タイトル: Estimating Health Expectancy in Japanese Communities Using Mortality Rate and Disability Prevalence著者: Hosokawa, Rikuya; Ojima, Toshiyuki; Myojin, Tomoya; Aida, Jun; Kondo, Katsunori; Kondo, Naoki抄録: INTRODUCTION: Although mortality and disability are known to be associated with health expectancy (LE), few studies have assessed the extent to which a reduction in their prevalence can extend a person's LE. Moreover, differences in this relationship based on gender have not been established. Thus, in this study, we constructed a regression model using the rate of mortality and prevalence of disability to predict LE in older adults (≥65 years) and assess the relationships between LE, mortality rate, and disability prevalence based on gender. METHODS: Data were collected from Japan's population registry and long-term insurance records (N = 344). Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between LE, mortality rate, and disability prevalence, stra ...

タイトル: Transport kinetics of protium and deuterium in titanium: Experiments and modeling著者: Yamazaki, Jun; Kobayashi, Chihiro; Nishi, Kengo; Tanabe, Katsuaki抄録: We conducted absorption experiments on Ti using hydrogen isotopes, protium and deuterium, to gain insights into the kinetics of hydrogen atoms, particularly across the Ti surface. Rather than relying on various surface pretreatments, we identified the initial temperature of Ti in vacuum as the determining factor in achieving a high absorption rate and content. Specifically, we found that the initial Ti temperatures of approximately 900 and 980 °C are optimal for protium and deuterium, respectively, likely due to sufficient removal of the native surface oxide on Ti. The dependence of the absorption rate and amount of hydrogen isotopes on the temperature during absorption was partially explained by the phase transformation and exothermicity of the hydrogenation reaction. Moreover, this dependence strongly indicate ...

タイトル: Long-term outcomes of stimulated salivary flow and xerostomia after definitive intensity-modulated radiation therapy for patients with head and neck cancer著者: Hiraoka, Shinya; Yoshimura, Michio; Nakajima, Aya; Nakashima, Ryota; Mizowaki, Takashi抄録: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the time to recovery from xerostomia and analyze its predictors, along with long-term outcomes of stimulated salivary flow after intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC). We evaluated patients with HNC who had received IMRT with curative intent between 2012 and 2018 at our institution. The salivary recovery ratio (SRR) was defined as ‘(the stimulated salivary flow)/(pre-treatment salivary flow)’. The cutoff value of SRR in salivary recovery was estimated via the relationship between SRR and xerostomia grades. The salivary recovery time was defined as the time for SRR to exceed cutoff values from the end of radiotherapy. Fifty-seven patient ...

タイトル: Dosimetric verification of four dose calculation algorithms for spine stereotactic body radiotherapy著者: Hirashima, Hideaki; Nakamura, Mitsuhiro; Nakamura, Kiyonao; Matsuo, Yukinori; Mizowaki, Takashi抄録: The applications of Type B [anisotropic analytical algorithm (AAA) and collapsed cone (CC)] and Type C [Acuros XB (AXB) and photon Monte Carlo (PMC)] dose calculation algorithms in spine stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) were evaluated. Water- and bone-equivalent phantoms were combined to evaluate the percentage depth dose and dose profile. Subsequently, 48 consecutive patients with clinical spine SBRT plans were evaluated. All treatment plans were created using AXB in Eclipse. The prescription dose was 24 Gy in two fractions at a 10 MV FFF on TrueBeam. The doses were then recalculated with AAA, CC and PMC while maintaining the AXB-calculated monitor units and beam arrangement. The dose index values obtained using the four dose calculation algorithms were then ...

タイトル: Evaluation of prescribing patterns of switching to and add-on lemborexant in patients treated with hypnotic medication: a nationwide claims database study in Japan著者: Tanaka-Mizuno, Sachiko; Fujimoto, Kenichi; Mishima, Kazuo; Sakata, Yukinori; Fukasawa, Toshiki; Mizuno, Kayoko; Yoshida, Satomi; Ishii, Mika; Taninaga, Takehiro; Kubota, Naoki; Moline, Margaret; Kawakami, Koji抄録: Background: When considering changing hypnotic pharmacotherapy, lemborexant has attracted attention as a candidate due to its effectiveness and safety profile. However, few studies have investigated switching patterns in clinical practice. Research design and methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a nationwide claims database. Patients prescribed a single hypnotic who either subsequently switched to (switching cohort) or were additionally prescribed (add-on cohort) lemborexant between July 2020 and December 2021 were identified. Proportion of successful switching was define ...
