Abstract This study aimed to verify whether an eHealth-based self-management program can reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptom severity. An open-label simple randomized controlled trial was conducted that compared intervention group (n = 21) participating in eHealth program, which involved studying IBS-related information from established self-help guide followed by in-built quizzes, with a treatment-as-usual 19) that, except for pharmacotherapy, had no treatment restrictions....
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential nutrients demonstrated to have health benefits, such as decreasing the risk of coronary heart disease, improving parameters associated with metabolic syndrome, and anxiety symptoms depression risk. Previous intervention studies indicated association between blood or tissue PUFA levels gut microbiota; however, details remain incompletely elucidated. We conducted a cross-sectional study examine PUFAs microbiota among breast cancer...
Artificial intelligence quantitative CT (AI-QCT) determines coronary plaque morphology with high efficiency and accuracy. Yet, its performance to quantify lipid-rich remains unclear. This study investigated the of AI-QCT for detection low-density noncalcified (LD-NCP) using near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS).The INVICTUS Registry is a multi-center registry enrolling patients undergoing clinically indicated angiography IVUS, NIRS-IVUS, or optical coherence...
It has been reported that coronary vasa vasorum is associated with plaque vulnerability, and low-echoic structures in grayscale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are consistent pathologically vasorum. However, the association of composition no-reflow phenomenon during percutaneous intervention (PCI) unclear. We investigated virtual histology IVUS (VH-IVUS) PCI structures.A total 106 lesions being treated by VH-IVUS before were included this study. Low-echoic structure was defined as a small...
Objectives We assessed the relation between coronary plaque composition and angiographic calcification by using virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH‐IVUS). Background The vulnerability according to is unclear. Methods Subjects were 140 consecutive patients (145 lesions) undergoing VH‐IVUS before percutaneous intervention. divided into 4 groups: no group (n = 27), spotty 65) that had calcium deposits under 90° in grayscale IVUS, intermediate 37) with or more 180°, extensive 16) 180°...
Abstract Background Health literacy (HL) has gained increasing attention as a factor related to health behaviors and outcomes. This study aimed investigate geographic differences in HL levels effect modification by area on their relationship with self-rated the Japanese population using nationwide sample. Methods Data for this were derived from nationally representative cross-sectional survey information access consumers Japan mailed self-administered questionnaire 2020 (INFORM Study 2020)....
The progression of renal dysfunction reduces serum albumin and deteriorates the binding capacity protein-bound uremic toxins. We evaluated prognostic implications indoxyl sulfate (IS) levels in patients with cardiovascular disease.We prospectively enrolled 351 consecutive undergoing percutaneous revascularization for coronary artery disease or peripheral disease. primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Patients were assigned to four groups according median IS (0.1 mg/dL) (3.9 g/dL).During...
Since gastric cancers (GCs) detected after Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication present with different morphological characteristics from conventional HP-positive GCs, delayed detection of early-stage GCs may be observed. This study aimed to investigate the clinical impact HP on diagnosing GC during screening endoscopy. Eleven health checkup institutions in Japan participated study. All cases newly diagnosed by endoscopy between January 2016 and December 2020 were included. After propensity...
