Arsenic health risks and interaction with salinity in coastal areas of Bangladesh
Background: Arsenic contamination poses significant health risks to inhabitants in coastal areas. However, little is known about the health risks associated with the interaction of arsenic with salinity. This study aims to examine how the morbidities from water-related diseases (WRD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are associated with arsenic contamination under salinity with multiple water sources and uses as well as how such risks can be redu…

Additional Comments on “Testing a Culturally Adapted Colorectal Cancer Screening Decision Aid Among American Indians
To the Editor: We read the study by Frerichs et al.1 concerning a culturally sensitive colorectal cancer (CRC) screening decision aid campaign targeting American Indians (Native Americans) with great interest in light of the increase in CRC-related deaths worldwide.2 Culture is basically associated with environmental and lifestyle factors as well as health care access, all of which are related to the incidence of CRC.2 Therefore, adapting methods…

Predictors of At-Home Death for Cancer Patients in Rural Clinics in Japan
Having a clinical pathway and systematizing palliative care could be important to determine the possibility of at-home deaths for cancer patients in rural clinics in Japan

Perceptions of Residents among Rural Communities with Medical Group Practice in Japan
Elucidating the perceptions of residents regarding medical group practice (GP) among rural communities (GP-R) in Japan will be useful for establishing this system in such communities. A survey by questionnaire, as made by experts in rural health, was conducted in 2017. The self-administered questionnaire inquired about the perceptions of residents for accepting the GP-R into the community's healthcare using seven major elements of GP-R. The quest…
Age and Sex Differences in the Use of Emergency Telephone Consultation Services in Saitama, Japan
The frequency of use of emergency telephone consultation (ETC) services, which is a telephone triage system in Japan, was explored to determine age- and sex-related trends on symptoms/events among Japanese adults. Data were obtained from records of the initial year of ETC services in Saitama Prefecture (from October 2014 to September 2015). Residents who used the ETC services were divided into four age groups (20-39, 40-64, 65-74, and ≥75 years o…

SP1-10 Alcohol consumption and smoking of Mongolian adults
Introduction Alcohol consumption and smoking have being common health problems globally including Mongolia. The objective of this survey was to examine the epidemiology of alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking in the elder population of Mongolia. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried covering urban and rural areas in Mongolia and used a standardised questionnaire according to WHO STEPwise approach to surveillance manual. Results A total…
SP3-30 Characteristics of attempted suicide patients presenting to secondary and tertiary emergency rooms, Tochigi prefecture, Japan
Introduction Suicide rate has increased dramatically in Japan since 1998. It is important to reveal the characteristics of attempted suicide patients at emergency rooms (ERs) to prevent future suicides. Methods Questionnaires were sent to all 74 secondary and tertiary ERs in Tochigi prefecture. Data were collected for attempted suicide patients who presented in September 2009. Results All ERs responded to the survey. Only nine ERs had psychiatric…

The Correlation between CVR-R and Carotid Atherosclerosis in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Diabetic Neuropathy
We examined the relationship between the coefficient of variation in the R-R intervals (CVR-R) using electrocardiograms and the ultrasonic intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery, an atherosclerotic parameter, in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with diabetic neuropathy (n=47, males/females: 29/18; mean age: 62 years). In this study, the CVR-R-related indexes, including CVR-R at rest (CVR-R(rest)), CVR-R with deep breaths (CVR-R(…
The Influence of Metabolic Syndrome and Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemorheology Assessed by the Microchannel Method
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are individual risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Abnormal hemorheology may be associated with CVD in both disorders. The present study investigated the impact of MetS and CKD on hemorheology. We studied 138 adults (women/men=63/75, mean age=52.2 years), who included 87 participants with MetS and 33 with CKD. The hemorheology was assessed by the index of 'whole blood passage t…
Thermoregulatory sympathetic nervous system activity and diet‐induced waist‐circumference reduction in obese Japanese women
The present study is designed to investigate how and to what extent sympathovagal behavior in a balanced low‐calorie diet relates to favorable changes of body mass, waist circumference, and/or metabolic risk factors. The study involved 28 mildly obese women without clinical complications, who underwent an 8‐week calorie restriction program using a 1,200‐kcal daily diet with an adequate nutrient content; including two regular meals, and one formul…
