Abstract Most of the diseases for which apheresis therapy is indicated are intractable and rare, each patient has a different background treatment course prior to initiation. Therefore, it difficult conduct large‐scale randomized controlled trials secure high‐quality evidence. Under such circumstances, American Society Apheresis (ASFA) issued its guidelines in 2007, were repeatedly revised until latest edition 2019. The ASFA comprehensive. However, United States, centrifugal separation...
<ns3:p>Background With the rapid aging of population, increasing life satisfaction among older adults is essential. Negative perceptions are internalized, leading to poor mental health. This study hypothesized that participants with more negative would have lower satisfaction. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted across five wards and four cities in Tokyo, Japan. Participants responded questions regarding demographics, satisfaction, adults. Data from 285 (264 women,...

Abstract: We report two cases of hypertriglyceridemic necrotizing pancreatitis treated by plasma exchange (PE). The outcome each case was quite different according to the timing PE. A 36 year old man presented with abdominal pain, and a diagnosis severe acute made. His serum triglyceride (TG) level 6,460 mg/dl. He did not undergo PE at first, however, his condition never improved performed 20 days after onset illness. Finally, he died multiple organ failure sepsis. In contrast, 52 referred...
Abstract Plasma diafiltration (PDF) is a blood purification therapy in which simple plasma exchange (PE) performed using selective membrane separator while the dialysate flows outside hollow fibers. A prospective, multicenter study was undertaken to evaluate changes bilirubin, IL‐18, and cystatin C, as well 28‐day 90‐day survival rates, with use of PDF according level severity measured by Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. Twenty‐one patients liver failure were studied: 10 had...
The effect on liver and heart allograft survival (ACI rats to Lewis rats) was studied after three methods of recipient presensitization different intervals between sensitization transplantation. With comparable lymphocytotoxic antibody titers, allografts always survived longer than grafts. titer, class specificity the antibodies varied with method sensitization. Four skin grafts produced IgG IgM titers 1:2,000 4,000. fraction shown have hepatic vascular endothelial by indirect...
This study aimed to determine the effect of long-term exercise on risk developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and all-cause mortality in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). A single-center, prospective intervention using propensity score matching was performed over 24 months. The group (n = 67) received six months individual instruction from a physical therapist, who aerobic muscle-strengthening exercises under unsupervised conditions. New events were defined as composite endpoint...
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with changes in skeletal muscle quantity and quality, such as increased ectopic fat. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) aims to improve the exercise capacity strength. This study aimed determine relationship between qualitative muscles function patients without mellitus. Methods The included cardiovascular diseases who entered CR. Of 72 CR (68.1±9.0 years) underwent a cardiopulmonary test assessment at discharge, 15 T2DM DM were selected...
Hemodialysis patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) experience blood glucose fluctuations owing to insulin removal. We evaluated the effects of single and long-term application neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during hemodialysis on glycemic control. This trial was conducted in two stages: Stage 1, following a crossover design 4 week washout period, eleven outpatients DKD either underwent bout NMES for 30 min (NMES period) or rested (control after receiving nutritional...
Typical causes of infection in Crohn's disease (CD) patients include intra-abdominal abscess, microperforation the intestine, and fistula formation. Use immunosuppressive drugs abdominal surgery are often associated with CD sepsis. In this case, an 11-year-old boy who did not receive any concomitant treatment was admitted for evaluation owing to weight loss. On 22nd day hospitalization, he suddenly experienced a septic shock intensive care unit (ICU). Enterobacter cloacae detected blood...
