Anticoagulant therapy, particularly the use of direct oral anticoagulant agents (DOACs), is recommended for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This multicenter observational retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of DOACs compared to warfarin in Japanese patients aged 75 years and older with NVAF. Data from the Mie-Life Innovation Promotion Center Database were used to collect medical information on the patients.

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the infiltration of lymphocytes on salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in their dysfunction. Patients suffering from severe pSS have an increased risk of developing multi-organ dysfunction syndrome due to the development of systemic inflammatory response, which results in immune cell-driven injury of the lungs, kidneys, liver, and brain. Therapeutic agents that are used for the treatment of severe pSS encounter various limitations and challenges that can impact their effectiveness.

Recent findings suggest that combining mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and preoperative oral antibiotics (OAs) decreases the risk of incisional surgical site infections (iSSIs) in colorectal surgery; however, this finding remains controversial. This study examined the efficacy of OAs and MBP in colorectal surgery using propensity score matching (PSM). : Between January 2015 and December 2020, 559 patients with colorectal tumors underwent MBP followed by colorectal surgery.

The role of occult nodal metastases in patients with parotid gland cancers remains unclear; such metastases are histologically diverse and exhibit unpredictable clinical courses. Here, we evaluated the prognostic utilities of such metastases, including metastases in the intraparenchymal lymph nodes (PARs). We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of patients who underwent surgery to treat clinically N0 primary parotid gland cancers from 2000 to 2022.

Currently, there is a lack of standardized diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), making it a subject of ongoing debate. The optimal diagnostic method and screening strategy for GDM remain contentious. In this review, we summarize the criteria and methods for diagnosing GDM, and perform a comparison between universal and selective screening strategies.
