Human-to-human transmission of PA I38 mutant influenza A(H3N2) viruses with reduced baloxavir susceptibility has been reported in Japan. In December 2019, we detected a E23K A(H1N1)pdm09 virus from child without treatment. The exhibited but remained susceptible to neuraminidase inhibitors. Epidemiological data suggest possible this among humans, although its growth capability relative that the wild-type was reduced. Therefore, monitoring is essential.
基質特異性拡張型β―ラクタマーゼ(ESBL)産生菌は医療施設における急激な増加や地域での蔓延が危惧されており,感染対策上の問題となっている.本研究では,地域の医療施設におけるESBL 産生菌の分離率と保菌率,またそれらの危険因子を明らかにするために,岩手県盛岡二次医療圏内の医療施設(4 病院A~D,4 介護保険施設a~d)における横断的疫学調査を行った.2013 年4 月から2014 年3 月の期間に各病院の入院患者からのESBL 産生菌の分離状況とほぼ同時期における介護保険施設の入所者の糞便検体のESBL 産生菌の保菌状況と遺伝子型を解析した.さらに,病院における第三世代セファロスポリン系抗菌薬の使用量と擦式アルコール手指消毒薬の使用量,介護保険施設の入居者の背景を調査した.ESBL 産生菌の病院における分離率は13.3%(3.6%~25.0%),介護保険施設の保菌率は9.3%(3.4%~21.0%)であった.ESBL 産生菌の分離率の高い病院B では第三世代セファロスポリン系抗菌薬の使用量が有意に多く,分離率が低かった病院A...
How does the generosity of social insurance coverage affect demand for healthcare and health outcomes elderly people? This paper presents an examination effects on long-term care (LTC) utilization its consequences using administrative data public (LTCI) system in Japan. In LTCI, a recipient's score determines their limit, thresholds generate discontinuous changes level limits. I implement regression discontinuity design find that expansion increases recipients' LTC considerably irrespective...

Imported cases have been frequent (2-4), however. Given that all present are imported, we attempted to detect at the quarantine station of New Tokyo International Airport, Narita, Chiba Prefecture, from 2000 2002. We collected blood specimens 233 passengers who declared health problems had...
Abstract This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on political support. We exploit Japan’s age-based vaccine roll-out, prioritizing people aged 65 years and older. A regression discontinuity design based a large-scale online survey reveals that increases favorable opinions progress in municipalities infection control measures municipal governments. By contrast, there is no significant effect support for central government. also discovered with chronic diseases low socioeconomic...
This paper examines the economic consequences of manipulation social insurance benefits. Using administrative data public long-term care (LTCI) in Japan, we document novel discontinuity and bunching distribution health scores that determine benefit levels for LTCI. The observed suggests LTCI recipients tend to receive more generous benefits than they should because medical examiners manipulate recipients' score. To quantify impact on (LTC) expenditures, develop partial identification...
