This work presents mixture models for the thermodynamic properties of mixtures R-1123 with R-32, R-1234yf, and R-290, which are potential refrigerants next-generation air conditioning systems. The based on multifluid approximation employ accurate Helmholtz energy equations state pure fluids. mixing parameters determined by fitting experimental data (p, ρ, T) behavior vapor–liquid equilibrium. range validity is approximately temperatures from 273 to 400 K pressures up 7 MPa. Typical...
Given the high prevalence of esophageal adenocarcinoma and Barrett's esophagus (BE), a precancerous lesion, among males, it is important to understand characteristics BE by sex develop an effective endoscopic surveillance program in Japan. The present study examined age distribution risk factors for Japanese health check-up cohort sex. data set at baseline our preceding multicenter study, comprising total 33,478 individuals who underwent upper screening 17 institutes across Japan, was...
Late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), defined as SLE developing after age 50, presents distinct clinical features influenced by immunosenescence. Compared to early-onset SLE, it often manifests with nonspecific symptoms such myositis-like weakness, serositis, and subtle features, complicating timely diagnosis. Given the complexity of comorbidities in elderly patients, distinguishing late-onset from other conditions is critical for appropriate management. We report a case 76-year-old...
Abstract Background To ascertain the indication of endoscopic resection (ER) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), accurate preoperative diagnosis tumor depth beyond cT1b-SM2 is crucial. This study aimed to assess efficacy combined approach utilizing narrow-band imaging with magnifying endoscopy (NBI-ME) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) discrimination lesions pT1b-SM2 or deeper. Methods Between 2016 2023, we retrospectively enrolled 127 cases (137...
Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG) is a novel biomarker for monitoring disease activity in inflammatory bowel (IBD). The aim of this study was to evaluate its utility activity. In retrospective based on case records between August 2020 and July 2021 at our two centers, we examined the correlation serum levels LRG C-reactive protein (CRP) with IBD patients. Background factors related were also analyzed. Overall, 47 Crohn's (CD) 123 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients evaluated. CD, CRP...
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are associated with the onset of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Although a new potassium-competitive acid blocker, vonoprazan, consistently shows more potent inhibitory effect in comparison to PPIs, risk CDI vonoprazan-treated patients relative those treated PPIs is unknown. In this retrospective case-control study, using nationwide hospital-based administrative database Japan, we investigated association vonoprazan.A case was defined as which patient...
Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare but often fatal acute pyogenic infection of the stomach. We herein report three cases phlegmonous with different causes: long-term placement nasogastric feeding tube, bacteremia associated cellulitis in diabetic patient, and an adverse reaction to paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy for cancer unknown primary cause, which were classified as primary, secondary, idiopathic types, respectively. Coping increasing morbidity rate diverse background such patients...
Background: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is one of the most common medical emergencies. We investigated overall mortality after GIB in our institute and analyzed prognostic factors upper (UGIB) lower (LGIB) separately. Summary: Between January 2010 December 2018, 190 patients diagnosed with hospital were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical records biological data collected. Risks for rebleeding in-hospital assessed by a logistic regression analysis. Overall, rate 22.6 7.6%, respectively....
Abstract Objectives Although Barrett's esophagus (BE), especially ultra‐short‐segment BE (USSBE), is very frequently diagnosed in Japan, how subjects feel about receiving a diagnosis of unclear. We therefore prospectively investigated cancer worry who received diagnosis. Methods Self‐administered questionnaires were sent to with at three health checkup institutes Akita Prefecture, Japan. The scale (CWS) was used quantitatively assess the fear developing cancer. classified into USSBE <1 cm...
The long-term impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on disruption gastrointestinal cancer diagnoses remains unclear. This study investigated actual esophagogastric (EGC) and colorectal (CRC) up to third year in Akita Prefecture, Japan, using population-based registry data. We collected data annual number EGC CRC a database from collaborative Prefecture hospital-based registration. net cancers diagnosed first three years (2020-2022) were compared with those before...
To investigate retrospectively the risk factors for synchronous and metachronous cancers in upper gastrointestinal tract patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).In who have received endoscopic resection (ER) ESCC, are frequently detected not only esophagus but also head neck area stomach.A total of 285 ER ESCC were enrolled this analysis. These periodically followed-up endoscopically. Cumulative occurrence rates second primary determined by Kaplan-Meier method....
Ultrashort-segment Barrett's esophagus (USSBE; length of <1 cm) is very frequently diagnosed in Japan, but the cancer risk USSBE unknown. In this study, by retrieving endoscopic images, we retrospectively investigated incidence esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) grade (BE) and compared findings with those gastric degree atrophy same population.Among consecutive participants who had undergone endoscopy for an annual health checkup 2014, 9121 received at least one follow-up December 2020 were...
