At present, lifestyle-related diseases are one of the most critical health issues worldwide. It has been reported that lipopolysaccharide derived from a Gram-negative bacteria (IP-PA1) symbiotic with wheat exhibited several advantageous biological effects, such as reduction plasma glucose levels in NOD mice and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) WHHL rabbits. In this study, beneficial effects on lipids tea (SI tea) consisting IP-PA1 Salacia (which contains an inhibitor α-glucosidase) were...
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compression neuropathy wherein the median nerve compressed inside of carpal canal. Its diagnosis made clinically, electrophysiologically, and sometimes by canal pressure measurement. The objective surgical management this condition decompression nerve. We usually measure preoperatively postoperatively using continuous infusion technique for diagnoses as well postoperative evaluation following our Universal Subcutaneous Endoscope system procedure. To evaluate...
In long-term haemodialysis patients, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) frequently occurs as a result of amyloid deposition, originating from beta-2 microglobulin, to the flexor retinaculum, paratenons and tendons themselves, which leads an increase in canal pressure compression median nerve. Surgical procedures can rectify condition, but continuing maintenance sometimes causes recurrence. We endoscopically operated 1848 hands primarily, 104 recurrent post-endoscopic procedure 130 post-open using...
We have analyzed postoperative long-term follow-up results of five years or more from idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome patients that underwent our complete canal release and decompression procedure uses the Universal Subcutaneous Endoscope system. In this series, 203 hands were followed up both clinically electrophysiologically. Final times determined by most recent electrophysiological measurements. Mean period was nine years. Tingling, pain (using a 3 gm needle) touch 2 von Frey hair) at...
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a relatively rare entrapment neuropathy with the lateral and medial plantar nerves entrapped inside of tarsal tunnel. When conservative treatment fails, standard open decompression nerve can be achieved by releasing flexor retinaculum foot through several-centimetre-long skin incision made along By contrast, we 1-cm portal at proximal part ankle, endoscopic release abductor hallucis muscle was using Universal Subcutaneous Endoscope (USE) system.Our procedure...
We retrospectively analyzed clinical results of 107 hands an elderly idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome group (65 years old and older) 234 a younger (under 65 old) following endoscopic canal release surgery. There were statistical differences in recovery rates for tingling, pain sensation touch (p < 0.01) periods 0.05). no rates, thumb abduction muscle power, electrophysiological examination results. Cervical spondylosis may affect postoperative subjective sensory disturbance, especially...
There are only a few treatment options for constipation and limited evidence of suitable treatments. Daiokanzoto (DKT) is Kampo medicine often used clincally to treat constipation. DKT laxative predominantly in Japan; however, clinical data on its efficacy safety lacking. Patients who DKT, but were intolerant either magnesium oxide (MgO; MgO group; n=16) or senna extract (Senna n=26) included the present study. The frequencies their bowel movements compared during 1 week prior following...
Forty patients long-term haemodialysis with a second recurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome and concomitant loss flexor tendon function due to adhesions were treated by excision the digitorum superficialis tendons. During procedure canal pressure was measured using continuous infusion technique. The preoperative mean 81 (SD, 53)mmHg. After removal all tendons, decreased 10 8)mmHg. clinical symptoms relieved hand strength finger motion improved in patients.
Many authors have reported various clinical provocation tests for diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, however, some cannot be administered correctly on patients who suffer from restricted wrist joint movement. We compiled positive rates a new diagnostic test (Okutsu test) carried out 3474 hands, and compared them their success with results other performed these same hands. The Okutsu rate was 72.4%. There were statistical differences between Phalen (69.8%) wrist-extension (60.2%) results....
Daiokanzoto (DKT) and lubiprostone (LPS) are drugs used for constipation, but few studies have compared them. This study examined the effectiveness, adverse events, medical economic efficiency of DKT LPS constipation. Patients who received (DKT group) those (LPS during admission to Ogaki Municipal Hospital between November 2012 May 2016 were enrolled. Drug efficacy was evaluated based on median value bowel movement frequency over 1 week before after drug administration, their safety by...
To minimize damage to healthy tissues, we have been performing endoscopically assisted cubital tunnel syndrome surgery based on endoscopic nerve findings since 1995. This is the first study focus for ulnar and subsequent postoperative clinical results. We analysed 82 upper extremities of 74 patients who had undergone release using Universal Subcutaneous Endoscope system. Endoscopic observations were made from a single 1- 3-cm portal incision at 10 cm proximal distal. The abnormal areas...
Background . Daikenchuto (DKT) is a Kampo medicine used for the treatment of constipation. In this study, we evaluated effectiveness DKT against Patients and Methods.

Background: Dellon et al. have reported that chronic nerve compression of the tibial inside tarsal tunnel, caused by diabetes mellitus, can be relieved following open decompression surgery. However, large skin incision resulting from Dellon’s procedure may cause wound healing problems. The authors report possibility a minimally invasive full endoscopic procedure. Methods: Operations were performed under local anesthesia without pneumatic tourniquet. An anesthetic agent was applied at...
Background: Some long-term hemodialysis patients suffer from multi-recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome because amyloid originating β 2 -microglobulin continues to be deposited mainly in the flexor tendons, tendon sheaths and retinaculum during maintenance hemodialysis. These deposits inside canal (tunnel) tissues increase pressure this leads compression of median nerve. When occurs, previous operative scarring soft tissue may prohibit further enlargement even if any decompression procedure is...
