Trend of blood pressure control status in dialysis patients: a 10-year follow-up study Open
Background The management of blood pressure (BP) in dialysis patients is important because hypertension is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We investigated the changes in BP control status of hemodialysis patients over a 10…

Influence of blood pressure variations during hemodialysis on the prognosis of dialysis patients Open
The prognosis of dialysis patients is poorer than that of the general population. The relationship between dialysis patients' blood pressure (BP) and mortality is controversial. We investigated the relationships between mortality and (i) p…

Trends in the prevalence of COPD in elderly individuals in an air-polluted city in Japan: a cross-sectional study Open
Both smoking and chronic exposure to air pollution (>5 years) decreased respiratory function, exacerbated respiratory symptoms, and increased the prevalence of COPD. We strongly recommend periodic screening for the elderly patients to faci…

Risk stratification based on J-ACCESS risk models with myocardial perfusion imaging: Risk versus outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease Open
The J-ACCESS risk models can stratify patients with CKD and eGFR ≥ 15 mL/min/1.73 m2, but patients with eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 are potentially at high risk regardless of estimated risk values.

Factors Associated with Outcomes of Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Angioplasty in Patients with Renal Artery Stenosis: A Retrospective Analysis of 50 Consecutive Cases Open
Background . The results of recent trials have brought some confusion to the treatment strategy for renal artery stenosis (RAS). To evaluate the applicability of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) for RAS, we extracted the …

Effectiveness of diagnostic screening tests in mass screening for COPD using a cooperative regional system in a region with heavy air pollution: a cross-sectional study Open
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a cooperative healthcare model for early detection and diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods This was a cross-sectional observational study. We perfo…
View article: Effects of Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Angioplasty on Office and Home Blood Pressure and Home Blood Pressure Variability in Hypertensive Patients With Renal Artery Stenosis
Effects of Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Angioplasty on Office and Home Blood Pressure and Home Blood Pressure Variability in Hypertensive Patients With Renal Artery Stenosis Open
This study included 126 hypertensive patients with renal artery stenosis (mean age, 63 years; 22.2% fibromuscular dysplasia [FMD]) and investigated the effects of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty on office and home blood pressur…

Risk Stratification of Acute Kidney Injury Using the Blood Urea Nitrogen/Creatinine Ratio in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Open
The combination of AKI and elevated BUN/Cr, but not BUN or creatinine individually, is linked with an increased risk of mortality in ADHF patients, suggesting that the BUN/Cr is useful for risk stratification of AKI.
