Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

human summary = title: Human security and universal health insurance Here the concern is to insure against falling below an adequate threshold of human capabilities-in the case of a person''s health, a minimum acceptable level. Without health insurance, a severe medical crisis that threatens survival, for example, can have disastrous fi nancial implications-that can aff ect human security in many other dimensions. Universal health insurance thus contributes directly to furthering human security. 3, [8] [9] [10] [11] Indeed, universal health coverage in Japan, now in existence for 50 years, is indicative of the priority that Japan accords to human security. Over the decades, Japan has also undertaken policies to advance human security in other dimensions, such as basic education, social protection, and economic safety nets. Internationally, Japan has used the concept of human security to guide assistance to developing countries through bilateral aid and multilateral policies. A central manifestation of these actions is the country''s commitment to universal health insurance. doi = 10.1016/s0140-6736(11)61148-3 id = cord-355567-60sfv60p author = Azuma, Kenichi title = Environmental factors involved in SARS-CoV-2 transmission: effect and role of indoor environmental quality in the strategy for COVID-19 infection control date = 2020-11-03 keywords = COVID-19; CoV-2; Japan; SARS; air; ventilation summary = Recently, 36 researchers insisted on the potential risk of indoor airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and the importance of sufficient and effective ventilation, particle filtration, and air sterilization as infection control measures inside buildings [43] .

Having analysed Japan''s financial stimulus in responding to COVID-19 response from section 2 to 3, we turn to examine how integrated financial and economic stimulus can foster a rights-based, low carbon, resilient and sustainable recovery. Specifically concerning fiscal countermeasures to COVID-19 and its economic fallout, failure to include climate action risks accelerated global warming. The 2030 Agenda thus embodies the shared responsibility and global solidarity essential to making COVID-19 recovery a major step in the long journey back from planetary boundaries and towards sustainable and resilient communities. doi = 10.1016/j.ijdrr.2020.101808 id = cord-284546-cbbtrksq author = Foxton, Richard M. title = Current concepts for operatively managing carious lesions extending into dentine using bioactive and adhesive direct restorative materials date = 2020-09-20 keywords = Japan; composite; dentine summary = It looks sequentially at the operative steps involved including remineralisation with bioactive cements, bonding to caries-affected dentine including smear-layer modification using HOCl, creation of an acid-base resistance zone,steps to optimise the performance of all-in-one adhesives, and incremental placement of direct composite resin to improve bond strengths to cavity floor dentine. The following topics will be discussed: operative management of caries extending into dentine, remineralisation with bioactive cements, bonding to caries-affected dentine including smear-layer modification using HOCl, creation of an acid-base resistance zone, steps to optimise the performance of all-in-one adhesives and incremental placement of direct composite resin to improve bond strengths to cavity floor dentine. Having now discussed how we could provide "painless" dentistry by careful removal of soft, caries-infected dentine, seal the cavity and prevent caries progression by adhesive enamel bonding and how the hybrid layer and an acid-base resistant zone offer the ability to prevent primary and secondary caries, it is clear that carefully applied adhesive direct composite resin restorations can offer the patient additional benefits by their ability to fill minimally prepared cavities, offer aesthetically pleasing results and good long-term durability [8] . doi = 10.1016/j.jdsr.2020.08.003 id = cord-314634-udtoutew author = Furuse, Yuki title = Clusters of Coronavirus Disease in Communities, Japan, January–April 2020 date = 2020-09-17 keywords = Japan; case summary = We analyzed 3,184 cases of coronavirus disease in Japan and identified 61 case-clusters in healthcare and other care facilities, restaurants and bars, workplaces, and music events.

Most of the well-known infectious ''crowd'' diseases appear to have developed during this transition; although the ''leap'' from animal species to humans can still occur today, of course, as HIV and SARS attest: writing before the recent SARS outbreak McMichael notes: ''in southern China, the intimate pig/duck farming culture creates a particularly efficient environment in which multiple strains of avian viruses infect pigs. The persuasive force of this book comes more from the weight of its examples of social-ecological processes influencing patterns of health and disease in populations than from any systematic theory describing these relationships.

Since the 1990s, the foreign direct investment (FDI) outflow from Japan and other newly industrialized economies (NIEs) in Asia have contributed to regional production networks with substantial share global demand for electronic equipment, transport equipment, and machinery. The composite of Japan''s manufacturing and population began to have structural change with higher input of electronic equipment in communication, energy, and agriculture, resulting in more economic integration with the global supply chain. doi = 10.1007/s40847-020-00113-1 id = cord-016950-fnb3yc45 author = Humphreys, Brad title = The History and Formation of East Asian Sports Leagues date = 2014-08-20 keywords = Asia; China; Japan; League; NPB summary = Humphreys and Watanabe (2012) noted that East Asian professional sports leagues follow a "hybrid" model of organization where these leagues adopt the rules, regulations, and structure used by prominent North American or European leagues playing the same sport. Although some Major League Baseball teams are owned by large corporations-notably the Seattle Mariners, purchased by Japanese consumer electronics giant Nintendo in 1992-some other major North American professional sports leagues, and some European football leagues, explicitly ban corporate ownership of teams. Like Japanese baseball and football, the CBA faces the problem of top Chinese players moving overseas to play in the NBA and other professional leagues around the world. The CSL has a structure similar to the other football leagues in Asia, following a hybrid model that copies the organization of professional football in Europe, while following the East Asian practice of corporate ownership of teams. doi = 10.1007/978-3-319-10037-1_1 id = cord-339673-hk1438c3 author = Imanishi, Tamami title = An ethnic model of Japanese overseas tourism companies date = 2007-04-30 keywords = Japan; company; japanese; market summary = doi = 10.1016/j.annals.2007.01.002 id = cord-275058-61eof7y8 author = Inoue, Hiroyasu title = The propagation of economic impacts through supply chains: The case of a mega-city lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19 date = 2020-09-15 keywords = Japan; Tokyo summary = doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0239251 id = cord-334683-q4xh8xts author = Kano, Shigeyuki title = Trends in malaria cases in Japan date = 2003-12-04 keywords = Japan; japanese; malaria summary = doi = 10.1016/j.actatropica.2003.10.003 id = cord-269640-0u3e1493 author = Kasai, Takeshi title = Research and control of parasitic diseases in Japan: current position and future perspectives date = 2007-03-09 keywords = Japan; disease; japanese summary = doi = 10.1016/j.pt.2007.02.011 id = cord-010929-d598h08w author = Kashiwagi, Hirokazu title = Reference guide for management of adult immune thrombocytopenia in Japan: 2019 Revision date = 2020-01-02 keywords = ITP; Japan; TPO; immune; patient; platelet summary = Patients who do not achieve the therapeutic target with corticosteroids or require long-term administration of high-dose corticosteroids, or patients unable to tolerate corticosteroids due to complications or adverse drug reactions, are transitioned to second-line treatment. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin, methylprednisolone pulse therapy, or platelet transfusion should be considered for patients with severe bleeding symptoms, marked thrombocytopenia or who urgently require an increase in their platelet count because of surgery or for some other reason. In patients with underlying diseases (hypertension,diabetes,active infections, chronic infections,impaired immune status,osteoporosis,dys lipidemia,peptic ulcer, etc.) with a high probability of problematic adverse drug reactions associated with corticosteroid treatment, it is recommended that corticosteroids be started while controlling complications. However, the percentage of patients who had a partial response with a platelet count of 30,000-50,000/μL was 57.6% in the rituximab group and 46.7% in the standard treatment group, with a relative risk of 1.26 (95% CI: 0.95-1.67, p = 0.11), indicating that there was no significant difference in the bleeding inhibition effect between the two groups. doi = 10.1007/s12185-019-02790-z id = cord-267953-d2mpjkxh author = Kayama, Misa title = Acculturation and a sense of belonging of children in U.S. schools and communities: The case of Japanese families date = 2020-10-15 keywords = Ibasho; Japan; U.S.; japanese summary = doi = 10.1016/j.childyouth.2020.105612 id = cord-341130-pq71u2kh author = Kim, Jewoo title = Role of tourism price in attracting international tourists: The case of Japanese inbound tourism from South Korea date = 2017-03-31 keywords = Japan; Korea; japanese; tourism summary = However, results regarding the effects of price variables (e.g.relative prices, exchange rates, transport cost) on international tourism demand vary widely. Moreover, recent changes in economic circumstances such as currency depreciation resulting from unconventional monetary policy (US, Eurozone, Japan), shifts in exchange rate policy (Switzerland, Singapore, China), and drastic drops in oil prices triggered by expanded supplies of shale gas may substantially influence the cost of travel to the countries changing international tourism demand. The living cost variables represented by relative price (RPRC t ) and exchange rate (EXC t ) accounted for a significant amount of the changes in Japanese inbound tourism from Korea. The results of this study showed that separate inclusion of relative prices and exchange rates was more effective in accounting for the changes in Japanese inbound tourism from Korea than a price variable combining these two price indicators. doi = 10.1016/j.jdmm.2016.03.002 id = cord-018839-yfaji9cv author = Kim, Yong-kyun title = Disaster Theory date = 2017-07-11 keywords = Act; FEMA; Japan; Korea; Management; Safety; Theory; USA; disaster; response summary = doi = 10.1007/978-981-10-4789-3_2 id = cord-292451-2tpef19n author = Komiya, Kosaku title = The COVID-19 pandemic and the true incidence of tuberculosis in Japan date = 2020-07-07 keywords = Japan summary = title: The COVID-19 pandemic and the true incidence of tuberculosis in Japan A recent report in the present journal focused on the decreased incidence of tuberculosis during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan. 1 A declining trend in influenza following the COVID-19 outbreak has already been indicated in Brazil, Singapore and Japan. These prevention measures for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission may have contributed to a decline in many types of infectious diseases. 1 However, whether or not the decline in tuberculosis incidence is actually due to these prevention measures, as with other respiratory infectious diseases, is unclear. 6 As such, the infection control measures enacted to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission a short time after the COVID-19 outbreak are not expected to influence the trend in tuberculosis incidence.

The neo-liberal national policies that stimulated urban renewal through the deregulation of urban planning, building standards, and the housing market (e.g., the Urban Renaissance Special Measure Law of 2002) strongly supported the re-growth of central Tokyo from the beginning of the twenty-first century onward. In this chapter, we examine how urban and housing policies have affected urban spatial structures, caused a divide between the city center and the suburbs, and transformed the urban lifestyle in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The Comprehensive National Development Plan of 1969 stimulated economic and urban growth in seven major metropolitan areas (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka) by expanding high-speed transportation systems nationwide. doi = 10.1007/978-981-15-4202-2_2 id = cord-258777-9jxvngvz author = Kunii, Osamu title = The Okinawa Infectious Diseases Initiative date = 2006-12-22 keywords = IDI; Japan; disease summary = doi = 10.1016/j.pt.2006.12.008 id = cord-289422-5z012sr6 author = Kuniya, Toshikazu title = Prediction of the Epidemic Peak of Coronavirus Disease in Japan, 2020 date = 2020-03-13 keywords = Japan summary = doi = 10.3390/jcm9030789 id = cord-306720-86ovj7xg author = Kurita, Junko title = Forecast of the COVID-19 outbreak, collapse of medical facilities, and lockdown effects in Tokyo, Japan date = 2020-04-06 keywords = Japan; preprint summary = title: Forecast of the COVID-19 outbreak, collapse of medical facilities, and lockdown effects in Tokyo, Japan Method: Data of Tokyo patients with symptoms during January 14 − March 28, 2020 were used to formulate a susceptible−infected−recovered (SIR) model using three age classes and to estimate the basic reproduction number (R0).

METHODS: Employing a statistical model that is considered to capture the data-generating process of the outbreak and virus surveillance, maximum likelihood estimation of the asymptomatic ratio was implemented. RESULTS: Assuming that all norovirus outbreaks (n = 55) were the result of random sampling from an identical distribution and ignoring genogroup and genotype specificities, the asymptomatic ratio was estimated at 32.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 27.7–36.7). The present study aims to estimate the asymptomatic ratio of norovirus infection, reanalyzing foodborne outbreak data with laboratory testing in Japan, along with other parameters, including virus shedding frequency and the risk of infection. doi = 10.2188/jea.je20170040 id = cord-297724-xoqrc3xo author = Miyaji, Kazuki title = Large-scale survey of adverse reactions to canine non-rabies combined vaccines in Japan date = 2012-01-15 keywords = Japan; dog summary = doi = 10.1016/j.vetimm.2011.12.023 id = cord-295201-u2dola34 author = Morimoto, Konosuke title = The Burden and Etiology of Community-Onset Pneumonia in the Aging Japanese Population: A Multicenter Prospective Study date = 2015-03-30 keywords = Japan; pneumonia summary = doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0122247 id = cord-280937-9z37ob31 author = Morimoto, Tomoko title = Assessment of intervention strategies against a novel influenza epidemic using an individual-based model date = 2009-11-26 keywords = Japan; STAP; tap summary = doi = 10.1007/s12199-009-0122-9 id = cord-016105-jkaxemmb author = Nakao, Mutsuhiro title = Prevention and Psychological Intervention in Depression and Stress-Related Conditions date = 2011 keywords = Japan; health; patient summary = doi = 10.1007/978-4-431-53889-9_34 id = cord-300123-fzijbney author = Nemoto, Manabu title = Low prevalence of equine coronavirus in foals in the largest thoroughbred horse breeding region of Japan, 2012–2014 date = 2015-09-22 keywords = Hidaka; Japan summary = doi = 10.1186/s13028-015-0149-4 id = cord-304432-9cdf6qpk author = Nishimoto, Y. title = Curve-fitting approach for COVID-19 data and its physical background date = 2020-07-04 keywords = Japan summary = doi = 10.1101/2020.07.02.20144899 id = cord-009608-bvalr9bl author = Nomura, Shuhei title = Tracking Japan’s development assistance for health, 2012–2016 date = 2020-04-15 keywords = DAH; Global; Health; Japan; ODA summary = At the joint session of Finance and Health Ministers of the Group of 20 (G20) held in Osaka, Japan in June 2019, the "G20 Shared Understanding on the Importance of UHC Financing in Developing Countries" was confirmed, and agreement was reached to accelerate our global efforts to promote UHC through fair, equitable and preferential use of domestic resources and further invest in primary health care (PHC) services [2] .

These limited data suggest no significant ITP risk following vaccinations or simultaneous vaccination in any age group, including infants. In this case-control study, we aimed to determine the ITP risk after live, inactivated and simultaneous vaccination in Japan. To measure this exposure, participating physicians who treated case (ITP) and control (other diseases) patients completed questionnaires covering retrospective information on vaccination history and other characteristics.

After applying a multiple imputation on all the study variables, a logistic regression generalized estimating equation after adjustment for age, sex, mechanism of trauma, and the injury severity score as covariates and hospitals as a cluster assessed an association between quartile of patient volume in intensive care unit and hospital mortality. doi = 10.1007/s00068-020-01343-y id = cord-011062-ukz4hnmy author = nan title = Poster date = 2020-03-11 keywords = BMI; Center; DXA; Department; Fried; Geriatric; Group; Health; Hospital; Index; Japan; MNA; SPPB; Sarcopenia; University; adult; age; background; frailty; low; method; muscle; objective; old; patient; physical; result; study; year summary = Ming-Yueh Chou 1,3 , Ying-Hsin Hsu 1 , Yu-Chun Wang 1 , Chih-Kuang Liang 1,3 , Li-Ning Peng 2,4 , Liang-Kung Chen 2,4 , Yu-Te Lin 1 ((1) Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan; (2) Aging and Health Research Center, National Yang Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan; (3) Department of Geriatric Medicine, National Yang Ming University School of Medicine, Taipei, Taiwan; (4) Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan) Background: Older people with frailty are at risk of adverse outcomes, such as falls, functional decline and mortality, and multi-domain intervention program may prevent those. Conclusion: Our study showed that a multicomponent exercise program is effective for posthospitalization patients because after 24-week intervention there were significant reductions in frailty and improving results in muscle strength and physical performance. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of 757 communitydwelling older adults who completed multi-domain geriatric screen assessing for social vulnerability, mood, cognition, functional performance, nutrition, physical frailty (FRAIL) and sarcopenia (SARC-F). doi = 10.14283/jfa.2020.9 id = cord-014685-ihh30q6f author = nan title = Posters P788 - P999 date = 2005-09-21 keywords = Department; France; Institute; Japan; RNA; University; cell; dna; membrane; protein; structure; study summary = This study has attempted to analyse the structural properties of membrane peptides and proteins through the use of model systems that have been designed to mimic their natural counterparts: Podlubnaya 2 1 Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics RAS, 2 Pushchino State University Amyloid brils are formed by proteins or their peptides in the result of a conformational transition from alpha helix into beta-sheet structure. Analysis of the results of such studies indicate that folding of SNase fragments is dominated by developing the local and non-local nucleation sites from native-like secondary structures and by intensifying the longrange interactions of residues at nucleation sites with residues further removed in sequence. The results show that at different pH values the aggregation processes of both proteins follow different pathways determined by the variations in the native structure and by the details of the involved conformational changes. doi = 10.1007/s00249-005-0504-x id = cord-014992-w9cg819b author = nan title = Spotlight on Osaka date = 2009-09-23 keywords = Center; Institute; Japan; NIBIO; OBI; Osaka; University; cell; japanese; research summary = doi = 10.1038/nj0260 id = cord-015569-vy49r1zd author = nan title = Abstracts from the 45(th) Annual Meeting of Japanese Association for the Stusy of Taste and Smell (JASTS 2011), Kanazawa, Japan, October 5-7(th), 2011 (The president of the meeting was Dr. Takaki Miwa, Kanazawa Medical University) date = 2012-05-17 keywords = Japan; TBD; cell; food; mouse; odor; olfactory; patient; receptor; result; study; taste summary = doi = 10.1093/chemse/bjs052 id = cord-023049-fio7cjj5 author = nan title = 2017 Peripheral Nerve Society Meeting July 8–12, 2017 Sitges, Barcelona, Spain date = 2017-06-22 keywords = AMAN; Barré; CIDP; CMT; CSA; Center; Charcot; DRG; Department; EMG; FAP; France; GBS; GM1; Guillain; Hospital; IENFD; IVIG; Institute; Italy; Japan; MMN; MRC; MRI; Marie; Medical; Medicine; NCS; National; Neurology; Neuropathy; PMP22; PNS; School; Schwann; Singapore; TTR; Tooth; USA; University; cmt1a; mag; nerve; patient; study summary = Clinical efficacy (Medical Research Council sum score, 10-m walk, modified Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment score, Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale, Romberg test) and patient-reported outcomes (36-item Short Form Health Survey , Life Quality Index [LQI] ) were assessed at baseline and at regular intervals until the final visit (10-14 months after switching). To explore the issue of early biomarkers in FAP, we performed skin biopsy and compared IENF density with parameters of nerve conduction studies (NCS) and quantitative sensory testing (QST) on 36 subjects (23 men, aged 55.1 ± 11.1 years) with genetic confirmation of TTR-A97S: 17 patients and 19 carriers. Results: The Gly112Ser mutation causing CMT1C is a mild form of CMT, as patients walked on time, had less weakness than those with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease type 1A (CMT1A), had a Charcot Marie Tooth neuropathy score (CMTNS) indicative of mild disease, and had faster ulnar and median motor nerve conduction velocities compared to those with CMT1A. doi = 10.1111/jns.12225 id = cord-257167-rz4r5sj7 author = nan title = Abstracts for the 29th Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society (Neuroscience2006) date = 2006-12-31 keywords = Anatomy; BDNF; BSI; Biology; Brain; CA1; CNS; CREST; Center; Chiba; Department; Dept; Div; Division; Engineering; Fos; GABA; GFP; Graduate; Hiroshi; Institute; JST; Japan; KAKENHI; Kobe; Kyoto; LTD; LTP; Laboratory; Life; Medical; Medicine; NMDA; Nagoya; National; Neuroscience; Niigata; Okazaki; Osaka; PS1A; PS2P; PS3A; Physiology; Purkinje; RIKEN; Research; Saitama; Sato; School; Science; Sendai; Takashi; Technology; Tohoku; Tokyo; Tsukuba; USA; University; Wako; activity; cell; effect; mouse; neuron; neuronal; ps3p; response; result; study summary = SY1-3-11-3 SAD: A novel kinase implicated in phosphoproteome at the presynaptic active zone Toshihisa Ohtsuka Department of Clinical and Molecular Pathology, Faculty of Medicine/Graduate School of Medicine, University of Toyama, Toyama, Japan SAD is a serine/threonine kianse, which has been shown to regulate various neuronal functions during development, including clustering synaptic vesicles, maturation of synapses, and axon/dendrite polarization: these have recently been revealed by genetic studies in C. The results suggest that EAAT4 plays a major role in regulating the concentration of CF transmitters, possibly glutamate, in the route of its extrasynaptic diffusion, and determining the degree of CF-induced inhibition of GABA release from BCs depending on the regional difference of EAAT4 expression in postsynaptic PCs.
