Factors contribute to efficiency of specimen concentration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by centrifugation and magnetic beads.

International journal of mycobacteriology
BACKGROUND: A concentration of specimen is recommended for the effective recovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), but the bacteriological efficiency is not well evaluated. The present study evaluated the factors contributing to concentration eff...

Effectiveness of social behaviors for autonomous wheelchair robot to support elderly people in Japan.

PloS one
We developed a wheelchair robot to support the movement of elderly people and specifically implemented two functions to enhance their intention to use it: speaking behavior to convey place/location related information and speed adjustment based on in...

Factors Contributing to Early Recovery of Urinary Continence Analyzed by Pre- and Postoperative Pelvic Anatomical Features at Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy.

Journal of endourology
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to elucidate factors contributing to early recovery of urinary continence after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) from the perspective of urethral and vesical anatomical features after...

Prediction of biochemical recurrence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: analysis of 784 Japanese patients.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVES: To examine biochemical recurrence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in Japanese patients, and to develop a risk stratification model for biochemical recurrence.

Anatomical dimensions using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging: impact on the learning curve of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of anatomical dimensions as measured using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging on the outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Heterogeneous cardiovascular effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes: a causal forest and target trial emulation study.

European journal of preventive cardiology
AIMS: Evidence is limited as to who benefit the most from sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), especially among people without elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated the heterogeneity...

Explainable artificial intelligence for prediction of refractory ulcerative colitis: analysis of a Japanese Nationwide Registry.

Annals of medicine
OBJECTIVE: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease for which remission is dependent on corticosteroid (CS) treatment. The diversity of disease pathophysiology necessitates optimal case-specific treatment selection. This study ...

Machine learning-based analyses of contributing factors for the development of hypertension: a comparative study.

Clinical and experimental hypertension (New York, N.Y. : 1993)
OBJECTIVES: Sufficient attention has not been given to machine learning (ML) models using longitudinal data for investigating important predictors of new onset of hypertension. We investigated the predictive ability of several ML models for the devel...

Identifying New Candidate Predictors of Mortality in Japanese Patients with Severe Drug Eruptions.

Drug safety
UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: SCORe of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SCORTEN) and ABCD-10 have been developed as scoring systems for predicting mortality associated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). These...
