Effects of Interpersonal Stress and Maladaptive Metacognitive Beliefs on Paranoid Ideation Among Japanese University Students.

Introduction: Paranoid ideation, a crucial component of psychotic-like experiences, tends to increase between early and late adolescence, even in the general population, and it negatively affects overall mental health and social adjustment. Japanese adolescents experience high levels of interpersonal stress. However, few studies have examined the relationship between paranoid ideation and interpersonal stress.

Promoted Hydride Substitution in BaTiO Cubes.

We report the synthesis of perovskite oxyhydride BaTiOH cubes (100-300 nm) using the topochemical hydride reaction of the hydrothermally synthesized oxide. X-ray and neutron diffraction studies revealed that the anion (hydride/oxide) exchange is greatly improved, leading to a maximum hydride content of 0.7, which is higher than previously reported, while no reaction is seen for those with oleic acid on their surface.

Translation and Cross-cultural Adaptation of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow Score Into Japanese and Comparison of Visual Analog Scale and 10-Point Scale Formats.

Background: The Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic shoulder and elbow score (KJOC) is sensitive enough to detect subtle changes in the functional level of the shoulder or elbow in overhead athletes. However, a Japanese version of the KJOC is not yet available. Moreover, the original KJOC uses a visual analog scale (VAS) assessment format that requires a print version so that users can add a check mark along a horizontal line.

A Case of Infected Abdominal Aortic Graft with Pancreatic Fistula: Successful Treatment through a Staged Approach with Percutaneous Catheter Drainage and Partial Graft Excision.

A man in his 60s developed a pancreatic pseudocyst postoperatively after an open graft replacement for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Endoscopic drainage was performed; however, this led to an aortic graft infection due to macroscopic communication with the perigraft cavity. Percutaneous drainage was performed to manage the pancreatic fistula and graft infection simultaneously.

Supraspinal Activation Induced by Visual Kinesthetic Illusion Modulates Spinal Excitability.

Repetitive passive movement (RPM) enhances reciprocal inhibition. RPM is more effective when performed rapidly and at wide joint angles. However, patients with limited joint range of motion may not receive the most effective RPM.
