Article Synopsis
- Rice vinegar in Japan, specifically Honcho, was traditionally lactic fermented during the Edo period, contrasting with the acetic fermentation commonly used today.
- Analysis of Honcho revealed it has a lower level of acetic acid, higher free amino acids, and a stronger umami taste compared to modern rice vinegar, Kurozu.
- The study suggests that Honcho served as a unique acidic seasoning in Edo period cuisine, enhancing dishes with umami rather than just sourness.
Purpose: To compare the surgical results in cases of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachments between standard scleral buckling (SSB) and scleral buckling with chandelier illumination (SBC) and to analyse the differences in SBC surgical results between an experienced ophthalmologist and inexperienced ophthalmologists.
Methods: Consecutive surgical case series of 155 eyes that underwent scleral buckling were retrospectively reviewed and divided into four groups: SSB performed by an experienced ophthalmologist (n = 54), SBC performed by an experienced ophthalmologist (n = 52), SBC performed by inexperienced ophthalmologists (n = 40) and SSB performed by inexperienced ophthalmologists (n = 9). Then, these four groups were compared.
Aim: Pulmonary embolism remains a leading cause of maternal mortality in developed countries despite developments in venous thromboembolism prophylaxis strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of our approach involving risk-scoring, D-dimer level assessment, and ultrasonography for obstetric venous thromboembolism.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included women who delivered at 22-41 weeks of gestation in The University of Tsukuba Hospital, Japan between January and December 2020.
2019 Global NAFLD Prevalence: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol
December 2022
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the rising prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) globally and regionally, linked to increasing rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
- - A systematic review identified 245 studies with over 5.3 million people, revealing a global NAFLD prevalence of 29.8%, with the highest rates in South America (35.7%) and North America (35.3%).
- - Trend analysis from 1991 to 2019 showed NAFLD prevalence increased from 21.9% to 37.3%, emphasizing the need for policymakers to raise awareness and promote healthier lifestyles to combat this rise.
Background: Localized pleural adhesion (LPA) evaluation in the apical region is difficult even with four-dimensional ultra-low-dose computed tomography (4D-ULDCT) in the supine position due to smaller pleural movements.
Purpose: To assess usability of 4D-ULDCT in the lateral decubitus (LD) position for LPA detection in the apical region.
Material And Methods: Forty-seven patients underwent 4D-ULDCT of a single respiration cycle with 16-cm coverage of body axis in supine and LD positions with the affected lung uppermost.
