Little is known about the relationship between real and perceived water competence among youth in context of drowning prevention or their perceptions risk drowning. This study reports findings an international project entitled Can You Swim? The participants (n = 373) were assessed a two-part using initial questionnaire survey to provide self-estimates competency perception, followed by six practical tests water. Correlation coefficients swimming (rs 0.369) floating 0.583) significant, but...
The purpose of this study was to examine the physiological responses and RPE during water walking using Flowmill, which has a treadmill at base flume, in order obtain basic data for prescribing people middle advanced age. Twenty healthy female volunteers with an age 59.1 ± 5.2 years took part study. They belonged same swimming club regularly swam exercised water. Walking place Flowmill. Subjects completed four consecutive bouts 4 min duration progressively increasing speeds (20, 30, 40 50...
Identified genetic mutation in the patient with unexplained decreased fibrinogen activity. We conducted a detailed examination of patient's activity level, antigen and genomic sequence. The level was 80 mg / dL 131 dL. Upon sequencing gene, novel heterozygous c.Bβ227G > T detected Bβ-chain, which results cysteine residue at position 76 exon 3 being converted to phenylalanine residue. This reduces levels, but pathophysiology this remains unclear. J. Med. Invest. 72 : 182-184, February, 2025.
Metformin is widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and increasing numbers studies have shown that metformin also ameliorates tumor progression, inflammatory disease, fibrosis. However, ability to improve non-diabetic glomerular disease chronic kidney (CKD) has not been explored. To investigate effect on we a mouse model Alport syndrome (Col4a5 G5X) which were treated with or losartan, as control treatment. We investigated adriamycin-induced glomerulosclerosis model. Pathological...
Alport syndrome (AS) is a hereditary, progressive nephritis caused by mutation of type IV collagen. Previous studies have shown that activation signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT3) exacerbates other renal diseases, but whether STAT3 AS pathology still unknown. Here we aim to investigate the involvement in progression AS.Phosphorylated expression was assessed immunoblotting analysis kidneys glomeruli an mouse model (Col4a5 G5X mutant). To determine effect blocking...

This study was undertaken to establish an approach for the investigation of age-related changes in indices body composition during childhood Japan. It provides current reference values total fat mass (TBFM) and lean (LBM) as urban population 3- 6-year-old Japanese children. Moreover, we assessed age-specific patterns distribution [subcutaneous (SFM) internal (IFM)] childhood. Measurements by bioelectrical impedance were made 141 boys 139 girls, all apparently healthy, aged 3-6 years....
Different modes of exogenous electrical stimulation at physiological strength has been applied to various diseases. Previously, we extensively demonstrated the usability mild (MES) with low frequency pulse current 55 pulses per second (MES55) for several disease conditions. Here found that MES high pulse-current (5500 second; MES5500) suppressed overproduction pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by phorbol myristate acetate/ionomycin in Jurkat T cells and primary splenocytes. MES5500 also...
A study was conducted to assess gender differences of body fat distribution (i. e., total mass, subcutaneous and internal mass) in a homogeneous group Japanese children. Body composition estimated 141 boys 139 girls (aged 3-6 yr) using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) . All subjects were apparently healthy. Determinations made four-terminal analyzer (TP-95 K, Toyo Physical, Inc., Fukuoka) The lean mass (LBM) calculated the equation Kushuner et al. (1992) Goran (1993) Total (TFM) as...
This study was conducted to assess whether respiratory frequency can be used as a valid parameter for estimating ventilatory threshold and examining differences in exercise modes such cycle ergometer treadmill. 24 men 12 women performed an incremental test exhaustion on Oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide output, pulmonary ventilation, frequency, heart rate were measured continuously every 30 sec. during the test. Three different independent reviewers detected point break of rate, which then...
A seminal study recently demonstrated that bromide (Br-) has a critical function in the assembly of type IV collagen basement membrane (BM), and suggested Br- supplementation therapeutic potential for BM diseases. Because salts (KBr NaBr) have been used as antiepileptic drugs several decades, repositioning diseases is probable. However, effects on glomerular (GBM) disease such Alport syndrome (AS) its impact kidney are still unknown. In this study, we administered daily 16 weeks 75 mg/kg or...
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a renal disorder that characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and edema. One of the main causes NS focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), which has extremely poor prognosis. Although steroids immunosuppressants are first line treatment, some FSGS cases refractory, prompting need to find new therapeutic strategies. We have previously demonstrated an optimized combination treatment mild electrical stimulation (MES) heat shock (HS) several biological...
<title>Abstract</title> Background The methods used for evaluating body movements—driven by the functions of brain and nervous system—do not facilitate evaluation internal events such as brain/nervous system activity related to output process, thus necessitating development an method human physical function that focuses on system. Aim To investigate differences in during different walking tasks. Methods participants were 10 healthy adults (10 women, aged 19–35 years). exercise tasks (i) a...
Purpose: No consensus exists for the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). Current studies recommend stress echocardiography protocols, but single standard peak or timing measurements are limited towards complexity disease. We show contribution a combined analysis multiple myocardial velocity patterns and investigate their relative relevance characterization HFPEF. Methods: Velocity traces from 55 subjects were examined (69±6 years, 22 healthy, 19 HFPEF 14...
Visual Analog Scales (VAS) are often used for quantifying sensory information in clinical and applied settings but more is needed regarding their use measuring differential perceived exertion. PURPOSE To evaluate VAS exertion during pedaling (P) running (R). METHODS After determination of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) P R, twelve healthy males (27.2 ± 7.3 yrs, 171.9 6.0 cm, 68.4 8.7 kg) were subjected to three levels exercise intensity (EI) (48.5, 63.0 76.7%VO2max) R (50.6, 60.5...
