Small-bowel feces sign is useful to detect the corresponding site of stenosis or obstruction in patients with moderate and high degrees of small-bowel obstruction. The CT findings of kitchen sponge are very similar to small-bowel feces sign. With careful image interpretation, it is possible to judge whether the cause of obstruction is sponge.

Purpose: To assess the safety and effectiveness of the single-layered inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique for treating chronic, large, or highly myopic macular holes (MHs).
Methods: The medical records of 20 eyes of 20 consecutive Japanese patients with large MHs (=6) (minimal diameter, >400 m), chronic MHs (=2) (symptom duration, >24 months), MHs in high myopia (=11) (axial length, >26 mm), and MHs in a patient unable to maintain prone positioning postoperatively (=1) were reviewed retrospectively. All patients underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and the temporal inverted ILM flap technique.

Aim: Rescue therapy for patients with genotype 2 (GT2) chronic hepatitis C who failed prior sofosbuvir (SOF) plus ribavirin (RBV) awaits establishment. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of the fixed-dose combination of glecaprevir (300 mg)/pibrentasvir (120 mg) (GLE/PIB) for patients with GT2 chronic hepatitis C.
Methods: In this nationwide observational study undertaken by the Japanese Red Cross Liver Study Group, 28 GT2 patients with prior failure of SOF + RBV were retreated with GLE/PIB for 12 weeks.

Aim: The present study aimed to determine the real-world efficacy and safety of the non-structural protein (NS)5A inhibitor elbasvir (EBR) combined with the NS3/4A protease inhibitor grazoprevir (GZR) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 (GT1) infection.
Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated the rate of sustained virologic response at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) and the safety of EBR/GZR treatment in 159 men and 194 women with a median age of 72 years, and it assessed factors associated with the SVR12 rate. The attending physicians were responsible for selecting candidate patients for EBR/GZR in this retrospective study.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of fragility fracture. However, whether diabetes-related osteoporosis independently contributes to the deterioration of activities of daily living (ADLs) and quality of life (QOL) is unclear. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between osteoporosis, ADLs, and QOL in 309 patients with T2DM.

Objective: An aberrant production of inflammatory cytokines, with resultant febrile response, is a cardinal finding of hemophagocytic syndrome. A role of inflammatory cytokines on phagocytosis and clearance of apoptotic cells or particles has been shown, but effects of cytokines or hyperthermia on phagocytosis of viable blood cells were not fully understood. We examined effects of cytokines and hyperthermia on phagocytosis, and externalization of phosphatidylserine on the surface of phagocytosed blood cells, to clarify the pathophysiology of hemophagocytic syndrome.

A study was performed to investigate whether expression of aquaporin (AQP) 3 and 5 has potential as a marker for distinguishing dry mouth from Sjögren's syndrome. Twenty-five patients underwent labial minor salivary gland biopsy (dry mouth, n = 9; Sjögren's syndrome, n = 16; control, n = 8). All patients were interviewed about their medical history and subjective oral symptoms, and intraoral examinations were conducted.

Background: Currently, there is no consensus regarding which patients with high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) would benefit the most by radical prostatectomy (RP). We aimed to identify patients with high-risk PCa who are treatable by RP alone.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data on 315 patients with D'Amico high-risk PCa who were treated using RP without neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy at the institutions of the Yamaguchi Uro-Oncology Group between 2009 and 2013.

Background: Although antithrombotic agents are widely used for cardiac and cerebrovascular disease prevention, they increase the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.
Objective: To examine GI bleeding risk in association with an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) biopsy performed in patients without cessation of antithrombotic therapy.
Methods: This study was prospectively conducted at 14 centers.

A 25-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 1, had a normal transvaginal delivery and breastfeeding had been discontinued more than a year after delivery. Thereafter, spontaneous menstruation did not restart and she underwent hormonal therapy.

Atherosclerotic stenosis of major intracranial arteries is a leading cause of ischemic stroke in Asia. However, the long-term prognosis of asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) in healthy volunteers has not been fully examined. Here, we conducted a longitudinal study to examine the prognosis of healthy volunteers with asymptomatic ICAS and to determine the risk factors for ICAS, including asymptomatic brain parenchymal lesions.

Background: The standard of care for treatment of localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is radical cystectomy (RC). The patient's condition may affect management of MIBC, especially for elderly patients with more comorbid conditions and lower performance status. We retrospectively evaluated the association between clinicopathological data and outcomes for patients with bladder cancer (BCa) treated by RC.

Although all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a standard and effective drug used for differentiation therapy in acute promyelocytic leukemia, ATRA-resistant leukemia cells ultimately emerge during this treatment. Therefore, the development of new drugs or effective combination therapy is urgently needed. We demonstrate that the combined treatment of vitamin K2 and cotylenin A synergistically induced monocytic differentiation in HL-60 cells.

An 62-year-old man presented visual impairment and generalized seizure. Brain CT performed on the day of admission showed thrombus in the right transverse sinus, and DWI showed high intensity areas in the bilateral occipital and parietal lobes. According to bilateral occipital lobe lesions, we considered his visual impairment as cortical blindness.

Although laparoscopic surgery now replaces many gynecologic laparotomy procedures, serious complications unique to laparoscopy may occur, including vascular or bowel injury. In most cases of bowel injury during laparoscopy, the laparoscopic instruments that cause injury are the trocar, Veress needle, grasping forceps or scissors, electrocoagulator, or laser. We report a rare case of small bowel perforation after a thermal burn caused by contact with the end of the scope during laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy.

A 56-year-old man treated with anticoagulants complained of a gradually worsening headache. A left chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) was shown by head computed tomographic (CT) scans and the operation, one burr hole surgery under local anesthesia, itself was performed uneventfully. However, immediately after we began draining the hematoma at the patient's bedside, the patient complained of a sudden headache.
