Comparison of "Semiocclusive Dressing" Treatment Using Plastic Wrap or Low-Adherent Absorbent Wound Dressings Versus Occlusive Dressing Treatment for Stage III/IV Pressure Injuries in the Inflammatory Phase: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Minamikusatsu Keyaki Clinic, Kusatsu, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- A randomized controlled trial compared the effectiveness of semiocclusive dressing (SOD) using plastic wrap and low-adherent dressings versus occlusive dressing (OD) for treating stage III/IV pressure injuries in 77 participants.
- Results showed that the SOD group had a greater reduction in wound surface area and better BWAT score improvements after 12 weeks than the OD group, with statistical significance.
- SOD treatment was also significantly less costly, being 3 times cheaper than OD treatment, while showing a comparable incidence of adverse events.
Ten-Year Clinical Outcomes of Endoscope-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgical Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis with Degenerative Spondylolisthesis and Comparison with Conservative Treatment.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan.
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the 10-year clinical outcomes of endoscope-assisted, minimally invasive surgical (MIS) decompression for lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) with lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) and to compare the radiographic changes in patients who underwent this procedure with those who underwent conservative therapy at 10-year follow-up.
Methods: Between April 2007 and April 2010, 347 consecutive patients with DS and evidence of LSS underwent conservative treatment first from 2 to 4 weeks. The 114 patients who failed conservative treatment were then treated surgically by endoscope-assisted MIS decompression.
Determination of the reference range for semi-quantified elasticity of healthy supraspinatus muscles using real-time tissue elastography and its clinical use in patients after rotator cuff repair.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hachioji Sports Clinic, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: The quantitative assessment of healthy supraspinatus muscle elasticity may provide clinically useful preliminary information after rotator cuff repairs. We aimed to determine the reference range for supraspinatus muscle semi-quantified elasticity and describe how it can be used clinically after rotator cuff repair.
Methods: The elasticity of healthy bilateral supraspinatus muscles in 43 participants aged between 24 and 75 years (categorized into two subgroups: <50 and ≥ 50 years) was measured as a strain ratio at 0° and 60° of shoulder abduction using real-time tissue elastography.
Cytopenia associated with copper deficiency.

Division of Hematology, Department of Internal Medicine Aichi Medical University School of Medicine Nagakute Japan.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated cases of copper deficiency leading to low serum copper levels and cytopenia in adult patients at a hospital from March 2014 to March 2021.
- - Of the 15 patients diagnosed, 73% had bicytopenia while 27% had pancytopenia, and 60% underwent bone marrow examinations, revealing specific morphologic changes linked to copper deficiency.
- - Treatment with copper supplements led to improvements, as 73% of treated patients achieved normal copper levels and 53% showed hematological recovery, highlighting the need to consider copper deficiency in unexplained cytopenia cases.
