The health of the vulnerable populations receiving Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance Programs was threatened by direct and indirect effects disasters. 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake Tsunami explosion at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) forced 164,865 people's evacuation caused many disaster-related deaths. We examined relationship between these deaths LTC certification. Data were collected from 520 people who living in Minamisoma City during earthquake whose certified as...
Introduction The health of patients with mental disorders, such as alcohol-related diseases, often deteriorates after disasters. However, the causes death among those diseases during and radiation disasters remain unclear. Methods To minimize prevent deaths in future disasters, we analyzed summarized six cases Minamisoma City, a municipality near Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Results Patients were generally treated for diseases. In one case, patient was forced to evacuate because...
Abstract The medical situation during disasters often differs from that at usual times. Disasters can lead to significant mortality be difficult monitor. types of disaster-related deaths are largely unknown. In this study, we conducted a survey categorize the caused by radiation disaster. A total 520 people living in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, time Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, who were certified have died due causes surveyed. We divided participants into those home...
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...
Radiation disasters pose distinctive medical challenges, requiring diverse care approaches. Beyond radiation exposure assessment, addressing health impacts due to lifestyle changes, especially among vulnerable populations, is vital. Evacuation orders issued in radiation-affected areas introduce unique healthcare dynamics, with their duration significantly influencing the recovery process. Understanding evolving patient demographics and needs after lifting evacuation crucial for post-disaster...
Following the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in 2011, mandatory evacuation orders were issued to residents living near prefecture, including some patients receiving home oxygen therapy. Although vulnerability of with therapy (one population groups most vulnerable disasters) has been noted, there is little information on health effects event a radiation disaster. A 90-year-old man diagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease since age...
Objectives To investigate the details of disaster-related deaths due to indirect health effects Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident following Great East-Japan Earthquake in 2011 and serve as a source reference event similar circumstances future. Design A retrospective observational study. Setting Minamisoma City, Prefecture, Japan, which is located 13–38 km north FDNPP. Participants 520 residents who were certified having died from causes between September February 2021....
Introduction Relocation after a disaster often has negative health effects on vulnerable people, particularly older adults. However, little is known about the number of repeated evacuations and relocations disasters among those experienced disaster-related deaths. This case series aimed to summarize secondary problems mortality risks in patients involved relocation disasters. Methods We analyzed summarized data 520 deaths Minamisoma City, municipality near Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power...
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) accident in 2011 primarily caused indirect adverse effects. Even the effects of radiation/nuclear disasters sometimes lead to death. Japan compensates for disaster-related deaths under legally enshrined disaster condolence grant system. Studies on areas heavily affected by have been limited. We investigated 520 fatalities Minamisoma City, Prefecture, located near FDNPP, that were certified as City Committee Certification Disaster-Related...
