The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011, with a nuclear accident subsequently occurring at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. government ordered mandatory evacuation from high radioactive concentration area in Fukushima, which might have forced many evacuees to change particular aspects of their lifestyles. This study assessed hypothesis that mean body weight and proportion overweight/obese individuals would increase among after versus before disaster.A...
On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in Japan, with a nuclear accident subsequently occurring at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The disaster forced many evacuees to change particular aspects of their lifestyles. This study assessed hypothesis that evacuation may have increased risk hypertension among residents Fukushima. A longitudinal examined data collected from 31 252 Japanese participants aged 40 74 years sourced general health checkups conducted 13...
The Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011 forced the evacuation of a large number residents created changes lifestyle evacuees. These may have affected evacuees’ glucose metabolism, thereby leading to an increase incidence diabetes. This study included Japanese men women who were living near Nuclear Power Plant prefecture before disaster. Subjects subsequently underwent annual health checkups with focus on metabolic syndromes, which conducted under Health...
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major etiologic agents hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The surveillance data indicate that EV71 infection follows an epidemic mode transmission, causing large outbreaks then becoming quiescent for a few years.We investigated genetic diversity total 121 strains isolated from patients with HFMD in Fukushima, Japan, 1983 to 2003 compared their relation 164 world using phylogenetic analysis based on VP4 sequence.We observed EV71-related Fukushima 1984,...
Background. There have been few controlled studies of combined therapy with multiple drugs, including immunosuppressives, for severe Henoch-Schoenlein nephritis (HSPN). We evaluated the efficacy methylprednisolone and urokinase pulse cyclophosphamide patients HSPN at least grade IVb. Methods. studied 37 who had diagnosed Of them, 20 (Group A) were treated therapy, 17 B) cyclophophamide. analysed clinical features, laboratory pathological findings two groups retrospectively. Results. After 6...
After the Great East Japan Earthquake, over 160,000 residents near Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant were forced to evacuate due a nuclear accident. Health problems in these evacuees have since become major issues. We examined association between evacuation and incidence of metabolic syndrome (METS) among Fukushima.We conducted cohort study aged 40-74 years without METS at time disaster Fukushima. Among 20,269 who met inclusion criteria before disaster, 8,547 (3,697 men 4,850 women;...
We investigated the relationship of neonatal and maternal serum creatinine (nSCr mSCr, respectively) with various maternal/infant characteristics at different gestational ages (GA). reviewed medical records neonates admitted to NICU. collected data on birth weight, GA, Apgar scores, medications, etc. Spearman’s test was used analyze correlation between continuous variables, Mann-Whitney U Kruskal-Wallis tests for variables groups. The changes in nSCr, nSCr/mSCr ratio because age points...
To clarify the risk factors related to prognosis in patients with Henoch-Schoenlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), we investigated cases HSPN on long-term observation.We enrolled 114 who had been diagnosed from 1974-1997. These were divided into 2 groups based upon features at last follow-up. One group, designated "favorable", consisted of 69 normal urine and 25 minor urinary abnormalities, second "unfavorable", 15 active renal disease 5 failure. The clinical features, laboratory data...
Abstract It has not been clarified if there is a correlation between rhinovirus (RV) load and disease severity in the lower respiratory tract infections of hospitalized children. This study was undertaken to elucidate contribution viral development 412 children ≤3 years age who were with infections. The RV nasopharyngeal aspirates obtained from patients at time admission measured by real‐time quantitative reverse‐transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR), clinical symptoms assessed using...
Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of methylprednisolone and urokinase pulse therapy (MUPT) for severe Henoch-Schönlein nephritis, we examined clinical manifestation prognosis patients with MUPT on long-term observation. Methods. We enrolled 56 Henoch-schönlein nephritis who had been diagnosed at least type IIIb from 1980 to 1998 observation treated MUPT. The features, laboratory data, pathologic findings between “pre-MUPT” “post-MUPT,” these were retrospectively investigated. Results....
Objective. To characterize adenoviral respiratory infection, we evaluated clinical features, laboratory findings and serum cytokine concentrations in patients with infection compared them those influenza virus syncytial (RSV) infections. Methods. We enrolled 106 who had been diagnosed acute viral caused by adeno-, viruses from January, 1995, through December, 1998. Forty-nine adenovirus 19 38 RSV infection. Etiologic diagnosis was made based on the antigen detection enzyme immunoassay...
Clinicopathological features were investigated to clarify the ultimate prognosis and prognostic indicators for patients with IgA nephropathy in Japanese children.We evaluated outcomes of 181 whom was diagnosed before age 15 years since September 1979 followed-up at least three regard clinical data onset symptoms renal histologic data.After mean follow-up 7.3 from onset, 91 (50.3%) remission last examination, 24 (13.2%) had isolated hematuria, 59 (32.6%) hematuria proteinuria. Eighteen (9.9%)...
To clarify the chronologic genetic diversity of coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) strains associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) epidemics in a restricted area their relation those isolated other areas, we investigated 129 CV-A16 HFMD Fukushima, Japan, from 1983 to 2003, compared 49 areas Japan China by using phylogenetic analysis based on VP4 sequences. Phylogenetic reconstruction Fukushima 2003 demonstrated three distinct genetically divergent clusters related that occurred 1984...
The Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster forced people to evacuate their hometowns. Many evacuees from government-designated evacuation zone were change lifestyle, diet, exercise, other personal habits. Comprehensive Health Check (CHC), 1 of 4 detailed surveys Management Survey (FHMS), was implemented support prevention lifestyle-related disease. aim this study analyze changes in red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb) levels, hematocrit (Ht) levels by...
Twelve high schools in Japan (of which six are Fukushima Prefecture), four France, eight Poland and two Belarus cooperated the measurement comparison of individual external doses 2014. In total 216 high-school students teachers participated study. Each participant wore an electronic personal dosimeter "D-shuttle" for weeks, kept a journal his/her whereabouts activities. The distributions annual estimated each region overlap with other, demonstrating that locations where residence is...
Objective The Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster forced evacuation of residents led to many changes in lifestyle evacuees. A comprehensive health check was implemented support prevention lifestyle-related disease, we analyzed lipid metabolism before after these disasters. Methods Subjects included Japanese men women living near power plant Prefecture. Annual checkups, focusing on metabolic syndromes, were conducted for persons ≥40 years age by Heath Care...
