It is well known that lateral areas of the prefrontal cortex (LPFC) play a central role in working memory (a critical basis various cognitive functions), but it remains unknown whether LPFC children preschool age responsible for memory. To address this issue, we adopted recently developed non-invasive imaging technique, optical topography (OT), which can potentially be applied to functional mapping childhood. We firstly examined changes activity using OT while adult subjects performed an...
Abstract. The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) plays a major role in both working memory (WM) and response inhibition (RI), which are fundamental for various cognitive abilities. We explored the relationship between these LPFC functions during childhood development by examining performance of two groups children visuospatial auditory WM tasks go/no-go RI task. In younger (59 5- 6-year-olds), on task correlated significantly with that Furthermore, accuracy task, particularly no-go trials....
For flexible control of behaviour, it is important to associate preceding behavioural response with its outcome. Since the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) plays a major role in such control, likely that this area has neuronal mechanism coding response-outcome, as reward/non-reward, based on nature made immediately before. To test hypothesis, we examined activity dlPFC while monkeys performed variant oculomotor delayed-response (ODR) task had two reward conditions. In task, correct was...
Data regarding the incidence, predictive factors, and clinical outcomes of post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) bleeding is limited in Asian cohort.This study sought to assess predictors prognostic impact post-TAVR late bleeding.This used Japanese multicenter registry data analyze 2,518 patients (mean age: 84.3 ± 5.2 years) who underwent TAVR. Late was defined as any postdischarge events after Baseline characteristics, including death rehospitalization were assessed with...
Background Although transcatheter aortic valve replacement ( TAVR ) is the least invasive treatment for patients with symptomatic stenosis, some hesitate to undergo procedure. We investigated clinical impact of delay after patient refusal . Methods and Results used Japanese OCEAN (Optimized Catheter valvular intervention) regsitry data 1542 who underwent Refusal was defined as at 1 time informed consent. Patients were separated into 2 groups: (28/1542, 1.8%) non-refusal (1514/1542, 98.2%)....
Pioglitazone has been shown to reduce the occurrence of fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). However, mechanisms such favorable effects remain speculative. The aim this study was investigate effect pioglitazone on arterial baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) 30 DM patients with recent MI. Patients were randomly assigned those taking (n = 15) not at 4 weeks after onset BRS, MSNA, calculated homeostasis model...
Background Muscle wasting is an important predictor of long-term outcome in patients with cardiovascular disease, but the prognostic value muscle non‒ST-segment‒elevation myocardial infarction not established. The aim this study to investigate wasting, defined by psoas mass index (PMI), infarction. Methods and Results A total 132 consecutive were prospectively enrolled between 2015 2018. Primary end point was incidence events including deaths, non-fatal infarction, or stroke. Cross-sectional...
Abstract Aims Loss of skeletal muscle mass is an important determinant associated with poor long‐term prognosis in patients acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, limited evidence available. This study investigated the prognostic value psoas index (PMI) ADHF. Methods and results A total 210 consecutive aged ≥60 years ADHF were enrolled using a prospective database between 2015 2017. Primary endpoint was incidence cardiac death. Cross‐sectional area at L3 vertebral level obtained...
Abstract: An 84‐year‐old woman undergoing maintenance hemodialysis presented with chest discomfort lasting several days and electrocardiographic abnormalities. She had stopped smoking 2 weeks earlier was experiencing irritability. Upon admission, electrocardiography showed ST‐segment elevation in leads I, II, aVF, V 2‐6 an abnormal Q wave III, aVF. Ultrasound cardiography left ventricular anteroapical akinesia basal hyperkinesia. The disappeared without specific therapy. During hospital 1–5,...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess the effect of chronic steroid use on periprocedural complications and clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Background Chronic increases risk mortality during surgery. Methods We investigated 1,313 consecutive patients with stenosis who underwent transfemoral (TF)‐TAVR using data from a Japanese multicenter registry. The baseline characteristics, including vascular (VCs), access route related VCs, were compared...
To evaluate the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on regional arterial stiffness assessed by strain rate using tissue Doppler imaging.Nineteen eligible patients were prospectively studied (mean age 62 ± 8 years, 68% men). Subjects with large vessel complications and/or diabetes mellitus excluded. The ascending aorta was measured imaging as an index stiffness, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) degree systemic arteriosclerosis. These indices compared before after...
Mini‐Abstract We present echocardiographic images of a patient with platypnea‐orthodeoxia syndrome associated the patent foramen ovale that was successfully diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiogram in sitting position. The postural changes ovale, which is difficult to detect transthoracic echocardiography, were dynamically detected real time three‐dimensional echocardiography. Because patients interatrial communication are not rare, this might be overlooked unexplained dyspnea. Therefore,...
