Recidivism rates are also high for sex offenders (27.7% for rape and 32.3% for sexual battery) [2,3], so there are efforts to prevent repeat offenses in Japan. Although sex offenses are often committed by people with intellectual disabilities, nearly all rehabilitation programs are designed for individuals with no such disabilities [4], and there is insufficient treatment and support for offenders as they reenter society. We therefore developed a rehabilitation program that can also be used with sex offenders that have intellectual and mental disabilities.","PeriodicalId":91880,"journal":{"name":"Integrative clinical medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67470117","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}

The objective of our study was to evaluate factors that affect digestibility of rice and corroborate in vitro estimated Glycaemic Index (GI) with clinically evaluated GI. We hypothesised that in vitro digestibility and thus estimation of GI may be impacted by multiple parameters including amylose content, particle size and method of cooking. In this study, a commonly consumed South Indian white rice variety, was evaluated for various factors that affect in vitro digestibility. Our results suggest amylose content and particle size of rice to be inversely related to digestibility and estimated Glycaemic Index (GI). Of the five different commonly followed consumer cooking methods tested, electric cooking method increased in vitro digestibility. GI was evaluated in fifty healthy volunteers with the selected variety cooked by an optimized method, showed a high GI of 70 ± 3 (SEM). This study thus extends the current knowledge on factors affecting in vitro digestibility of selected variety of rice and suggests an important role of consumer processing methods.","PeriodicalId":91880,"journal":{"name":"Integrative clinical medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67470370","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}

The impact of the underlying cardiac disease on success rate of epicardial left atrial ablation after cardiac surgery is not consistently investigated. Success rate of epicardial left atrial ablation after cardiac surgery were analysed in 30 patients, who intraoperatively received an event recorder. Therapeutic success was evaluated one year postoperatively. Furthermore, long-term survival after five years was investigated. Patients with isolated coronary artery bypass graft (n=17) were compared to patients with aortic valve replacement with or without combination with coronary artery bypass graft (n=13). Results: There was no significant difference between both groups in demographic, intraoperative and postoperative variables. One year after aortic valve replacement, the proportion of patients with a stable sinus rhythm was significantly lower than after coronary artery bypass grafting only (23.1% vs. 64.7%, p=0.033). If preoperatively paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was diagnosed, the success rate after coronary artery bypass grafting (77.8%) as well as aortic valve replacement (25.0%) were higher. Five-year survival rate after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting was 82.4% and after aortic valve replacement was 100%. Conclusions: Epicardial left atrial ablation is a good treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing an isolated CABG. Due to the low chance of success in patients undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement or combined intervention with CABG, the epicardial ablation rather not to be performed. Fortunately, a satisfying overall five-year survival rate could be seen.","PeriodicalId":91880,"journal":{"name":"Integrative clinical medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67471038","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}
