Consolidative ESP

There is an ever increasing demand from industry that engineers, especially those in the field of computer science, have a better command of English. This paper reports the pilot ESP teaching project in one of the biggest faculties of engineering in Japan. About 150 second-year students were given the weekly assignment of translating what they had learned in class about a programming language into English. The project was carried out by a team of specialists, both in the content area and language teaching, and implemented on CEAS, an e-learning platform which emphasizes the face-to-face lecture. The project proved to be successful as the test results in English and the programming language showed a strong correlation. The student perception of the demanding curriculum was also positive. Through trial and error in the course of one year, the ESP teaching curriculum for the first to third year students was developed.Professional Communication Conference, 2007. IPCC 2007.

Lubiprostone Decreases the Small Bowel Transit Time by Capsule Endoscopy: An Exploratory, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled 3-Way Crossover Study

The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of lubiprostone for bowel preparation and as a propulsive agent in small bowel endoscopy. Six healthy male volunteers participated in this randomized, 3-way crossover study. The subjects received a 24 μg tablet of lubiprostone 60 minutes prior to the capsule ingestion for capsule endoscopy (CE) and a placebo tablet 30 minutes before the capsule ingestion (L-P regimen), a placebo tablet 60 minutes prior to CE and a 24 μg tablet of lubiprostone 30 minutes prior to CE (P-L regimen), or a placebo tablet 60 minutes prior to r CE and a placebo tablet again 30 minutes prior to CE (P-P regimen). The quality of the capsule endoscopic images and the amount of water in the small bowel were assessed on 5-point scale. The median SBTT was 178.5 (117–407) minutes in the P-P regimen, 122.5 (27–282) minutes in the L-P regimen, and 110.5 (11–331) minutes in the P-L regimen (P=0.042). This study showed that the use of lubiprostone significantly decreased the SBTT. We also confirmed that lubiprostone was effective for inducing water secretion into the small bowel during CE
