Purpose: This descriptive analysis evaluated the 2022 assisted reproductive technology (ART) data collected by the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology registry.
Methods And Results: In 2022 (cutoff date 30 November 2023), 634 of 635 registered ART facilities participated; 602 implemented ART treatment, with 543 630 registered cycles and 77 206 neonates (9.1% and 10.
Introduction: This study investigated the effects of intragastric administration of apelin-13 on the secretion of critical pancreatic hormones in a cohort of three-week-old Wistar rats. The research aimed to uncover apelin's modulatory roles in endocrine interactions dictating metabolic homeostasis during early life.
Material And Methods: Rats were randomly assigned to control or experimental groups, receiving apelin-13 or saline for 14 days.
Article Synopsis
- The aging population is leading to a rise in older wheelchair users involved in motor vehicle accidents, with a notable increase in fatalities among this group from 2017 to 2022 in Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
- The existing three-point seatbelts are not suitable for most wheelchair passengers, causing serious injuries when collisions occur due to improper fitting and body movement during impact.
- There is a call for nationwide statistics and investigation into injuries among wheelchair users in vehicles to develop better safety measures and restraint systems, aimed at reducing fatal and severe injuries in future collisions.
Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an echocardiographic measure to detect chemotherapy-related cardiovascular dysfunction. However, its limited availability and the needed expertise may restrict its generalization. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based GLS might overcome these challenges.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: Some pregnant women avoid vehicle driving owing to the risk of contact between their protruding abdomen and steering wheel. This study was performed to determine whether abdominal protrusion in late-term pregnant car users affects the occurrence and severity of abdominal injuries in motor vehicle collisions using a national crash database.
Methods: The National Automotive Sampling System/Crashworthiness Data System was used to analyse maternal background, collision characteristics, outcome and Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) scores for the body regions of all persons involved in the collision.
