Acidic oral environment's potential contribution to palladium-induced systemic contact dermatitis: Case report.

Acidic oral environments may trigger systemic contact dermatitis via ionization of metals, including palladium. A patch test revealed a late delayed positive response to palladium, emphasizing the need for nuanced diagnostic approaches for allergy management.

Persistent brain exposure to high sodium induces stroke onset by upregulation of cerebral microbleeds and oxidative stress in hypertensive rats.

High salt intake induces hypertension and enhances stroke onset. However, whether an increase in brain sodium exposure itself is harmful and has poor prognosis remains unknown. Therefore, we employed hypertensive rats that underwent intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of sodium for 28 days and evaluated stroke onset and related cytotoxic brain injuries.

Comparison of the clinical performance of the Atyp.C parameter of the UF-5000 fully automated urine particle analyzer with that of microscopic urine sediment analysis.

A Objectives: Urinalysis is one of the most common laboratory screening tests to detect problems in the renal and urinary system; however, they cannot detect atypical cells (Atyp.Cs). The Sysmex UF-5000, a fully automated urine particle analyzer, can detect Atyp.

[Safety of Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Patients of Advanced Age and Our Efforts to Prevent Postoperative Pneumonia].

With the aging of society, surgical patients are becoming older. The same trend can be seen in patients undergoing highly invasive operations, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD). The risk of postoperative complications is reportedly higher in patients of advanced age, and postoperative pneumonia occurs at particularly high frequency.
