(1) Introduction: Most educational institutions around the world have shifted from traditional face-to-face to online education amid COVID-19. This change may particularly impact medical students, whose is heavily influenced by clinical learning experiences. Accordingly, we investigated students’ perceptions about positive and negative aspects of in Japan overseas during COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted among 13 Japanese students five Slovakia, Norway,...
The bivalent mRNA vaccine is recommended to address coronavirus disease variants, with additional doses suggested for high-risk groups. However, the effectiveness, optimal frequency, and number of remain uncertain. In this study, we examined long-term cellular humoral immune responses following fifth administration severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. To our knowledge, first study monitor data on immunity dynamics populations after five...
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...
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...
Disaster deaths can be classified into direct and indirect deaths. Direct are those caused by the physical effects of disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, radiation exposure. Indirect secondary health emergency evacuation, relocation, evacuation environment, disruption care delivery services, psychosocial effects. In addition, in Japan, term disaster-related refers to accordance with disaster condolence payments system, which provides relief for bereaved families. On 11 March 2011,...
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...
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...
In/Si(111) surfaces have a variety of phases, among which 4×1 and √7×√3 show intriguing one-/two-dimensional (1D/2D) electronic properties. Here, we carry out extensive experiments to investigate the mechanical properties various phases on by atomic force microscopy at room temperature. Energy dissipation associated with flexibility is measured scale. In phase, locally increases inner parts couples chains, correspond mobile atoms in dynamical fluctuation model for phase transition. An...
An outbreak of coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a pandemic. 1In Japan, increasing number patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 threatens pre-existing medical resources, and incidents group nosocomial infections institutions healthcare professionals (HCPs) are also increasing.Using largest domestic newspaper database, we summarized reported occurring throughout Japan.As done elsewhere, collected articles published...
This study investigates the neutralizing activity against XBB1.5 variant and ancestral strain in a population post-bivalent vaccination using pseudo virus assay validated with authentic assay. While bivalent booster past infections enhanced neutralization XBB 1.5 strain, individuals comorbidities showed reduced responses. The suggests need for continuous vaccine updates to address emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants highlights importance of monitoring real-world immune
Empowering biocatalyst-modified electrodes with the ability to both enforce and perceive will enable development of intrinsically switchable bioelectrode systems, which exhibit autonomous heteronomous actions specific living organisms. However, electrocatalytic activity bioelectrodes reported so far has been controlled by changes in rate substrate transport biocatalysts. Here, we prepared a cup-stacked carbon nanofiber (CSCNF) electrode modified thermoresponsive
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...
Abstract Antibody titers wane after two-dose COVID-19 vaccinations, but individual variation in vaccine-elicited antibody dynamics remains to be explored. Here, we created a personalized score that enables individuals infer their status by use of simple calculation. We recently developed mathematical model B cell differentiation accurately interpolate the longitudinal data from community-based cohort Fukushima, Japan, which consists 2,159 who underwent serum sampling two or three times...
Abstract The present study aimed to clarify the characteristics of young evacuees who had missed Comprehensive Health Check Fukushima Management Survey (FHMS) after Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. FHMS has been conducted as a prospective cohort evaluate health status annually great earthquake This focused on annual participation rate aged between 20 and 37 years 2011 evacuated due Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. subjects did not participate second survey year were identified with...
Although studies have demonstrated that infections with various viruses, bacteria, and parasites can modulate the immune system, no study has investigated changes in antibodies against microbial antigens after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. IgG blood of vaccinees were comprehensively analyzed using protein microarrays carried approximately 5000 microbe-derived proteins. Changes scrutinized healthy participants enrolled Fukushima Vaccination Community Survey conducted Prefecture, Japan, their...
Anisakiasis is a parasitic disease caused by Anisakis simplex and has become an emerging zoonosis as preferences for eating raw or undercooked seafood have more common. Few case reports of asymptomatic anisakiasis been published to date. A 79-year-old man underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) gastric cancer screening. The gastroenterologist diagnosed superficial gastritis without any malignant lesions but found larva while reviewing EGD images. physician performed second removed the...
