Background: Anticholinergic burden, reflecting the cumulative impact of medications with anticholinergic properties, significantly predicts adverse drug reactions and geriatric syndromes in older adults. Although anticholinergic risk scales (ARS) have been developed and validated in various countries, none have been tailored specifically for Japan. The Japanese Anticholinergic Risk Scale (JARS) was developed to adapt the existing ARS frameworks to the Japanese context, considering unique medication profiles and cultural factors.

Here, we present a case of multiple cervical and thoracic aortic aneurysms with right vocal fold palsy successfully treated with two-stage hybrid repair using retrograde in situ branched grafting.
Case Presentation: A 52-year-old patient with multiple cervical and thoracic aortic aneurysms and right vocal fold palsy was treated using two-stage hybrid repair.
Objectives: Housing adaptations may contribute to aging in place for older adults with care needs by reducing the risk of long-term care facility (LTCF) admissions, but this association remains unclear. We examined the association between housing adaptations and LTCF admissions among older adults with care needs.
Design: Retrospective cohort study using data from a Japanese municipality.
Background: The L-type amino acid transporter (LAT1) exhibits significantly increased expression within tumor cells across various neoplasms. However, the clinical significance of LAT1 expression in patients with pleural mesothelioma (PM) remains unclear.
Methods: Eighty patients diagnosed with PM between June 2007 and August 2022, were eligible for this study.
Article Synopsis
- Salmon milt extract (SME) is high in nucleotides and may help reduce obesity by inhibiting glucose absorption.
- The study found that SME reduced the expression of sugar transporters SGLT1 and GLUT2 in Caco-2 cells, leading to decreased glucose uptake.
- Additionally, the nucleotide dTMP specifically played a significant role in lowering the expression of these transporters, highlighting its potential impact on glucose metabolism.
