    Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a new pediatric acuity chart that can assess the minimum separation threshold by incorporating the minimum separation threshold into the picture. To overcome the design limitations of the Landolt ring, two designs of highly versatile minimum separable thresholds that can be easily incorporated into a picture were created: a black, filled circle (the "Circle") and a segment (the "Square"), both with the same break as in the Landolt ring. The three designs-the Landolt ring, Circle, and Square-were used to evaluate and compare the differences in the visual acuity of 21 healthy adults. No significant differences were observed between the results of the visual acuity tested with the Landolt ring, Circle, and Square (Landolt ring vs. Circle:

    Abstract This study reports a novel stress radiography technique to evaluate an avulsion fracture at the lateral malleolus in children. Radiographs in the stress anteroposterior view or the Haraguchi calcaneofibular ligament or anterior tarofibular ligament (ATFL) projection could not detect any fracture; only manual inversion stress radiography in the Haraguchi ATFL projection could identify the avulsion fracture.

    Abstract Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a public health issue that affects family caregivers, because individuals with ABI often require semi-permanent care and community support in daily living. Identifying the characteristics of family caregivers and individuals with ABI and examining life-change adaptation may provide valuable insights. The current study sought to explore the factors contributing to life-change adaptation in family caregivers of community-dwelling individuals with ABI. As a secondary analysis, a cross-sectional study was conducted using data obtained in a previous study of 1622 family caregivers in Japan. We hypothesized that life-change adaptation in family caregivers of individuals with ABI would also be related to family caregivers' characteristics and the characteristics of individuals with ABI. In total, 312 valid responses were analyzed using Poisson regression analysis. The results revealed that life-change adaptation in family caregivers of individuals with ABI was related to sex (prevalence ratio [PR]: 0.65, confidence interval [CI]: -0.819;-0.041) and mental health (PR: 2.04, CI: 0.354; 1.070) as family caregivers' characteristics, and topographical disorientation (PR: 1.51, CI: 0.017; 0.805) and loss of control over behavior (PR: 1.61, CI: 0.116; 0.830) as the characteristics of individuals with ABI, after adjusting for the effects of the caregiver's age, sex, and the duration of the caregiver's role. The current study expands existing knowledge and provides a deeper understanding to enhance the development of specific policies for improving caregiving services and supporting families.

    Abstract Aim: To report on the effects of a smartphone application, among the medical staff and medical students, for learning English as a foreign language.
    Methods: We conducted an exploratory quasi-experimental study among eight medical staff and 10 medical students in Japan. The participants used an application called ABC Talking (created by ABC Talking Laboratories Inc, currently unavailable due to application renewal), loaded onto their smartphones, to talk with native English speakers from overseas. The participants used the application for five minutes twice a day over five consecutive days as per their convenience. The study collected quantitative and qualitative data using assessments on the participants' listening and speaking skills and questionnaire. The assessment scores of the first five sessions were compared to those of the last five. Average self-assessment scores and teacher assessment scores were compared using a
    Results: More than 80% of the calls were made from home and 70% occurred between 9PM and 1AM. The participants' self-assessment scores on their listening and speaking skills increased significantly from the first five sessions to the last five sessions (14.8-26.1%). However, there was no significant change in the assessments by the teachers (-4.5-2.1%). The self-assessment scores of those with low English proficiency were lower than the teachers' assessment scores. Improvement of communicative self-confidence and communicative competence, two factors that affect willingness to communicate, were seen from the questionnaire.
    Conclusion: Using smartphone applications allows on-demand English training, which may be especially useful to medical staff and students who have unpredictable work schedules. Teachers should be aware that learners tend to assess themselves lower than their actual ability so that they can give appropriate feedback to the learners.

    Abstract Erythema nodosum (EN) may be idiopathic or secondary, and usually resolves naturally within 1-2 months. In atypical EN cases, the rash extends beyond the lower limbs to the upper limbs and trunk, and histopathological findings may be accompanied by vasculitis in addition to septal panniculitis. Few studies have examined the differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with EN based on rash distribution. We retrospectively examined whether there was a correlation with clinical information, such as the presence or absence of underlying diseases, by classifying the patients into two groups: the lower limbs group (the EN rash was confined to the lower limbs) and the beyond lower limbs group (the EN rash appeared beyond the lower limbs). Among the 86 adult patients diagnosed with EN at the Dermatology Department of Fujita Medical University between 2015 and 2020, there were 65 cases of the lower limbs group and 21 cases of the beyond lower limbs group. The frequency of underlying diseases was significantly higher in the beyond lower limbs group (76.2%, 16 cases) than in the lower limbs group (40.0%, 26 cases; P < 0.005). Vasculitis was more notable in the beyond lower limbs group (P < 0.05). Significantly higher vasculitis was noted in the EN group with underlying diseases (30.2%, 13 cases) than in the idiopathic EN group without underlying diseases (11.6%, 5 cases; P < 0.05). Neutrophil extracellular traps were positive in approximately 40% of cases in both groups. In the beyond lower limbs group, the possibility of severe cases with underlying diseases, vasculitis, and inflammation must be considered for effective treatment.

    Abstract The Windkessel model, which is known as a successful model for explaining the hemodynamic circulation, is a mathematical model with a direct correspondence with the electric circuit. We propose a theoretical model for the intracranial aneurysm based on the Windkessel-type steady blood flow. Intracranial aneurysms are well known vascular lesions, which cause subarachnoid hemorrhages. Since an aneurysm is an end-sack formed on the blood vessel, it functions as an unusual blood path that has characteristic features such as a reservoir and bottle neck orifice. We simulate an aneurysm by an electric circuit consisting of three different impedances, resistance, capacitance and inductance. A dumbbell-shaped aneurysm is the most dangerous aneurysm to easily rupture. Our aneurysmal model is created as a two-story aneurysm model for this point, thus namely the five-element Windkessel. Then, the mathematical formula was solved in numerical simulations by changing the size of the aneurysm and the elasticity of the aneurysm wall. An analysis of this model provided that the presence of the daughter aneurysm and the thinning of the aneurysm wall are positively correlated with a sharp increase in blood pressure in the aneurysm dome. Our mathematic aneurysm model proposes a good analogue to the real aneurysm and proved that this model includes soliton that is a non-decreasing wave propagation.
