Spatial analysis of acoustic noise transfer function with a human-body phantom in a clinical MRI scanner.
Acta Radiol
March 2023
Department of Radiology, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, 12858Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan.
Background: The acoustic noise in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) potentially depends on the measurement position and presence of a patient inside the scanner bore.
Purpose: To analyze the spatial characteristics of the acoustic noise by using the gradient-pulse-to-acoustic-noise transfer function (GPAN-TF) with and without a human-body phantom on the examination table.
Material And Methods: Acoustic noise waveforms were acquired at 80 and 110 measurement positions with and without a phantom.
Correlation Between Bacteria Count Using a Rapid Bacterium Counting System and Changes in Wound Area on Diabetic Foot Ulcers in Indonesia: A Prospective Study.
Int J Low Extrem Wounds
May 2022
Advanced Health Care Science Research Unit, Innovative Integrated Bio-Research Core, Institute for Frontier Science Initiative, Kanazawa University, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how bacterial numbers relate to the size of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) over four weeks, involving 30 participants.
- Although biofilm formation didn't significantly impact wound area, there was a notable correlation between bacterial count and wound size changes.
- The findings suggest that tracking bacterial count could be useful in assessing wound healing progress in diabetic foot ulcers.
Clinical features and diagnostic imaging of cholangiolocellular carcinoma compared with other primary liver cancers: a surgical perspective.
Technol Cancer Res Treat
November 2021
Gastroenterologic Surgery, 12858Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan.
Background And Objectives: Although cholangiolocellular carcinoma is considered a combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma, we feel that this classification is not appropriate. Therefore, we compared the diagnostic imaging findings, surgical prognosis, and pathological features of cholangiolocellular carcinoma with those of other combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma subtypes, hepatocellular carcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma.
Methods: The study patients included 7 with classical type combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma; 8 with stem cell feature, intermediate type combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma; 13 with cholangiolocellular carcinoma; 58 with cholangiocarcinoma; and 359 with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Aortoduodenal Fistula After Endovascular Aortic Repair for an Inflammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Case Report.
Vasc Endovascular Surg
January 2021
Department of Thoracic, Cardiovascular and General Surgery, 12858Kanazawa University, Ishikawa, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- * A 70-year-old man who had an endovascular repair for a looming rupture of such an aneurysm developed an infection and a fistula four years later, along with an abscess in his left psoas muscle.
- * The patient underwent extensive surgical treatment including total graft removal, reparation of the aorta with prosthetic materials, and reconstruction of the digestive tract, and has remained infection-free for 35 months post-surgery.
Stability of Skin Microbiome at Sacral Regions of Healthy Young Adults, Ambulatory Older Adults, and Bedridden Older Patients After 2 Years.
Biol Res Nurs
January 2021
Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Institute of Medical, Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences, 12858Kanazawa University, Japan.
Objective: The sacral skin of bedridden older patients often develops a dysbiotic condition. To clarify whether the condition changes or is sustained over time, we analyzed the skin microbiome and the skin physiological functions of the sacral skin in patients who completed our 2017 study.
Methods: In 2019, we collected the microbiome on the sacral region and measured sacral skin hydration, pH, and transepidermal water loss from 7 healthy young adults, 10 ambulatory older adults, and 8 bedridden older patients, all of whom had been recruited for the 2017 study.
Skin Physiology and its Microbiome as Factors Associated with the Recurrence of Pressure Injuries.
Biol Res Nurs
January 2021
Advanced Health Care Science Research Unit, Innovative Integrated Bio-Research Core, Institute for Frontier Science Initiative, 12858Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan.
Background: Preventing recurrent pressure injuries (RPIs) is one of the important challenges faced in healthcare, but the risk factors of RPIs have not been fully revealed. This study aims to explore factors associated with RPIs, by focusing on skin physiology and its microbiome as local factors crucial for the health of healed tissue after pressure injury healing.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in a long-term care facility in Japan with patients whose PIs had healed within 1 month.
