Abstract Purpose To report aging-associated change rates in circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (cpRNFLT) and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform complex (MGCIPLT, MGCCT) normal Japanese eyes to compare the data linear scaled visual field (VF) sensitivity of central 4 points Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) 24-2 test (VF 4TestPoints ) that MGCIPLT four 0.6-mm-diameter circles corresponding HFA adjusted for cell displacement (GCIPLT ). Study design Prospective observational...
Abstract The visual assessment of joint space narrowing (JSN) on radiographs rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients such as the Genant-modified Sharp score (GSS) is widely accepted but limited by its subjectivity and insufficient sensitivity. We developed a software application which can assess JSN quantitatively using temporal subtraction technique for radiographs, in chronological change between two was defined difference index (JSDI). aim this study to prove superiority terms detecting fine...
An 81-year-old man with previously diagnosed cancer of the pancreatic body presented melena and anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed gastric varices bleeding in entire stomach. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography identified a splenic vein occlusion resulting from invasion by dilated collateral pathways hilum to fundus. The patient was associated left-sided portal hypertension caused obstruction underwent percutaneous transsplenic embolization n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate mixed...
A 30-year-old woman with a 10-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus was admitted to our hospital because the onset hypertension and renal dysfunction. Renal arteriogram revealed multiple infarctions, cut-off or tapering-stenosis in interlobular arteries. biopsy showed concentric intimal thickening narrowed lumen some arterioles deposition IgG/IgM/complement 3 wall arteriole without any active lesions immune complex glomeruli. The present case indicates that this type vascular lesion...
This study aimed to report an aortic pseudoaneurysm, a rare but lethal complication, after spinal fracture in ankylosing spine.An 83-year-old obese woman presented with dementia and was nonambulatory fall. She transported the hospital, imaging showed hyperextension-type L1 diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). After posterior fusion surgery using percutaneous pedicle screws, screw loosening detected 10 days postoperatively. Fracture dislocation reduced by changing transdiscal...

<title>Abstract</title> Introduction: Multi-parametric assessment, including heart sounds in addition to conventional parameters, may enhance the efficacy of noninvasive telemonitoring for failure (HF). We sought assess feasibility self-telemonitoring with multiple devices a handheld sound recorder and its association clinical events patients HF. Methods Ambulatory HF recorded their own sounds, mono-lead electrocardiograms, oxygen saturation, body weight, vital signs using every morning six...
