The prevalence of gastrointestinal metastasis lung cancer is low. aim the present study was to analyze frequency and clinical characteristics metastases tract by retrospectively assessing records 2,066 patients with cancer. A total 7 (0.33%) were diagnosed metastasis, including 4 adenocarcinoma, 1 patient large cell carcinoma 2 pleomorphic carcinoma. Furthermore, 3 presented small bowel metastases, gastric appendix. mean time between diagnosis tumors identification 13.5 months (range, 3‑49...
The frequency of falls increases with age. In Japan, the population is aging rapidly, and fall prevention measures are an urgent issue. However, assessing risk during coronavirus disease pandemic was complicated by social distancing implemented to prevent disease, while traditional assessments that involve actual measurements complicated. This prospective cohort study predicted in community-dwelling older adults using assessment method does not require measurements. A survey conducted among...
Purpose To investigate the classification and characteristics of frailty transition in older adults over a 1-year period. Method A three-wave mailed cohort survey was conducted community setting. Data from 361 participants who answered all items were analyzed. Group-based multivariate trajectory modeling (GBTM) used to classify transitions three time points. Results GBTM revealed best fit when divided into four groups (G1: “worsened after 1 year” [ n = 94, 26%]; G2: “maintained status” 149,...
This study aimed to identify the characteristics of community-dwelling older people who are difficult reach by mail survey in anticipation a future infectious disease crisis. A baseline 1808 was conducted May 2021, and follow-up 935 respondents 2023. Factors predictive responding included age at baseline, sex, comorbidities, living with family, long-term care insurance, history falls, Simple Frailty Index, Questionnaire on Changes Lifestyle Past Month (QCL). Participants were divided into (n...
Background Postoperative neck pain is common after cervical spine surgery, with potential progression to chronic pain. Objective To assess the role of trajectory in predicting postoperative following surgery and discern sex-based differences this relationship. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 133 patients (mean age:64.1 ± 11.9 years; 86 males, 47 females) undergoing surgery. Pain trajectory, defined by Numerical Rating Scale scores days 1, 3, 5, 7, analyzed using hierarchical...
ABSTRACT Objectives This study evaluated the image quality of smartglass‐supported Dynamic Computer‐Assisted Implant Surgery (dCAIS) by testing discernibility with a Landolt ring chart reproduced smartglasses and on dCAIS monitor. Materials Methods 15 participants’ was measured under four conditions using rings. Each condition 13 visual acuity levels, each level comprising three rings (39 per condition). Under Condition 1 (control), were monitor viewed without smartglasses; 2, through 3,...
Aim: To investigate the factors and impact strength affecting mobility in community-dwelling older adults using a general linear model that can adequately address issue of variables' distribution for more robust results. Methods: This cross-sectional study involving 103 participants was conducted to identify Life-Space Assessment scores based on data imputed hot-deck method. A complete case analysis performed as sensitivity analysis. Results Conclusions: Three associated with life-space were...
A novel method was developed to fabricate all-ceramic restorations which comprised CAD/CAM-fabricated machinable ceramic bonded zirconia framework using resin cement. The feasibility of this fabrication assessed in study by investigating the bonding strength a zirconia. plate three kinds cements: ResiCem (RE), Panavia (PA), and Multilink (ML). Conventional porcelain-fused-to-zirconia specimens were also prepared serve as control. Shear bond test (SBT) Schwickerath crack initiation (SCT)...
[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to understand coping strategies used during physical therapy clinical practice. [Subjects and Methods] Sixty-eight 77 students (88.3%) responded questionnaires, including a tri-axial scale stress reactions after practice (median age=22 years; 45 were male, 23 female; 37 third-year students, 31 fourth-year students). scores males females compared via descriptive statistics. In addition, stepwise logistic regression analysis performed. Dummy variables...
This study investigated whether adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies mediate the association between chronic pain health-related quality of life among older adults experiencing after lumbar surgery. Participants were 103 with either or both lower back leg surgery (median age = 75 years, men 44, women 59). Intensity (11-point numerical rating scale), physical activities (Physical Activity Scale for Elderly) as an strategy, (e.g. guarding, resting; Chronic Pain Coping Inventory),...
Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether kinesiophobia mediates the relationship between low back pain (LBP), leg (LP), and dysesthesia (LD) health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Japanese individuals aged 65 years old older treated with surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Patients Methods: Data collection this took place October 2019 August 2020 at two medical facilities. Eligibility criteria participants in were or those who had undergone LSS least more than one year ago....
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the relationship between degree peripheral neuropathy associated with treatment and physical activity through use objective indicators such as wristband tracker subjective evaluations obtained interviews.
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that knowledge derived from indirect assessments can be used identify fall risk factors during a period of social distancing. A baseline survey 1953 community-dwelling older adults was conducted in May 2020, with follow-up performed 2023 assess situation 3 years later. In total, 339 individuals were followed follow-up. Baseline age, sex, Questionnaire for Change Life, Frailty Screening Index, and Medical Checkup Old-Old (QMCOO) scores subscales...
This study aimed to explore factors associating with disability, which means physical impairment affecting a person's mobility, capacity, stamina, or agility, of non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) the acute and non-acute groups. Two hundred thirty-five patients NSLBP less than 8 weeks' duration as groups (n = 124) more group 111) were recruited. It was collected data on intensity, disability psychosocial factors, including catastrophising, fear movement self-efficacy. Disability measured...
Bleomycin (BLM) hydrolase, which hydrolyzes the carboxyamide bond in beta-amino-alanine moiety, was purified from newborn rat skin. The enzyme 2,500-fold over crude extract to apparent homogeneity five steps presence of 2-mercaptoethanol: 45-55% ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by chromatographies on Sephacryl S-200, DEAE-cellulofine, Phe-Superose, and Mono Q ion-exchange. native had a molecular mass 280 kDa according gel filtration. subunit estimated as 48 SDS-PAGE, indicating that...
