Osteoporosis in internal medicine outpatients: Sex-specific disparities in prevalence, risk stratification, and treatment in a large cohort

Abstract Background Osteoporosis is a major health problem linked to population aging. Internal medicine outpatients often have multiple comorbidities and a high osteoporosis risk; however, osteoporosis prevalence and treatment rates remain unclear. We investigated osteoporosis p...

Association between central sensitization symptoms and cold hypersensitivity severity in older adults: a cross-sectional analysis from the Otassha Study

Abstract Introduction: Cold hypersensitivity (Hie) is a common complaint among older adults in East Asia and has traditionally been attributed to peripheral circulatory dysfunction. However, emerging evidence suggests that central sensitization (CS) may also contribute. This stud...

24-hour movement behaviour patterns differ across depressive symptom trajectories in community-dwelling older adults: a group-based trajectory model and compositional data analysis

Depressive symptoms in older adults change over time and do not follow a single uniform pattern. Whether 24-hour movement behaviour composition differs across depressive symptom trajectories remains unclear. This longitudinal secondary analysis used data from the Survey of Health...

Continuous glucose monitoring–guided optimization of peritoneal dialysis prescription in glycogen storage disease type 1a: a case report

Abstract Background Glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD-1a) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by impaired glucose homeostasis and progressive renal involvement. As life expectancy has improved, an increasing number of patients develop end-stage kidney disease...

Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Alarm-Triggered Interventions in Pediatrics

BACKGROUND: Alarm fatigue in pediatric wards stems from frequent, nonactionable alarms that do not lead to clinical intervention. Predicting alarm-triggered clinical interventions is essential for optimizing monitoring strategies. OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with al...

P1.114. Endoscopic Diagnosis of Esophageal Cancer Using Ultra-High Magnification Endocytoscopy

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: New Diagnostic Modalities (Including PET, PET-CT, New Tracers) Background Background Ultra-high magnification endoscopic observation using endocytoscopy (EC) enables cellular-level visualization and allows in vivo assessment comparable to histopa...

Perioperative Cognitive Decline in Verbal Associative Memory Following Carotid Revascularization and Subsequent Risk of Adverse Events: Clinical Significance of the Standard Verbal Paired Associate Learning Test (S-PA)

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to explore whether perioperative changes in cognitive function following carotid artery revascularization, including carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS), are associated with subsequent clinical outcomes, focusing...

Serial ultrafine endoscopic assessment of fibrin deposition and neomembrane formation in peritoneal dialysis patients using low glucose degradation product fluid

Preservation of the peritoneum is essential for the safe continuation of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Although PD fluid with low glucose degradation products (low GDP) are widely used, objective macroscopic assessment of the peritoneum during ongoing PD remains limited. We therefore...
