Few studies have examined the relationship between teleworking practices and presenteeism. This study determined the association between teleworking practices and presenteeism among teleworkers in Japan. A cross-sectional online survey was administered to 2687 teleworkers from five companies in Japan, collecting data on demographic variables, teleworking practices, frequency and duration of teleworking, presenteeism, and various lifestyle- and health-related factors.

Introduction: Heated tobacco products (HTPs) and e-cigarettes (ECs) have gained traction as alternatives for harm reduction, especially in Japan. In particular, the use of HTPs is rapidly gaining popularity among young adults in Japan, with a prevalence of 10.9% in 2020.

Objectives: Nonrestorative sleep (NRS) and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) are important indicators of daytime dysfunction. Electronic media use before bedtime greatly affects adolescent sleep quality. However, few studies have examined factors associated with these symptoms.

Remission in schizophrenia patients is associated with neurocognitive, social, and role functioning during both the early and chronic stages of schizophrenia. It is well-established that the amplitudes of duration mismatch negativity (dMMN) and frequency MMN (fMMN) are reduced in schizophrenia patients. However, the potential link between MMN and remission has not been established.

Previous studies on cadmium adsorption of calcium carbonate have found that polymorph, and, crystallinity are influential factors for adsorbing cadmium ions. The predominant factor for cadmium adsorption has yet to be elucidated because these factors are linked. To overcome this, here each factor is investigated separately.

We measured P300, an event-related potential, in subjects with at-risk mental states (ARMS) and aimed to determine whether P300 parameter can predict progression to overt schizophrenia. Thirty-three subjects with ARMS, 39 with schizophrenia, and 28 healthy controls participated in the study. All subjects were antipsychotic-free.

Article Synopsis
  • Reduced amplitude of duration mismatch negativity (dMMN) is associated with psychotic disorders and individuals at risk for psychosis, but few studies have tracked these changes over time.
  • The study compared dMMN amplitude between individuals at-risk for psychosis who later developed it (ARMS-P) and those who did not (ARMS-NP), along with healthy controls, measuring dMMN twice over a mean interval of 2 years.
  • Results showed that ARMS-P individuals had lower dMMN amplitudes at baseline and a significant decline in amplitude over time, suggesting that dMMN could serve as a biological marker for predicting the onset of psychosis.
