Gender Dysphoria and Related Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Bilingual Review of the Literature.

The association between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and gender dysphoria (GD) has attracted a great deal of interest among child and adolescent psychiatrists in Japan. In clinical settings, it is common to hear complaints or concerns related to GD from adolescents with ASD. In the past few years, several review articles have been published on ASD and GD.

An optical BOD biosensor based on intracellular ATP measurements in genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A biosensor for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was developed based on intracellular 5'-adenosine triphosphate (ATP) measurements in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Intracellular ATP was measured using an engineered protein named ATeam, comprising a bacterial FF-ATP synthase ε subunit sandwiched between cyan fluorescent protein and mVenus, a modified yellow fluorescent protein. Because the binding of ATP to ATeam induces changes in the fluorescence spectra owing to Fӧrster resonance energy transfer, S.

A Case of Parasitic Leiomyoma in the Sigmoid Mesentery Following Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.

Parasitic leiomyoma (PL) develops when fragments of a morcellated uterine leiomyoma, during procedures such as laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) or total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), adhere to other tissues. We recently encountered a case where PL developed in the mesentery of the sigmoid colon following TLH. A 51-year-old woman had previously undergone TLH with in-abdominal morcellation.

Clinical Usefulness of a Short Version of the Internet Addiction Test to Screen for Probable Internet Addiction in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Internet addiction (IA) is defined as the condition of being addicted to all sorts of activities on the Internet. Individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), may be susceptible to IA. Early detection and intervention for probable IA are important to prevent severe IA.

[Three Cases of No. 16 Lymph Node Metastasis-Positive Gastric Cancer Successfully Treated with Chemotherapy and Para-Aortic Lymph Node Dissection].

Chemotherapy is standard treatment for Stage Ⅳ advanced gastric cancer(AGC)positive for No. 16 lymph node(LN) metastasis, but the significance of conversion surgery remains unclear. S-1 plus CDDP(SP), primary lesion resection+ para-aortic LN dissection(PAND), and postoperative recurrence-free survival are reported.
