Angiographic, Cerebral Hemodynamic, and Cognitive Outcomes of Indirect Revascularization Surgery Alone for Adult Patients With Misery Perfusion due to Ischemic Moyamoya Disease.

Background: Revascularization surgery for adult patients with ischemic moyamoya disease (MMD) may improve both cognitive function and cerebral perfusion.

Objective: To determine angiographic, cerebral hemodynamic, and cognitive outcomes of indirect revascularization surgery alone for adult patients with misery perfusion due to ischemic MMD (IDR group) and to test the superiority of indirect revascularization surgery for cognitive improvement by conducting comparisons with historical control patients who had undergone direct revascularization surgery (DR group) through prospective cohort study with historical controls.

Methods: Twenty adult patients with cerebral misery perfusion underwent encephalo-duro-myo-arterio-pericranial-synangiosis alone.

Carotid computed tomography angiography after cobalt-based alloy carotid artery stenting using ultra-high-resolution computed tomography with model-based iterative reconstruction.

In conventional carotid computed tomographic angiography, the artifacts of the stent vary depending on the structure and characteristics of the alloy type. Cobalt-based alloy stents have been reported to exhibit high artifacts, and accurate evaluation of the internal lumen can be difficult. Recently, ultra-high-resolution computed tomography scanner systems have become available for clinical practice.

A Japanese traditional medicine Hochuekkito promotes negative conversion of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are prominent causes of nosocomial infections. Japanese traditional (Kampo) medicine promotes intestinal immunity and protects against bacterial infections. We assessed potential differences in the clinical course of VRE-positive patients, based on their characteristics and treatment with Kampo medicines.

[Safety and Efficacy of Keishi-Bukuryo-Gan in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage during the Acute Period:CT Image-Based Analysis of the Clearance of Hematoma].

Background: Keishi-Bukuryo-Gan(KBG)is a traditional Japanese(Kampo)formula used to improve microcirculation and a congestive condition called "Oketsu". KBG is also used to prevent the development of atherosclerosis. Many patients with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)have comorbid diseases related to atherosclerosis;thus, KBG may be a treatment option for ICH.

[A Case of Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis with Symptomatic Venous Congestion due to Sinus Stenosis].

We report a patient with hypertrophic pachymeningitis and symptomatic stenosis of the superior sagittal sinus. A 71-year-old man presented with right hemiparesis, sensory-dominant aphasia, and right hemispatial neglect that had been worsening over 2 weeks. Computed tomography showed isodense crescent-shaped lesions deforming the surface of the left cerebral hemisphere, mimicking a subdural hematoma with atypical perifocal edema in the left parietal lobe.

Diarylprolinol in an asymmetric aldol reaction of an α-alkyl-α-oxo aldehyde as an electrophile.

The direct aldol reaction of an α-alkyl-α-oxo aldehyde was catalyzed by trifluoromethyl-substituted diarylprolinol 1 to afford a γ-oxo-β-hydroxy-α-substituted aldehyde in good yield with excellent anti-selectivity and excellent enantioselectivity.

Factors impacting on psychological distress and recovery after the 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake, Japan: community-based study.

Aim: This study was undertaken 5 months after the 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake in Japan to assess factors that impacted on psychological distress and its recovery.

Methods: Three thousand and twenty-six adult victims who lived in temporary shelter and in seriously damaged areas were evaluated by questionnaire. The questionnaire queried subject profile, degree of house damage, health status, and psychological distress using a 5-point scale before, immediately and 5 months after the earthquake.

Development of an implantable oxygenator with cross-flow pump.

Thrombogenicity, a problem with long-term artificial lungs, is caused by blood-biomaterial interactions and is made worse by nonuniform flow, which also causes decreased gas exchange. To overcome these obstacles, we changed the inlet and added a uniform flow pump to our previous oxygenator design. Conventional membrane oxygenators have a (1/2)-inch port for the inlet of blood.

Central nervous system malignant lymphoma associated with Behcet's disease. Case report.

A 75-year-old woman presented with intracranial B-cell lymphoma associated with Behcet's disease manifesting as headache and dizziness. She had been treated with prednisolone for 17 years, and colchicine for 4 years under a diagnosis of incomplete Behcet's disease. Computed tomography revealed a 4-cm high density mass surrounded with diffuse edema in the right frontal lobe.

[Sudden cardiac death during exercise in the elder persons].

Sudden cardiac death during exercise is consequent on the myocardial infarction which is caused by acute coronary occlusion, triggered by the rupture of unstable plaque due to temporary exercise hypertension in the hyper-coagulable conditions induced by dehydration and increased sympathetic activity. Fortunately, most cases were witnessed by audience and could be saved the life with AED. The elder persons should have medical checks in which the coronary risk factors are evaluated before aerobic exercise.

Ampulla (takotsubo) cardiomyopathy associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage worsening in the late phase of vasospasm--case report.

A 66-year-old woman presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) caused by a ruptured aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery. Electrocardiography (ECG) disclosed abnormalities resembling acute myocardial infarction. She underwent neck clipping of the aneurysm uneventfully.
