Acute urinary tract infection (UTI) is a highly common clinical condition. Although bacterial culture the gold standard diagnostic test, false negative results may be possible, leading to pathogen being unidentified. In recent years, DNA sequencing analysis has garnered much attention, but studies are rare in Japan. this study, we assessed usefulness of next-generation (NGS) for acute UTI patients. We thus performed an observational, retrospective case series study. Urine and blood samples...
This study aimed to determine the accuracy of quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score in predicting mortality among prehospital patients with and without infection. single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional was conducted who arrived via emergency medical services (EMS). We calculated qSOFA Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) from records. identified as infected if they received intravenous antibiotics at department or within first 24 hours. Receiver operating...
Green tea leaves fermented with Aspergillus luchuensis var kawachii kitahara (Cha-Koji) are a health food containing live A. luchuensis. In this study, we examined the effects of Cha-Koji on immune system and enteric environment. First, designed clinical trial; after ingesting daily for 28 days, blood parameters fecal composition participants were analyzed. Similarly, mice administered (oral administration) suspension or its vehicle 14 days. Thereafter, both humans by analyzing their cell...
Objective: To assess the cardiovascular and renal effects of sympathetic denervation in two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) renovascular hypertension. Design method: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 5 groups: 2K1C concurrent bilateral (RDN) (RDN-2K1C); RDN 2-weeks after (RDN-2W-2K1C); alone (2K1C); sham operation (Sham) control (CON). was achieved by severing visible nerves around artery with adjunctive chemical 10% phenol. Weekly blood pressure measured during 5-week period. Twenty-four...
症例は68歳女性．2年前より心房中隔欠損症（以下ASD）を指摘されていた．労作時呼吸困難が出現し，前医を受診した．胸部X線写真で心拡大，両側肺野の浸潤影があり，ASDによる心不全と診断された．術前検査を行ったところ，心エコーで以前までは指摘されていなかった可動性のある大動脈弁腫瘍があり，乳頭状弾性線維腫と診断された．術中所見では大動脈弁の3尖すべてに腫瘍が存在し，最大のものは無冠尖にあり，9×7 mmであった．弁を温存して腫瘍のみを切除するのは不可能と判断し，大動脈弁置換術およびASDパッチ閉鎖術を行った．可動性のある乳頭状弾性線維腫は梗塞のリスクが高く，サイズにかかわらず早期の手術が必要と考えられる．腫瘍のみの切除が不可能に考えられる場合には弁置換術が適応になると考えられた．
