Mobile apps have been considered to provide active and continuous support for smoking cessation. However, it is yet be known whether a cessation smartphone app improves long-term abstinence rates in nicotine-dependent patients.This study aimed evaluate the effect of novel app, CureApp Smoking Cessation (CASC), patients with nicotine dependence.In this prospective, interventional, multicenter, single-arm study, we provided CASC all participants, who used daily 24 weeks. The includes features...
The early diagnosis and treatment of Takayasu arteritis (TA) is crucial to prevent the devastating complications vascular insufficiency. This report describes a patient with persistent fever in whom carotid artery tenderness led TA. case suggests that useful physical finding warrants 2-deoxy-2-[Fluorine-18] fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography confirm
• The occurrence of fasciitis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare. BNT162b2 vaccine can cause distant to the injection site. use steroids not essential for treatment vaccine-associated fasciitis.
<h3>Background</h3> There is accumulating evidence that <sup>18</sup>F-fluolodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and PET/ computed (PET/CT) useful for monitoring patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA). <h3>Objectives</h3> To investigate a quantitative indicator in FDG-PET or PET/CT scans the disease activity of TA. <h3>Methods</h3> We retrospectively investigated 16 TA who had (total 76 scans) from 2004 to 2012 (all female, 39.1 ± 19.7 years). FDG accumulations aortic wall...
背景:家族性地中海熱(FMF)は不明熱の原因としては稀であるが,近年本邦でも疾患認知が高まり,診断数が増加してきている.著者らは「短期間で終息する発熱エピソードが反復する」という発熱パターンに注目することによって,一般内科外来で多くのFMFを診断してきた.当科FMF30例の臨床データを解析することにより,診断のための注意点について論ずることを本調査研究の目的とした.対象:2012年9月02015年8月までの3年間に当科でFMFとして診療された全患者を対象とした.Tel-Hashomer基準を満たさないものは除外した.結果:対象となったのは38例で,このうちTel-Hashomer基準を満たしていたのは30例だった.14例でMEFV遺伝子変異が見いだされ,変異の有る例が少ない傾向にあった.平均発症年齢は27.8歳と高かったが,典型発作を有する例は17例(56.7%),コルヒチン抵抗性例は3例(10.7%)と既報とほぼ同等だった.結論:FMFは外来に多く潜在し得る.発熱するが数日で自然軽快し,それを周期性に反復する病像に注目すべきである.
The clinical picture in infectious mononucleosis (IM) consists primarily of pharyngitis, fever, and lymphadenopathy. IM is a common syndrome. However, little attention has been paid to feature that can occur previously splenectomized subject. Indeed, the features patients with have not yet fully described. Especially, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), our knowledge, there no report English language literature. We describe here an atypical case; asplenic but healthy male presented acute primary EBV...

Background: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and coronary artery calcification become worse with increasing age.However, it is unclear whether there a gender difference in patients chest pain but no obstructive disease (CAD).Aim: This study's aim was to investigate age differences existed the association between LVDD calcium score (CACS) CAD.Methods: We retrospectively studied total of 705 (age 65±13 years; men 342, 49%) who had pain, normal LV ejection fraction on...
