Healthcare utilization and satisfaction
Employment status, gender, and residency duration were associated with healthcare patterns among Indian immigrants in Japan. While overall satisfaction was high (75-80%), higher health literacy paradoxically correlated with greater dissatisfaction. Future research should explore interventions to improve healthcare accessibility for recent immigrants
Development of an Essential Information Set for Supporting Life With Bipolar Disorder
OBJECTIVE: Bipolar disorder is a chronic condition characterised by alternating periods of depression and heightened mood, leading to considerable disability and frequent relapses, often resulting in difficulties in maintaining a stable social life. This study aimed to develop a set of essential information through a structured consensus process with patients, family members and healthcare professionals, to support patients with bipolar disorder …
Association between occupation type and development of type 2 diabetes
Background Due to a lack of investigation on the association between the type of occupation and the development of type 2 diabetes among Japanese individuals, we aimed to assess this association in 98,935 Japanese individuals. Methods This long-term retrospective cohort study included participants selected from medical health checkup programs conducted at the Panasonic Corporation, Osaka, Japan, from 2008 to 2018. Cox regression analyses were use…
A Japanese Box Lunch Bento Comprising Functional Foods Reduce Oxidative Stress in Men
The elder population has increased, introducing the profound medical and social challenge of maintaining health in aging seniors and the need for a medical approach to sustaining physical and mental health. The relationship between diseases and lifestyle-related factors such as diet and exercise are important. A health-conscious lifestyle improves one’s health condition from a medical perspective, as indicated by new wellness monitoring using hea…
The Risk Factors for Development of Type 2 Diabetes
(1) Background: As no study has evaluated the risk factors contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes according to body weight mass (BMI) categories in a large cohort and over a long period in a Japanese population, we aimed to assess them in 46,001 Japanese individuals; (2) Methods: This long-term retrospective cohort study included individuals who participated in a medical health checkup program at Panasonic Corporation from 2008 to 201…
Effect of Covid-19 Pandemic on the Change in Skeletal Muscle Mass in Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Background : The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic restrictions on the change in muscle mass in older patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who were not infected with COVID-19. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data were obtained from outpatients who underwent bioelectrical impedance analysis at least twice before April 2020 and at least once thereafter. Skeletal muscle mass i…
Randomized Controlled Trial of Simple Salt Reduction Instructions by Physician for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Consuming Excessive Salt
Objectives : We verified the clinical usefulness of an approach method in which a physician gives simple salt reduction instructions during outpatient visits to patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods : This study was an open-blind, randomized controlled trial. Subjects were outpatients with type 2 diabetes whose estimated salt intake using spot morning urine sample exceeded the target of salt intake. The control group (CG) was notified only of th…
SRY-Positive 46, XX Testicular Disorder of Sexual Development With Leydig Cell Tumor
The risk of a gonadal tumor is high in testicular disorder of sexual development (DSD) with the Y chromosome, but cases of DSD without the Y chromosome are extremely rare. We reported a gonadal tumor in a phenotypically male individual with 46, XX testicular DSD. A testicular tumor was incidentally found in a 32-year-old phenotypic male who was presented to the hospital with male infertility. A diagnosis of 46, XX testicular DSD was made by the p…
The Diagnostic Accuracy of Testicular Torsion by Doctors on Duty Using Sonographic Evaluation with Color Doppler
As testicular torsion is a medical emergency, it requires quick diagnosis and treatment. Color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) is useful for the diagnosis of testicular torsion. An accurate diagnosis can be difficult when CDUS indicates the preservation of blood flow in the testis. We examined the accuracy of testicular torsion diagnosis in patients with acute scrotum made by doctors on duty using CDUS. The subjects included 26 patients who visited our…
Impact of Pretreatment Total Cholesterol Level Is Associated With Metastasis of Prostate Cancer
Metabolic syndrome is reported to play a role in the genesis and development not only of angina, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and osteoporosis but also of prostate cancer. Hypercholesterolemia is a strong risk factor in prostate cancer development. The current study was conducted to analyze whether pretreatment serum levels of cholesterol correlate with prostate cancer metastasis. Three hundred fifty-one subjects who received a histopathological d…
