Detection Rate and Radiological Features of Asymptomatic Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data of 11745 Individuals in the Japanese Brain Check-Up System.

Objective: Asymptomatic intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare disease that is often undiagnosed before symptom onset. The present study aimed to examine the detection rate and radiological features of asymptomatic intracranial DAVF using brain MRI data obtained from the Japanese brain check-up system.

Methods: We retrospectively identified 11745 individuals who underwent brain MRI between January 2010 and December 2014.

Predictors, including blood, urine, anthropometry, and nutritional indices, of all-cause mortality among institutionalized individuals with intellectual disability.

As the life expectancy of people with intellectual disability (ID) increases, it is becoming necessary to understand factors affecting survival. However, predictors that are typically assessed among healthy people have not been examined. Predictors of all-cause mortality, including blood, urine, anthropometry, and nutritional indices, were examined among institutionalized people with ID.

An epidemiological study on anemia among institutionalized people with intellectual and/or motor disability with special reference to its frequency, severity and predictors.

Background: To examine the type, frequency, severity, and predictors of anemia and its relationship with co-morbid conditions among institutionalized people with intellectual and/or motor disability.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at a public facility for people with intellectual and/or motor disability in Ibaraki prefecture, Japan. Health checkup data obtained in 2001 from 477 people with intellectual disability (male: 286, average age 40.
