Fatty liver disease (FLD) including non-alcoholic fatty (NAFLD), a rapidly emerging and widely recognized today, is regarded as hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Helicobacter pylori, one the most common pathogens worldwide, has been reported to be associated with syndrome, but whether there direct association FLD yet unclear. The aim this study was clarify NAFLD causative background factors pylori infection.This cross-sectional Japanese adults who received medical checkups at...
Background Despite the marked increase of diverticulosis, its risk factors have not been adequately elucidated. We therefore aim to identify significantly associated with diverticulosis. also investigate present state diverticulosis in Japan. Methods reviewed medical records from 1990 2010 that included data consecutive 62,503 asymptomatic colonoscopy examinees general population Most recent 3,327 were analyzed 16 background factors. Results Among subjects (47,325 men and 15,178 women; 52.1...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a very common disorder worldwide, comprised of esophagitis (RE) and non-erosive (NERD). As more than half GERD patients are classified into the NERD group, precise evaluation bothersome epigastric symptoms essential. Nevertheless, compared with many reports targeting endoscopic esophagitis, large-scale studies focusing on have been scarce. To elucidate lifestyle factors affecting symptoms, 19,864 healthy adults in Japan were analyzed. Sub-analyses...
To clarify the effectiveness of second-look endoscopy (SLE) at preventing bleeding after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).A multicentre prospective randomised controlled non-inferiority trial was conducted five referral institutions across Japan. Patients with a solitary neoplasm were enrolled. Exclusion criteria previous oesophagogastric surgery or radiation therapy; perforation and administration antithrombotics, steroids non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. assigned to SLE...
Background Despite the high prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), its risk factors are still a subject controversy. This is probably due to inadequate distinction between esophagitis (RE) and non-erosive (NERD), also evaluation adjacent stomach. Our aim therefore define background RE NERD independently, based on Helicobacter pylori infection gastric atrophy. Methods We analyzed 10,837 healthy Japanese subjects (6,332 men 4,505 women, aged 20–87 years) who underwent upper...
This multicenter study aimed to elucidate the association between sleep duration and various lifestyle-related disorders in healthy adults Japan. A total of 62,056 participants (age: 49.4 ± 10.9 years) who received medical checkups from 2010 2020 were analyzed cross-sectionally longitudinally. The mean was 6.2 1.0 h men 6.1 women. distribution showed that older people tended longer, which clearly observed but not Univariate analyses age, lower body mass index (BMI), habitual drinking,...
The objective of this study was to assess prospectively the diagnostic accuracy computer-assisted computed tomographic colonography (CTC) in detection polypoid (pedunculated or sessile) and nonpolypoid neoplasms compare between gastroenterologists radiologists.This nationwide multicenter prospective controlled trial recruited 1,257 participants with average high risk colorectal cancer at 14 Japanese institutions. Participants had CTC colonoscopy on same day. images were interpreted...
Background Several previous studies have suggested that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection affects the serum lipid profile. However, it remains controversial and mechanism has not been elucidated. The purpose of this study is to use an epidemiological perspective evaluate association between H. Methods Multivariate analysis was performed using data profile, status pylori, fitness/lifestyle habits, various subjects’ characteristics which were derived from 15,679 generally healthy...
Spinal cord ischaemia (SCI) is a serious complication of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The purpose this study was to assess the incidence, risk factors, clinical manifestations SCI after TEVAR and which type patients could benefit from cerebrospinal fluid drainage.A retrospective review conducted for 175 who underwent January 2008 July 2014. All were divided into groups with without SCI, they compared identify significant factors SCI.The incidence including paraplegia...
Abstract Poly‐ L ‐lactide (PLLA) plates, 20 × 10 1 mm in size, with flat surfaces, were implanted into 50 young male Wistar rats subcutaneously, and the incidence of tumors for 2 years under specific pathogen‐free (SPF) conditions was evaluated. Tumors arose 22 (at implant sites 20, distant from implantation site 2). As a control, plates medical‐grade polyethylene same shape rats. appeared 23 these (21 at ectopically). In 30 given sham operations, no year observation period. Histologically,...
The purpose of this article is to evaluate the efficacy IV hyoscine butylbromide as a bowel relaxant and automated carbon dioxide insufflation in CT colonography terms colonic distention perceived burden. SUBJECTS AND METHODS; Two hundred twenty-four participants were randomly allocated one four groups: control (no saline placebo before with manual insufflation), (IV examination combined (hyoscine insufflation). degree on 4-point scale, time, participants' satisfaction, measured by their...
Helicobacter pylori eradication is expected to significantly change the prevalence of Barrett's esophagus (BE). However, few reports on this relationship exist. We analyzed risk factors BE using current consensus length considering H. infection status.We 10,122 individuals (5,962 men; mean age = 52.9 ± 9.9 years) who had undergone esophagogastroduodenoscopy as part a medical checkup. Correlations among including infectious status, endoscopic findings, and ≥1 cm were analyzed.Prevalence BE,...
Very limited data exist on the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) since Japanese marketing approval first TAVI device.Methods and Results:The Kyoto University-related hospital Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (K-TAVI) registry includes prospectively collected from 6 participating hospitals in Japan. We included 302 patients with severe stenosis who underwent using SAPIEN XT balloon-expandable via transfemoral (TF; n=203, 67%) or transapical (TA; n=99, 33%)...
We sought to investigate cusp size limitations for valve repair in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR).Preoperative computed tomography was performed 105 patients. Cusp geometric height (GH) and annulus were measured. Mean patient age 60.7 ± 13.7 years. GH of 3 cusps used the analysis. Annulus mismatch graded using predicted coaptation length. Patients categorized by mean into group S (GH <16 mm; n = 35) or L ≥16 70).Preoperative 17.1 2.3 mm. body significantly correlated (r 0.61)....
