Membrane proteins (MPs) play important roles in various cellular processes and are major targets for drugs. Solubilization of MPs is often needed for structural and biophysical studies. For high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, there is a size limit of the sample (<100 kDa), and a high thermal stability at an increased temperature is required.

- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offers temporary support for patients with severe trauma, and this study examines the outcomes of patients treated with veno-arterial ECMO (V-A ECMO) in Japan between 2019 and 2021.
- Out of 72,439 severe trauma patients, only 51 received V-A ECMO, with a discharge survival rate of 31.3%.
- The findings suggest that V-A ECMO may be beneficial in severe trauma cases, particularly where traditional interventions aren't effective, but further research is needed to clarify its indications.
Background: Stem anteversion (SA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for postoperative outcomes, affecting dislocation risk and hip function. Accurate SA placement is challenged by intraoperative estimation methods, with discrepancies reported between predicted and true SA. This study investigates the effect of conventional methods and intraoperative fluoroscopic confirmation on SA accuracy in THA performed with a direct anterior approach using a traction table.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: Patients with atrophic gastritis unrelated to autoimmune gastritis (AIG) and without active () infection or previous eradication therapy are considered to have previous infection-induced atrophic gastritis (PHIG). This study aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of patients with PHIG.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during the study period were enrolled in the study.
Background: Anorectal injury caused by personal watercraft (PWC)-related trauma is rare. However, PWC accidents have increased recently, and since patients tend to be younger, treatment strategies should consider anal function preservation in addition to saving lives.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old female patient who fell into the water when a PWC suddenly accelerated and injured her perineum with a forceful water jet was transported to our hospital.
