In this study, we investigated the sleep-wake rhythm of nursery school children with the aim of supporting their health and mental/physical development. We analyzed 4881 children from infancy to 6 years of age, using 2 week sleep tables recorded by their guardians. The tables contained night bedtimes, wake times, nighttime/daytime sleep duration, and the differences in these between weekdays and weekends.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on the factors that affect the visibility of early gastric cancer during endoscopic procedures and how linked color imaging compares to traditional white light imaging.
  • A total of 97 lesions were evaluated, with findings indicating that smaller lesions and the presence of intestinal metaplasia decreased visibility in white light imaging.
  • The results showed that linked color imaging significantly improved visibility scores, especially for smaller lesions and those with intestinal metaplasia, thereby suggesting it is a more effective imaging technique for detecting early gastric cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the link between blood group O and the likelihood of rebleeding in patients with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (ALGIB).
  • Out of 2336 patients analyzed, those with blood group O had higher rebleeding rates within 30 days (17.9%) and 1 year (21.9%) compared to non-O patients.
  • Blood group O was found to be an independent risk factor for rebleeding, while rates of thrombosis and mortality were similar between groups.

Background And Aims: Emergency medical services for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary according to region and country, and patient prognosis differs accordingly. In Japan, physicians may provide prehospital care. However, the effect of physician-present prehospital care on achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with cardiac arrest is not clear.

We investigated whether the abnormal rhythms in infants are related to the future development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using a questionnaire from September to October 2016. The parents of 160 children with ASD (male, n = 123; female, n = 37) were recruited from two hospitals in K and H cities, and as a control group, 145 children (male, n = 75; female, n = 70) were recruited from four nursery schools in T city. The associations between ASD and bedtime and waking time on weekdays and weekends in infancy (<1 years of age), at 1-3 years, and at 3-5 years of ages were studied using a multivariable logistic regression analysis.
