Dairy Intake and All-Cause, Cancer, and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Risk in A Large Japanese Population: A 12-Year Follow-Up of the J-MICC Study.

Aim: We examined the association between dairy intake and all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular disease mortality in a cohort of the general population followed up for 12 years across Japan.

Methods: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of 79,715 participants from the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort study (57.2% women, mean age 54.

Occult Nesidioblastosis Detected by 111In-Pentetreotide Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography.

Nesidioblastosis, also known as persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, is usually observed in children and infants, although more recently adult-onset nesidioblastosis has also been described. We present a case of nesidioblastosis in a 78-year-old man that was detected by 111In-pentetreotide single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT). The patient was transferred to our hospital's emergency department in a hypoglycemic coma.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate versus creatinine clearance to determine anticoagulant dosage after lower-limb orthopedic surgery.

Background: Anticoagulation is recommended for thromboprophylaxis after lower-limb orthopedic surgery. The suggested dosage is based on creatinine clearance (CCr) in the labels. However, most facilities only provide estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as laboratory data.

Food group intakes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein among community-dwelling Japanese adults: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: Healthy dietary patterns have been linked to lower levels of chronic inflammation. The present study aimed to investigate the associations between food group intakes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) among community-dwelling adults.

Design: Cross-sectional.

Effective method for life-style modifications focused on dietary sodium intake in chronic kidney disease: sub-analysis of the FROM-J study.

Background: Lifestyle modifications by educational sessions are an important component of multidisciplinary treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD). We attempted to identify the best method to teach these modifications in order to ensure their acceptance by patients and investigated its effectiveness in CKD practice.

Methods: This study is a post-hoc analysis of the FROM-J study.
