Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is one of the most important butyrate-producing bacteria in human gut. Previous studies have suggested presence several phylogenetic groups, with differences at species level, species, and a taxonomic re-evaluation thus essential for further understanding ecology symbiont. Here we examine phenotypic, physiological, chemotaxonomic phylogenomic characteristics six F. strains (BCRC 81047T=ATCC 27768T, A2-165T=JCM 31915T, APC918/95b=JCM 39207, APC942/30-2=JCM 39208,...
Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a common distressing condition. We investigated the efficacy smartphone problem-solving therapy and behavioral activation applications in breast survivors.
Background A strategy for maintaining and/or improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in the growing population of cancer survivors is major clinical importance, especially COVID-19 era. The effect unsupervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on increasing CRF breast unknown. Purpose purpose this study was to determine whether newly developed habit-B programme, which involves home-based smartphone-supported HIIT using body weight exercises, improves early-stage survivors. Methods...
Aim Patients with cancer experience various forms of psychological distress, including depressive symptoms, which can impact quality life, elevate morbidity risk, and increase medical costs. Psychotherapy pharmacotherapy are effective for reducing symptoms among patients cancer, but most prefer psychotherapy. This study aimed to develop an efficient smartphone psychotherapy component address symptom. Methods was a decentralized, parallel‐group, multicenter, open, individually randomized,...
Abstract Background Residents of facilities for older people are vulnerable to COVID-19 outbreaks. Nevertheless, timely recognition outbreaks at public health centers has been impossible in Japan since May 8, 2023, when the Japanese government discontinued aggressive countermeasures against because waning severity dominant Omicron strain. The Facility Elderly Surveillance System (FESSy) developed improve information collection. Objective This study examined FESSy experiences and...
Objectives High physical activity levels have been associated with longer, healthier lifespans and improved quality of life among breast cancer survivors. The Japanese clinical guidelines for survivors, similar to those in the USA, strongly recommend maintaining high levels. However, extent adherence these survivors Japan is unclear. This study aimed assess guideline-recommended activities identify factors. Methods Self-administered questionnaires were distributed without recurrence or...
Abstract Rice culture filtrates of Bacillus cereus SA‐50, an emetic‐type strain, produced a toxin which caused cytoplasmic vacuole formation in HEp‐2 and HeLa cells. Electron microscopic observation revealed that the apparent vacuoles cells seen under light microscope were actually swollen mitochondria. The oxygen consumption was accelerated by addition rice filtrate as measured with polarographic oxymeter; respiratory control ratio 1.0 for cells, while 1.4 ones filtrates. showed similar...
ABSTRACT Staphylococcus intermedius isolates from dogs ( n = 44) and pigeons 62) were categorized into 12 types by intergenic ribosomal DNA spacer polymorphism analysis. All lukS positive all lukF dot blot The mean leukotoxicity titer for dog was at least 129-fold higher than that pigeon isolates.
Abstract Background Staphylococcus intermedius has been isolated from healthy dogs and pigeons as well diseased dogs. Similar to aureus, S. is known carry many virulence factors but most of these remain be studied. In this study, we examined 106 isolates (44 dog 62 pigeon isolates) for their hemolytic activity, biofilm formation, protease clumping factor protein A production. Results Forty-three (97.7%) all were on sheep RBCs with a mean titer 336.7 47.32, respectively, whereas 43 11 (17.7%)...
To determine the prevalence of enterotoxin-producing Staphylococcus intermedius in dogs and pigeons.A total 106 S. isolates from 44 62 pigeons were tested for production enterotoxins A, B, C D by reverse passive latex agglutination (RPLA) sec-canine PCR. Only one isolate dog was positive SEC sec-canine. Screening sec-canine-negative strains nested PCR led to identification a novel enterotoxin-related gene, se-int. SE-int showed significant homology (59-61% identity) with (56.6% SEB. All five...
Introduction One of the most common distressing conditions experienced by breast cancer survivors is fear recurrence (FCR). There is, however, no standard intervention for ameliorating FCR. Our clinical experience and previous studies have suggested potential benefits problem-solving therapy (PST) behavioural activation (BA). Given huge number limited therapists to competently conduct PST BA, we developed BA smartphone applications. This study aimed evaluate efficacy smartphone-based...
Insomnia is an increasingly recognized major symptom of breast cancer which can seriously disrupt the quality life during and many years after treatment. Sleep problems have also been linked with survival in women cancer. The aims this study were to estimate prevalence insomnia cancers survivors, clarify clinical characteristics their sleep difficulties use machine learning techniques explore insights.Our analysis data, obtained a nationwide questionnaire survey survivors Japan, revealed...
Introduction Timely implementation of the discussion process advance care planning (ACP) is recommended. The communication attitude healthcare providers critical in ACP facilitation; thus, improving their attitudes may reduce patient distress and unnecessary aggressive treatment while enhancing satisfaction. Digital mobile devices are being developed for behavioural interventions owing to low space time restrictions ease information sharing. This study aims evaluate effectiveness an...
Abstract Background Health literacy (HL) has gained increasing attention as a factor related to health behaviors and outcomes. This study aimed investigate geographic differences in HL levels effect modification by area on their relationship with self-rated the Japanese population using nationwide sample. Methods Data for this were derived from nationally representative cross-sectional survey information access consumers Japan mailed self-administered questionnaire 2020 (INFORM Study 2020)....
Introduction Maintaining high levels of physical activity helps to maintain and improve health quality life, plays a role in reducing adverse effects due cancer treatments. Moreover, greater degree cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with reduced risk all-cause mortality. However, there are no home-based programme for improving using body weight exercises breast survivors. This study will assess the efficacy newly developed habit-B on maximum oxygen uptake compared treatment as usual...
Objective: We present descriptive epidemiology of Mycoplasma infection using the (Nursery) School Absenteeism Surveillance System ((N)SASSy) in addition to national official sentinel surveillance for infectious diseases (NOSSID). It is expected be helpful early detection and response outbreak also useful antimicrobial resistance measures. Method: The study period was 2010-2014 seasons. area whole Ibaraki prefecture, Japan. NOSSID reports number patients with pneumonia from 13 hospitals....
A known barrier to getting breast cancer survivors (BCSs) engage in habitual exercise is a lack of information on recommended physical activity levels provided them by oncology care providers (OCPs). However, the actual situation Japan remains unclear. This study sought clarify OCPs' awareness and practice related Japan's recommendation for BCSs ascertain barriers routine provision.We conducted web-based survey involving members Japanese Breast Cancer Society (JBCS) Association...
A strain of the recently validated species Faecalibacterium hominis shares 99.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with type duncaniae . The aim this study was to evaluate taxonomic relationship between F. and duncaniae. JCM 31915 T showed 73.0 digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) value 39347 average nucleotide identity (ANI) these two strains 96.7 %. These results indicate that represent members same species. Based on data, we propose as a later heterotypic synonym An emended description...
Introduction A major concern is that few cancer survivors meet the guidelines for recommended levels of physical activity. No studies have investigated activity among breast nationwide in Japan.
