The integrative Japanese Genome Variation Database (iJGVD; http://ijgvd.megabank.tohoku.ac.jp/) provides genomic variation data detected by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of Japanese individuals. Specifically, the database contains variants detected by WGS of 1,070 individuals who participated in a genome cohort study of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project. In the first release, iJGVD includes >4,300,000 autosomal single nucleotide variants (SNVs) whose minor allele frequencies are >5.0%.

Phosphorus (P) availability in soils is often constrained by its accumulation in non-labile phosphorus (NLP) forms, limiting its accessibility to plants. This study examines how soil physical properties, chemical characteristics, and climatic conditions influence phosphorus fractionation and the transformation of NLP into plant-available labile phosphorus (LP). Utilizing global structural equation modeling (SEM), we found that silt content enhances organic phosphorus fractions, including NaHCO-Po and NaOH-Po.

Introduction of Vector-Borne Infections in Europe: Emerging and Re-Emerging Viral Pathogens with Potential Impact on One Health.

Pathogens

January 2025

Department of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Unit of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, University of Brescia, ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia, 25123 Brescia, Italy.

The rise and resurgence of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in Europe pose an expanding public health challenge, exacerbated by climate change, globalization, and ecological disruptions. Both arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) transmitted by ticks such as Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and arboviruses transmitted by mosquitoes like dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and Japanese encephalitis have broadened their distribution due to rising temperatures, changes in rainfall, and increased human mobility. By emphasizing the importance of interconnected human, animal, and environmental health, integrated One Health strategies are crucial in addressing this complex issue.

Unlabelled: Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in regions with endemic Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) infections.

Background/objectives: The aim of this review is to consider the potential role of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve detection, monitoring and public health interventions for JE.

Discussion: As climate change continues to impact mosquito population growth patterns, more regions will be affected by mosquito-borne diseases, including JE.

Background: Notwithstanding progress in conventional medicine (CM), the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) continues to be problematic due to factors such as limited patient response to treatment and restricted medication access. This study aimed to evaluate the extent to which East Asian herbal medicine with CM combination therapy (EACM) provides additional benefits in effectiveness and safety.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search across 11 databases in English, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese for randomized controlled trials.

The accessory navicular (AN) is an accessory bone located on the posteromedial aspect of the navicular tuberosity that can cause pain following overuse or trauma, particularly during childhood. However, the detailed epidemiological characteristics of AN in children have not been well studied. This study aimed to clarify the prevalence of AN and painful AN among Japanese children by examining the characteristics according to sex and age.
