<title>Abstract</title> Background The effects of ocular shape changes on the retina have been studied in pathologic myopia. However, it is not well known whether there are individual differences non-pathologic myopia and influence retinochoroidal disease these eyes. Ultra-wide-field OCT (UWF-OCT), which has recently become available, a wider imaging range can be used to evaluate inferior posterior staphyloma (IPS). We aimed investigate effect IPS Haller vessel running patterns (HVRPs)...
Abstract Background Effects of macular shape changes on the retina have been studied in pathologic myopia. However, whether there are individual differences non-pathologic myopia and influence retinochoroidal disease these eyes is not well known. A recently developed ultra-wide-field optical coherence tomography (UWF-OCT) has a wider imaging range can be used to evaluate inferior posterior staphyloma (IPS). We aimed investigate effect IPS Haller vessel running patterns (HVRPs) healthy using...
Concomitant heart failure is associated with poor clinical outcome in dialysis patients. The arteriovenous shunt, created as vascular access for hemodialysis, increases ventricular volume-overload, predisposing patients to developing cardiac dysfunction. integral function of mitochondrial respiration critically important the cope hemodynamic overload. involvement, however, activity or reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathogenesis ventricular-overload-induced has not been fully elucidated. We...
Helicobacter cinaedi infection is rarely encountered in nonimmunocompromised patients. We report the case of an 85-year-old man who presented with axillobifemoral bypass graft caused by cinaedi. The patient was not immunocompromised. successfully treated him iliac stenting native artery, near-total removal infected graft. At present, 48 months later, doing well at home, no evidence infection. To best our knowledge, this first a prosthetic
Foam rolling is a self-applied massage using foam roller that has gained popularity for treatment of muscle soreness. However, its efficacy improving hip pain in patients with osteoarthritis remains unclear.To investigate the effects on osteoarthritis.In this retrospective propensity-matched cohort study, medical records outpatients between January 2017 and March 2019 were reviewed. Of these, 115 divided into or non-foam groups based home exercises. Both propensity-score matched (1:1) age,...
An 87-year old man with a past medical history of descending aortic aneurysm for 20 years presented progressive dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia. Computed tomography angiography demonstrated the impending rupture thoracic (TAA) endoscopic examinations revealed extrinsic compression middle oesophagus Rokitansky's diverticulum proximal to area. He underwent urgent endovascular repair, followed by oesophageal stenting. The patient's symptoms immediately improved, postoperative period was...
Although some patients with fulminant myocarditis can be rescued owing to the improvements in mechanical circulatory support therapy, there are few reports providing evidence of cardiac rehabilitation during supports, particularly among pediatric patients. We treated two who underwent aggressive support. Five days after initiation extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy was started a 10-year-old girl myocarditis. After explantation device, she discharged on postoperative day 23. A...
We encountered a 12-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who developed low-grade cervicothoracic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). Computed tomography of the neck showed an elastic firm measuring 7 × 6 4 cm and arising from upper mediastinum. She had no pain or neurological symptoms, but enlarged to ca. 8 over following months. Although we diagnosed neurofibroma by preoperative incisional biopsy, resected MPNST in central portion tumor. In treating patient NF1,...
Brain injury remains an ongoing concern for patients requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. Observations in a neonatal pig model of build-up blood ammonia levels may be significant unrecognized source metabolic stress these surgeries. Ammonia entering the brain upon restarting CPB pump appears highly correlated with level hypothermia and glutamine/glutamate lactate levels. These changes are also strongly dependent on choice surgical parameters such use deep cardiac arrest (whereby...
To measure and validate elevated succinate in brain during circulatory arrest a piglet model of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Computational modeling indicated that pathological high shear stress (HSS; 100 dyn/cm2) is generated in pulmonary arteries (PAs; 100-500 µm) congenital heart defects causing PA hypertension (PAH) and idiopathic PAH with occlusive vascular remodeling. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) a feature of PAH. We hypothesize HSS induces EndMT, contributing to the initiation progression used Ibidi perfusion system determine whether applied human endothelial cells (ECs) EndMT when compared...
Abstract Aim Studies regarding changes in antibodies to hepatitis E virus (HEV) after HEV infection organ transplant patients are limited. This study aimed clarify trends who contracted using data from a previous Japanese nationwide survey. Methods was undertaken 2012 2019. Among 4518 liver, heart, and kidney patients, anti‐HEV immunoglobulin G (IgG) were positive 164; collected 106 of these consented participate the study. In total, 32 liver seven heart 67 16 institutions Japan examined for...
An 82-year old woman presented with chest pain and was diagnosed as having acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed 90% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD). The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention using a sirolimus-eluting stent (SES). A repeat CAG performed 6 months after SES implantation revealed no problems. Eight years later, recurrent angina. severe of large aneurysm. We off-pump bypass grafting without ligation or...
症例は24歳，男性．17歳時より上腹部の激痛を主訴に4回入院加療．2010年4月に同様の症状にて救急外来を受診し入院．腹部造影CTにて腸間膜基部に形成された異常なバンドを同定し，十二指腸水平脚の欠如・Treitz靱帯の無形成より腸回転異常症と診断した．このバンドが上腸間膜静脈枝を圧迫し，空腸が急激に鬱血・肥厚したことが腹痛の原因と考え，待機的に手術を施行した．腸間膜基部のバンド状の肥厚を切開し，空腸起始部周囲の自由度を確保した．術後の腹部造影CT・上部消化管造影では，腸間膜基部の異常バンドは消失し空腸壁の浮腫は認められず，十二指腸の走行は生理的走行に類似していた．現在術後2年だが，症状の再発なく良好に経過している．原因不明の腹痛を繰り返す症例には，腸回転異常を念頭に置いて精査を行い，腸回転異常症と診断した場合には積極的に手術を考慮する必要がある．
