Objective: Cognitive function decline is influenced by cardiovascular diseases and associated risk factors. However, changes in the cognitive function of patients with cardiovascular diseases during hospitalization and the factors influencing these changes remain unclear. This study elucidated the proportion and characteristics of changes in cognitive function during hospitalization in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants: Patients underwent HFA 24-2 for suspected or confirmed VF loss and were treated at the Kyoto University Hospital between December 2022 and July 2023.
This study aimed to analyze the trends and factors influencing the number of ophthalmic surgeries in Japan using the open data from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. We calculated the number of cataract, glaucoma, and vitreoretinal surgeries, categorized by sex, age, and surgical type, for the fiscal years (FY) 2014 to 2020. The number of cataract surgeries remained stable at approximately 1.

Design: A nationwide population-based cohort study.
Methods: This study investigated the number of cases with previous and new diagnoses of strabismus by age group between 2009 and 2020 using the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan, which includes almost all (≥95%) medical claims data.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the epidemiology of angioid streaks (AS) and pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) using a national health claims database in Japan, covering 126 million individuals.
- During a 10-year period (2011-2020), they identified 6,598 cases of AS and 1,020 cases of PXE, with incidence rates of 0.52 and 0.08 per 100,000 person-years, respectively.
- The findings highlight a younger mean age at death for patients with AS (79.3 years) and PXE (77.1 years) compared to the general population, stressing the need for timely diagnosis and management to prevent premature mortality.
Work measurement for estimating food preparation time of a bioregenerative diet.
Habitation (Elmsford)
January 2004
During space missions, such as the prospective Mars mission, crew labor time is a strictly limited resource. The diet for such a mission (based on crops grown in a bioregenerative life support system) will require astronauts to prepare their meals essentially from raw ingredients. Time spent on food processing and preparation is time lost for other purposes.
