Background & Aims: High-fat, low-carbohydrate enteral nutrition has gained attention, with expectations of an improved respiratory condition, fewer complications, and lower mortality. The present study performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to examine the effects of high-fat, low-carbohydrate enteral nutrition in critically ill adult patients.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE via Pubmed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and ICHUSHI for randomized controlled trials comparing high-fat, low-carbohydrate enteral nutrition to standard enteral nutrition in critically ill adult patients who received enteral nutrition.
Background: Bisono® is the world's first transdermal formulation of a bisoprolol, which is approved for the treatment of hypertension in Japan. We aimed to investigate the usefulness of this formulation in patients who were admitted to our hospital with cardiac symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome or an acute exacerbation of heart failure.
Methods: This study involved a retrospective survey of medical records from September 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 obtained from the Cardiovascular Center of Kyoto Katsura Hospital.

Background: Voriconazole concentrations display a large variability, which cannot completely be explained by known factors. We investigated the relationships of voriconazole concentration with patient-specific variables and concomitant medication to identify clinical factors affecting voriconazole clearance.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of voriconazole trough concentration, laboratory data, and concomitant medication in patients was performed.
We investigated how dizocilpine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, affects the development of morphine dependence in mice. Co-administration of dizocilpine (0.25 mg/kg) and morphine (10 mg/kg) for 5 days attenuated the development of tolerance to the antinociceptive effects of morphine.
