Abstract We investigated the link between prolonged sedentary bouts and all-cause mortality in patients on chronic hemodialysis, using a prospective cohort. A total of 104 outpatients on chronic hemodialysis from 2013 to 2019, aged 71.4±11.4 years, were enrolled. Prolonged sedentary bouts (≥ 30 min and ≥60 min) (min and bouts) and relative prolonged sedentary bouts (≥ 30 min and ≥ 60 min) (%) on the patients’ non-hemodialysis days were measured by a tri-accelerometer, and we also analyzed the patients’ clinical parameters. The relationship between prolonged sedentary bouts and all-cause mortality was evaluated by a survival analysis and the Cox proportional hazard model. Thirty-five patients died during the follow-up period. A Kaplan-Meier analysis detected significant differences in the survival rate between two groups stratified by the median for all prolonged sedentary-bout parameters. After the adjustment for confounding factors, all of the prolonged sedentary-bout parameters were determinant factors for all-cause mortality. These results indicate that prolonged sedentary bouts on non-hemodialysis days were closely related to all-cause mortality in the patients on hemodialysis.

Abstract We measured the muscle mass and phase angle of each body part to evaluate the relationship between balance and gait functions in individuals with a pre-frailty status. This cross-sectional observational study determined the skeletal muscle mass-to-body weight ratio and phase angles of 21 control (robust) and 29 pre-frail subjects. Their Brief-Balance Evaluation Systems Test, Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test, Life-Space Assessment, and Modified Fall Efficacy Scale scores plus the relationship between muscle mass, phase angle, and motor function were evaluated. In the pre-frailty group (three males, 26 females, aged 75.58±7.60 years), significant correlations were noted between the Brief-Balance Evaluation Systems Test score and lower-limb (r=0.614) and wholebody (r=0.557) phase angles, and between the TUG test score and lower-limb muscle mass-to-body weight ratio (r=−0.616), lower-limb phase angle (r=−0.616), and whole-body phase angle (r=−0.527). Evaluating the phase angle of the lower extremities of pre-frail patients and intervening accordingly may help clinicians maintain and improve these patients’ balance and gait functions.

Abstract This study examined the relationship between cognitive/structural social capital and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among victims of heavy rain and flood. Participants were individuals aged≥18 years affected by the July 2018 heavy rainfall in the cities of Kurashiki and Soja, Japan, and living in temporary housing. We distributed five copies of a questionnaire to 1,991 households and received responses from 1,927 individuals (907 men, 1,008 women, 12 respondents of unspecified sex) in 1,029 households (51.7%). We estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations between high (vs. low) social capital and PTSD or other outcomes. After covariate adjustment, the odds of having PTSD were lower in participants with high cognitive social capital than those with low cognitive social capital (OR=0.346, 95%CI: 0.263-0.456). Elderly women with higher structural social capital tended to have lower PTSD odds than those with lower structural social capital (OR=0.671, 95%CI: 0.431-1.046). The opposite pattern was observed for elderly men (OR=1.315, 95%CI: 0.792-2.183). Cognitive social capital is a protective factor that may reduce PTSD or promote a favorable PTSD prognosis after heavy rainfall and flood events. The associations between structural social capital and PTSD differ by age and sex.

Abstract We assessed risk factors for postoperative urinary retention (UR) in elderly males with femoral bone fractures: 169 Japanese males (mean age 81.95 ± 1.19 years) who had undergone hip surgery at a municipal hospital (Toyama, Japan). A multiple logistic regression analysis was used to test possible risk factors for UR: age, body mass index, serum albumin, cognitive impairment, activities of daily living (ADL), and history of diabetes mellitus (DM). UR occurred in 24 (14.2%) of the 169 patients. A multivariate logistic regression analysis with age adjustment showed that ADL (odds ratio [OR] 3.88; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.2-12.5, p=0.023) was significantly associated with the development of UR, and a history of DM showed marginal significance for UR occurrence (OR 0.36, 95%CI: 0.11-10, p=0.064). These results suggests that ADL is a risk factor for UR development in elderly males who have undergone surgery for femoral neck or trochanter fractures.

Abstract Tanden breathing, an ancient health technique, involves expiratory abdominal pressure breathing is practiced in Japan. In this study we examined the ability of Tanden breathing to relieve constipation. The study was designed as a stratified-block randomized controlled trial enrolling 20 participants. Nineteen were female and one was male, none were elderly. During the 6-week intervention period, the participants performed video-guided Tanden breathing about 10 min once day. We evaluated constipation using the Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS). There were significant differences in the mean CAS score between time points (baseline, 3 weeks after baseline, 6 weeks after baseline), groups (intervention and control), and their interaction (time×group) using repeated-measures analysis of variance. The control group showed no change in the mean CAS score; the mean CAS scores of the intervention group changed from 7.2 at baseline to 3.9 at 3 weeks and 3.1 at 6 weeks after baseline. A regression analysis of the difference in the mean CAS between baseline and 6 weeks later showed that the CAS of the intervention group was 4.3 points lower than that of the control group (95% confidence interval, 2.5-6.1). The results suggested that Tanden breathing is effective in relieving constipation among young women.

Abstract Basic life support (BLS) courses for laypersons, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, is known to improve outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac events. We asked medical students to provide BLS training for laypersons as a part of their emergency medicine education and evaluated the effects of training on the BLS skills of laypersons. We also used a questionnaire to determine whether the medical students who provided the BLS training were themselves more confident and motivated to perform BLS compared to students who did not provide BLS training. The proportions of laypersons who reported confidence in checking for a response, performing chest compressions, and automated external defibrillator (AED) use were significantly increased after the BLS training. The proportions of medical students who reported increased confidence/motivation in terms of understanding BLS, checking for a response, chest compression, use of AED, and willingness to perform BLS were significantly greater among medical students who provided BLS instructions compared to those who did not. BLS instruction by medical students was associated with an improvement in laypersons’ CPR accuracy and confidence in responding to cardiac arrest. The results indicate that medical students could gain understanding, confidence, and motivation in regard to their BLS skills by teaching BLS to laypersons.

Abstract Although reported for Caucasians, changes in plasma clozapine levels after smoking cessation in East Asians remain unclear. We here investigated plasma clozapine levels before and after smoking cessation in Japanese inpatients with schizophrenia. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 14 inpatients with schizophrenia who were being treated with clozapine between June 1, 2019, and July 31, 2019 and who were smokers as of July 1, 2019, the day on which a smoking ban was instituted in the tertiary public psychiatric hospital. The primary outcome was individual differences in plasma clozapine levels between before and after the smoking ban, which were compared using paired t-tests. The mean plasma clozapine level was significantly increased, by 213.4 ng/mL (95% CI 119.9-306.8; p<0.01) or 53.2%. Four of the 14 inpatients experienced clinically significant side effects, such as myoclonus, drooling, and amnesia, due to the development of high plasma clozapine levels. Our findings indicated that close monitoring of plasma clozapine levels before and after smoking cessation and prior dose adjustment of clozapine may be necessary, to prevent a significant risk of developing high plasma clozapine levels, even in Japanese patients.

Abstract Based on a statistical analysis of R&D activities in the field of superconductivity (SC) in a broad sense, the paper reports that Japan's leadership is strong over the past 20 years, in terms of researchers publications and patents. It also essentially shows that among the main world players, the Japanese normalized contribution is significantly dominating, although some trend towards a diminished leadership is observed in the data over the period 2005 -present time. Finally, the paper highlights that by taking advantage of their internationally recognized expertise in the field, joint Japanese and European research teams may advance superconductivity as a reliable road to meet Energy and Health SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals -UNESCO 2015).

Abstract Influenza potentially has a high mortality rate when it affects the elderly. We aimed to examine the differences in clinical manifestations in patients with influenza according to their age. This multicenter prospective study was performed in six medical institutions in Okayama and Kagawa prefectures (Japan). Between December 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020, we collected data on adult patients diagnosed with influenza type A, who were strat-ified into younger (20-49 years), middle-aged (50-64 years), and older groups (≥ 65 years). We compared the presence or absence of fever, respiratory symptoms, and extrapulmonary symptoms according to age group. In total, 203 patients (113, younger; 51, middle-aged; and 39, older) were eligible for the analysis. The maxi-mum body temperature and temperature at first physician visit in the older group were significantly lower than those in the younger group. The incidence of respiratory symptoms was not different among the three groups. Chills, muscle pain, and arthralgia as systemic symptoms were noted significantly more frequently in the younger (80.9%) and middle-aged (75.5%) groups than in the older group (51.3%) (p = 0.002). Fever and sys-temic symptoms were less likely to appear in older patients, possibly resulting in the delaying of hospital visits among older adults.

Abstract The optimal timing of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with cryptococcal meningitis (HIV/CM) is controversial. We designed a clinical trial to inves-tigate the optimal timing for ART initiation in HIV/CM patients. This will be a multicenter, prospective, and randomized clinical trial. Each enrolled patient will be randomized into either the early ART arm or the deferred ART arm. We will compare the mortality and incident rates of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome between the two arms. We hope to elucidate the optimal timing for ART initiation in HIV/CM patients.

Abstract During major flooding in June/July 2018, the Mabi Memorial Hospital in Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan was flooded and patients were stranded in the hospital. Peace Winds Japan, a non-governmental organization, collaborated with the Japanese Disaster Medical Assistance Team and Self-Defense Force Public to transport 8 critical patients from the hospital by helicopter. Ultimately, 54 patients and hospital staff members were safely evacuated. The evacuation was accomplished without any casualties, despite the severe conditions. Public and private organizations can work together and continue to seek ways to collaborate and cooperate in disaster settings.
