Abstract The real‐world evidence on the profiles of patients suffering from atopic dermatitis ( AD ) in Japan is sparse. A retrospective claim database analysis was conducted to estimate health‐care resource use HCRU and current treatment. Data October 2013 September 2016 were extracted JMDC (Tokyo, Japan) claims database. assessed by a comparison matched non‐ controls. multivariate performed attributable . n = 39 893) have more certain diagnoses such as rhinitis, viral fungal infections,...
Abstract Background Smartphone technology can support paperless reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The aims this study were to systematically assess smartphone ADR-reporting applications, understand their qualitative and quantitative impact on ADR reporting, garner key lessons from owners developers. Methods This had three components: (1) An assessment apps, (2) an online survey the app implementation experiences developers owners, (3) a search VigiBase, World Health Organization...
Posttrabeculectomy changes in bleb parameters measured using 3-dimensional (3-D) anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) remain uncharacterized and might be related to postsurgical intraocular-pressure (IOP) control.To evaluate time-dependent posttrabeculectomy filtering 3-D OCT.This prospective observational study was conducted at Kumamoto University Hospital, Kumamoto, Japan. Patients with open-angle glaucoma who underwent uncombined fornix-based trabeculectomy Hospital between...
Exosomes are informative microvesicles associated with intercellular communication via the transfer of many molecular constituents such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids; environmental changes cellular status around cells greatly affect exosome components. Cells retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) key players in homeostasis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β tumour necrosis (TNF)-α increased vitreous retina several diseases activate undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) RPE...
The object of this study is to investigate the effect early bleb parameters measured by three-dimensional anterior-segment optical coherence tomography on surgical success trabeculectomy.This retrospective included 45 patients with 19 exfoliation glaucoma, 17 primary open angle 4 neovascular uveitic glaucoma and 1 caused from familial amyloid polyneuropathy who underwent trabeculectomy. Bleb parameters, such as total height, position width filtration openings scleral flap, wall thickness,...
Objective Healthcare workers involved in, and negatively affected by, patient safety incidents are referred to as second victims. The Second Victim Experience Support Tool-Revised (SVEST-R) can reveal the victim’s degree of negative experiences desirability support options. However, a Japanese version SVEST-R (J-SVESTR) has not yet been developed. This study aimed translate adapt into validate its psychometric properties. Methods We performed forward back translations evaluated clarity...
This study aims, through a comprehensive survey, to identify all the Catholic churches in Hong Kong, which were established between 1945 and 1955. It was revealed that "chapels refugee settlements" emerged early 1950s due influx of refugees from China whereas "stand-alone churches" "mission stations," occupied majority until 20th century, decreased. Another type church "church school complex," building had permanent parish space inside. Such devised cater for rapid increase young population.
Aims: To estimate the impact of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents on visual impairment and blindness avoided in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) associated patient caregiver productivity loss Japan.Methods: This study compared current care (estimated at 53.8% utilization anti-VEGF using data) that hypothetical (characterized by a higher [80.0%], as estimated an expert panel) DME patients. A population-based Markov model (two-eye approach) simulated acuity (Early...
We used three-dimensional anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (3D AS-OCT) to evaluate time-dependent posttrabeculectomy changes in bleb wall volume and intensity. This prospective observational study included patients with open-angle glaucoma who underwent fornix-based trabeculectomy between January 2012 October 2012. Twenty-nine eyes met inclusion criteria, the walls of 22 were amenable analysis by 3D AS-OCT for 1 year after surgery. The high-intensity ratio was calculated as...
Abstract BACKGROUND Few of studies investigated the effect antihypertensives among working population. We aimed to describe impact hypertension with and without on hospitalizations because cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in Japanese METHODS This retrospective study included adults aged 40–64 years whose systolic diastolic blood pressure (BP) readings taken between 2008 2015 were available claims database. Individuals categorized as treated (T) or untreated (UT) depending their treatment...
This study explored the use of virtual reality (VR) in disaster preparedness education, focusing on VR scenarios, types, and user interactivity to identify gaps existing research. A scoping review methodology, based Arksey O'Malley framework Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses-Scoping (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, was used, protocols were registered UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000052800). The included PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register Controlled Library,...
