Prolonged symptoms have been reported following both COVID-19 infection and vaccination, with some cases leading to myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Of 80 patients presenting our hospital postvaccination syndrome, 28 met the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS. We conducted a retrospective study on these patients. measured serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in who developed ME/CFS after vaccination between August 2022 February 2024. Vitamin replacement therapy included...
To identify the potential biometric risk factors for onset of myopia in emmetropic school-age children. Longitudinal study. First, we performed a preliminary study which objective refraction, corneal refractive power, higher-order aberrations (HOAs), and axial length (AL) was measured annually 98 Grade-3 (age 8) elementary schoolchildren over 4-year period from 2006 to 2009. We also examined changes 3 years, assessed correlation between those baseline data. Based on findings, primary...
This multicenter prospective observational study examined the impact of additionally using a home electrocardiograph (ECG) to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after ablation.Between May 2019 and December 2020, 128 patients undergoing ablation were enrolled in study. After performing ablation, they instructed measure their ECGs at Complete (ECG paired with blood pressure monitor; Omron Healthcare, Japan) every day visit hospital 3 months until 12 for 24-hour Holter ECG 12-lead as...
Diabetes mellitus (hereafter called diabetes) is considered to accelerate arteriosclerosis leading coronary heart disease and stroke. Thus, it important quantitatively estimate the extent of subclinical arteriosclerosis. A new method cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) developed reflect arterial stiffness independently from blood pressure at time measurement. Then, we examined if CAVI scores could discriminate between persons with prediabetes (or borderline diabetes among Japanese urban...
We formed an international research collaboration that included Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Thailand, Taiwan, the UK, and US (682 patients from 13 hospitals between 2005 2020), to better evaluate role of race, ethnicity, other risk factors in pathophysiology Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Ophthalmologists often see SJS/TEN with severe ocular complications (SOC; frequency 50% patients) when are referred them chronic stage after acute has passed. Global data...
Background Strokes are common in people with atrial fibrillation (AF), and can have devastating consequences, especially the elderly if AF is untreated. However, community-based studies on screening for untreated not been conducted Japan, there has no evaluation of effectiveness early (≥65 years). Methods The Kyoto Prefectural University Medicine (KPUM) Education Initiative an awareness campaign consisted tests using a blood pressure (BP) monitor electrocardiogram (ECG) (the Complete, Omron...
The impact of sleep apnea (SA) on heart rate variability (HRV) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients has not been investigated.
To investigate the incidence and prognostic factors of ocular sequelae in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) cases arising between 2016 2018 Japan, compare findings with those presented previous 2005-2007 survey.
The present study aimed to develop an ethical behaviour rubric for nurses and evaluate its reliability validity.This was designed construct a the validity. distributed 241 154 were completed returned. intra-rater inter-rater evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) all 10 items on rubric, internal consistency using Cronbach's α. Construct validity tested with explanatory factor analysis, criterion known-groups method.Intra-rater had high interrater agreement (ICC = 0.9), 0.84)....
The corpus luteum was investigated in 18 women undergoing hysterectomy. Preoperative ultrasonography with measurements performed before the extirpated, weighed, inspected and diameters were measured. concentrations of progesterone estradiol also determined peripheral serum. ultrasound pictures show that has a slightly cloudy central part, which can vary from hypoechoic to hyperechoic. part (corpus 'wall') stronger echo maximal minimal thicknesses be results showed correlations between...
Background:Obesity is reportedly associated with the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but patterns age-specific associations between body mass index (BMI) and risk AF are unknown.
The associations between body mass index (BMI) and incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in young men are scarce, especially Asian countries, given the differences BMI Asians Western populations.
Introduction: In patients with acute ischemic stroke, FLAIR vascular hyperintensity (FVH) is a reliable indicator of large vessel occlusion and salvageable tissue requiring mechanical thrombectomy (MT). However, its significance in distal arterial has not been established. This study aimed to investigate the FVH DWI-negative areas, combination site reperfusion status, by MT for regional outcomes proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Methods: The clinical records admitted single...
Background: Hypertension is a well-known risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) and strokes, but studies assessing screening-detected AF in hypertensive populations its relationship to the blood pressure (BP) are scarce. Method: We prospectively recruited patients (aged≥60) from all over Japan decentralized clinical trial. Participants were asked measure their electrocardiogram (ECG) BP at home three months with monitor equipped ECG. Results: Between April 2022 July 2023, 4,078 across...
Objective Uric acid (UA) and obesity are significant risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). Based on the pathogenesis mechanisms of AF involving UA, it is possible that UA weight gain may interact with each other. We investigated impact using a simple measure change over time, ‘weight ≥10 kg after age 20’. Design A retrospective cohort study. Setting participants retrospectively analysed 16 444 Japanese aged 30 without from employees undergoing annual health check-up 2 April...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is one focus of healthcare system reform in Japan. We examined the effects changes individual risk factors over time on incidence major adverse cardio-cerebrovascular events (MACCE) adults under age 50 years. Study participants with neither hypertension nor hyperglycemia at baseline were analyzed. used a parametric proportional hazard model to determine effect abdominal circumference, blood pressure, serum lipids, and glucose MACCE.A total 6,125 women 6,403 men...
