“…However, it is almost impossible to properly treat acute ICH patients in the emergency rooms of local hospitals in rural and underserved areas. Differences in regional medical infrastructures have resulted in clear regional disparities in cardiovascular mortality in Korea [ 25 , 29 ]. We previously reported the development of a system entitled “Cloud-based telemedicine platform exclusively for acute ICH patients in rural and underserved areas in Gangwon state” intended to reduce regional disparities in ICH treatment outcomes [ 27 ].…”

Previously, we reported the concept of a cloud-based telemedicine platform for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at local emergency rooms in rural and medically underserved areas in Gangwon state by combining artificial intelligence and remote consultation with a neurosurgeon. Developing a telemedicine ICH treatment protocol exclusively for doctors with less ICH expertise working in emergency rooms should be part of establishing this system. Difficulties arise in providing appropriate early treatment for ICH in rural and underserved areas before the patient is transferred to a nearby hub hospital with stroke specialists. This has been an unmet medical need for decade. The available reporting ICH guidelines are realistically possible in university hospitals with a well-equipped infrastructure. However, it is very difficult for doctors inexperienced with ICH treatment to appropriately select and deliver ICH treatment based on the guidelines. To address these issues, we developed an ICH telemedicine protocol. Neurosurgeons from four university hospitals in Gangwon state first wrote the guidelines, and professors with extensive ICH expertise across the country revised them. Guidelines and recommendations for ICH management were described as simply as possible to allow more doctors to use them easily. We hope that our effort in developing the telemedicine protocols will ultimately improve the quality of ICH treatment in local emergency rooms in rural and underserved areas in Gangwon state.

“…Considering indirect costs, such as the loss of labor due to disability, it is estimated that the actual social and economic loss is 10 times higher than the estimated direct cost. Mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, including ICH, exhibited regional disparity between metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas [ 10 ]. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system to address medical inequality in treating ICH patients at the national level, not at the level of doctors or hospitals.…”

Objective: We aimed to develop a cloud-based telemedicine platform for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at local hospitals in rural and underserved areas in Gangwon-do using artificial intelligence and non-face-to-face collaboration treatment technology.Methods: This is a prospective and multi-center development project in which neurosurgeons from four university hospitals in Gangwon-do will participate. Information technology experts will verify and improve the performance of the cloud-based telemedicine collaboration platform while treating ICH patients in the actual medical field. Problems identified will be resolved, and the function, performance, security, and safety of the telemedicine platform will be checked through an accredited certification authority. The project will be carried out over four years and consists of two phases.

“…Since they unexpectedly pop up and rapidly gets faint, immediate follow-up observation is necessary to study the nature of transients. For instance, IMSNG (Intensive Monitoring Survey of Nearby Galaxies); Im et al (2019) performs a high cadence monitoring survey to catch early light curves of supernovae.…”

Detection of transients such as supernovae (SNe) and kilonovae (KNe) in early phase has recently become important for understanding the progenitor properties and multi-messenger astronomy. Predicting which galaxy has the higher probability of hosting the transient events would help detect the early phase of the events and get information on their progenitors. The SN and KN rates are known to be a function of star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass of the host galaxy. The SFR of a galaxy can be estimated from ultraviolet (UV) luminosity. However, the UV magnitudes have been derived carefully only for a limited number of nearby galaxies. Here, we introduce GALEX galaxy catalog of all-sky UV brightness of low redshift galaxies. To do so, we derive the UV photometry of galaxies in the GLADE catalog using the GALEX AIS images, supplemented by GALEX NGS and MIS data. From the near-UV (NUV) and far-UV (FUV) magnitudes, we calculate the SFRs of the galaxies, which will further be useful for estimating the SN and KN rate. The results are compared with previous GALEX UV catalog of galaxies. There will be an updated catalog based on this catalog for calculating KN rate of the galaxies in the future work.
