Ectopic Calcification as Discernible Manifestation in Neonates with Pseudohypoparathyroidism Type 1a

The diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a (PHP1a) is challenging, because both the osteodystrophy, such as brachydactyly and round face, and the symptomatic hypocalcemia usually develop beyond infancy. Although ectopic calcification may be an early sign of PHP1a, there are no systematic reviews regarding the time of its appearance. We here report on two PHP1a patients who presented with subcutaneous calcification in neonatal period

Report on the Implementation of Rhythmic Swimming and its Effects on children

J-GLOBAL ID : 202001004156798454Swimming is an area of physical activity required in elementary and secondary schools. However, in the special environment of water, which is different from land, many children have breathing restrictions, poor visibility, aversion to splashing, and anxiety about an unfixed support point. This study investigated the effects of rhythm swimming which is known to be effective in broadening the enjoyment of swimming, to see what effect it would have on the children. 94.34％ of the respondents indicated that rhythm swimming was more enjoyable than regular swimming lessons. 86.79％ said they liked swimming more than before, and the responses showed the positive effects of rhythm swimming. Rhythm swimming is a new aspect of swimming, and its effective use has the potential to dispel the fear of swimming.1520297128945129856application/pdfdepartmental bulletin pape

Sympathetic skin response and heart rate variability as diagnostic tools for the differential diagnosis of lewy body dementia and alzheimer\u27s disease: A diagnostic test study

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of sympathetic skin response (SSR) and heart rate variability (HRV) for the differential diagnosis of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Design: A diagnostic test study. Setting: Single centre in Japan. Participants: We examined 20 patients with probable Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) diagnosed with NINCDSADRDA criteria and 20 with probable DLB diagnosed with the criteria of the third international DLB workshop. Methods: For the SSR measurement, surface electrodes were used: the active recording electrode was placed on the palm of the hand and the reference electrode was placed on the dorsum of the same hand. SSR was induced by a median nerve electrical stimulation at an amplitude of 20 mA. For the HRV measurement, the A-A intervals were measured twice for 2 min with an interval of 5 min in a sitting position after a rest of 5 min. From the low-frequency power (LF; 0.02-0.15 Hz) and high-frequency power (HF; 0.15-0.50 Hz), the ratio of LF to HF power (LF/HF) was calculated using the maximal entropy method. Results: SSR and HRV could detect the abnormality of autonomic function in patients with DLB at sensitivities of 85% and 90%, respectively. On the other hand, SSR and HRV detected an abnormality of autonomic function in patients with AD at sensitivities of 15% and 25% (p<0.05). The combination of the SSR and the HRV (double-positive) indicated abnormal autonomic function was recorded in only 1 of 20 patients (5%) with AD. In contrast, this combination indicated autonomic abnormality in 15 of 20 patients with DLB by our criteria (75%). Conclusions: SSR and HRV can be applied to differentiate DLB from AD

Long-term effectiveness of right septal pacing vs. right apical pacing in patients with atrioventricular block

AbstractBackgroundLong-term right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing increases the risk of heart failure (HF) by inducing ventricular dyssynchronization. Although recent studies suggest that right ventricular septal (RVS) pacing results in improved short-term outcomes, its long-term effectiveness remains unclear.Methods and resultsThis study investigated 149 consecutive patients who underwent implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker for atrioventricular block with either RVS-pacing between July 2007 and June 2010 or RVA-pacing between January 2003 and June 2007. The endpoint was defined as death and hospitalization due to heart failure (HF). The rates of mortality and hospitalization due to HF were significantly lower in the RVS-pacing group than that in the RVA-pacing group (event free RVS: 1 year, 98% and 2 years, 98%; RVA: 1 year, 85% and 2 years, 81%; p<0.05). None of the patients died from HF in the RVS-pacing group, while 4 patients died from HF in the RVA-pacing group within 2 years after pacemaker implantation. The paced QRS interval was significantly shorter with RVS pacing than with RVA pacing at different times after pacemaker implantation (RVS: immediately 157.8±24.0ms, after 3 months 157.3±17.5ms, after 6 months 153.6±21.7ms, after 12 months 153.6±19.4ms, after 24 months 149.3±24.0ms vs. RVA: immediately 168.3±23.7ms, after 3 months 168.7±26.0ms, after 6 months 168.0±22.8ms, after 12 months 171.2±22.3ms, after 24 months 176.1±25.5ms; p<0.05).ConclusionsRVS pacing is feasible and safe with more favorable clinical benefits than RVA pacing
