Effect of restrictive versus liberal fluid therapy for laparoscopic gastric surgery on postoperative complications: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Currently, laparoscopic surgery is a standard technique in the field of abdominal surgery. However, the most adequate fluid regimen during laparoscopic surgery remains unclear. The aim of this trial is to compare a restricted fluid therapy with a liberal fluid therapy for laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

[Infective Endocarditis Diagnosed After Acute Arterial Occlusion of the Lower Extremity:Report of a Case].

A 73-year-old male was admitted to our hospital due to fever and right lower limb pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed occlusion from the right common femoral artery to the right superficial femoral artery and from the left common iliac artery to the left internal and external iliac arteries, leading to a diagnosis of bilateral acute arterial occlusion of the lower extremity. Emergency thrombectomy was performed to improve arterial blood flow.

Sex differences among sleep disordered breathing, obesity, and metabolic comorbidities; the Nagahama study.

Background: Although sex differences in the prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is recognized, whether a sex difference exists among obese individuals with SDB with or without comorbidities has not been well investigated. This study aimed to explore the relationships of sex differences among SDB, obesity, and metabolic comorbidities.

Methods: This study evaluated 7713 community participants with nocturnal oximetry ≥2 nights.

Colorimetric quantitative detection of steroid hormones using an indicator displacement assay-based chemosensor array.

A colorimetric chemosensor array based on an indicator displacement assay has achieved not only visualization of differences in hormone structures but also quantitative detection of sex hormones in their mixtures. Furthermore, the chemosensor array has allowed the detection of a steroid hormone in diluted human saliva.

Comparative analysis of gut microbiota in hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant prostate cancer in Japanese men.

Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the development and progression of prostate cancer, with previous studies indicating that certain bacterial taxa are more abundant in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) compared to hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC). Notably, the composition of gut microbiota can vary significantly by geographic region, and Japanese individuals have a distinct microbial profile. However, research exploring these differences within Japanese populations remains limited.
