Abstract Background We aimed to evaluate the length of hospital stay following total knee arthroplasty determine impact relevant factors using data from Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. Methods This was a retrospective observational study. The study cohort included 5,831 patients who had osteoarthritis and undergone replacement between February 2018 October 2022 at 38 hospitals. Results Multivariate analysis showed that influencing included: age ( p < 0.001), height weight =...
This study aimed to explore the emotions of operating room nurses in Japan towards perioperative nursing using generative AI and human analysis, identify factors contributing burnout turnover. A single-center cross-sectional was conducted from February 2023 2024, involving semi-structured interviews with 10 a national hospital Japan. Interview transcripts were analyzed (ChatGPT-4o) researchers for thematic, emotional, subjectivity analysis. comparison between analysis performed, data...
Background Lower primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) volume is known to be associated with worse outcomes in patients acute myocardial infarction (MI) at hospital level. The present study aimed evaluate the relations of primary, elective, and total PCI primary/total ratio per in-hospital mortality MI undergoing PCI. Methods Results Using a large nationwide administrative database, we included 83 076 from 154 hospitals Japan for either or elective cases. Relations annual...
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the influence of certified perioperative nurses on preoperative outpatient clinic and assessments. The was conducted from February 2021 September 2022; data were collected analyzed using a questionnaire at 247 hospitals in Japan. To analyze factors affecting rate assessment with primary endpoint care nursing visits, we performed multiple linear regression analysis facility characteristics, nurse background, presence or absence nurses. Regarding...
Interstitial myocardial fibrosis is one of the factors responsible for dysfunction heart. However, how interstitial affects cardiac function and excitation-contraction coupling (E-C coupling) has not yet been clarified. We developed an animal model right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy with by pulmonary artery (PA) banding in rats. Two, four, six weeks after PA-banding operation, tension intracellular Ca2+ concentration RV papillary muscles were simultaneously measured (n = 33). The rats...
Background and Purpose— The Japanese stroke guideline recommends the use of care units (SCUs) for acute treatment, but few SCUs have been established evidence supporting their is limited. aim this study was to evaluate efficacy compared with general medical wards (GMWs). Methods— A multicenter observational conducted using a large administrative database involving 52 hospitals; patients either intracerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction were included. In-hospital mortality primary end...
Background: Few non-invasive biomarkers have been used to detect myocardial injury in patients with heart diseases. Recently, the N-terminal fragment (N-titin) of titin, a giant sarcomeric protein, which is involved muscular passive tension and viscoelasticity, has reported muscle damage cardiomyopathy as well skeletal dystrophy healthy volunteers endurance exercise. In present study, we evaluated whether urinary N-titin changed during perioperative period its increase reflects damage....
In skeletal muscle, active force production varies as a function of sarcomere length (SL). It has been considered that this SL dependence results simply from change in the overlap between thick and thin filaments. The purpose study was to provide systematic understanding SL-dependent increase Ca(2+) sensitivity by investigating how filament "on-off" switching passive are involved regulation. Rabbit psoas muscles were skinned, measurements taken at various concentrations with single fibers,...
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major scenario for the use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), particularly when complicated by cardiogenic shock, although utilization mechanical circulatory support devices varies widely per hospital. We evaluated relationship, at hospital level, between volume IABP and mortality in AMI.

Regional variations in health-care delivery, processes and spending have been reported across the world. Differences revascularization procedures observed USA Canada, but little is known about regional variation Japan.Methods Results:Diagnostic procedure combination summary tables for 2013 issued by Japanese government were used. The rates of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) per 100,000 population aged ≥40 years each prefecture summarized angina myocardial infarction (MI). Linear...
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Japan is 9% among males and 3% females. Up to 2.5 million patients are estimated suffer from the disease, but limited number facilities capable carrying out polysomnography (PSG), leaving more than 80% these individuals undiagnosed. In recent years, development new portable monitoring (PMs) devices has been remarkable. We evaluate correlation between results LS-140 PMs device (Fukuda Denshi Tech Co. Ltd.), released 2017, those PSG.We...
It is well-known that microheterogeneity of human serum transferrin observed in alcoholics manifests as sialic acid-deficient isoforms, otherwise known carbohydrate-deficient (CDT). A recent study demonstrated CDT lacked one or both the entire carbohydrate chains but investigation required several troublesome procedures. The aim present was to confirm sugar chain structures transferrin, and particular, from patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) using conventional lectin affinity...
Abstract Background Despite the early use of phototherapy and exchange transfusion in premature infants based on total serum bilirubin ( TSB ), reemergence kernicterus has been reported. The aim this study was to assess validity using as criterion for extremely low‐birthweight ELBWI ). Methods We reviewed medical charts 43 admitted hospital between J anuary 2009 D ecember 2010, analyzed relationship unbound UB Results No infant underwent or developed acute encephalopathy. There a significant...
Triple-valve procedures are associated with high early and late mortality. We reviewed our experience in 25 patients who underwent combined mitral aortic valve replacement tricuspid repair or between 1979 2004. The mean follow-up was 7.8 years (range, 10 days to 24.5 years). age at operation 52 31 72 Four triple-valve 21 had double-valve annuloplasty. Perioperative mortality 20% 24%. Cumulative survival, calculated taking perioperative into account, 71% ± 10% 36% 15% 15 after surgery. Only 1...
Although current guidelines recommend admission to the intensive/coronary care unit (ICU/CCU) for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI), routine use of CCU in uncomplicated acute MI remains controversial. We aimed evaluate safety management general ward (GW) hemodynamically stable after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Abstract Background/objective Few reports have directly compared the outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who are managed in a care unit (SCU) those an intensive units (ICU). This large database study Japan aimed to compare in-hospital mortality between AIS admitted into SCU and ICU. Methods Patients were April 1, 2014, March 31, 2019, selected from administrative divided ICU groups. We calculated propensity score match groups for which admission assignment was independent...
