[A case of abscessed hepatic hemangioma with Edwardsiella tarda].

A 55-year-old man with a history of pancreatic cancer surgery and was undergoing chemotherapy presented with high fever. A computed tomography scan revealed a liver abscess at the location of a previously identified hemangioma. PTAD was performed, and contrast imaging revealed a connection with the bile duct.

Repair of the threatened feminine identity: experience of women with cervical cancer undergoing fertility preservation surgery.

Background: Fertility preservation is important for women of reproductive age with cervical cancer. The underlying reasons behind suboptimal reproductive results after successful fertility-preserving surgery have not yet been fully revealed.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the experience of fertility preservation with radical trachelectomy from the perspective of women with cervical cancer.

Behavior of Adult Influenza Patients during the 2009 Pandemic after Outpatient Clinic Presentations at a Hospital in Tokyo, Japan.

The 2009 pandemic of novel swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) highlighted the importance of community mitigation measures such as voluntary isolation. During the pandemic, we investigated the voluntary isolation behavior of patients with influenza during the 7-day period after they visited an outpatient clinic at a hospital in Tokyo, Japan. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on patients diagnosed with influenza.

Stereoselective synthesis of atropisomeric korupensamines A and B utilizing planar chiral arene chromium complex.

Naphthyl tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids, atropisomeric korupensamines A and B and ent-korupensamine B, were synthesized by syn-selective cross-coupling of a planar chiral arene chromium complex with naphthylboronic acid and subsequent axial isomerization or tricarbonylchromium migration to the inverted arene face as a key step. Palladium(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of planar chiral arene chromium complex 12 with naphthylboronic acid 9 gave syn-biaryl coupling product 13. syn-Biaryl chromium complex 13 was heated in 1:1 mixture of di-n-butyl ether and 1,2-dichloroethane to give a face-inverted anti-biaryl chromium complex 14 without axial isomerization.

Folic acid supplementation on red kidney bean-induced diarrhoea and enteric bacterial translocation into mesenteric lymph nodes in rats: a pilot study.

Unlabelled: Deaths following childhood diarrhoea, a major health problem in developing countries, are often associated with malnutrition and septicaemic complications. Folic acid has been used in the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhoea in the tropics. Using a rat model, we evaluated the protective effect of large doses of folic acid on diarrhoea, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and translocation of enteric bacteria into mesenteric lymph nodes induced by a raw red kidney bean-based diet containing lectin (phytohemagglutinin).
