Trends in the integration of medical corporation hospitals in Japan: a national wide longitudinal study between 2017 and 2021.
BMC Health Serv Res
August 2024
Graduate School of Health Management, Keio University, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Medical corporations, which are non-profit organizations that aim to operate hospitals, clinics, or long-term care facilities, account for more than half of all hospital beds and play a central role in the health care system in Japan. However, limited analysis of hospital integration has been performed. Examining the hospital integration trends of medical corporations can provide valuable insights for optimizing health care delivery and resource allocation in Japan.

Division of Breast Surgical Oncology, Showa University School of Medicine, 1-5-8 Hatanodai, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Tailored, preventive cancer care requires the identification of pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) among potentially at-risk blood relatives (BRs). Cascade testing is carried out for BRs of probands who are positive for PGVs of an inherited cancer but not for negative probands. This study was conducted to examine the prevalence of PGVs for BRs of PGV-negative probands.

March 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Ashikaga Red Cross Hospital, 284-1 Yobe-cho, Ashikaga 326-0843, Tochigi, Japan.
The anterior transpetrosal approach (ATPA) is effective for reaching petroclival lesions, and it allows for complications such as impaired venous return and neuropathy to be resolved. However, there is still room for improvement regarding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. Here, we aim to focus on describing specific preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative countermeasures for preventing CSF leakage when using the ATPA.

May 2024
Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: The association between Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation: Japanese version (PREE-J) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association-Japan Elbow Society Elbow Function score (JOA-JES score) is unclear. This study evaluated the association between PREE-J and JOA-JES scores.
Methods: The patients with elbow disorders were divided into two groups: Group A (conservative treatment, n = 97) and Group B (surgical treatment, n = 156).
Innovative design of bone quality-targeted intervertebral spacer: accelerated functional fusion guiding oriented collagen and apatite microstructure without autologous bone graft.

Division of Materials and Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, 2-1, Yamada-Oka, Suita, Osaka, 565-0871, Japan; Anisotropic Design and Additive Manufacturing Research Center, Osaka University, 2-1 Yamada-Oka, Suita, Osaka, 565-0871, Japan. Electronic address:
Background Context: Although autologous bone grafting is widely considered as an ideal source for interbody fusion, it still carries a risk of nonunion. The influence of the intervertebral device should not be overlooked. Requirements for artificial spinal devices are to join the vertebrae together and recover the original function of the spine rapidly.
