A married couple of a 62-year-old woman and a 64-year-old man as well as their neighbor, an 84-year-old woman, visited the hospital complaining of a burning sensation on their hands and feet that had presented on the same day. They had consumed mushrooms that had been picked on a mountain five days before the onset of the symptoms. The symptoms were attributed to Paralepistopsis acromelalga. In conclusion, asking about the dietary history is considered essential when diagnosing the cause of erythromelalgia, which has multiple causative diseases, including food poisoning due to P. acromelalga.Objectives　To examine the effects of a multifactorial intervention for improving frailty-comprising resistance exercise and nutritional and psychosocial programs-on the risk of long-term care insurance (LTCI) certification, death, and long-term care (LTC) cost among community-dwelling older adults.Methods　Seventy-seven individuals (47 in 2011 and 30 in 2013) from the Hatoyama Cohort Study (742 individuals) participated in a multifactorial intervention. Non-participants were from the same cohort (including people who were invited to participate in the multifactorial intervention but declined). We performed propensity score matching with a ratio of 1 2 (intervention group vs. non-participant group). Afterward, 70 individuals undergoing the multifactorial intervention and 140 non-participants were selected. The risk of LTCI certification and/or death and the mean LTC cost during the follow-up period (32 months) were compared using the Cox proportional hazards model and generalized linear model (gamma regressionitional, and psychosocial programs is effective in lowering the incidence of LTCI certification, consequently saving LTC cost, although the results were not statistically significant. Further research with a stricter study design is needed.Objectives　Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common childhood disease with an increasing prevalence, affecting the quality of life of afflicted children. The onset of AD at an early age may disrupt normal sleep patterns, behavior, and relationships. Increased behavioral and discipline problems associated with AD have been documented. However, there are insufficient studies on AD at early ages, especially in Japan. This study aimed to examine the association between AD and the mental and behavioral health of children of preschool age.Methods　This study was a part of a prospective cohort study (n=20,926), and children born after April 2008 (n=7,386) were the target population of this study. Those who answered the Japanese version of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) at 4 years of age (n=4,228) and answered the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) at 5 years of age were included in this study (n=3,862). The subscale scores of SDQ, namely, emotional symptoms, conduct problemsd children's mental and behavioral problems at older ages are essential.Objectives　This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a walking point project with incentives for increasing walking time, preventing the decline of physical function and worsening depression among older adults.Methods　We used data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study, which included subjects aged ≥65 years who lived in Yokohama City in 2013 and 2016. We obtained information on the subjects' participation in the "Yokohama Walking Point (YWP)," a program launched by Yokohama City in 2014, from the 2016 survey data. We excluded individuals with missing data for sex, age, walking time per day ( less then 30, 30-59, 60-89, or ≥90 min/day), physical function (5 physical function category items on the Kihon Checklist), depression (15-item Geriatric Depression Scale), and participation status in the YWP. We used data from 4,509 eligible respondents. Changes in walking time, physical function, and depression were designated as independent variables, and participation status in the YWP was designated as the dependent variable in the multiple regression analysis with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), after adjusting for demographic variables, socioeconomic status, health status, and behavior.Results　Among the total subjects, 758 (16.8%) participated in the YWP. The IPTW method showed that participants in the YWP had significantly higher walking times (B=3.61, 95% CI 1.04, 6.17), less decline in physical function, and less depression (B=-0.13, 95% CI -0.23, -0.03; B=-0.21, 95% CI -0.42, -0.01) than those who did not participate in the YWP.Conclusions　Our findings suggest that the YWP, with incentives, effectively increased walking time and prevented worsening of physical function and depression among older adults. The municipality's health point project, based on the number of steps, is a useful population approach for promoting health among older adults.Objective　Several studies have suggested that high dietary Na/K ratio and body mass index (BMI) increase the prevalence of hypertension. However, there have been a few reports on the combination of these two factors and their relationship with hypertension. This study aimed to examine the association of the combined estimated 24-h urinary Na/K ratio (24h-u-Na/K) (high or low) and BMI (high or low) with the risk of high blood pressure.Method　We performed a cross-sectional study involving 1,112 participants (340 men and 772 women) of the Kobe Orthopedic and Biomedical Epidemiological study (KOBE study) who had no cardiovascular diseases or current anti-hypertensive medications. Sex-specific analyses were performed. The 24h-u-Na/K ratio was calculated from an estimation formula using collected spot urine. Participants were divided into four groups based on their 24h-u-Na/K ratio (low or high) and BMI (low or high), with the cutoff points being the median and 25 kg/m2, respectively.　Participants with systolic blolow BMI but high 24h-u-Na/K also demonstrated a higher risk for high blood pressure (OR 1.62; 95% CI 1.10-2.40).Conclusion　The risk of high blood pressure was the highest when both BMI and 24h-u-Na/K were high. The current specific healthcare guidance in Japan is focused on obese individuals. However, in order to prevent hypertension more effectively, additional focus should be placed on the Na/K diet. Increased intake of vegetables and fruits and reduced intake of salt should be strongly recommended.Objective　This study aimed to develop an event scale for perceiving well-being in high school students (hereinafter called "the scale"). The scale includes ten items for one factor and measures the frequency with which students perceive experience-based well-being.Method　This study comprised two surveys. Survey I was conducted for constructive concept validity based on the factor structural model, reliability for internal consistency, and clarifying each item's performance. The survey contents comprised the event frequency of perceived well-being. The constructive concept validity of the scale was examined with confirmatory factor analysis by structural equation modeling using data of 1,095 students. The reliability was tested using McDonald ω reliability coefficients for internal consistency. Each item's performance was examined using the item response theory.　Survey II was conducted to examine constructive concept validity using hypotheses testing. The survey contents were as follows event frequency of perc=0.060; thus, the values were acceptable. Model fit for data where event frequency of perceived well-being influences mood was CFI=0.952, RMSEA=0.057; thus, values were acceptable.Conclusion　The scale developed in this study supported the following constructive concept validity based on the factor structural model, reliability with each item performance tested for internal consistency, and constructive concept validity using hypotheses testing. We believe that the scale will be helpful in developing support methods that enhance high school students' subjective sense of well-being.The purpose of this literature review was to verify the laboratory efficiency of additive manufacturing (AM) systems for removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks. All available relevant articles in English published from 1990 to 2020 were found by searching online databases and by hand research. A total of 17 articles dealt with the surface roughness, fitness accuracy, and retentive forces of AM frameworks. The surface roughness of AM was inferior to that of casting and milling. Whether conventional cast or AM RPD frameworks had superior fitness accuracy could not be clarified. As compared with casting and AM, milling enabled the fabrication of RPD clasps with comparable or better fitness accuracy. Over time, AM clasps had retentive force values of superior consistency as compared with those of conventional cast clasps. Clasps fabricated by repeated laser sintering and high-speed milling could obtain smoother surfaces and more suitable retention than those of AM clasps.A customized micro arc oxidation (MAO) treatment technique was developed to obtain desirable antibacterial properties on titanium surfaces. The two-step MAO treatment was applied to fabricate a specimen containing both Ag and Zn in its surface oxide layer. Surface analyses and metal-ion release tests were performed to evaluate the presence of Ag and Zn and the ion release behavior for simulating practical usage, respectively. Additionally, the antibacterial properties of the specimens were also evaluated using gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacteria. The MAO-treated specimens containing both Ag and Zn showed excellent antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, and the properties were sustained even after 28 days of immersion in physiological saline to simulate the living environment.The effect of 1-week water storage and subsequent 10,000 thermal cycles on light transmission properties (straight-line transmission (G0), diffusion (DF), the amount of transmitted light (AV)), translucency parameter (TP) and refractive index (RI) of four nanofilled flowable composites was examined. The composites included Filtek Supreme Ultra Flowable Restorative (FSU), Estelite Flow Quick (EFQ), Estelite Universal Flow, (EUF), and Clearfil Majesty ES Flow (ESF), all of A3 shade. this website For composites with lower filler load (FSU, EFQ), water storage increased G0, AV and TP, but subsequent thermocycling decreased them. An opposite tendency was found for DF. Materials with higher filler load (EUF, ESF) were not significantly affected by aging conditions. RI of EFQ and EUF containing bisphenol A polyethoxy methacrylate (Bis-MPEPP) increased significantly after thermocycling. Additionally, morphological changes were observed using scanning electron microscopy which revealed cracks within nanocluster fillers and dislocation of particles in FSU and EFQ after thermocycling.The aim of this in vivo study is to describe the clinical threshold and relative factors associated with the translucency of maxillary central incisors. Bilateral maxillary central incisors were measured in 106 individuals using a digital colorimeter against black and white backings. The translucency parameters (TP) of incisors and the difference in TP (ΔTP) between the left and right maxillary central incisors of the same individual was calculated. The mean TP value of the maxillary incisors was 8.22. There was a significant effect of age on the translucency of the maxillary central incisors (p less then 0.05). The TP of females was higher than that of males (p less then 0.05). The absolute mean value of ΔTP was 1.33. The ΔTP of the two maxillary central incisors in the same individual can be used as a reference for the threshold value of translucency.
