Investigating the effects of home-based rehabilitation after intensive inpatient rehabilitation on motor function, activities of daily living, and caregiver burden.

Background: Home-based rehabilitation involves professional rehabilitation care and guidance offered by physical, occupational, and speech therapists to patients in their homes to help them recuperate in a familiar living environment. The effects on the patient's motor function and activities of daily living (ADLs), and caregiver burden for community-dwelling patients are well-documented; however, little is known about the immediate benefits in patients discharged from the hospital. Therefore, we examined the effects of continuous home-based rehabilitation immediately after discharge to patients who received intensive rehabilitation during hospitalization.

A Case of Cholangitis with Vibrio fluvialis Bacteremia Possibly Related to Frequent Consumption of Supermarket Sushi in a Japanese Woman with a Gallbladder-Duodenal Fistula.

Vibrio fluvialis is a halophilic, motile, flagellated, gram-negative bacterium commonly associated with acute gastroenteritis. However, extraintestinal infections are rare. We describe an unusual case of V.

A Case of Crohn's disease with Granulomatous Interstitial Nephritis as an Extraintestinal Complication from the Time of the Diagnosis.

Granulomatous interstitial nephritis (GIN) has been reported in <0.5% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and most cases of GIN are drug-induced. A 13-year-old boy was referred for the evaluation of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss.

Efficiency of a Long-term Infectious Diseases Consultation and Antimicrobial Stewardship Program at a Japanese Cancer Center: An Interrupted Time-Series Analysis.

Background: Patients with cancer are particularly susceptible to developing drug-resistant organisms due to the high frequency of infections during cancer treatment and the use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Therefore, patients with cancer are ideal candidates for an antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP); however, no established ASPs specifically target these patients. In this study, we evaluated the effect of a 46-month ASP intervention and infectious diseases consultation using a unique antimicrobial quality measure.
