-enhanced study. The second case showed a target-like lesion with a peripheral dark signal rim on T2-weighted images accompanied by extensive haemorrhage in the adjacent frontal lobe and lateral ventricles.

Postpartum emotional distress in mothers with multiple sclerosis.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS)-related symptoms and both received social support and perceived deficits in social support on emotional distress in mothers with MS at 1, 3, and 6 months postpartum. DESIGN: Longitudinal correlation descriptive study. SETTING: Community-residing women in North America. PARTICIPANTS: Convenience sample of 174 postpartum mothers with MS. METHOD: Mothers completed the MS-Related Symptom Scale and Postpartum Support Questionnaire at 1, 3, and 6 months postpartum. Bivariate correlations and hierarchical regression analyses determined relationships between the dependent variable, emotional distress, and independent variables: participant characteristics, MS-related symptoms, and social support. RESULTS: The authors found moderately strong positive correlations between MS-related symptoms and emotional distress at each assessment. Significant negative correlations existed between received social support and emotional distress at 1 month but not at 3 and 6 months. Significant positive correlations existed between MS-related symptoms and social support deficits at each assessment. Explained variance in emotional distress across the three assessments ranged between 2% and 4% for participant characteristics, 49% and 60% for MS-related symptoms, 2% and 7% for social support, and 57% and 66% for total variance. CONCLUSION: MS-related symptoms created considerable emotional distress in mothers that was minimally alleviated by the support given them. In fact, many needed more support than they received.
