Identification of Issues Related to Enteral Nutrients Using a Database of Near-miss Events from Community Pharmacies.

Undernutrition is a common risk after surgery or during periods when oral dietary intake is challenging. Enteral nutrients, frequently utilized in nutritional management, are drugs associated with multiple contraindications involving pathology and allergy, and they require careful attention in dispensing. However, the occurrence of nutrition-related incidents in community pharmacies remains unknown.

Oxidative Stress and Generalised Pustular Psoriasis: Report of d-ROM Measurements in Nine Cases Including Three of Pustular Psoriasis of Pregnancy.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathogenesis of generalised pustular psoriasis (GPP), but this involvement has not been fully elucidated. We performed the diacron-reactive oxygen metabolite (d-ROM) test and the biological antioxidant potential (BAP) test on sera from nine patients with active GPP who were hospitalised and treated at our hospital, including three patients with pustular psoriasis of pregnancy (PPP). The serum d-ROM and BAP levels were evaluated before treatment and at 1 month of treatment.

Prostate dose escalation may positively impact survival in patients with clinically node-positive prostate cancer definitively treated by radiotherapy: surveillance study of the Japanese Radiation Oncology Study Group (JROSG).

Objective: To retrospectively analyze outcomes of patients who received definitive pelvic irradiation for clinically pelvic node-positive (cT1-4N1M0) prostate cancer (PCa).

Materials And Methods: Clinical records of 148 patients with cT1-4N1M0 PCa treated with definitive pelvic radiotherapy (RT) between 2011 and 2015 were retrospectively collected from 25 institutions by the Japanese Radiation Oncology Study Group. The median age, initial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and biologically effective dose (BED) to the prostate with α/β of 1.

Attention Overload Virtual Reality Training System-Extension of Effective Attention Resources.

In recent times, there have been numerous proposals for body extensions, such as the "Third Arm" and other augmented limbs. While these extended limbs effectively address physical limitations in multitasking, they impose a significant cognitive burden by necessitating attention to multiple positions. In this research, we have designed a virtual reality training program that introduces a manageable attentional load, progressively intensifying it to enhance human multitasking capabilities by extending effective attentional resources.

Reducing Visual Dependence of Postural Control in Older Adults with a Vibration Belt Indicating Shifts in Center of Gravity.

Balance declines with age, and improving balance requires improving postural control. A major reason postural control becomes more difficult with age is that older adults often experience decreases in visual information due to vision loss. We developed a training system to improve postural control in older adults.
