Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is known to cause gastrointestinal hemorrhaging; however, few reports have so far specified the site of the hemorrhaging or lesion characteristics. A 79-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with fever, anorexia, and diarrhea which was suspected to be due to gastroenteritis. On day 2, the patient developed hematemesis.

- A retrospective case-control study was conducted to evaluate personalized health guidance interventions for individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity at Takagi Hospital from January 2017 to October 2021.
- The study involved 108 participants who received health guidance, split into two groups: one without diabetes medication and one with medication, while controls matched for age and sex did not receive guidance.
- Results showed that those who received health guidance, especially without pharmacotherapy, showed significant improvements in health metrics such as weight and blood pressure, indicating that personalized health interventions can be beneficial for managing diabetes and obesity.
Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the effectiveness of endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD) as a temporary treatment for patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) before they undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Lap-C).
- Out of 71 cases analyzed, ETGBD had an 85.9% success rate, with successful patients experiencing shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times compared to those in the failure group, who faced more complex conditions.
- The findings suggest that while ETGBD is generally effective for bridging therapy, it can enhance patient quality of life by reducing the need for additional drainage aids before surgery, even though some challenges exist that can affect
Background And Aim: Small gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) are sometimes encountered in daily esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) practice, but whether once-annual or twice-annual endoscopy can provide sufficient follow-up remains unclear. Because follow-up based on small-SEL characteristics is important, this study clarified the natural history of gastric SELs less than 20 mm.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter observation study conducted at 24 Japanese hospitals during April 2000 to March 2020 examined small gastric SELs of ≤20 mm diameter.
Immune responses are different between individuals and personal health histories and unique environmental conditions should collectively determine the present state of immune cells. However, the molecular systems underlying such heterogeneity remain elusive. Here, we conducted a systematic time-lapse single-cell analysis, using 171 single-cell libraries and 30 mass cytometry datasets intensively for seven healthy individuals.
