    Abstract Occupational burnout has become a pervasive problem, especially among medical professionals who are highly vulnerable to burnout. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical professionals have faced greater levels of stress. It is critical to increase our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of burnout among medical professionals for the benefit of healthcare systems. Therefore, in this study, we investigated structural brain correlates of burnout severity in medical professionals using a voxel-based morphometric technique. Nurses in active service underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging. Two core dimensions of burnout, namely, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, were assessed using self-reported psychological questionnaires. Levels of emotional exhaustion were found to be negatively correlated with gray matter (GM) volumes in the bilateral ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and left insula. Moreover, levels of depersonalization were negatively correlated with GM volumes in the left vmPFC and left thalamus. Altogether, these findings contribute to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms of burnout and may provide helpful insights for developing effective interventions for medical professionals.

    Abstract A questionnaire survey was administered to Japanese clinical specialists in hypertension in order to gauge their opinions on the 1999 revised version of the Guidelines for Hypertension in the Elderly prepared by the Comprehensive Research Project on Aging and Health of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Out of 162 council members of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 122 (75%) replied. The majority (93%) of respondents approved of the guidelines in general, and 72% of them approved of the age-related setting of a therapeutic goal for blood pressure. Sixty-five percent of respondents selected long-acting Ca antagonists, ACE inhibitors and low-dose diuretics as first-line agents for hypertension without complications in the elderly. The results of the questionnaire survey should be reflected in the next version of the guidelines.
