An international, expert-led consensus initiative to develop systematic, evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of noninfectious uveitis in era biologics.The availability biologic agents human eye disease has altered practice patterns management uveitis. Current guidelines are insufficient assure optimal use noncorticosteroid systemic immunomodulatory agents.An international expert steering committee comprising 9 specialists (including both ophthalmologists and rheumatologists)...
We evaluated the health status of residents and environmental risk factors housing after flooding. Questionnaires were distributed to 595 selected households (one adult resident per household) in six areas Japan which severely flooded between 2004 2010. A total 379 responses obtained. Indoor dampness visible mold growth significantly increased homes with greater flood damage. The incidence respiratory, dermal, ocular, nasal symptoms one week flooding was higher compared non-flooded homes,...
In the recent year's energy consumptions has increased, especially in office buildings for heating and cooling use. Adaptive behaviours such as clothing adjustments, window opening, fan use, use are important contributing factors thermal comfort of occupants. The main objectives this study is to clarify different behavioural adaptations carried out by occupants Japanese compare with previous studies. occupant behaviour models were developed adjustments air-conditioning Occupant survey was...
Comfort temperature is important to investigate because the chosen office indoor temperatures affect energy used in a building, and thermally comfortable environment makes occupants be more productive. The effects of on comfort are broadly recognized for thermal comfort. Japanese buildings well equipped with air-conditioning systems improve occupants. main objectives this research were compare winter mixed mode (MM) heating, ventilation (HVAC) relationship between air temperature. This study...
Abstract This paper presents the finite element method of analysis tidal flow. Assuming that flow is periodic, Galerkin approach employed as numerical integration procedure in time using a trigonometric function interpolation function. The present has shown to be suitable for computation especially from point computing and stability.
Sleep apnea syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We previously reported that intermittent hypoxia superoxide production in a manner dependent on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate accelerates adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling. Recent studies have suggested hydrogen (H(2)) may an antioxidant effect by reducing hydroxyl radicals. In this study, we investigated effects H(2) gas inhalation lipid metabolism LV remodeling induced mice. Male...
The preparation of an implant site using a surgical drill is common procedure in orthopedic surgery, such as for the internal fixation fractures. An increase temperature during results potential thermal invasion bone, which may delay healing or reduce stability fixation. Therefore, minimizing bone drilling important to ensure implant, and this requires drills with optimal design. This study investigated design by comparing characteristics (i.e., cutting force increase) Taguchi fractional...
A field survey of indoor environmental measurements and questionnaires on thermal sensation, overall comfort, behaviors was conducted in four office buildings Japan by visiting each every month over a duration more than year during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The environment measured concurrently. We obtained 1047 votes from workers their 20s to 60s. regression Griffiths’ methods were used calculate comfort temperature. logistic analysis develop occupant behavior model....
Fungal community analyses in homes have been attracting attention because fungi are now generally considered to be allergens. Currently, these conducted using the culture method, although fungal communities households often contain species that difficult culture. In contrast, next-generation sequencing (NGS) represents a comprehensive, labor- and time-saving approach can facilitate identification. However, reliability of NGS method has not compared method. this study, an attempt demonstrate...
Previous studies have reported the relationship between housing environment and health, although due to cost effort, it was difficult conduct condition surveys on a large scale. The CASBEE Housing Health Checklist (the Checklist) made possible easily evaluate from resident's perspective. This study examined coldness/warmth evaluation using psychological distress in large-scale general Japanese population.A cross-sectional study.We analysed data 29,380 people aged ≥20 years who lived Miyagi...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can cause health problems for residents and are one of the causes sick building syndrome. Therefore, this study measured VOCs in 116 houses winter 66 summer Japan, including detached apartment houses. The diffusion sampler method was used field measurements. Living rooms bedrooms were sampled to confirm concentration characteristics differences between two locations. In addition, a questionnaire survey conducted identify type house, residence period,...
Fungal contamination in the indoor air of prefabricated temporary houses at site Great East Japan Earthquake revealed extremely high levels compared to those found conventional residences. We experimentally investigated fungal growth on different interior materials support overgrowth houses. Three species each allergenic fungi and invasive observed housing were selected for inoculation tests with various materials. The experiments conducted conformance standards industrial products described...
