    Abstract Background and objectives: In magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) procedures, headache is a frequent symptom and cause of treatment discontinuation. Herein, we assessed the efficacy of scalp nerve block (SNB) for alleviating headache during MRgFUS procedures.
    Methods: The effect of SNB on intraprocedural headache was examined by retrospectively comparing 2 patient cohorts at a single institution. During the study period from April 2020 to February 2022, an SNB protocol for all patients with a skull density ratio ≤0.55 was instituted on October 6, 2021. The number of patients with a skull density ratio ≤0.55 was 34 before the protocol and 36 afterward. Headache intensity was evaluated using a numerical rating scale (NRS) after each sonication. To evaluate the effect of SNB on headache intensity, multiple regression analysis was performed per patient and per sonication. In the per-patient analysis, the effect of SNB was evaluated using the maximum NRS, mean NRS, and NRS at the first ultrasound exposure that reached 52.5°C. In the per-sonication analysis, the effect of SNB was evaluated not only for the entire sonication but also for sonications classified into ≤9999 J, 10 000 to 29 999 J, and ≥30 000 J energy doses.
    Results: With SNB, headache alleviation was observed in the NRS after the first sonication that reached 52.5°C in each patient (β = -2.40, 95% CI -4.05 to -0.758, P = .00499), in the NRS when all sonications were evaluated (β = -0.647, 95% CI -1.19 to -0.106, P = .0201), and in the NRS when all sonications were classified into 10 000 to 29 999 J (β = -1.83, 95% CI -3.17 to -0.485, P = .00889).
    Conclusion: SNB significantly reduced headache intensity during MRgFUS, especially that caused by sonication with a moderate-energy dose. These findings suggest that scalp nerves play a role in headache mechanisms during MRgFUS.

    Abstract Purpose: The long-term prognosis of stapled and hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomoses in familial adenomatous polyposis patients in Japan remains unknown. This study aimed to compare the overall survival in familial adenomatous polyposis patients who underwent stapled or hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
    Methods: This multicenter retrospective study was conducted at 12 institutions in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The clinical outcomes of 53 eligible familial adenomatous polyposis patients who underwent stapled (n = 24) and hand-sewn (n = 29) ileal pouch-anal anastomosis were compared.
    Results: The median follow-up duration was 171.5 months. The incidence of adenoma in the remnant rectum or anal transitional zone and metachronous rectal cancer was significantly more common in stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (adenoma: stapled, 45.8%, vs. hand-sewn, 10.3%, p = 0.005; metachronous rectal cancer: 29.2%, vs. none, p = 0.002). The number of deaths was remarkably higher in stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (p = 0.002). Metachronous rectal cancer was the most common cause of death. Overall survival was worse in stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis than in hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (120 months, 90.7% vs. 96.6%; 240 months, 63.7% vs. 96.6%; p = 0.044). Cox regression analysis revealed the independent effects of preoperative advanced colorectal cancer and stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis on overall survival.
    Conclusion: Stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis negatively affected the overall survival of familial adenomatous polyposis patients. Therefore, hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is recommended for better prognosis in these patients.

    Abstract Background: Antifibrotic therapy is widely used for patients with progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD), regardless of etiology. There is an urgent need for a simple, inexpensive, and repeatable biomarker to evaluate disease severity and mortality risk.
    Methods: This retrospective multicohort study assessed the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratios (NLRs) of 416 patients with ILD who received antifibrotic therapy (Hamamatsu cohort, n = 217; Seirei cohort, n = 199). The mortality risk vs. NLR relationship was evaluated at therapy initiation and 1 year. The optimal NLR cutoff of 2.7 was selected according to the mortality risk.
    Results: Survival was shorter in patients with high NLR than with low NLR (median: 2.63 vs. 4.01 years). The NLR classification results (cutoff: 2.7) were longitudinally preserved in >70 % of the patients, and patients with consistently high NLR had a higher risk of mortality than others (median, 2.97 vs. 4.42 years). In multivariate analysis, high NLR was significantly associated with mortality independent of age, sex, forced vital capacity, lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (D
    Conclusion: High NLR was associated with an increased mortality risk in patients with ILDs receiving antifibrotic therapy. Assessment of NLR may help predict disease severity and mortality risk in antifibrotic therapy.

    Abstract Background: Malnutrition in cardiovascular disease is associated with poor prognosis, especially in patients with heart failure and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). High bleeding risk is also linked to coronary artery disease prognosis, including ACS. However, whether the extent of malnutrition and high bleeding risk have a cumulative impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with ACS who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention remains unclear.
    Methods: We analyzed 275 patients with ACS treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. The Controlling Nutritional Status score and Japanese version of the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk criteria (J-HBR) were retrospectively evaluated. The primary and secondary outcomes were adjusted using the inverse probability treatment weighting method.
    Results: The prevalence of moderate or severe malnutrition in this cohort was 16%. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly higher incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients who were moderately or severely malnourished than in those who were not. Notably, the incidence of these major events was similar between severely malnourished patients with J-HBR and those without.
    Conclusion: Moderate or severe malnutrition has a significant impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with ACS who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention.

    Abstract This study investigated the incidence and risk factors of perioperative clinical seizure and epilepsy in children after operation for CHD. We included 777 consecutive children who underwent operation from January 2013 to December 2016 at Kanagawa Children's Medical Center, Kanagawa, Japan. Perinatal, perioperative, and follow-up medical data were collected. Elastic net regression and mediation analysis were performed to investigate risk factors of perioperative clinical seizure and epilepsy. Anatomic CHD classification was performed based on the preoperative echocardiograms; cardiac surgery was evaluated using Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery 1. Twenty-three (3.0%) and 15 (1.9%) patients experienced perioperative clinical seizure and epilepsy, respectively. Partial regression coefficient with epilepsy as the objective variable for anatomical CHD classification, Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery 1, and the number of surgeries was 0.367, 0.014, and 0.142, respectively. The proportion of indirect effects on epilepsy via perioperative clinical seizure was 22.0, 21.0, and 33.0%, respectively. The 15 patients with epilepsy included eight cases with cerebral infarction, two cases with cerebral haemorrhage, and three cases with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy; white matter integrity was not found. Anatomical complexity of CHD, high-risk cardiac surgery, and multiple cardiac surgeries were identified as potential risk factors for developing epilepsy, with a low rate of indirect involvement via perioperative clinical seizure and a high rate of direct involvement independently of perioperative clinical seizure. Unlike white matter integrity, stroke and hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy were identified as potential factors for developing epilepsy.
