Effectiveness of Watching a Kumagai Method Video for Long-Nipple Bottle-Feeding for Children with Cleft Lip and Palate: A Pilot Experimental Before-After Trial Study.

Aim: This study aimed to determine whether the Kumagai method could be followed by watching an instructional video and to compare the feeding actions of specialists and the general population.

Materials And Methods: Eleven adults from diverse backgrounds were recruited and asked to feed a baby doll using a bottle feeder with a long nipple, and their actions were recorded. Then, they watched a 2.

Nurses' Techniques for Bottle-Feeding of Infants with Feeding Difficulties: A Qualitative Descriptive Study.

This study identified bottle-feeding techniques for infants with feeding difficulties. Between December 2021 and April 2022, a survey was distributed to nurses with at least 5 years of experience in caring for infants at 1109 hospitals in Japan. The questionnaire included open-ended questions regarding preparation before bottle-feeding, methods of nipple insertion, methods of assisting with sucking, and criteria for continuing bottle-feeding.

The Kumagai Method: Feeding Techniques Using the Pigeon Baby Cleft Palate Bottle.

Background/objectives: This study aimed to identify the P-bottle feeding techniques systematically organized by Ms. Kumagai, an expert in nursing care for children with a cleft lip and/or palate (CLP), which were developed as she gained expertise in feeding affected children.

Methods: We recruited three nurses who had mastered the Kumagai method for feeding with a P-bottle.

Qualitative inductive analysis of the lives of women with persistent cloaca based on their narratives.

Purpose: The study aimed to explore and describe the lives of patients with persistent cloaca (PC) from childhood to adulthood.

Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with nine adult patients with PC. Their experiences and thoughts regarding this disease were analyzed qualitatively and inductively.

A lmod1a mutation causes megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis in a CRISPR/Cas9-modified zebrafish model.

Purpose: Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is defined as a congenital visceral myopathy with genetic mutations. However, the etiology and pathophysiology are not fully understood. We aimed to generate a gene leiomodin-1a (lmod1a) modification technique to establish a zebrafish model of MMIHS.

The Kumagai Method Utilizing the Pigeon Bottle Feeder with a Long Nipple: A Descriptive Study for the Development of Feeding Techniques for Children with Cleft Lip and/or Palate.

We aimed to identify the steps involved in the Kumagai method-an experimental nursing procedure to feed children with cleft lip and/or palate, using a feeder with a long nipple. We conducted a descriptive study, enrolling five specialist nurses who have mastered the Kumagai method. Their approaches were examined using structured interviews.

Surgical outcome and prognosis of pediatric solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm.

Background: The aim of this study was to clarify the characteristics and outcomes of pediatric patients with solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) who underwent pancreatectomy.

Methods: Pediatric patients with SPNs who underwent pancreatectomy at our institution between 1995 and 2020 were included in the study.

Results: During the period under review, 12 patients underwent pancreatectomy for SPNs (median age: 10 years; range: 6-15 years).

Bottle-feeding techniques for children with cleft lip and palate experiencing feeding difficulties.

Objective: This study aimed to identify clinical bottle-feeding techniques practiced by nurses for children with cleft lip and palate experiencing feeding difficulties.

Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was used. Five anonymous questionnaires were distributed to each hospital, and 1,109 hospitals with obstetrics, neonatology, or pediatric dentistry wards in Japan were enrolled in the survey between December 2021 and January 2022.

Development of Versatile and Interactive Model Lessons in Kampo Medicine Education.

Objective: To develop versatile and interactive model classes by generating the contents of Kampo classroom sessions that can be taught by instructors who are not familiar with Kampo medicine.

Methods: In 2018, we conducted Kampo classroom sessions among fourth-year medical students at Kyushu University in which we incorporated new content. A videotaped digest edition of the classes was sent to Kampo medicine instructors in medical schools throughout Japan.

The evaluation of rectal mucosal punch biopsy in the diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease: a 30-year experience of 954 patients.

Purpose: For 30 years, we have consecutively performed rectal mucosal punch biopsy to diagnose Hirschsprung's disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of our technique.

Methods: Patients with suspected Hirschsprung's disease who underwent punch biopsy, including our original "K-PUNCH" method using an S-moid forceps and non-specific blood-collecting tube at our department and branch hospital between April 1986 and March 2016 were included in the present study.

Current clinical features in diagnosis and treatment for immaturity of ganglia in Japan: analysis from 10-year nationwide survey.

Background: To identify the current clinical features in diagnosis and treatment for immaturity of ganglia (IG) in Japan, we retrospectively analyzed data for patients with IG from the nationwide surveys in Japan. This survey was performed by Japanese Study Group of allied disorders of Hirschsprung's disease (ADHD).

Methods: In primary research, data on totally 355 cases of ADHD were collected for 10 years (2001-2010).

Reevaluation of acetylcholinesterase staining for the diagnosis of Hirschsprung disease and allied disorders.

Objectives: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) staining has become the gold standard for definitively diagnosing Hirschsprung disease (HD), although some pitfalls have been reported. We reevaluated a large series at our institute in order to validate the accuracy of AChE staining for detecting HD.

Methods: A retrospective study of the rectal mucosal specimens of all of the children with suspected HD during a 13-year period was performed.

Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute myeloid leukemia with tetraploidy.

The patient was a 62-year-old man. His hematological data in April 2000 had shown no abnormalities, but he was referred to our hospital because of a fever and leukocytosis in June 2000. The peripheral blood showed 29.
