Comparative study of gas transfer between parallel and series connection of artificial lung in ECMO Open
体格の大きな患者や重症呼吸不全患者、敗血症患者などに対する体外式膜型人工肺（extracorporeal membrane oxygenation：ECMO）では、耐久性は向上したが通常開心術用のガス交換能で規格設計された人工肺ではガス交換能が不足し、人工肺を2個同時に使用する例が報告されている。多くの施設では人工肺を並列接続して使用しているが、血液流量とガス移動量が正比例の関係にある人工肺では、理論上並列接続ではガス交換能は向上しない。そこで、実験回路を作製してガスと温度…

Idiopathic dissecting cerebral aneurysm of the distal anterior cerebral artery in an infant successfully treated with aneurysmectomy: illustrative case Open
BACKGROUND Idiopathic dissecting cerebral aneurysms (IDCAs) are male dominant but are extremely rare in children. Many IDCAs in children are located in the posterior cerebral artery and the supraclinoid internal cervical artery. No cases o…

Percutaneous Ultrasonography-guided Carotid Artery Stenting without Using a Contrast Medium: Innovation to Reduce Radiation Exposure Open
Objective: We performed a percutaneous carotid artery stenting (CAS) under ultrasono-graphic (US) guidance without contrast in patients with impaired renal function. We present the CAS procedure, which avoids the simultaneous use of fluoro…

Pilot Study of a Device to Induce the Hanger Reflex in Patients with Cervical Dystonia Open
The hanger reflex (HR) is an involuntary head rotation that occurs in response to a clothes hanger encircling the head and compressing the unilateral fronto-temporal area. Here, we developed an elliptical device to induce the HR and examin…

Study of centrally-controlled medical equipment utility rate Open
The utility rate medical equipment is an essential parameter for deciding the number of clinical units required for central control. But some articles in the past have defined optimum utility rates as 70%, give or take, obviously lower tha…

Protection of Kyo-yasai (heirloom vegetables in Kyoto) from extinction: a case of Sabaka-daikon (Japan's heirloom white radish, Raphanus sativus ) in Maizuru, Japan Open
As a general background, Sabaka-daikon, one of the heirloom vegetables in Kyoto, ceased its commercial cultivation in the late 1960s at north Kyoto, leading to an extinction crisis. We review the activities of the local residents to revive…

A Novel Trigger for Cholesterol-Dependent Smooth Muscle Contraction Mediated by the Sphingosylphosphorylcholine-Rho-Kinase Pathway in the Rat Basilar Artery: A Mechanistic Role for Lipid Rafts Open
Hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for abnormal cerebrovascular events. Rafts are cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains that influence signal transduction. We previously showed that Rho-kinase-mediated Ca 2+ sensitization of vascular smo…
