In order to obtain clear salivary gland images, subtraction scintigraphy was attempted in the mouse neck. The purpose of this attempt was to eliminate the unwanted thyroid gland image which appeared overlapped with the salivary gland image. The subtraction procedures were carried out photographically using a thyroid gland scintigram with Na^I and a salivary gland scintigram with ^TcO^-_4. Thyroid gland scintigram was used as a scout image, which was used to make a subtraction mask. Salivary gland scintigram was used as the original image. These two images were superimposed exactly, and were exposed with a spotlight. Subtraction scintigram was obtained as a negative image, which demonstrated only the salivary gland structure

多発性骨髄腫におけるlong non-cording RNA MALAT1とNEAT1 およびNEAT1_2 の発現

Comorbid diabetes and chronic kidney disease is a common problem associated with an increased risk of death and significant health-care costs. Health-care is often suboptimal. This thesis focuses on health-care improvement for this patient population by using multiple research methodologies to address gaps in medical management and identifies key barriers and enablers to optimal health-care. It also includes the largest multi-centre Australian assessment of the needs and possible improvements to health-care delivery for diabetes and kidney disease, through the lens of health-care providers and patients. The findings have informed the development of a new patient-centred model of care
