Factors influencing specialty choice have been studied in an attempt to find incentives enhance the workforce certain specialties. The notion of "controllable lifestyle (CL) specialties," defined by work hours and income, is gaining popularity. As a result, many reports advocate providing 'lifestyle-friendly' environment attract medical graduates. However, little has documented about priority choosing specialties across diverse career opportunities. This nationwide study was conducted Japan...
The prevalence of BRCA 1/2 germline mutations in Japanese patients suspected to have hereditary breast/ovarian cancer was examined by a multi‐institutional study, aiming at the clinical application total sequencing analysis and validation assay sensitivity people using cross‐sectional approach based on genetic factors estimated from personal family histories. One hundred thirty‐five subjects were referred counseling clinics enrolled study. Full gene showed 28 types deleterious 36 (26.7%),...
Aim . Gastrointestinal mucositis is a frequent complication of antineoplastic chemotherapy, but the effects chemotherapy on mucosal defense mechanisms remain poorly understood. We studied cisplatin mucin, one principal factors gastrointestinal mucosa, and evaluated efficacy two different types H 2 -receptor antagonists against cisplatin-induced mucositis. Methods Cisplatin (6 mg/kg) was administered intravenously to rats (day 0). The were sacrificed 1, 3, 7, 11 days after treatment, their...
Introduction Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a chronic and progressive disease. While prognoses have improved, PH patients still experience side effects activity restrictions. Accordingly, the key questions asked by this study are ‘How many depression/anxiety symptoms?’ ‘Is there difference in symptoms distress factors between pulmonary arterial (PAH) thromboembolic (CTEPH) patients, how they experiencing distress?’ Methods A mixed-methods was conducted to collect analyse quantitative...
Mindfulness-based intervention has been receiving growing attention in cancer care. This study aimed to examine feasibility and preliminary explore effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) Japanese breast patients, possible modification the program so that it fits better with this population. Twelve participants diagnosis Stage I–III received an eight session, weekly MBCT a group format. The were followed up until 3 months after completion program. All completed high...
The aim of this study was to clarify and compare the socioeconomic backgrounds medical students with those other health professions non-health faculty in an era increasing inequity Japanese society.This a quantitative nationwide study. Data were collected by cross-sectional web-based anonymous questionnaire.Data from years 3 4 medical, across Japan 2021.Participants 1991 schools, 224 dental, 419 pharmacy, 326 nursing, 144 207 faculties.The proportion high-income families (>18 million yen:...
Abstract Background : Meteorologic factors play a role in the expression of asthmatic symptoms; however, there are controversies about causal relationship between meteorologic and asthma. The parameters emergency admissions for symptoms this hospital were analyzed. Methods A total 205 patients (130 boys 75 girls, 0.1–16.6 years age) who admitted to Hakodate Chuo General Hospital 1 January 31 December 1997 submitted our study. We divided 365 days into two groups with without any admissions....
The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various variants; however, the identification pathogenic variants remains a challenge. We aimed to identify or likely in CCSD patients by using WES and 2015 American College Medical Genetics Genomics (ACMG) standards guidelines as well evaluating usefulness functional studies for determining them.We performed 23 probands diagnosed with early-onset (<65 years)...
It is useful to advance simulated patient (SP) participation in teaching improve the communication skills of medical students, so this study aims explore current state Chinese mainland SP education.A cross sectional survey was designed utilizing well defined quantitative research methods and descriptive statistics. The questionnaire sought information which elucidated status SP-based education, origin learning, training, challenges learning strategy future developments. Questionnaires were...
Previous literature has reported that regular physical activity enhances health-related quality of life for cancer patients. However, there is a lack studies focus on among postoperative esophageal patients.The aims this study were to (1) describe the prevalence patients, (2) explore variables related (demographics, nutrition, dysphagia, and qualify life), (3) examine potential reasons inactivity participants who scored low using case studies.In cross-sectional design, was evaluated by...
We describe a rare case of pulmonary artery sling occurring simultaneously with tetralogy Fallot. This report describes the successful concomitant repair both intracardiac anomalies.
Functionally single ventricle (f-SV) is susceptible to volume overload. Atrioventricular valve regurgitation (AVVR) tends develop and ventricular function deteriorates due excessive pulmonary blood flow following modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS). On the other hand, a small caliber graft has risks of early obstruction poor growth vascular beds. We assessed effect mBTS with 3-mm circumvent overload in f-SV on achievement right heart bypass. Eleven neonates infants at median age 24 days...
Aortic erosion is a serious complication that usually occurs shortly after Amplazter Septal Occluder (ASO) implantation for atrial septal defect (ASD). A seven-year-old girl was diagnosed with secundum ASD without symptoms. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed of 20 mm in diameter the fossa ovalis aortic rim. An ASO device 24 selected and electively implanted. The “A-shape” confirmed by intraoperative TEE, landmark finding indicating proper patients After an uneventful postoperative...
Loneliness and social isolation are common among older adults. To deliver high-quality care to patients, healthcare professionals should know the conditions of their patients. Addressing determinants health (SDH) in daily practice is beneficial both patients professionals. We illustrate a patient with congestive heart failure cognitive decline whose improved through an SDH assessment. An assessment has some potential advantages, which include facilitating comprehensive understanding...
Anti-oppressive practice (AOP) provides a framework that challenges structural inequities and illuminates the lives of both patients professionals. We introduce AOP into primary care in Japan.
Japan is experiencing significant demographic shifts due to an aging and declining population. In 1993, the Japanese Government introduced Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) accept foreign national workers. While number of technical intern trainees under this program has constantly increased, many them face challenges in their daily lives, such as stress, health insecurities limited access healthcare. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study assess mental well-being trainees,...
