Preterm infants have a high risk of neonatal white matter injury (WMI) caused by hypoxia-ischemia. Cell-based therapies are promising strategies for neonatal WMI by providing trophic substances and replacing lost cells. Using a rat model of neonatal WMI in which oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPCs) are predominantly damaged, we investigated whether i...

The outcome predictors of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in patients who undergo mitral valve surgery remain unknown. This study aimed to retrospectively review valvular surgery in patients who received an IABP to identify the predictors of failure of IABP support and anticipate the necessary therapy. This retrospective observational study recrui...

To determine whether burdens of chronic comorbid illnesses can predict the clinical course of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV)patients in a long-term, acute-care hospital (LTACH). Retrospective study of 866 consecutive PMV patients whose burdens of chronic comorbid illnesses were quantified using the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS). Ba...

We previously reported the feasibility of neoadjuvant capecitabine and oxaliplatin plus bevacizumab as a treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (UMIN000003219). The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic relevance of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by total mesorectal resection (TME). Twenty-five patients of our prior multicente...

Objective Occurrence of a stroke within 30 days following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an uncommon, but often devastating, complication. This study aimed to identify factors associated with long-term survival (beyond 30 days) in patients with stroke after CABG. Methods De-identified patients’ records from the Veterans Affairs Surgical ...

Medullary pancreatic carcinoma (MPC) is a rare histological variant of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Because of its rarity, data on the molecular background of MPC are limited. Previous studies have shown that a subset of MPCs is microsatellite instable due to mismatch repair deficiency. Here, we present a unique case of a female patient...

Background and Objectives: Although intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) provides promising survival advantages and fewer late complications in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), appropriated target volumes and prescribed doses are still being explored. This study aimed to propose different risk target volumes and corresponding prescribe...

To evaluate the benefit of resective surgical periodontal therapy (root amputation or resection, root separation, tunnelling) in periodontitis patients exhibiting class II and III furcation involvement (FI) compared with non-surgical treatment (SRP) or open flap debridement (OFD). Outcomes were tooth survival (primary), vertical probing attachment ...

Few studies have adequately addressed long-term survival (>20 years from diagnosis) among survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancers. In this retrospective, population-based cohort study in a US integrated health care system, the authors examined cause-specific mortality in 2-year survivors of AYA cancers (patients aged 15-39 years who w...

The long-term efficacy of nivolumab in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and its association with disease biomarkers are currently not well known. Therefore, we investigated the association in Japanese patients with treatment-refractory advanced esophageal cancer who participated in an open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase II study. Patients r...
