Evaluation of Correlation between Psychomotor Vigilance Task Scores and Drowsiness Estimation Levels Obtained from Facial Videos.

This paper reports the results of an experiment to evaluate the relationship between results obtained with a drowsiness estimation system we have developed using facial videos and those obtained with the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT), which is a standard index of sleepiness used in sleep medicine. The correlation between PVT scores and the output of the drowsiness estimation system, which outputs drowsiness levels from assigned facial expressions, was calculated using data from 30 subjects. The Spearman's correlation coefficients between the drowsiness estimation results and the PVT mean response time, the slowest 10% response time, and the number of lapses were 0.

Rare case of inguinal ureteral hernia in a child diagnosed by drip infusion pyelography-computed tomography.

Introduction And Importance: Inguinal hernias are the most commonly experienced disease in pediatric surgery. However, it is rare for the organs of the urinary system to prolapse as the contents of the hernia.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 14-year-old boy with congenital paraperitoneal inguinal herniation of the ureter.

Laparoscopic treatment of an abdominoscrotal hydrocele: A case report.

Introduction: Abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH), a composite of scrotal and abdominal hydroceles connected through the inguinal canal, is rare and no consensus regarding its mechanisms and surgical treatments has been reached to date.

Presentation Of The Case: We report a case of an 11-month-old boy with a large ASH. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a huge hydrocele (maximum length: 8 cm).

Exosomal miR-214-3p as a potential novel biomarker for rhabdoid tumor of the kidney.

Purpose: Rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (RTK) is a rare, highly aggressive pediatric renal tumor. No specific biomarkers are available for detection of RTK, and the initial differential diagnosis from other pediatric abdominal tumors, including neuroblastoma (NB), is difficult. Exosomal miRNAs are novel cancer biomarkers that can be detected in biological fluids.

[A Case of Solitary Metastatic Diaphragmatic Tumor from Resected Rectal Cancer].

A 54-year-old woman underwent high anterior resection with D3 lymphadenectomy for rectal cancer at another hospital. She was diagnosed with well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of rectal cancer, pT3, N1, H0, P0, M0, fStage III a. She did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy.

[A Case of Ileocecal Intussusception Due to Small Intestinal Adenocarcinoma].

A 67-year-old female with abdominal pain and vomiting was admitted to our hospital. Abdominal X-ray showed dilated small bowel in the left upper abdomen. She was diagnosed with ileocecal intussusception based on abdominal contrastenhanced computed tomography.
