The Japan Cancer Surveillance Research Group aimed to estimate the cancer incidence in 2008 based on data collected from 25 of 34 population-based registries, as part Monitoring Incidence project. for was estimated be 749 767 (C00–C96). Stomach and breast were leading types males females, respectively.
Objective To study the effects of CS-045, a newly developed thiazolidine analogue, on glucose tolerance and insulin response to oral load in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Research Design Methods Nineteen NIDDM (mean ± SD age 48.9 9.4 yr) whose previous glycemic control diet and/or sulfonylurea (SU) therapy was judged stable but unsatisfactory (> 7.8 mM) were selected for this study. CS-045 (400 mg/day p.o.) given alone or together SU drugs 12 wk. A...
Intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) are relatively rare. Their incidence has been considered to be higher in East Asia than the United States. This study estimates of CNS GCTs Japan and States, investigates gender discrepancies each country, describes treatment outcomes. Data on primary from 4 databases were utilized: population-based malignant data (1) Cancer Surveillance Research Group (2004–2006; 14 registries), nonmalignant (2) Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program (2004–2008;...
The Japan Cancer Surveillance Research Group aimed to estimate the cancer incidence in 2007 based on data collected from 21 out of 33 population-based registries as part Monitoring Incidence (MCIJ) project. total number incidences for was estimated be 704 090 (C00–C96). Stomach and breast were leading types males females, respectively.
ObjectiveThe analysis of cancer trends in Japan has only been sporadically reported. We present a comprehensive report on the incidence and mortality using most recent population-based data.
The prognostic significance of white-coat hypertension (WCHT) is controversial, and different findings on self-measured home measurements 24-h ambulatory monitoring make identifying WCHT difficult. We examined whether individuals with partially or completely defined WCHT, as well masked hypertension, determined by out-of-office blood pressure measurements, have a distinct long-term stroke risk. followed 1464 participants (31.8% men; mean age, 60.6±10.8 years) in the general population...
The HLA-DQ β-chain (DQB1) genes of 72 Japanese patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 85 control subjects were studied polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) amplification allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization. DQw4 (DQBBIank) DQw9 (DQB3.3) increased in IDDM compared the subjects, DQB1.2, DQB1.9, DQw7 (DQB3.1) decreased. Thirty-five (48.6%) had both alleles carrying an aspartic acid at position 57 DQ (Asp 57), 35 Asp 57/non-Asp heterozygous, 2 (2.8%) non-Asp only. Of...
The aims of the present study were as follows: (i) to clarify proportion women who experience psychological distress during breast cancer diagnosis and (ii) identify predictors related diagnostic process.This was a longitudinal prospective required further examination. Questionnaires administered at pre-medical consultations (Time 1), after describing radiological examination 2), explaining pathological findings 3). All participants completed Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS),...
In Japan, population-based cancer incidence data are reported several years behind the latest year of mortality data. To bridge this gap, we aimed to determine a short-term projection method for incidence. Data between 1985 and 2007 were obtained from registries in four prefectures (Miyagi, Yamagata, Fukui Nagasaki). Three models examined: generalized linear model with age period (A + P linear); age, their interactions (A*P additive smoothed by spline spline). We performed 5-year 2000 2005,...
Human urinary C-peptide immunoreactivity (CPR) was measured by a double-antibody radioimmunoassay using synthetic human C-peptide. Urine CPR stable as long one year, if stored frozen. eluted gel filtration single peak in the region that corresponded to 125I-labeled Even patient with insulin antibody whose serum contained fraction higher molecular weight, urine its expected region. Normal subjects excreted 81 ± 36 μg. per day. excretion very low juvenile-onset diabetics, variable adult-onset...
The present study evaluated whether differences in the type of radiotherapy, disease stage, and self-esteem influence psychological distress quality life (QOL) among cervical cancer survivors. Sixty survivors, after chemoradiotherapy, or postoperative radiotherapy for cancer, participated study. participants were asked to complete questionnaires during follow-up visits. included Japanese version Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-General, Rosenberg...
Abstract We investigate whether and how technical cooperation aid (TC) facilitates technological diffusion from developed to developing countries, comparing it with foreign direct investment (FDI) external openness. Two robust findings emerge. First, TC, FDI openness all contribute international technology transfers seems the most, which is followed by TC. Second, around 6–17 countries out of 85 in our sample fail catch up leader over 36 years. These results suggest that as a policy...
Aim: Few studies have addressed stroke risk factors in older populations, particularly among the old-old. We examined differences traditional for old-old compared with young-old community-dwelling Japanese adults.
Abstract Weather index insurance has been attracting considerable attention from academics and policymakers. This study investigates the demand for two types of sold in India: temperature dry season rainfall subsequent monsoon season. Using data randomized subsidy experiments, we separate purchase quantity decisions investigate how is correlated with previous We find that price (premium) does not influence per se but significantly decisions. The demanded less price‐sensitive than it...
Using B-mode ultrasonography, an attempt was made to measure the volume of extraocular muscles and retrobulbar fat in 31 patients (62 orbits) with Graves' disease. None had exophthalmometric measurements greater than 21 mm or eye symptoms. The mean value muscle significantly larger that normal controls (6.48 +/- 2.70 cm3 3.25 1.30 cm3, respectively, p less 0.001). All swelling, although 2 them no change for their unilateral eye. increased as degree proptosis increased. tended increase...
