Laparoscopic Anatomical Liver Resection for the Patients With Constitutional Indocyanine Green Excretory Defect: A Case Report.
Asian J Endosc Surg
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Miyagi Cancer Center, Natori, Japan.
Constitutional indocyanine green (ICG) excretion defect (CIED) is a rare clinical condition characterized by markedly delayed ICG disappearance with other normal liver function tests. Here, we report a case of CIED in which laparoscopic anatomical liver resection was successfully performed using ICG fluorescence staining. A 64-year-old man with a 4-cm tumor located in the liver segment 5 was referred to our hospital.

Department of Pediatrics, Akita University Graduate School of Medicine, Akita-shi 010-8543, Japan.
Rotavirus vaccines carry a small risk of intussusception mainly 1-7 days after vaccination in the United States of America, Europe, Australia, and Latin America where the background rate of intussusception is relatively low. Such risks are undetectable in Africa and India where the background rate is the lowest. Because few studies were carried out in high-background-rate countries such as Japan, we examined how intussusception occurred in infants living in Akita prefecture, Japan, while the vaccines were sold in the private market.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Akita University Graduate School of Medicine, Hondo, Akita, Japan.
Optimal ligament balance is crucial for successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA), which is a standard procedure for managing end-stage knee osteoarthritis. However, the reported values of ligament balance vary due to different methodologies and population differences, which requires further studies. This study aimed to investigate the varus-valgus ligament balance in healthy knees of Japanese individuals and its relationship with lower limb alignment.

The soybean Rxp gene, encoding a bHLH transcription factor and an ACT-like domain, has an rxp allele producing a truncated protein that confers resistance to pustule-causing Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines. In soybean, bacterial pustules caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.

- The study aimed to compare two types of major depressive disorder: anxious distress (ANXD) and melancholic features (MEL), focusing on psychomotor disturbances like agitation and retardation.
- A total of 106 patients were assessed using the CORE measure, and logistic analysis showed that lower retardation scores were linked to ANXD diagnoses, while higher agitation scores were associated with both ANXD and MEL.
- The findings suggest that while ANXD and MEL can share agitation, they differ in terms of psychomotor retardation and noninteractiveness, indicating a potential overlap in how these disorders are defined.
