    Abstract Medical appraisal has emerged as a medico-social problem. There are more medical appraisal errors than expected. Physicians are trained in the process of scientific thinking, and then can make a medical appraisal error. Medical appraisal requires both legal knowledge and medical experience. Medical appraisal is neither commentary nor advice for the best ideal medicine. The ideal medical practice described in textbooks and the implementation of the guidelines are different from the medical reality. Medical appraisal should reflect the real-time changing medical field. Medical appraisal experts must consider the level of medical care at the time the incident occurred, the facility, region, environment of the medical institution, and the patient's underlying disease, sequelae, and complications. Since the medical appraisal doctor conducts a retrospective analysis with all the data and time to review, it should be kept in mind that the medical appraisal may differ from the judgment of the actual medical field. Medicine is an evolving but limited science because it is the youngest science. For the fairness of medical appraisal, the medical professionalism and appraisal education of medical appraisers are essential. The Korean Medical Practice Review Authority was established in 2019 led by the Korean Medical Association. The appraisal education program was implemented to strengthen the expertise of appraisers and to develop appraisal skills. The medical field, especially gastroenterology, is the most common subject of medical appraisal. The principles and errors of medical appraisal were reviewed by focusing on the gastroenterology appraisal cases.

    Abstract The Korean Medical Association opposes the illegal attempt to implement the physician assistant (PA) system in Korea. The exact meaning of 'PA' in Korea at present time is 'Unlicensed Assistant (UA)' since it is not legally established in our healthcare system. Thus, PA in Korea refers to unlawful, unqualified, auxiliary personnel for medical practitioners. There have been several issues with the illegal PA system in Korea facing medicosocial conflicts and crisis. Patients want to be diagnosed and treated by medically-educated, licensed and professionally trained physicians not PAs. In clinical settings, PAs deprive the training and educational opportunities of trainees such as interns and residents. Recently, there have been several attempts, by CEO or directors of major hospitals in Korea, to adopt and legalize this system without general consensus from medical professional associations and societies. Without such consensus, this illegal implementation of PA system will create new and additional very serious medical crises due to unlawful medical, educational, professional conflicts and safety issues in medical practice. Before considering the implementation of the PA system, there needs to be a convincing justification by solving the fundamental problems beforehand, such as the collapsed medical delivery system, protection and provision of optimal education program and training environment of trainees, burnout from excessive workloads of physicians with very low compensational system and poor conditions for working and education, etc.

    Abstract Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is often performed on an outpatient basis; thus, effective pain management is essential to improving patient satisfaction and function. Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) and femoral nerve block (FNB) have been commonly used for pain management in ACLR. However, the comparative efficacy and safety between the 2 techniques remains a topic of controversy.
    Purpose: To compare pain reduction, opioid consumption, and side effects of LIA and FNB after ACLR.
    Study design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3.
    Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was performed to identify studies comparing pain on the visual analog scale (a 100-mm scale), total morphine-equivalent consumption, and side effects between the 2 techniques after ACLR at the early postoperative period. The LIA was categorized into intra-articular injection and periarticular injection, and subgroup analyses were performed comparing either intra-articular injection or periarticular injection with FNB. Two reviewers performed study selection, risk-of-bias assessment, and data extraction.
    Results: A total of 10 studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. In terms of VAS pain scores, our pooled analysis indicated that FNB was significantly more effective at 2 hours postoperatively compared with LIA (mean difference, 8.19 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.75 to 15.63];
    Conclusion: Compared with FNB, LIA was not as effective at 2 hours, comparable within 12 hours, and significantly more effective at 24 hours postoperatively for reducing pain after ACLR. Total morphine-equivalent consumption showed no significant differences between the 2 techniques.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the clinico-radiological findings of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) in the literature according to whether a surgical or non-surgical biopsy was performed, as well as to identify prognostic predictors.
    Methods: We searched the Embase and OVID-MEDLINE databases to identify studies that presented CT findings of AFOP and had extractable individual patient data. We compared the clinical and CT findings of the patients depending on whether a surgical or non-surgical biopsy was performed and identified survival predictors using a multivariate logistic regression analysis.
    Results: Eighty-one patients (surgical biopsy, n = 52; non-surgical biopsy, n = 29) from 63 studies were included. The surgical biopsy group frequently experienced an acute fulminant presentation (p = .011) and dyspnea (p = .001) and less frequently had a fever (p = .006) than the non-surgical biopsy group. The surgical biopsy group had a worse prognosis than the non-surgical biopsy group in terms of mechanical ventilation and mortality (both, p = .023). For survival analysis, the patients with the predominant CT finding of patchy or mass-like air-space consolidation survived more frequently (p < .001) than those with other CT findings. For prognostic predictors, subacute indolent presentation (p = .001) and patchy or mass-like air-space consolidation on CT images (p = .002) were independently associated with good survival.
    Conclusions: Approximately one-third of alleged AFOP cases in the literature were diagnosed via non-surgical biopsy, but those cases had different symptomatic presentations and prognosis from surgically proven AFOP. Subacute indolent presentation and patchy or mass-like air-space consolidation at the presentation on CT images indicated a good prognosis in patients with AFOP.
    Key points: • Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) cases diagnosed via non-surgical biopsy had different symptomatic presentations and prognosis from surgically proven AFOP. • Subacute indolent presentation and patchy or mass-like air-space consolidation on CT images indicated a good prognosis in patients with acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia.

    Abstract Background: In Korea, patients with destroyed lung due to tuberculosis (TB) account for a significant portion of those affected by chronic pulmonary function impairment. The objective of our research was to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled tiotropium bromide in TB destroyed lung.
    Methods: We compared the effectiveness of inhaled tiotropium bromide for 2 months between pre- and post-treatment pulmonary function tests performed on 29 patients with destroyed lung due to TB.
    Results: The mean age of the total number of patients was 63±9 years, where 15 patients were male. The pre-treatment mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was 1.02±0.31 L (44.1±16.0% predicted). The pre-treatment mean forced vital capacity (FVC) was 1.70±0.54 L (52.2±15.8% predicted). Overall, the change in FEV1% predicted over baseline with tiotropium was 19.5±19.1% (p<0.001). Twenty patients (72%) got better than a 10% increase in FEV1 over baseline with tiotropium, but one patient showed more than a 10% decrease in FEV1. Overall, the change in FVC% predicted over baseline with tiotropium was 18.5±19.9% (p<0.001). Seventeen patients (59%) experienced greater than a 10% increase in FVC over baseline with tiotropium; 12 (41%) patients had stable lung function.
    Conclusion: The inhaled tiotropium bromide therapy may lead to improve lung functions in patients with TB destroyed lung. However, the long-term effectiveness of this treatment still needs to be further assessed.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread widely across the world since January 2020. There are many challenges when caring for patients with COVID-19, one of which is infection prevention and control. In particular, in cases where surgery must absolutely be performed, special infection control may be required in order to perform surgery without spreading infection within the hospital. We aim to present potentially useful recommendations for non-deferrable surgery for COVID-19 patients based on
