AI Article Synopsis
- Recent global reports highlight how tsunamis can be intensified by submarine landslides caused by earthquakes, yet detailed data on these events is limited.
- The Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan on January 1, 2024, resulted in a unique nonseismic tsunami, prompting an analysis of various data sources to understand its characteristics.
- The study found that five submarine landslides, occurring shortly after the earthquake, increased the tsunami height by about 30% along Toyama Bay compared to the seismic tsunami from the fault rupture alone.
Article Abstract
In recent years, there have been worldwide reports of massive tsunamis, drawing attention to how tsunamis are intensified by submarine landslides triggered by earthquakes. However, precise data on tsunamis caused by submarine landslides are scarce, leading to insufficient information for a thorough discussion of the characteristics of such tsunamis. On the other hand, during the Noto Peninsula earthquake (M7.5) that occurred in Japan on January 1, 2024, a nonseismic tsunami distinct from those originating from fault ruptures were observed. To investigate its characteristics, we analyzed tide/wave gauge records, video footage, and tsunami trace heights along the coast of Toyama Bay. Furthermore, we validated scenarios capable of reproducing the observed records using an integrated landslide-tsunami model. It was found that assuming the existence of 5 submarine landslides along the underwater canyons of Toyama Bay enabled the precise explanation of multiple types of data. Additionally, our study revealed that submarine landslides occurred approximately 50 s after the earthquake, coinciding with the peak ground shaking in Toyama Bay. Compared to the seismic tsunami originating solely from the Noto Peninsula offshore fault rupture, the subsequent tsunami triggered by submarine landslides amplified the tsunami height by approximately 30% along Toyama Bay.

Incidence and Prognosis of Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Bicuspid Aortic Stenosis.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Evidence regarding the incidence of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) and long-term mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis (AS) is scarce.
Objectives: This study sought to assess the incidence and prognostic impact of PPM after TAVR for bicuspid AS compared with that for tricuspid AS.
Methods: In total, 7,393 patients who underwent TAVR were prospectively enrolled in the OCEAN-TAVI (Optimized Catheter Valvular Intervention Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) registry, an ongoing Japanese, multicenter registry.
Assessing the role of selenium in Minamata disease through reanalysis of historical samples.
Environ Int
December 2024
National Institute for Minamata Disease, Minamata, Kumamoto 867-0008, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Minamata disease is a severe neurological disorder caused by methylmercury (MeHg) poisoning, identified in Japan in 1956, and previously thought to be linked to elevated selenium (Se) levels in patients.
- Research showed both mercury and selenium were present in historical samples from Minamata Bay, indicating that Se also contaminated the area and accumulated in patients' organs.
- The study's findings, including high Hg/Se molar ratios in brain tissue, help explain the neurological damage seen in patients and emphasize the dangers of consuming MeHg-contaminated seafood.
Update on Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Asian Patients.
JACC Asia
November 2024
Department of Cardiology, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is of greater concern in Asians, considering their relatively smaller annular sizes compared with Westerners. However, the prognostic significance of PPM in Asian populations has not been demonstrated.
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the prognostic value of PPM after TAVR in Asian patients.
Valve Performance Between Latest-Generation Balloon-Expandable and Self-Expandable Transcatheter Heart Valves in a Small Aortic Annulus.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv
November 2024
Division of Cardiology, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the hemodynamic performance and clinical outcomes of self-expandable valves (SEV) and balloon-expandable valves (BEV) in patients with small aortic annulus (SAA) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
- - Results showed that SEV offered better hemodynamics, with a higher rate of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch and a greater mean pressure gradient in patients receiving BEV, while BEV had lower incidences of paravalvular leakage and new permanent pacemaker implantation.
- - Overall, both valve types had similar device success rates, indicating that SEV is superior in hemodynamic outcomes but BEV has advantages in reducing certain complications. *
Association Between Direct Oral Anticoagulant Score and Bleeding Events in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study.
J Am Heart Assoc

Department of Cardiology Keio University School of Medicine Tokyo Japan.
Background: The Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) Score can predict bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation taking DOACs; however, it lacks external validation. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the association between the DOAC Score and bleeding events in patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Methods And Results: This retrospective multicenter cohort study included patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement, as registered in a Japanese multicenter registry.
