The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale was used to measure the high psychological distress (HPD) with cutoff scores of 16, 22, and 30. There were no significant differences in the prevalence of HPD between migrant and Japanese workers, and the sensitivity analysis with propensity score adjustment showed consistent results. However, when the cutoff point was set to 30, the risk of HPD in migrants decreased as their income increased compared to Japanese workers (Odds ratio=0.05, 95% Confidence interval=0.00, 0.82). While the healthy migrant effect may be beneficial in protecting migrant workers against the stressful migration process, the deficiency of a robust support system in Japanese society continues to impose psychological burdens on them. Moreover, mental health outcomes, including psychological distress, may vary due to heterogeneity within the migrant population. A Comprehensive enhancement of the receiving environment for immigrants and the establishment of a legal foundation for Japan's immigrant policies are required.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 1","pages":"13-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147325771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated age-related differences in factors linked to depressive symptoms. We analyzed 783 hemodialysis outpatients (582 aged ≥65; 201 <65). Depressive symptoms were defined as a Geriatric Depression Scale-5 score ≥2. Clinical data included CRP, grip strength, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Kt/V, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Intact-PTH, and self-reported stress. Prevalence was compared by Chi-square test. Associations in each age group were assessed by logistic regression. Depressive symptoms were less common in elderly (45.5%) than non-elderly patients (59.7%). Stress was significantly associated with depressive symptoms in non-elderly patients [OR: 2.42 (1.25-4.67)]. Low SPPB [OR: 0.92 (0.87-0.97)] and stress [OR: 2.01 (1.39-2.89)] were significant in elderly patients. Stress management was an important issue for both elderly and non-elderly hemodialysis patients. In particular, it was suggested that the importance of exercise therapy for reducing depressive symptoms may differ between elderly and non-elderly hemodialysis patients.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 1","pages":"35-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147326230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rehabilitation treatment targeting increased light-intensity physical activity (LPA) is typically implemented to address this limitation. An 81-year-old man with suspected MCNS complicated by stage I AKI was admitted to our hospital. The patient's short physical performance battery (SPPB) score was 10 points, while his total physical activity (TPA) was 411 steps per day. To increase his LPA, the patient performed resistance exercises in the sitting position and standing activities with support under supervision five times per week at low load and high frequency. Physical activity education with self-monitoring using an activity meter and check sheet was also implemented during the unmonitored periods. After uremia and other symptoms improved, aerobic and resistance exercises were added. At discharge, the patient's moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) increased from 0.1 to 3.2 minutes per day; his LPA increased from 5.1 to 34.6 minutes per day; and his TPA increased from 411 to 3,233 steps per day. His SPPB score improved from 10 to 12 points, while the motor component of the functional independence measure (FIM) increased from 66 to 82 points, leading to improved activities of daily living (ADL). These results indicate that LPA-focused rehabilitation treatment in older patients with MCNS and AKI is both effective and feasible, potentially contributing to improved physical activity and ADL and facilitating the transition to exercise therapy after clinical improvement.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 2","pages":"125-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148157268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the treatment for radiation-induced vascular stenosis remains undefined because of its distinct pathophysiology from that of atherosclerotic disease. Herein, we present a case of radiation-induced stenosis successfully treated with balloon dilatation, guided by the assessment of vessel wall thickness using contrast-enhanced vessel wall imaging (CE-VWI). A 49-year-old woman presented with transient left hemiparesis at an outpatient clinic. The patient had a right cavernous sinus meningioma and had undergone tumor resection followed by radiotherapy for residual tumor 2 years earlier. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed right cerebral infarction caused by severe stenosis of the right middle cerebral artery, leading to a diagnosis of radiation-induced vasculopathy. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was planned after CE-VWI demonstrated significant wall thickening at the stenosis site. The procedure resulted in clinical improvement, and the patient remained recurrence-free during follow-up. CE-VWI is a valuable tool for assessing vessel wall integrity and for determining the feasibility of angioplasty in patients with radiation-induced vascular stenosis.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 1","pages":"49-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147325699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated demographic and occupational factors associated with silicosis in workers in gold mines in Mongolia. This cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2024 at two private gold mining companies in Mongolia's western regional provinces. In total, 147 participants completed pre-administered questionnaires. Silicosis was diagnosed by chest X-rays, which were interpreted based on the International Labour Organization classification system. Associations between risk factors and silicosis were evaluated with logistic regression. The prevalence of silicosis was 16.3% (24 cases). Participants aged 30-39 years were at significantly higher risk than other age groups (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 5.40, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32-21.97). Those engaged in loading explosives and blasting had a 5.3-fold increased risk compared with those performing other tasks (95% CI 1.28-22.32). High cumulative exposure to dust, defined by longer working years and daily exposure hours, was strongly associated with silicosis (adjusted OR 5.52, 95% CI 1.19-25.52). Use of N95 masks did not demonstrate a statistically significant protective effect. Our findings highlight the need for enhanced silica exposure control measures. Possible measures include limiting working hours and cumulative exposure durations, and implementing engineering controls (e.g., ventilation and water suppression systems) to reduce airborne silica levels, especially for those engaged in loading explosives and blasting. Such interventions are important in reducing the burden of silicosis in the Mongolian gold mining industry.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"48 1","pages":"25-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147325702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
