Background: Despite accumulating evidence and recommendations for management of colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB), the changes in its clinical management and outcomes remain unknown.
Methods: We performed a retrospective tendency analysis on a biennial basis, a propensity score-matched cohort study between the first and latter half groups, and mediation analyses to compare the diagnostic and treatment methods between January 2010 and December 2019 (CODE BLUE-J Study).
Results: A total of 6575 patients with CDB were included.
Arthritis is one of the most common symptoms of Behcet's Disease (BD) observed in 57% of Japanese patients with BD. The relationship between arthritis and other clinical symptoms of BD and the impact of arthritis on the quality of life (QOL) of patients with BD are still unclear. Therefore, the current study aimed to clarify the differences in clinical symptoms depending on the presence or absence of arthritis and evaluate the impact of arthritis on QOL in these patients.

- * MALIF was tested on 15 patients suffering from lumbar spondylolisthesis, resulting in a mean surgery time of about 97 minutes, minimal blood loss, and short hospital stays, with most patients experiencing symptomatic improvement.
- * The technique provides three main benefits: enhanced access to the surgery site, precise discectomy, and improved safety for the nerve root, indicating that MALIF could be a viable minimally invasive surgery option.
Muscle tissue is stabilized by the strong interaction between laminin and matriglycan. Matriglycan is a polysaccharide composed of the repeating disaccharide, -3Xylα1-3GlcAβ1-, and is a pivotal part of the core M3 O-mannosyl glycan. Patients with muscular dystrophy cannot synthesize matriglycan or the core M3 O-mannosyl glycan due to a defect in or the lack of glycosyltransferases owing to glycan synthesis.

Methods: We analyzed 8,956 patients with ALGIB in CODE BLUE-J study and categorized them into four groups based on BSG guidelines. Outcomes included 30-day rebleeding, 30-day mortality, blood transfusion, therapeutic intervention, and severe bleeding.
