Abstract We evaluated the effectiveness of a mobile health (mHealth) intervention for diabetic kidney disease patients by conducting 12-month randomized controlled trial among 126 type 2 diabetes mellitus with moderately increased albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR): 30-299 mg/g creatinine) recruited from eight clinical sites in Japan. Using Theory Planned Behavior (TPB) behavior change theory framework, provides detailed information order to improve patient control over...

Highly parallel architectures allow four pipelined processing units to be integrated into one chip are studied extensively. authors consider data path configurations, program sequencing control,...
Insomnia is associated with the onset and development of diabetes. Melatonin affects sleep quality glucose metabolism in diabetic patients insomnia. We administered ramelteon, an agonist melatonin, to type 2 investigated its effects on insomnia.This multicenter, prospective, randomized, observational pilot study was performed between April 2014 2015 at three institutes Japan. Patients were prescribed ramelteon 8 mg/day for 3 months (first period). And divided random into continuation group...
Hypertension is the prime risk factor for stroke, and primary aldosteronism (PA) most common cause of secondary hypertension. The prevalence PA in stroke patients has never been reported. aim this study was to elucidate PA. A total 427 consecutive with acute were prospectively enrolled study. screening tests performed at initial visit a week after admission by measuring plasma aldosterone concentration renin activity. rapid adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) test as confirmatory when both...
This paper presents a motion estimation and compensation large scale integration (LSI) for the MPEG2 standard. An embedded RISC processor special hardware modules enable LSI to achieve sufficient ability perform real-time operation provide availability realize many kinds of block matching algorithms. Using three-step hierarchical telescopic search algorithm, single chip accomplishes with ranges /spl plusmn/32.5/spl times//spl plusmn/32.5 pixels vectors. The was fabricated using 0.5-/spl mu/m...
Abstract Background and Aim Changes in treatment protocols for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) may influence the functions of digestive tract. This study examined possible clinical factors associated symptoms constipation DM. Methods was a multicenter study. Participants were consecutive Japanese undergoing type 1 or 2 Constipation evaluated using gastrointestinal symptom rating scale. Diabetic neuropathy by presence absence peripheral lower limbs. Results Of 419 participants, 258 men...
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the main complications type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). DKD a known risk factor for end-stage renal disease, cardiovascular and all-cause death. Effective intervention early-stage vital to slowing down progression improve prognoses. Mobile health (mHealth) reportedly effective in supporting patients’ self-care improving glycemic control, but impact mHealth on has yet be shown. Objective The purpose this study evaluate efficacy standard...
Our two-chip, real time, MPEG-2, simple-profile-at-main-level encoder supports NTSC 4:2:0 video signals with only three external memories. We have developed a compact chip set. The key features of this set are low encoding delay based on simple profile at main level; wide-range motion estimation, which it performs using hierarchical search; flexible, macroblock level pipeline architecture RISC CPUs; and small peripherals no glue logic: VRAM, synchronous DRAM, FIFO DRAM.
Background: Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) decrease homocysteine and cross-linking of pentosidine reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), they are expected to improve bone quality atherosclerosis. Therefore, the potential effects bazedoxifene on (bone resorption, formation, quality), as well glucose lipid metabolism markers, were examined in Japanese postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Eligible patients received 20 mg tablets once...
A 300-MOPS image digital signal processor (IDSP) including four pipelined date processing units and three parallel input-output (I/O) ports has been developed using a 0.8- mu m BiCMOS technology. The IDSP integrates 910000 transistors in 15.2-mm*15.2-mm area macrocell-oriented building-block design environment. power dissipation was reduced to 1.0 W per 25-MHz instruction cycle, TTL-compatible I/O interface retained by implementing two supplies-one providing 3 V the other 5 V. With this...
Thanks to increased market acceptance of applications such as digital versatile disks (DVDs), HDTV, and satellite broadcasting, the MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group-2) standard is becoming widely used. The video standard, established in 1934, provides for a high-quality compression format that, through high bit rates frame rates, yields high-resolution images. Emerging multimedia applications, disk high-definition television, demand higher quality than ever before. In response, our...

The author finds a kind of the spontaneous nystagmus after galvanic nystagmus, which occurs by stimulation ear usually, owing to few observation about this examined it preciously, and obtained that: 1. In its characters, is similar that appears removal labyrinth; 2. phaenomene caused irritation peripheral organ, but not from central course vestibular nerve.
It is a fact that the nystagmus ofter removal of one labyrinth or by compensation rabbits changes its horizontal direction gradually to vertical. The cause this phenomen, however not yet clear. After many examinations, authors have determined abovementioned phenomen due peripheral fatigue, but central irritations.
