Real-World Preventive Effects of Suvorexant in Intensive Care Delirium: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of suvorexant on delirium prevention in a real-world setting. Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of suvorexant for delirium prevention in limited randomized clinical trial settings; however, its effectiveness in everyday clinical settings remains unknown.

Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort study was conducted in the intensive care unit of an academic hospital.

tomographic visualization of intracochlear vibration using a supercontinuum multifrequency-swept optical coherence microscope.

This study combined a previously developed optical system with two additional key elements: a supercontinuum light source characterized by high output power and an analytical technique that effectively extracts interference signals required for improving the detection limit of vibration amplitude. Our system visualized 3D tomographic images and nanometer scale vibrations in the cochlear sensory epithelium of a live guinea pig. The transverse- and axial-depth resolution was 3.

Metastatic liposarcoma in the jejunum causing intussusception: report of a case.

We report a case of metastatic liposarcoma in the jejunum manifesting as intestinal intussusception. A 75-year-old man underwent wide excision of a dedifferentiated liposarcoma in his left thigh, followed by adjuvant radiation therapy. He was referred to our department 7 months later with colicky abdominal pain and vomiting.

Alpha-fetoprotein-producing early gastric cancer of the remnant stomach: report of a case.

A 67-year-old man initially underwent a distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer (T1, N0, M0; Stage IA) in March 1995. During the follow-up period, an elevation of the serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level (98.8 ng/ml) and a liver tumor (S4) were detected.
