A Scottish and Japanese experience of patient-centred diabetic care: descriptive study of interprofessional education on live webinar.

To minimise the global burden of diabetes, the awareness of appropriate intervention methods for diabetes education and practice is essential. This project is the first international interprofessional education (IIPE) for the awareness of diabetes, with a focus on patient-centred care wherein three medical and four pharmacy students from Japan and one medical, two pharmacy, two nutrition and one occupational therapy (OT) student from Scotland participated. We described IIPE effects using interdisciplinary education perception scale (IEPS) before and after the programme among Scottish and Japanese students. University of Aberdeen/ Robert Gordon University and Nagoya University developed and established a shared online platform that provided knowledge to students on diabetes in both languages. We developed a case-based scenario that reflected diabetes care in each country using a standardised patient (SP). Lastly, a student-led live webinar was conducted on 14 November 2014 (the World Diabetes Day) to discuss and exchange care methods for SP. Each participating national team presented their care plan and all students discussed the diabetic care plan online. Both Japanese and Scottish teams were able to accurately assess the patient’s condition and empathise with the SP. In conclusion, all participants learned that interprofessional collaboration was clearly required for diabetes management focused on patient-centred care. All participants appreciated the differences in the approach of the two countries involved because of the cultural and health related differences. This programme was significant in raising awareness regarding the need for international interprofessional intervention on diabetes towards developing a model for live webinar IIPE

The Development of a Self-rating Questionnaire for Screening Dementia

Few self-rating questionnaires have been developed for use in screening for dementia due to technical difficulties. We were required to develop a self-rating questionnaire for dementia for the first-stage screening of a 1995 dementia prevalence study in the Nagasaki Prefecture. In our pilot study, we drafted a questionnaire of 43 items and applied it to 399 subjects in attendance at educational programs for senior citizens, and residing in institutions for senior citizens and in nursing homes for the aged. 185 subjects (71 males, 114 females ; average age, 77.3 years) successfully completed the questionnaire, including 39 subjects with medically diagnosed dementia. We conducted a discriminant analysis on these subjects\u27 responses to the original 43 items, and extracted 13 items which most contributed to discrimination of dementia. The sensitivity of discrimination by the final questionnaire was 0.82, and the specificity was 0.89. In the prevalence study of dementia in Nagasaki Prefecture, we could re-examine the validity of the questionnaire. The high sensitivity and moderate level of specificity of the questionnaire was considered reasonable for use in screening dementia

Probability Measure on Discrete Spaces and Algebra of Real-Valued Random Variables

In this article we continue formalizing probability and randomness started in [13], where we formalized some theorems concerning the probability and real-valued random variables. In this paper we formalize the variance of a random variable and prove Chebyshev's inequality. Next we formalize the product probability measure on the Cartesian product of discrete spaces. In the final part of this article we define the algebra of real-valued random variables.Okazaki Hiroyuki - Shinshu University, Nagano, JapanShidama Yasunari - Shinshu University, Nagano, JapanGrzegorz Bancerek and Krzysztof Hryniewiecki.

Prenatal diagnosis of severe mitochondrial diseases caused by nuclear gene defects: a study in Japan

Prenatal diagnoses of mitochondrial diseases caused by defects in nuclear DNA (nDNA) or mitochondrial DNA have been reported in several countries except for Japan. The present study aimed to clarify the status of prenatal genetic diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases caused by nDNA defects in Japan. A comprehensive genomic analysis was performed to diagnose more than 400 patients, of which, 13 families (16 cases) had requested prenatal diagnoses. Eight cases diagnosed with wild type homozygous or heterozygous variants same as either of the heterozygous parents continued the pregnancy and delivered healthy babies. Another eight cases were diagnosed with homozygous, compound heterozygous, or hemizygous variants same as the proband. Of these, seven families chose to terminate the pregnancy, while one decided to continue the pregnancy. Neonatal- or infantile-onset mitochondrial diseases show severe phenotypes and lead to lethality. Therefore, such diseases could be candidates for prenatal diagnosis with careful genetic counseling, and prenatal testing could be a viable option for families
