Article Synopsis
- Proximal renal tubular dysfunction is common during diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, but previous studies have lacked comprehensive analysis of its multiple functions and have not explored distal tubular function.
- In a study involving patients with and without DKA, those with DKA showed significantly higher levels of urinary β2-microglobulin and lower blood pH and phosphorus reabsorption, indicating renal dysfunction.
- The findings suggest that DKA in type 1 diabetes may lead to multiple proximal tubular dysfunctions resembling transient Fanconi syndrome, while distal renal tubular acidosis is unlikely to be present.
Background Telemedicine is expected to play an increasingly important role in building universal emergency medical systems without geographical disparities in the future. To eliminate healthcare disparities between regions, Wakayama Prefecture in Japan has been promoting telemedicine for closer inter-hospital coordination with secondary and tertiary emergency medical care hospitals. The "Join" diagnostic image-sharing app has been used since November 2018 for operating a remote emergency support system that shares medical images of emergency patients between 13 secondary and tertiary emergency medical care hospitals in Wakayama Prefecture.

- The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of using gelatin sponge strips for tract embolization after percutaneous transhepatic portal vein procedures, addressing concerns of life-threatening bleeding.
- Conducted from September 2017 to February 2024, it involved 100 consecutive patients who underwent 105 interventions, with successful embolization preventing any post-procedure bleeding.
- Minor portal vein thrombosis was noted in a few cases, but it wasn't clinically significant, suggesting that gelatin sponge use is both safe and effective for this purpose.
Background: The current 3D-iFlow application can only measure the arrival time of contrast media through intensity values. If the flow rate could be estimated by 3D-iFlow, patient-specific hemodynamics could be determined within the scope of normal diagnostic management, eliminating the need for additional resources for blood flow rate estimation.
Objective: The aim of this study is to develop and validate a method for measuring the flow rate by data obtained from 3D-iFlow images - a prototype application in Four-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (4D-DSA).
Metal-organic framework adhesives with exceptionally high heat resistance.
Sci Technol Adv Mater
April 2024
We synthesized high-heat-resistant adhesives based on metal - organic frameworks owing to their high decomposition temperature and the absence of a glass transition. Heat-resistance tests were performed on adhesive joints consisting of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-67-based adhesives and a copper substrate. The as-synthesized ZIF-67-based adhesive exhibited heat resistances at 600 and 700°C in air and nitrogen atmospheres, respectively, comparable to those of conventional high-heat-resistant polymer-based adhesives.
