The authors examined the effect of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation on squat-exercise-induced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) using 12 young, healthy, untrained female participants. experiment was conducted with a crossover double-blind design. In morning exercise-session day, participants ingested either BCAA (isoleucine:leucine:valine = 1:2.3:1.2) or dextrin at 100 mg/kg body weight before squat exercise, which consisted 7 sets 20 squats/set 3-min intervals between...
Depressive symptoms are a major comorbidity in older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the type of activity-induced pain associated depression has not been examined. Furthermore, there is conflicting evidence regarding association between and performance-based physical function. This study aimed to examine (i) depressive intensity, particularly task-specific during daily living, (ii) function, while considering other potential risk factors, including bilateral ambulatory...
BACKGROUND: Benefits of breast-feeding are not only limited to nutrition and sanitation in developing countries but also extend cost-saving health care alleviation anxiety related childrearing developed countries. This study aims elucidate factors associated with exclusive Japan use this information achieve child-rearing support worldwide by promoting breast-feeding.METHODS: cross-sectional used data from a survey conducted Ministry Health, Labour Welfare the Japanese government, First...
Epidemiological surveys have demonstrated that habitual coffee consumption reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. The aim this work was to study antidiabetic effect and caffeine in spontaneously diabetic KK-A(y) mice. mice were given regular drinking water (controls) or 2-fold diluted for 5 weeks. Coffee ingestion ameliorated development hyperglycemia improved insulin sensitivity. White adipose tissue mRNA levels inflammatory cytokines (MCP-1, IL-6, TNFalpha), MCP-1 concentration, serum IL-6...
Abstract Aim To evaluate the potential improvement of fall prevention awareness and home modification behaviors to decrease indoor falls by applying a hazard program ( HHMP ) in community‐dwelling older adults followed up 1 year this randomized controlled trial. Methods The present authors randomly assigned 130 living T okyo metropolitan region either intervention group n = 67) or control 63). Both groups received four, 2 h multifactorial programs including education regarding risk factors,...
Background: In order to clarify the alcohol consumption status of pregnant women in Japan and characteristics who abstained from after their pregnancy had been confirmed, a nationwide questionnaire-based study behavior was performed. We also examined factors associated with during abstention confirmation pregnancy.Methods: After random sampling, 260 institutions participated survey; these were selected list survey points fixed by Association Obstetricians Gynecologists. The conducted on...
Chronic diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and diabetes mellitus, require long-term management, which daily telenurse monitoring can provide. The aim of the present feasibility study was to determine if using a telenursing protocol with home during 12 week implementation could also identify early signs deterioration factors correlated participants' change in status, while attaining patient acceptance satisfaction. purposive sample 43...
PURPOSE. To clarify actual nursing diagnoses for and interventions given to patients with end‐stage breast cancer admitted different care purposes. METHODS. Nursing diagnoses, defining characteristics, related/risk factors, were analyzed in a convenience sample of 150 patient records. FINDINGS. A total 539 (96 labels) documented. Frequently listed chronic pain , risk infection activity intolerance . The most frequently used diagnosis the chemotherapy group was nurses this study rarely report...
To create and test a multistation telemedicine support system, three remote locations were connected: the homes of two patients with chronic respiratory failure, hospital attending physician, pulmonary specialist. Real-time connections set up between locations. Medical history biologic variables noninvasively recorded, including blood pressure, arterial oxygen saturation, three-lead electrocardiogram, end-tidal carbon dioxide. Both physicians shared in these data real-time. If necessary,...
目的:COPD HOT実施者を対象として,在宅モニタリングに基づくテレナーシング(TN)を3ヵ月間提供し,急性増悪(primary outcome),および再入院(secondary outcome)をエンドポイントとして,ランダム化比較試験により効果を検討した.方法:対象は,COPD HOT実施者37名を介入群20名(平均年齢76.0歳),対照群17名(77.7歳)に無作為に割り付けた.方法は,介入群には毎日TNを提供し,対照群は従来の診療のみとした.結果:対象特性として,介入群の介入直前の在院日数は対照群よりも有意に長かった.介入群はTNにより急性増悪発症者が32.9%減少した.また,発症までの日数は有意に長く,介入前・中一人当たり急性増悪発症回数は介入群のみ有意に減少した.再入院割合は3.5%減少したが有意差はなく,介入前・中一人当たりの再入院回数は介入群のみ有意に減少した.生存分析(Kaplan–Meier法)では,急性増悪について両群間に有意差が認められた.結論:在宅モニタリングに基づくTNはCOPD HOT実施者の急性増悪発症予防,および発症回数を低下させる可能性があると示唆された.
This 1-year prospective cohort study aimed to compare the changes in clinical symptoms and functional disability between patients with coexisting patellofemoral (PF) tibiofemoral (TF) osteoarthritis (OA) those isolated TFOA. Seventy-two medial knee OA were enrolled. Knee pain assessed at baseline follow-up using Japanese Osteoarthritis Measure (JKOM) a visual analog scale (VAS). We performed two-way analysis of covariance for outcome variables examine, time (baseline follow-up), group...
Acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL) with t(1;22)(p13;q13) is a distinct category of myeloid by WHO classification and mainly reported in infants young children. Accurate diagnosis this type AMKL can be difficult, because subset patients have bone marrow (BM) blast percentage less than 20% due to BM fibrosis. Therefore, it possible that past studies underestimated AMKL. We present here the case 4-month-old female patient who was diagnosed presence RBM15-MKL1 (OTT-MAL) fusion transcript...
A 66-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further examination of a scrotal mass. Because the risk testicular cancer, we first clamped vessels as course higher orchiectomy. Then, approached tumor through scrotum and successfully resected it while preserving testis. histopathological diagnosis revealed an epidermal cyst. We herein report rare case intrascrotal cyst treated
Background: The present study sought to investigate the relationship between asymptomatic leukocyturia (ASL) and autonomic nervous function by power spectral analysis of R‐R intervals in women. Methods: One hundred forty‐two female outpatients aged 23–91 years were studied. We regarded ASL be if two consecutive samples found have 10 or more leukocytes/high‐power field at ×400 magnification a centrifuged midstream urine sample. all subjects measured wavelet transform system. This system...
Objective Telenursing e-learning courses have been shown to enhance nurses’ skills and knowledge; however, the subjective learning experience is unclear. In this study, we identified meta-inferences quantitatively qualitatively understand experience, as well types of knowledge gained through an course how they are linked each other, in order confidence their understanding telenursing. Methods We employed a single-arm intervention with mixed-methods convergent parallel design. converged...
