"It's a Story of Another World": Perceptions of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games Among Japanese Athletes With Psychiatric Impairments.

This study explored how athletes with psychiatric impairment in Japan perceived the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Data from 15 interviews were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis; consequently, three themes were generated: (1) The Paralympics: "A Story of Another World"-the participants viewed the Paralympics only as a movement and not directly related to them; (2) "Do I Really Have to Work That Hard?"-"supercrip" representations through the Paralympics led to the disempowerment and disablement of people with psychiatric impairment, exacerbating their symptoms; (3) "A Futsal That Really Isn't Very Good"-the privileged status of the Paralympics presents only a facet of disability sport, which has resulted in other sports for people with psychiatric impairment, such as football, not being properly valued. This study adds to the literature regarding the legacy of the Paralympics and emphasizes moving beyond using the Paralympics as a vehicle for a more inclusive world.

Gene expression analysis for stem browning in the mushroom .

The mushroom is consumed worldwide and has high industrial value because of its rich content of bioactive compounds such as ergothioneine and eritadenine. Currently, mainstream artificial cultivation methods for this mushroom typically use synthetic logs. However, browning of the stem's interior (stem browning) has been observed during the cultivation in some strains.

Predictive model for pancreatic fistula in minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer.

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the potentially serious complications after gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC). Drain amylase level is a predictor of POPF in open and laparoscopic gastrectomy, but no study has focused on minimally invasive surgery (MIS), including robotic gastrectomy (RG). This study assesses the effect of drain amylase levels for POPF in MIS and develop a prediction model in the MIS era.

Process performance of in-situ bio-methanation for co-digestion of sewage sludge and lactic acid, aiming to utilize waste poly-lactic acid as methane.

This study examined hydrogen conversion efficiency and operational stability in pilot-scale in-situ bio-methanation during the co-digestion of sewage sludge and lactic acid (partially derived from waste poly-lactic acid). Parallel laboratory-scale experiments were also conducted. In the pilot, hydrogen conversion efficiency decreased from 98.

Safety and feasibility of laparoscopic stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by minimally invasive gastrectomy for resectable gastric cancer with gastric outlet obstruction.

Background: Advanced gastric cancer with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) causes malnutrition and medication adherence issues, leading to a poor prognosis. We developed a novel multimodal, less invasive treatment approach for gastric cancer patients with symptomatic GOO: laparoscopic stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy (LSPGJ) combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), followed by minimally invasive gastrectomy with reuse of gastrojejunostomy. This study is a retrospective analysis of the safety and feasibility of our treatment strategy.
