Evaluation Methods for the Measurement of Lower Leg Edema in Healthy Young Adults
Background: In recent years, objective quantitative evaluations have become particularly important. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations are also available for edema. It is thought that the technical problem of quantitative evaluation can be solved by using a simple and reproducible method. Several studies have evaluated various methods for measuring edema. Limitations, such as weaknesses, measurement complexity, and errors, have been identified. Therefore, this study aimed to consider a simple and effective measurement method for the quantitative evaluation of edema. Methods: This study was a prospective, observational study. The subjects were 15 healthy adults (2 male and 13 female). Measurements were performed on the subjectsâ right lower leg once in the morning and once in the afternoon, with a minimum interval of 4 hours. Results: The actual volume of the lower leg was correlated with all indices except the ultrasonic echo findings for subcutaneous tissue. The intra-subject and inter-subject reliabilities for the indices using digital images were very high. The lower leg volume was greater significantly in the afternoon from the morning. Conclusion: The leg circumference was measured by utilizing a tape, while the width and volume were measured by utilizing digital imaging suitable for quantitatively evaluating edema. Furthermore, swelling of the lower leg with time can occur in the absence of daily exercise

Effect of Long-Term Exercise on Physical Function and Medical Examination in Elderly Women
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of exercise on physical functions (activities of daily living, physical fitness) and medical examination parameters as risk factors for lifestyle-related diseases in 65- to 75-year-old women living independently at home. The women were provided instruction on aerobic exercises and resistance training for 20 weeks. This was followed by a voluntary continuation of the exercises for 3 years (140 weeks). The subjects included 69 women who participated in an exercise instruction program in a fitness class. Thirty-eight of the women voluntarily continued with the exercise program [exercise (EX) group] and 31 women did not [sedentary (SED) group]. A control group of 44 women was also established. In the control group, most of the physical function parameters tended to deteriorate after 160 weeks. The medical examination parameters also tended to worsen, with many values above the normal limits. In the EX group, however, the physical function actually improved after 160 weeks. The improved control of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia was also observed. In the SED group, physical function improved after 20 weeks of exercise instruction but began to deteriorate once exercise was stopped. These results suggest that exercise instruction and continued exercise programs, based on an appropriate exercise prescription, are effective in improving physical function and controlling the risk factors for lifestyle-related diseases in elderly women living at home
Late Cenozoic Micropaleontologic Events in the Equatorial Pacific Sediments
A microbiostratigraphical investigation of five deep-sea sediment cores from the equatorial Pacific was carried out by utilizing planktonic foraminifers, radiolarians and calcareous nannoplankton. Several micropaleontologic events characterized by the first occurrence of taxa were found to provide reliable datum planes for stratigraphic correlation of post-Miocene sediments. These datum planes are : The Buccinosphaera invaginata Datum, Collosphaera tuberosa Datum, Globoquadrina conglomerata Datum, Pulleniatina obliquil-oculata Datum, Gephyrocapsa oceanica Datum, Gephyrocapsa caribbeanica Datum, Anthocyrtidium angulare Datum and Globorotalia (G.) truncatulinoides Datum, in downward sequence. These datum planes are related to the biostratigraphic zonations based on various microfossils, and further to the previously determined paleomagnetic stratigraphy. One new radiolarian species, Amphiropalum praeypsilon, is described
Low Field Superconducting Magnet with Nb-Ti Wire
A low-field square ended superconducting magnet has been constructed with
Nb-Ti alloy as a coil, which is to be used for the nuclear magnetic resonance
experiment at helium temperatures. The wire is wound around a brass bobbin
(the inner diameter 10 mm and the length 60 mm). To operate the magnet in
a persistent mode, a persistent current switch with the same wire is attached
The magnetic field strength at the exciting current 20 A is about 12kG, which
is measured by a Bi-sensor. No decay of the persistent current is observed with
time. The field strength vs. the current and the field distribution in the magnet
are measured, which are in good agreement with the calculated values
