ESSQS certification did not affect postoperative mortality following LDG and LLAR, but annual experience of laparoscopic surgery was associated with it. ESSQS certification may contribute to favorable outcomes regarding anastomotic leakage following LDG and LLAR.

Terf/TRIM17 is a tripartite motif protein that has been originally isolated from testis. Terf has been characterized to exhibit an E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and to undergo self-ubiquitination. The cellular function of terf and its substrates, however, remain elusive. In the present study, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screening assay using terf as bait and identified a positive clone coding for ZW10 interacting protein (ZWINT), a known component of the kinetochore complex required for the m

Model 3 showed good performance and can be adopted as the JROD model for monitoring quality of care in an ICU, although further investigation of the clinical validity of outlier detection is required. This update method may also be useful in other settings.

Since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it has remained unknown whether conventional risk prediction tools used in intensive care units are applicable to patients with COVID-19. Therefore, we assessed the performance of established risk prediction models using the Japanese Intensive Care database. Discrimination and calibration of the models were poor. Revised risk prediction models are needed to assess the clinical severity of COVID-19 patients and monitor healthcar

コモドオオトカゲの保全の問題点をコモド村で検討した。観光業は1990年代以降，村の経済構造を変化させているが，新たな施策は村民の豊かさには結びついていない。コモドオオトカゲと住民の関係は，人間と家畜に一定の被害を出しながらも，伝統的に良好に築かれてきた。危険なコモドオオトカゲはこれまでも人々の安全な日常を阻害し，いまも害しているが，高床式住居のような建築方式や漁撈のような伝統的生活様式によって，村民とオオトカゲの調和した関係が維持されている。新しい保全理念や観光化の推進は，部分的に住民を漁撈から土産物販売へと移行させが，村民と地域社会は経済的に豊かになったわけではない。コモドオオトカゲにまつわる過度の観光化を注視する必要がある。
