Department of Breast Surgery, Hiroshima Kosei Hospital, Hiroshima 734-0024, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the barriers to regular breast cancer screening among working women in Japan, focusing on those aged 40-60.
- Surveys revealed that factors like part-time employment, lack of children, and an unsupportive workplace contributed to the reluctance to participate in screenings.
- The conclusion emphasizes the need for better education about breast cancer to raise awareness and support screening without inducing excessive fear.
Deep sedation predicts pressure injury in patients admitted to intensive care units.

Article Synopsis
- Patients in intensive care units (ICU) often receive sedatives, which may be linked to an increased risk of pressure injuries (PI), but the optimal sedation level to prevent these injuries is not well-established.
- This study analyzed medical records of 104 ICU patients to examine how varying sedation levels relate to the occurrence of PI, finding that deeper sedation predicted a higher incidence of PI.
- The findings suggest that monitoring sedation fluctuations with the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (S-RASS) can help healthcare providers prevent sedative-related pressure injuries in ICU patients.*
Background: For patients with breast cancer treated with certain chemotherapy regimens, taste disorders associated with those regimens can negatively affect quality of life.
Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of taste disorder-related education on meal satisfaction and sense of taste in Japanese women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: A sample of 53 newly diagnosed women with breast cancer scheduled for chemotherapy treatment were randomly assigned to the control or intervention (nurse-provided education about chemotherapy-associated taste disorders) group.
Proper training in laparoscopic hernia repair is necessary to minimize the rising recurrence rate in Japan.
Asian J Endosc Surg

Medtronic, Tokyo, Japan.
Introduction: The Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery reported that the recurrence rate for inguinal hernia repair in Japan was less than 1% in 2010. However, its 2012 survey found that the recurrence rate had increased to 4% for the transabdominal preperitoneal procedure and 5% for the totally extraperitoneal procedure. We held 14 hernia repair training courses from 2011 to 2016 with help from Covidien.

Department of Neurology, Hiroshima Kosei Hospital, Hiroshima, Japan.
We report a familial case of hereditary ceruloplasmin deficiency (HCD) showing an A-G transition in intron 6 of the ceruloplasmin gene. Clinical features consisted of chorea, cerebellar ataxia, dementia, diabetes mellitus, retinal pigmentation and iron deposition in the liver and brain without copper overload in those organs. The patient's children and siblings had similar laboratory results, but did not show any neurological abnormalities.
