Abstract Background The association between dental status and mortality in community-dwelling older adults has been documented by several studies. aim of this study was to analyze the contribution self-assessed chewing ability, number remaining teeth serum albumin levels interactions three factors. Methods A 20-year follow-up conducted with 666 subjects aged 80 years (from 1996 2017) who resided 8 areas served one health center Iwate Prefecture. Health check-ups including physical fitness...
An epidemiological survey on the incidence of juvenile chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis was performed in 10,220 apparently healthy school children Ishikawa district, Japan. The subject present study included 6,244 (2,831 boys and 3,413 girls, ages 6-18 yrs.) Kanazawa City 3,976 (2,055 1,921 Wajima City. first group selected as a representative urban area second that seaside area. Children who have goiter or firm thyroid were for testing antithyroglobulin anti-microsomal antibodies sera. Final...
Recent X-ray study of middle-aged supernova remnants (SNRs) reveals strong radiative recombination continua (RRCs) associated with overionized plasmas, which the origin still remains uncertain. We report our discovery an RRC in SNR 3C 391. If spectrum is fitted a two-temperature plasma model collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE), residuals Si XIV Ly alpha line at 2.006 keV, S XVI 2.623 keV and edge XIII 2.666 are found. The better described by composite consisting CIE recombining (RP)....
This paper reports results of a Suzaku observation the supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 79 (G33.6+0.1). The X-ray spectrum is best fitted by two-temperature model: non-equilibrium ionization (NEI) plasma and collisional equilibrium (CIE) plasma. NEI spatially confined within inner radio shell with kT~0.8 keV, while CIE found in more extended regions associated outer kT~0.2 keV solar abundance. Therefore, attributable to SN ejecta forward shocked interstellar medium. In plasma, we discovered...
Associations of numbers teeth present and missing with Alzheimer's disease were cross-sectionally analyzed using the National Database Health Insurance Claims Specific Checkups Japan. Dental care claims data patients aged 60 years or older diagnosed periodontitis (n = 4,009,345) 662,182) used to obtain information about teeth, respectively, they combined medical including diagnosis disease. Numbers excluding third molars calculated dental formula in for categorized into three groups each....
To determine whether monocyte-derived humoral factors such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), and IL-6 modulate serum thyroid hormone levels in infectious disorders, we measured of these products, T3, T4, C-reactive protein (CRP) 59 out-patients with acute respiratory infection, aged 5 months to 15 yr (mean +/- SD, 5.7 4.2 yr). minimize individual variation their clinical nutritional conditions, selected fever lasting for at least 3 days who had no...
Surface soil moisture (SSM) is a key parameter for land surface hydrological processes. In recent years, satellite remote sensing images have been widely used SSM estimation, and many methods based on satellite-derived spectral indices also to estimate the content in various climatic conditions geographic locations. However, achieving an accurate estimation of at high spatial resolution remains challenge. Therefore, improving precision through synergies multi-source data has become...
To understand the patterns of fruit-bird interactions and to identify species with significant roles that are irreplaceable in these (key species), we classified plant types according traits relating frugivory by birds, analyzed relationships between frugivorous birds a primary lucidophyllous forest Japan. At 4-ha study site, 111 were bird-dispersed 15 common bird frugivorous. The growth form was divided into overstory, understory, liana. phenological pattern fruiting "summer", "fall",...
