Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of radiographic hand osteoarthritis (HOA) in older Japanese individuals in three distinct regions with unique geographic and occupational characteristics and explore the regional variations and factors, including occupational workload, that affect HOA.
Methods: We analysed the radiographic images and data of 1642 participants aged ≥60 years (mean, 75.6 years).
Cycling is a beneficial physical activity for rehabilitating individuals with lower-limb amputations and serves as a feasible leisure sport. However, the optimal bicycle configuration for cycling with a unilateral transtibial prosthesis at leisure levels has not been investigated. For saddle height at professional cycling levels, existing literature suggests utilizing the same configuration as that used by intact cyclists, where the knee reaches 25-35° at maximum extension.

We evaluated the role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-related chronic gastritis in the development of osteoporosis in a population-based study. A total of 1690 subjects in the cohort of the Research on Osteoarthritis/ osteoporosis Against Disability (ROAD) were investigated, and the association between gastritis and osteoporosis was evaluated by the presence of serologically assessed H.

- This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) using the GORE TAG and conformable GORE TAG grafts in a real-world setting, focusing on 10-year survival rates and freedom from aorta-related deaths.
- Out of 331 patients treated from 2011 to 2021, 175 were analyzed, showing a mean follow-up of 46.5 months, with 30-day mortality at 2.86% and decreasing survival rates over 10 years: 42.4% overall survival and 95% freedom from aorta-related deaths at 9 years.
- Complications included a 13.1% rate
