Features of causes of indirect certified disaster-related death in areas affected by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident: an observational study.

Objectives: To investigate the details of disaster-related deaths due to the indirect health effects of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident following the Great East-Japan Earthquake in 2011 and serve as a source of reference in the event of similar circumstances in the future.

Design: A retrospective observational study.

Setting: Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, which is located 13-38 km north of the FDNPP.

NSAID-mediated cyclooxygenase inhibition disrupts ectodermal derivative formation in axolotl embryos.

Our lab has identified that transcripts and proteins of the cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) isoenzymes are expressed during the early stages of vertebrate embryonic development, and that global COX-1/2 inhibition disrupts neural crest (NC) cell maturation in (axolotl) embryos, with intriguing implications for tissue regeneration and healing. NC cells are embryonic stem cells that differentiate into various adult tissues including craniofacial cartilage, bone, and neurons in the peripheral and enteric nervous systems. Naproxen (NPX), a common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation, exerts its effects through COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition.

The safety and tolerability of berdazimer gel 10.3% in Japanese patients with molluscum contagiosum.

Background: Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a contagious viral skin infection. Berdazimer gel, 10.3% (SB206 12%) is approved in the United States as the first topical, at-home MC prescription medication.
