    Abstract Purpose: Recommendations on perioperative glycemic control in cardiac surgery are based on coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), though coronary artery disease and valvular disease are pathologically distinct. We aimed to compare the postoperative insulin requirement between CABG and other cardiac surgeries in type 2 diabetic patients and identify predictive factors for the maximum postoperative insulin dose.
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively included 60 Japanese patients with diabetes/glucose intolerance (HbA1c > 37 mmol/mol [5.6%]) who were hospitalized for cardiovascular surgery between April 2017 and March 2019. We categorized the subjects into the CABG and non-CABG groups, and performed subgroup analysis on patients who received postoperative insulin therapy.
    Results: The CABG group required a significantly higher insulin dose on postoperative days 2, 5, 6, and 7, and a significantly higher maximum postoperative insulin dose (24.6 U vs 9.7 U, P < 0.001) than the non-CABG group. Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that the independent determinants of the maximum postoperative insulin dose were HbA1c and duration of diabetes in the non-CABG group, and HbA1c in the CABG group.
    Conclusion: CABG had a higher postoperative insulin requirement than other cardiovascular surgeries; early aggressive insulin therapy is indicated, especially for patients with higher HbA1c levels/longer duration of diabetes.

    Abstract Background: Ejection fraction (EF), which is assessed using ultrasonography, is a standard parameter for evaluating cardiac function in clinical cardiology and for cardiovascular management during general anesthesia. However, it is impossible to continuously and non-invasively assess EF using ultrasonography. The aim of our study was to develop a method for estimating EF non-invasively using the left ventricular arterial coupling ratio (Ees/Ea).
    Methods: Ees/Ea was estimated non-invasively using the parameters pre-ejection period (PEP), ejection time (ET), end-systolic pressure (Pes) and diastolic pressure (Pad), which were calculated from a vascular screening system, VeSera 1000/1500 (Fukuda Denshi Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Then, left ventricular efficiency (Eff) as a pump, defined as the ratio of external work (EW) to myocardial oxygen consumption, which strongly correlates with the pressure-volume area (PVA), was calculated by a new formula using Ees/Ea, and was used to approximate EF (EFeff). Simultaneously, we measured EF using transthoracic echocardiography (EFecho), and compared it with EFeff.
    Results: The study included 44 healthy adults (36 males, 8 females), in whom mean EFecho was 66 ± 5% and EFeff was 57 ± 9%. We found a positive correlation between EFecho and EFeff (R
    Conclusion: The results suggest that EF can be measured non-invasively using left ventricular arterial coupling.

    Abstract Case: A 23-year-old woman sustained a skin defect in the anterior ankle involving the extensor retinaculum (ER) and 10 cm of extensor tendons (ETs) after a wide resection of clear cell sarcoma. The skin defect was reconstructed with free latissimus dorsi flap, ER with tensor fascia lata, and ETs with 2-staged tendon reconstruction using silicone rod interposition, followed by semitendinosus and gracilis tendon grafts. Four years postoperatively, she achieved 92% of ankle and 70% of great toe motion of the contralateral side.
    Conclusion: This reconstruction technique was useful for a large soft-tissue defect at the anterior ankle.

    Abstract Introduction: Photoimmunotherapy (PIT) is a treatment wherein intravenous cetuximab sarotalocan sodium is administered followed by laser light irradiation. This treatment exhibits a specific antitumor effect if in tumors expressing the epidermal growth factor receptor, regardless of the carcinoma [Mitsunaga et al.: Nat Med. 2011;17(12):1685-91, Sato et al.: ACS Cent Sci. 2018;4(11):1559-69, Nakajima et al.: Cancer Sci. 2018;109(9):2889-96]. The current indications are unresectable, locally advanced, or locally recurrent head and neck cancer. If standard treatments, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, are available, they are given priority. However, a significant concern in PIT is the occurrence of airway emergencies related to pharyngeal edema. Prophylactic tracheostomy is often performed in cases of PIT involving the root of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx.
    Case presentation: In this study, we administered transoral PIT to a patient diagnosed with radiation-induced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cT1N0M0 stage I). Although previous case reports and our own experiences did not report airway emergencies following PIT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a unique case occurred in our study [Omura et al.: Auris Nasus Larynx. 2023;50(4):641-5, Kushihashi et al.: Int J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2022;11(5, Sep):258-65]. The patient experienced poor oxygenation and a decreased level of consciousness early in the morning following the laser irradiation. Nasal endoscopy revealed airway narrowing due to upper airway edema, and intubation was challenging. Consequently, we performed emergency bedside tracheostomy and the patient's condition improved.
    Conclusion: Therefore, it is crucial to note that airway emergencies can be life-threatening and should be diligently monitored as a potential complication of PIT.

    Abstract Estimating river flood risk helps us to develop strategies for reducing the economic losses and making a resilient society. Flood-related economic losses can be categorized as direct asset damage, opportunity losses because of business interruption (BI loss), and high-order propagation effects on global trade networks. Biases in meteorological data obtained from climate models hinder the estimation of BI loss because of inaccurate input data including inundation extent and period. In this study, we estimated BI loss and asset damage using a global river and inundation model driven by a recently developed bias-corrected meteorological forcing scheme. The results from the bias-corrected forcing scheme showed an estimated global BI loss and asset damage of USD 26.9 and 130.9 billion (2005 purchase power party, PPP) (1960–2013 average), respectively. Although some regional differences were detected, the estimated BI loss was similar in magnitude to reported historical flood losses. BI loss tended to be greater in river basins with mild slopes such as the Amazon, which has a long inundation period. Future flood risk projection using the same framework under Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) and Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 3 (SSP3) scenarios showed increases in BI loss and asset damage per GDP by 0.32% and 1.78% (2061–2090 average) compared with a past period (1971–2000 average), respectively.

    Abstract Abstract The ongoing increases in anthropogenic radiative forcing have changed the global water cycle and are expected to lead to more intense precipitation extremes and associated floods. However, given the limitations of observations and model simulations, evidence of the impact of anthropogenic climate change on past extreme river discharge is scarce. Here, a large ensemble numerical simulation revealed that 64% (14 of 22 events) of floods analyzed during 2010-2013 were affected by anthropogenic climate change. Four flood events in Asia, Europe, and South America were enhanced within the 90% likelihood range. Of eight snow-induced floods analyzed, three were enhanced and four events were suppressed, indicating that the effects of climate change are more likely to be seen in the snow-induced floods. A global-scale analysis of flood frequency revealed that anthropogenic climate change enhanced the occurrence of floods during 2010-2013 in wide area of northern Eurasia, part of northwestern India, and central Africa, while suppressing the occurrence of floods in part of northeastern Eurasia, southern Africa, central to eastern North America and South America. Since the changes in the occurrence of flooding are the results of several hydrological processes, such as snow melt and changes in seasonal and extreme precipitation, and because a climate change signal is often not detectable from limited observation records, large ensemble discharge simulation provides insights into anthropogenic effects on past fluvial floods.

    Abstract Estimates of future flood risk rely on projections from climate models. The relatively few climate models used to analyze future flood risk cannot easily quantify of their associated uncertainties. In this study, we demonstrated that the projected fluvial flood changes estimated by a new generation of climate models, the collectively known as Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), are similar to those estimated by CMIP5. The spatial patterns of the multi-model median signs of change (+ or -) were also very consistent, implying greater confidence in the projections. The model spread changed little over the course of model development, suggesting irreducibility of the model spread due to internal climate variability, and the consistent projections of models from the same institute suggest the potential to reduce uncertainties caused by model differences. Potential global exposure to flooding is projected to be proportional to the degree of warming, and a greater threat is anticipated as populations increase, demonstrating the need for immediate decisions.
