This was a retrospective cohort study, which aimed to investigate the factors associated with hesitancy receive third dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. A paper-based questionnaire survey administered all participants. study included participants who provided answers in about whether they had an intent Data on sex, age, area residence, adverse reactions after second vaccination, vaccination desired, and reasons accept or hesitate over booster were retrieved. Among 2439...
This was a retrospective cohort study, which aimed to investigate the factors associated with hesitancy receive third dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. A paper-based questionnaire survey administered all participants. Accordingly, study included participants who provided answer in whether they have an intent Data on sex, age, area residence, adverse reactions after second vaccination, vaccination desired, and reasons accept or hesitate booster were retrieved.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with the increase in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S1) protein and neutralizing antibody titer following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. This observational conducted among healthcare workers working for a private hospital group Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Two blood samples were obtained from each participant. first sample before dose BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccine, second approximately 6 weeks...
Abstract A key issue in the post-COVID-19 era is ongoing administration of COVID-19 vaccines. Repeated vaccination essential for preparing against currently circulating and newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants while enabling people to continue with daily life. Optimizing strategies crucial efficiently manage medical resources establish an effective framework. Therefore, it important quantitatively understand vaccine-induced immunity dynamics be able identify poor responders lower sustained...
The objective of this study was to clarify the impact adverse reactions on immune dynamics. We investigated pattern systemic after second and third coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccinations their relationship with immunoglobulin G against severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 spike 1 protein titers, neutralizing antibody levels, peak cellular responses, rate decrease vaccination in a large-scale community-based cohort Japan. Participants who received BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) or...
Abstract To reveal waning humoral immunity after second dose BNT162b2 vaccinations in a rural Japanese community and determine factors affecting antibody titers. We aimed to report Immunoglobulin G (IgG) against the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S1) protein levels neutralizing activity large scale based cohort. Methods: Participants observational cross-sectional study received of vaccination with (Pfizer/BioNTech) were not previously infected COVID-19. Questionnaire-collected data on sex, age, adverse...
Booster vaccination reduces the incidence of severe cases and mortality related to COVID-19, with cellular immunity playing an important role. However, little is known about proportion population that has achieved after booster vaccination. Thus, we conducted a Fukushima cohort database assessed humoral in 2526 residents healthcare workers Prefecture Japan through continuous blood collection every 3 months from September 2021. We identified people induced using T-SPOT.COVID test, analyzed...
Background: Different characteristics of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) between Western and Japanese populations have been reported. Risk factors for COPD exacerbation reported in countries but not studied Japan. Patients Methods: We retrospectively examined risk exacerbation. A total 156 were enrolled, the records 136 analyzed. Results: In group (n=60), body mass index, forced vital capacity (FVC), expiratory volume one second (FEV 1 ), FEV /FVC ratio /FVC),...
As we learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines are one of most important tools in infectious disease control. To date, an unprecedentedly large volume high-quality data on vaccinations have been accumulated. For preparedness future pandemics beyond COVID-19, these valuable datasets should be analyzed to best shape effective vaccination strategy. We collecting longitudinal from a community-based cohort Fukushima, Japan, that consists 2,407 individuals who underwent serum sampling two or...
This study investigated the immune response and outcome of BNT162b2 vaccination among 12 staff at a hospital in Fukushima, Japan. Blood samples were collected from participants before their first vaccination, with subsequent sampling performed during participants' work days for six weeks thereafter. Antibody titers peaked 6-13 after second (days 27-34 first), followed by steady decrease. Six males had significantly lower peak antibody than females (p = 0.016 t-test); older (median age 53...
Objectives SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is a crucial intervention for infection control; however, the immune response to in dialysis patients has been reported be moderate compared with healthy adults. There are few studies available on humoral immunised well-matched control group, we conducted prospective cohort study measuring antibody titres Fukushima Prefecture, Japan since September 2021. Participants We of both anti-SARS-CoV-2 S1 IgG and neutralising antibodies 65 haemodialysis (dialysis...
Intensive vaccination is recommended for populations more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection, although data regarding the built of immunity after dialysis patients are lacking. This prospective, observational cohort study maintenance hemodialysis examined IgG antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 spike (S1) protein, neutralizing activity, and interferon gamma third dose BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) or mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine. Humoral was repeatedly measured up two months. The includes 58 on...
Abstract Recent studies have provided insights into the effect of vaccine boosters on recall immunity. Given limited global supply COVID-19 vaccines, identifying vulnerable populations with lower sustained vaccine-elicited antibody titers is important for targeting individuals booster vaccinations. Here we investigated longitudinal data in a cohort 2,526 people Fukushima, Japan, from April 2021 to December 2021. Antibody following two doses were repeatedly monitored and information lifestyle...
Depopulation is one of the important interventions for outbreak animal diseases. Simulation models using actual case scenarios conclude that early depopulation most efficient in preventing spread foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). However, long delay its initiation was often seen cases and theoretical analyses FMD epidemiology with needs further elaboration. Here, we investigated qualitative features epidemic when at a fixed capacity delayed. We built simple deterministic model based on...
Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA) has been used in clinical practice for pain symptoms worldwide. However, the safety of YNSA and role diagnosis stimulation points have never investigated. This study aimed to investigate relationship between points, changes shoulder stiffness. was performed at point A, acupuncture non-shoulder D, no intervention as a control 15 healthy participants three times with washout period 1 week. Adverse reactions (changes blood pressure, heart rate, or...
Personal digital assistants (PDAs) are in widespread use by resident physicians many countries, reaching as high 95% some reports. Uses varied and include clinical decision support of evidence-based practice. Utilization doctors Japan has not been characterized. This study was conducted to determine practice patterns PDA Japanese physicians.A nationwide cohort survey distributed all 1070 residency teaching programs Japan. The included questions pertaining PDAs practice.1124 surveys were...
これまで北日本における学生による東洋医学に関する研究会は，独自に活動をしており交流を持つ機会がなかった。各研究会間の情報交換や知識の向上を目的とし，平成25年に医学生が主体となり，合同東洋医学研究会を発足した。これまでに開催した3回の合同研究会の活動内容について報告する。各地の研究会の代表と連絡を取り平成25年から年1回，東北大学，北海道大学，弘前大学が順に主幹となり，合同研究会を開催した。これまでに北海道大学，旭川医科大学，弘前大学，東北大学，岩手医科大学の研究会など，延べ111人が参加し，各大学独自の活動報告を行うとともに，特別講演では東洋医学史，腹診実習，グループワークによる症例検討会等を行ってきた。参加数は年々増加し，東洋医学でつなぐ北日本の学生ネットワークを構築することができ，その活動から幅広い視点を得ることができた。今後は全国規模の合同東洋医学研究会の開催に期待したい。
Following the evacuation of areas affected by Japan's 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, Kawauchi Village was one first municipalities repopulated. Although rehabilitation resources were limited, a healthcare facility near municipality initiated home-visit in 2016. To best our knowledge, reports repopulated villages that evacuated following nuclear accident are lacking.This article describes case study Village. The purpose this to explore how users services perceive...
