Aims/introduction: We carried out a cross-sectional study of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus to elucidate the association between sleep duration and food intake.
Materials And Methods: Overall, 2,887 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (mean age 63.0 years; 61.
This study aimed to reveal the relationship between quality of life (QOL) and sleep quality in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Overall, 202 patients with T1DM were registered in our study, and 192 were eligible for analysis. Baseline characteristics and laboratory values were determined.

Materials And Methods: In total, 3,032 patients participating in the Sleep and Food Registry in Kanagawa study were evaluated. Their diets were assessed for macronutrient content through a brief self-administered dietary history questionnaire.
Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of accumulation images obtained by arterial-phase contrast-enhanced harmonic grayscale ultrasonography for examining tumor vessels in focal nodular hyperplasia and other hepatic lesions.
Methods: After injecting a galactose-palmitic acid contrast agent, we used conventional contrast-enhanced harmonic grayscale ultrasonography to scan 8 focal nodular hyperplasia lesions, 21 hepatocellular carcinomas, 2 cholangiocellular carcinomas, 12 hepatic metastases, 17 hemangiomas, and 2 angiomyolipomas. We then accumulated and superimposed consecutive conventional images (accumulation images) and compared them with corresponding conventional images to evaluate serial images of hepatic tumor vessels.
Aim: To prospectively evaluate the usefulness of a pattern-based classification of contrast-enhanced sonographic findings for differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors.
Methods: We evaluated the enhancement pattern of the contrast-enhanced sonography images in 586 patients with 586 hepatic lesions, consisting of 383 hepatocellular carcinomas, 89 metastases, and 114 hemangiomas. After injecting a galactose-palmitic acid contrast agent, lesions were scanned by contrast-enhanced harmonic gray-scale sonography in three phases: arterial, portal, and late.
Purpose: To assess the accuracy of pattern-based classification of contrast material-enhanced wideband harmonic gray-scale ultrasonographic (US) images in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors.
Materials And Methods: A total of 183 hepatic lesions in 183 patients were studied; lesions included 116 hepatocellular carcinomas, 42 liver metastases, and 25 liver hemangiomas. After injection of a galactose-palmitic acid contrast agent, lesions were scanned with contrast-enhanced wideband harmonic gray-scale US in the arterial, portal venous, and late venous phases.
Objective: The newly developed contrast-enhanced harmonic gray-scale sonography technique enables us to improve the real-time detectability of viable tumor tissue in hepatocellular carcinoma lesions. We evaluated the usefulness of real-time percutaneous ablation therapy under guidance with this method for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma that is not depicted on conventional sonography.
Subjects And Methods: We examined 30 patients with 56 hepatocellular carcinomas using real-time contrast-enhanced harmonic gray-scale sonography after injection of a galactose-palmitic acid contrast agent and compared the results with the findings of contrast-enhanced helical CT.
