Specifically, this study helped raise the understanding of how counselors think about the construct of multicultural counseling competence required for international student counseling. Considering the importance of engaging the counseling center in vitalizing international student counseling, the study examined the institutional-level competence of university centers in addition to the individual-level competence of counselors. Ideas obtained from brainstorming interviews of 11 counselors were turned into specific behavioral indicator statements of multicultural competence for international student counseling (48 for university centers, 78 for counselors). Subsequently, 13 counselors categorized these statements on the basis of relatedness and their cluster solutions summed up to create the group similarity matrices for the center competence and counselor competence. Through multivariate concept-mapping statistical analyses, the center competence indicators were organized into five clusters along two dimensions, and the counselor competence indicators were structured into six clusters along two dimensions. Each competence indicator statement was rated for importance and degree of execution. Specifically, the concept map for multicultural counseling competence of university counseling centers working with international students shows 48 competence indicator statements grouped into five clusters laid out on a 2-dimensional map. Dimension 1 (X-axis) describes the target of institutional support provided by the university counselor center. Specifically, statements that involved client support were placed in the right sector of the map, and statements that involved counselor support factor were placed in the left sector of the map. Dimension 2 (Y-axis) describes the capacity of the center. Specifically, the upper half of the map is comprised of items dealing with internal capacity (utilizing in-house resources to enhance international student counseling), while the bottom half includes statements dealing with external capacity (utilizing outside resources to enhance international student counseling). The five categories of center competence for international student counseling were: (1) Engaging in active partnership/advocacy for sustainability, (2) Providing counselor support, (3) Creating International Student-Friendly Place, (4) Reaching out to international students, and (5) Diversifying counseling services. As for the concept map for multicultural counseling competence of counselors working with international students, 78 competence indicator statements were grouped into six clusters laid out on a 2-dimensional map. The two dimensions that characterized this map were the source of counselor capacity (Dimension 1) and the direction of counselor efforts (Dimension 2). The six categories of counselor competence for international student counseling were: (1) Sustaining awareness, attitude, abilities for international student counseling, (2) Acquiring knowledge to understand international students, (3) Utilizing culturally responsive counseling strategies, (4) Employing procedural strategies to create an open and supportive environment, (5) Engaging in extended roles, and (6) Practicing self-care and professional development. This study represents the first formal research attempt to systematically examine the multicultural competence of university counseling centers and counselors working with international students. The number of international students on Korean university campuses will continue to increase and their need for counseling services present real challenges. Accessible and appropriate counseling services provided by competent university counseling centers and counselors will play a pivotal role in helping international students as they deal with diverse issues related to adapting to a new cultural and academic environment. To date, university counseling centers and counselors in Korea and elsewhere in the world are not equipped with practical guidelines, trainings, or resources to work with this special population. This study will serve as a foundational starting point in the efforts to increase greater proficiency and to improve counseling outcomes for international students. The scope of this study was to look at the multicultural competence of both the university counseling centers and counselors; it is hoped that the university counseling centers and counselors move forward together in advancing the much-needed international student counseling services.Chapter 1.

    OBJECTIVE: Aortic unfolding occurs with aging and reflects proximal aortic dilation, aortic arch widening, and decreased curvature. This study 1) evaluated the relationship between aortic unfolding measured using non-contrast cardiac-gated computed tomography (CT) and age, 2) assessed factors influencing aortic unfolding, and 3) determined the association of this measurement with coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. METHODS: We reviewed the charts of 219 subjects (142 men, 77 women; mean age 54.2±9.3 years) who underwent coronary artery calcium scanning during routine health screening from December 2010 to May 2011. Multivariate regression analysis according to cardiovascular risk factors was performed. We also analyzed the relationship between aortic unfolding measurements and CAC score using stepwise multiple linear regression. RESULTS: Mean aortic unfolding was 103.7±13.9 mm (men, 106.5±13.5 mm; women, 98.4±12.9 mm). Age, body surface area, and hypertension were exclusively associated with aortic unfolding. The association between aortic unfolding and CAC score was significant after adjustment for age and gender (β = 1.89, p = 0.017) and for Framingham risk score (β = 2.83, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Aortic unfolding defined by measuring aortic width was a reproducible and practical method with non-contrast cardiac CT and associated with age, body surface area, and hypertension. CAC score, a well-established surrogate marker of cardiovascular disease, is positively associated with aortic unfolding. Further study to evaluate aortic unfolding as a potential predictor of cardiovascular risk is warranted.ope

    Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus with an interarterial course: subtypes and clinical importance

    Get PDF
    PURPOSE: To classify anomalous origins of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left coronary sinus (AORL) with an interarterial course into two subtypes and to evaluate the clinical importance of each. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study, and informed consent was waived. Through a retrospective review of 22,925 consecutive cardiac computed tomographic (CT) scans, 124 cases of AORL with an interarterial course were identified. These anomalies were classified into two subtypes according to the location of the anomalous RCA ostium: high interarterial course (between the aorta and the pulmonary artery) and low interarterial course (between the aorta and the right ventricular outflow tract). The clinical records were evaluated, and differences in prevalence of typical angina and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) between the subtypes were analyzed through the χ(2) contingency tables or Fisher exact test. RESULTS: After excluding patients with combined cardiac disease, 87 patients (51 [59%] men, 36 [41%] women; mean age, 56.0 years) were enrolled. Of the 87 patients, 53 had a high interarterial course and 34 had a low interarterial course. A significant difference in the prevalence of typical angina (high [43%] vs low [6%], P = .001) and MACE (high [28%] vs low [6%], P = .012) was observed between the two subtypes. For patients with a high interarterial course, the odds ratio for typical angina was 12.3 (95% confidence interval: 2.7, 56.6), and the odds ratio for MACE was 6.3 (95% confidence interval: 1.3, 29.7). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of typical angina and that of MACE were significantly higher in patients with a high interarterial course than in those with a low interarterial course.ope

    PURPOSE: To assess the diagnostic performance of dual-energy cardiac computed tomography (CT) in the detection of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi and differentiation between thrombus and circulatory stasis in patients with stroke, by using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as the reference standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The institutional review board approved this study, and patients provided informed consent. Thirty-two patients with stroke who had atrial fibrillation (AF) and either thrombus or the spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) echo pattern at TEE were prospectively enrolled. For the control group, 31 patients who were planning to undergo AF ablation and who had no abnormalities at TEE were enrolled. All patients underwent dual-energy cardiac CT that was not electrocardiographically gated. For quantitative analysis, iodine concentration was measured on CT images. The statistical significance of differences in mean iodine concentration between thrombus and SEC as measured at CT was assessed by using the Student t test. RESULTS: Among the 63 patients, a total of 13 thrombi and 19 instances of SEC were detected at TEE. Using TEE as the reference standard, the overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of dual-energy cardiac CT in the detection of thrombi and SEC in the LAA were 97% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 82%, 100%), 100% (95% CI: 86%, 100%), 100%, and 97%, respectively. At CT, the mean iodine concentration was 1.23 mg/mL ± 0.34 (standard deviation) for thrombus and 3.61 mg/mL ± 1.01 for SEC (P = .001). CONCLUSION: Dual-energy cardiac CT is a highly sensitive modality for detecting LAA thrombus and for differentiating thrombus from SEC in patients with stroke.ope

    Analysis of tumor markers in cytological fluid obtained from computed tomography–guided needle aspiration biopsies for the diagnosis of ground-glass opacity pulmonary lesions

    BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to assess whether analyses of tumor markers in cytological fluid can improve the performance of computed tomography (CT)-guided needle aspiration biopsy (NAB) for the diagnosis of ground-glass opacity (GGO) pulmonary lesions. METHODS: Forty-two patients were prospectively enrolled for CT-guided NAB. Levels of cytokeratin 19 fragments (CYFRA 21-1) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) from serum and cytological fluid were measured. The cutoff values of 3.3 ng/mL for CYFRA 21-1 and 5.0 ng/mL for CEA (threshold A) or thresholds by adding 2 standard deviations to the mean levels of markers found in patients without malignancy (threshold B) were used to identify malignancy. The sensitivity and area under the curve (AUC) of NAB alone were compared with those of NAB combined with serum or cytological tumor markers. RESULTS: Among the 42 patients, 30 (71.4%) had malignant and 12 (28.6%) had benign lesions. For NAB alone, the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC for diagnosing GGO were 70.0%, 100%, and 0.850, respectively. The sensitivity and AUC increased significantly for NAB with cytological CYFRA 21-1 compared with NAB alone, using both thresholds (threshold A: 86.7%, P=.026 and .933, P=.016; threshold B: 93.3%, P=.008 and .925, P=.046). CONCLUSIONS: Cytological fluid measurements of CYFRA 21-1 can improve the diagnostic performance of CT-guided NAB for GGO pulmonary lesions.ope

    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We assessed the diagnostic performance of 2-phase 64-slice cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) for the detection of a cardiac source of embolism in stroke patients using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as the reference standard. METHODS: We selected 137 patients who had experienced a recent episode of stroke and had undergone both 2-phase 64-slice CCTA and TEE within a period of 5 days. A potential cardiac source of embolism detected at both CCTA and TEE was recorded, and echocardiographic findings were categorized into high- and medium-risk sources based on the TOAST (Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) classification. RESULTS: Of 137 patients, 100 abnormal findings in 91 patients were found on TEE, and 46 patients had no abnormal finding on TEE. The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the 64-slice CCTA for detecting cardiac sources of embolism were 89% (95% CI, 82%, 95%), 100% (95% CI, 90%, 100%), 100% (95% CI, 95%, 100%), and 81% (95% CI, 70%, 92%), respectively. TEE detected a total of 47 high-risk sources of embolism, whereas CT detected 44 lesions. For medium-risk sources of cardiac embolic stroke, TEE detected a total of 53 abnormal findings, whereas CT detected 44 abnormal findings. Of 53 lesions, there were 8 false-negative results on CT (5 patent foramen ovale and 3 atrial septal aneurysm). CONCLUSIONS: Two-phase 64-slice CCTA is a noninvasive and useful modality for detecting high-risk cardiac sources of embolism in stroke patients.ope

    Additional diagnostic value of tumor markers in cytological fluid for diagnosis of non-small-cell lung cancer

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND: Cytological fluid from a needle aspiration biopsy (NAB) is obtained directly from tumor tissue, therefore many biomarker candidates will be present in high concentrations. The aim of this study was to prospectively assess and validate the tumor markers CYFRA 21-1, CEA, and SCC in cytological fluid obtained from NAB samples to determine if they improved the performance of NAB for diagnosing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: A total of 194 patients (M:F = 128:66, mean age 63.7 years) with suspected malignant pulmonary lesions were prospectively enrolled and underwent percutaneous NAB. Levels of CYFRA 21-1, CEA, and SCC were measured by immunoassay in serum and cytological fluid obtained during aspiration biopsy. Cut-off values to determined malignancy were 3.3 ng/mL in serum and 15.7 ng/mL in cytological fluid for CYFRA 21-1, 5 ng/mL and 0.6 ng/mL for CEA, and 2 ng/mL and 0.86 ng/mL for SCC. RESULTS: Of 194 patients, 139 patients (71.6%) had NSCLC and 55 (28.4%) had benign lesions. Sensitivity increased significantly for NAB combined with cytological tumor markers compared with NAB alone (CYFRA 21-1: 95% versus 83.5%, p < 0.001, CEA: 92.1% versus 83.5%, p = 0.002, SCC: 91.4% versus 83.5%, p = 0.003). Accuracy improved significantly for NAB combined with cytological CYFRA 21-1 compared with NAB alone (95.9% versus 88.1%, p < 0.001). The area under curve (AUC) of NAB with cytological CYFRA 21-1 was significantly larger than for NAB alone (0.966 versus 0.917, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION: Of the tested tumor markers, cytological fluid measurements of CYFRA 21-1 improved the diagnostic performance of NAB for NSCLC.ope

    Dual-enhanced cardiac CT for detection of left atrial appendage thrombus in patients with stroke: a prospective comparison study with transesophageal echocardiography

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A noninvasive method with high reliability and accuracy comparable to transesophageal echocardiography for identification of left atrial appendage thrombus would be of significant clinical value. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of a dual-enhanced cardiac CT protocol for detection of left atrial appendage thrombi and for differentiation between thrombus and circulatory stasis in patients with stroke. METHODS: We studied 83 consecutive patients with stroke (56 men and 27 women; mean age, 62.6 years) who had high risk factors for thrombus formation and had undergone both dual-source CT and transesophageal echocardiography within a 3-day period. CT was performed with prospective electrocardiographic gating, and scanning began 180 seconds after the test bolus. RESULTS: Among the 83 patients, a total of 13 thrombi combined with spontaneous echo contrast and 14 spontaneous echo contrasts were detected by transesophageal echocardiography. All 13 thrombi combined with spontaneous echo contrast were correctly diagnosed on CT. Using transesophageal echocardiography as the reference standard, the overall sensitivity and specificity of CT for the detection of thrombi and circulatory stasis in the left atrial appendage were 96% (95% CI, 78% to 99%), and 100% (95% CI, 92% to 100%), respectively. On CT, the mean left atrial appendage/ascending aorta Hounsfield unit ratios were significantly different between thrombus and circulatory stasis (0.15 Hounsfield unit versus 0.27 Hounsfield unit, P=0.001). The mean effective radiation dose was 3.11 mSv. CONCLUSIONS: Dual-enhanced cardiac CT with prospective electrocardiographic gating is a noninvasive and sensitive modality for detecting left atrial appendage thrombus with an acceptable radiation dose.ope
