The cases of 99 patients who underwent a laparoscopic (n=36) or open (n=63) hysterectomy and postoperative follow-up were examined. Abnormal vaginal cytology was detected in 13.9% (5/36) of the laparoscopic-surgery (LS) group and 14.3% (9/63) of the open-surgery (OS) group. A vaginal biopsy was performed at the physicians' discretion; one LS patient and six OS patients were diagnosed with vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia. The cumulative incidence of abnormal vaginal cytology at 3 years post-hysterectomy was 21.4% (LS group) and 20.5% (OS group), a nonsignificant difference. A multivariate analysis showed that age > 50 years was the only independent risk factor for abnormal vaginal cytology among the covariates examined including age; body mass index; histories of vaginal delivery, abdominal surgery, and smoking; and surgical approach (hazard ratio 8.11; 95% confidence interval 1.73-37.98; p=0.01). These results suggest that the occurrence of abnormal vaginal cytology after a hysterectomy may not be influenced by the laparoscopic procedure but is associated with older age.","PeriodicalId":7017,"journal":{"name":"Acta medica Okayama","volume":"77 6","pages":"627-634"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139037322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was designed to clarify the factors predicting colonoscopy-related pain. We evaluated 283 consecutive patients who completed a first-ever, total colonoscopy without sedatives or analgesics. The severity of pain symptoms was evaluated by a numeric rating scale (NRS) in a questionnaire immediately after the colonoscopy. Patient backgrounds and endoscopic findings were analyzed to evaluate their association with pain. Out of 283 patients, 53 scored their pain 0-1 on the NRS while 48 scored it 6-10. We defined the colonoscopies of the former and latter patients as painless and painful, respectively, and compared the two. Multivariate analyses revealed that low body weight (OR 4.95, 95%CI 1.89-12.99) and longer intubation time (OR 3.63, 95%CI 1.46-9.03) were significant risk factors for painful colonoscopy.

Eighty-seven patients who underwent surgery for acute thoracolumbar spinal injuries were assessed.

On the basis of the distance from the terminal end of the spinal cord to the narrowest level of the spinal canal, the narrowest levels were ordered as follows: the epiconus followed by the conus medullaris and cauda equina. The narrowest levels were the epiconus in 22 patients, conus medullaris in 37 patients, and cauda equina in 25 patients. On admission, significantly more patients had a narrowed epiconus of Frankel grades A-C than a narrowed cauda equina.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of intraoperative oxygen saturation (SpO2) and end-expiratory carbon dioxide (ETCO2) values with postoperative hypoxemia in elderly patients. The inclusion criteria were: 1) patients aged≥75 years; 2) underwent general anesthesia in non-cardiac surgery; 3) operative time longer than two hours; and 4) admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) following surgery performed between January and December 2019. Intraoperative SpO2 and ETCO2 values were collected every minute for the first two hours during surgery. The 253 patients were divided into two groups: SpO2≥92% and SpO2<92%. The time-weighted averages of intraoperative SpO2 and ETCO2 were used to compare differences between the two groups. The incidence of postoperative hypoxemia was 22.5%. For similar ventilator settings, patients with postoperative hypoxemia had lower intraoperative SpO2 and higher ETCO2 values. Sex, ASA classification, and intraoperative SpO2 were independent risk factors for postoperative hypoxemia. In conclusion, postoperative SpO2<92% was a frequent occurrence (> 20%) in elderly patients who underwent major non-cardiac surgery. Postoperative hypoxemia was associated with low intraoperative SpO2 and relatively higher ETCO2.","PeriodicalId":7017,"journal":{"name":"Acta medica Okayama","volume":"77 5","pages":"537-543"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71410095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RPF is categorized into idiopathic RPF with/without immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD), and secondary RPF. Identifying the underlying cause is challenging and often associated with delayed diagnosis or therapeutic interventions. We investigated RPF's clinical characteristics based on different etiologies and factors that may help distinguish the underlying causes. We analyzed the cases of 49 patients with RPF that was radiographically diagnosed at our institution (2008-2022). The cohort was 77.6% males; 75.5% had idiopathic RPF and 24.5% had secondary RPF. Among the idiopathic patients, 54.1% had IgG4-RD. The patients were likely to have abdominal pain, lower back pain/lumbago, and constitutional symptoms including generalized fatigue and fever. The idiopathic patients were likely to have higher serum IgG4 and IgG levels and lower serum C3 levels compared to secondary RPF. The IgG4-RPF patients were likely to have higher serum IgG4 levels and lower serum C-reactive protein, ferritin, and C3 levels compared to the idiopathic RPF patients without IgG4-RD. These findings might reflect underlying systemic inflammatory responses. Comprehensive laboratory testing, including serum inflammatory markers and immunological panels, is recommended for radiologically diagnosed RPF patients.","PeriodicalId":7017,"journal":{"name":"Acta medica Okayama","volume":"77 5","pages":"527-536"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71410160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
