Objective: To determine the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with ipragliflozin in elderly Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Research Design And Methods: We report interim results of a postmarketing surveillance survey. Japanese physicians recorded ADRs in elderly patients (≥ 65 years old) who were first prescribed with ipragliflozin within 3 months of its launch (April 2014).
Main Outcome Measures: Incidence of ADRs within 1 year of starting treatment with ipragliflozin.
Results: 898 ADRs occurred in 721/7,170 patients (10.06%). Skin complication-, volume depletion-, genital infection-, polyuria/pollakiuria-, urinary tract infection-, and hypoglycemia-related ADRs occurred in 2.23%, 1.90%, 1.45%, 1.32%, 0.77%, and 0.32%, respectively. ADRs were classified as serious in 44 (0.61%) patients. Half of the ADRs occurred within 30 days of starting treatment. There were no cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. Most (92.1%) of the ADRs resolved or improved. Glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, body weight, and systolic blood pressure decreased by 0.6% (baseline 7.8%), 22.7 mg/dL (baseline 163.0 mg/dL), 2.3 kg (baseline 67.4 kg), and 3.1 mmHg (baseline 133.2 mmHg), respectively, from baseline to treatment discontinuation/last visit.
Conclusions: Ipragliflozin is well tolerated and reduced surrogate endpoints in elderly Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02297620.

Coping strategies and correlations with depressive symptoms among female nurses working in Japanese general hospitals.
Front Public Health
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, Nihon University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Introduction: Preventing depression among nurses is a critical issue from the perspective of occupational welfare, but associations between depressive symptoms in nurses and stress-coping strategies remain unclear.
Methods: In the present study, an epidemiological study was conducted based on a cross-sectional questionnaire survey. Data obtained from 2,534 female nurses working at three general hospitals in Tokyo, Japan, were analyzed.
Objectives: To determine the health utility values (HUVs) of overactive bladder (OAB), defined as urinary urgency, usually accompanied by urinary daytime or nocturnal frequency, with or without urinary incontinence, among adults aged ≥65 years and to assess the HUV decrements (disutilities) of OAB according to its severity.
Methods: This cross-sectional Internet-based study was conducted between 2 and 9 November 2023, with quota sampling with equal probability for each sex and age group (age 65-74 years and ≥75 years). OAB was defined as an urgency score of ≥2 points and a total score of ≥3 points based on the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score.
Effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on weight loss and metabolic improvement in subjects aged 65 years or older: a subanalysis of J-SMART study.

Center of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism, Toho University Sakura Medical Center, Sakura, Chiba Japan.
Aim: To investigate the effect of weight loss and metabolic improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in older adults aged 65 years or over compared with younger adults in a retrospective analysis.
Methods: The J-SMART study database of 322 Japanese individuals with body mass index (BMI) ≥32 kg/m who underwent LSG between 2011 and 2014 at 10 centers accredited by the Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity were analyzed. The subjects were classified into two groups: ≥65 age group (range, 65-76 years; n = 25) and <65 age group (range, 22-64 years; n = 297).

Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, 7-5-2 Kusunoki-Cho, Chuo-Ku, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0017 Japan.
Objective: To examine the validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) against an objective method for assessing physical activity (PA) in Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 126 adults with T1D (aged 20-74 years). The participants wore a triaxial accelerometer for 7 consecutive days and completed the IPAQ-SF (a recall survey for the last 7 days) on the day following the 7-day accelerometer period.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative cervical intervertebral foramen width and area and the persistence of postoperative pain in patients diagnosed with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR).
Methods: Patients were divided into two groups, based on their pain relief at the 6-month postoperative follow-up: the pain relief group and the persistent pain group. We compared various parameters, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), duration of symptoms, preoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, Neck Disability Index (NDI) score, postoperative ratio of disc space distraction, preoperative width of the intervertebral foramen (WIVF), and area of the intervertebral foramen (AIVF) between the two groups.
