Article Synopsis
- The study investigates non-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-defining malignancies (NADMs) among people living with hemophilia and HIV in Japan, focusing on the period after the approval of direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C virus (HCV).
- A nationwide survey was conducted across 395 HIV treatment facilities, collecting data on 328 individuals from 2015 to 2022, which revealed that liver cancer was the most common NADM, accounting for 43% of cases identified.
- The findings indicate a significantly higher rate of liver cancer and other malignancies in this population, particularly in younger patients, emphasizing the importance of regular cancer screening and preventive strategies for PLWH
Biliary atresia (BA) is the most frequent hepatic cause of death in early childhood. Early referral and timely Kasai portoenterostomy are essential for the improvement of long-term native liver survival rate of BA patients. Screening with stool color card (SCC) has been implemented in Japan since 1994.

Methods: The healthy volunteers (age 15-18, n = 500, M 217, F 283) were recruited for this prospective multicenter study. The volunteers were asked to keep one extremity down and another extremity up in supine rest, sitting with straight legs, and upright rest.
The continuing development and manufacture of infrared devices, together with improvements in thermal body mapping techniques have simplified surface skin thermography which is being used more extensively than ever before. Normative thermography data, however, remains incomplete. A normative blood redistribution range of skin temperatures was established for use as a reference for laboratory infrared thermography (IT), thermal body mapping, and mass fever screenings.
