Neonatal sepsis is difficult to diagnose and pathogens cannot be detected from blood cultures in many cases. Development of a rapid accurate method for detecting thus essential. The main purpose this study was identify etiological agents clinically diagnosed neonatal using bacterial ribosomal RNA-targeted reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (BrRNA-RT-qPCR) conduct comparisons with the results conventional culture. Since BrRNA-RT-qPCR targets RNA, detection rates approach may exceed those...
We aimed to clarify the prevalence of polypharmacy among elderly individuals in Japan. used data obtained from a large-scale population-based representative database health insurance claims single prefecture examined all outpatient and pharmaceutical for National Health Insurance those Late-stage Elderly Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan between April June 2016. When two or more claim forms were issued patient month, we combined identified number prescribed drugs each person. The definition is...
Culture tests have demonstrated that once-daily administration of amoxicillin may be effective in the treatment group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. However, culture methods do not allow accurate assessments bacterial load changes because suppressive effect antibiotic on growth. In this study, we used real-time PCR to compare effectiveness and multiple-daily for pediatric patients with GAS The subjects were children (≧3 years age) diagnosed Amoxicillin was administered at a dose 40–50...
In the 2010s, several unusual rotavirus strains emerged, causing epidemics worldwide. This study reports a comprehensive molecular epidemiological of rotaviruses in Japan based on full-genome analysis. From 2014 to 2019, total 489 rotavirus-positive stool specimens were identified, and associated viral genomes analyzed by next-generation sequencing. The genotype constellations those classified into nine patterns (G1P[8] (Wa), G1P[8]-E2, G1P[8] (DS-1), G2P[4] G3P[8] G8P[8] G9P[8] G9P[8]-E2)....
Our previous study suggested that the production of superantigens and heat-shock protein 60 by small intestinal bacteria might play a role in Kawasaki disease (KD). We demonstrated they were all resistant to commonly used antibiotics, except for sulamethoxazole trimethoprim (SMX-TMP). SMX-TMP 7 cases KD unresponsive intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) studied antipyretic potency this treatment. In 6 out cases, we was observed without side effects within 2 days initial administration....
Pictograms are graphic symbols also called picture symbols. They widely used, mainly in public accommodations. However, it is hard to say that meaning can be grasped quickly from a single pictogram. In most cases, pictograms accompanied by some explanatory written text. this paper, we propose new method of displaying pictograms, two slightly different successively, using the difference between frames promote understanding. We limit ourselves because higher number makes difficult clearly...
