Registry-Based Assessment of Shunt Operation Methods and Outcomes in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (RASHOMON Study): Protocol for a Multicenter Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Registry-Based Assessment of Shunt Operation Methods and Outcomes in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (RASHOMON Study): Protocol for a Multicenter Prospective Observational Cohort Study

An estimated 12,900 new patients with i NPH visit health care facilities annually in Japan [10], suggesting that the number of potential patients is even higher. The world’s first guidelines for the management of i NPH were published in Japan in 2004, and several advancements have since been made in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition [11]. The characteristic brain imaging findings are disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid space hydrocephalus (DESH) [11-13].

Perceptions and Intentions to Use Generative AI Among First-Year Medical Students in Japan: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Perceptions and Intentions to Use Generative AI Among First-Year Medical Students in Japan: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

In Japan, although some educators have adopted Gen AI, information on how incoming medical students educated during the Gen AI boom perceive these tools remains limited [4]. Thus, we explored Gen AI use, learning behaviors, and perceptions of first-year medical students in Japan.

Peer Review of “Population Interaction in the Jōmon Society via 3D Data of Human Crania: Geometric Morphometric Study”

Peer Review of “Population Interaction in the Jōmon Society via 3D Data of Human Crania: Geometric Morphometric Study”

One major reservation is in the analytical design; the present one seems suitable for the study target, which aims to clarify the temporal (between Jōmon phases) and geographical (between regions in Japan) variations of the Jōmon crania. The authors concluded that there were pronounced morphological variations within individual populations versus smaller variations between different phases and geographical regions (from the Abstract). Unfortunately, this seems unclear to me.

Population Interaction in the Jōmon Society via 3D Data of Human Crania: Geometric Morphometric Study

The map is based on the color elevation map published by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, with information on the sea area obtained from the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department, Japan Coast Guard, and it was modified by author HN using QGIS (3.20.3).

Factors Predicting Information Overload During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Digital Age: Longitudinal Study

Factors Predicting Information Overload During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Digital Age: Longitudinal Study

We conducted a longitudinal study in Japan using a web-based survey administered at 2 time points: in August 2020, soon after the WHO’s declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 1 year later, in August 2021. The state of emergency declared by the Japanese government was in effect at both times. A sample was drawn from a panel of 2.2 million Japanese residents using the platform of the research firm Rakuten Insight, Inc.

Comparison of Japanese Mpox (Monkeypox) Health Education Materials and Texts Created by Artificial Intelligence: Cross-Sectional Quantitative Content Analysis Study

Comparison of Japanese Mpox (Monkeypox) Health Education Materials and Texts Created by Artificial Intelligence: Cross-Sectional Quantitative Content Analysis Study

Japan has reported 247 cases and 1 death [1]. Outbreaks of mpox appear to occur disproportionately among men who have had sexual contact with other men [2], but infection can also occur through close and prolonged physical contact, regardless of sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation [3]. The increasing availability of health education materials online has transformed public health education, particularly regarding topics related to sexual health, where accessibility and anonymity are important [4].

User Engagement, Demographics, and Health Status of the My ME-BYO Record, A Personal Health Management Mobile App: Retrospective Study

User Engagement, Demographics, and Health Status of the My ME-BYO Record, A Personal Health Management Mobile App: Retrospective Study

The ME-BYO concept, proposed by the Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan, emphasizes the intermediate “predisease” state (ME-BYO) in health management (Figure 1) [1,2]. The My ME-BYO Record app, launched in 2017, records health and medication data and tracks physical activity. In 2020, the ME-BYO index was integrated to promote behavioral change by visualizing ME-BYO status (Figure 1) [2].

Public Attitudes and Predictors of Public Awareness of Personal Digital Health Data Sharing for Research: Cross-Sectional Study in Japan

Public Attitudes and Predictors of Public Awareness of Personal Digital Health Data Sharing for Research: Cross-Sectional Study in Japan

In Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare has formulated the “Medical Digital Transformation: Vision 2030,” a strategy for promoting medical digital transformation that actively supports the usage of health and medical care data [19]. In Europe, the General Personal Data Protection Regulation governs the use of personal data, including patients’ electronic medical records.
