Chronic vasculitis is considered to be associated with future cardiovascular events. Here, we present major cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCT...
Article
This paper introduces a novel approach to compute the numerical fluxes at the cell boundaries for a cell-centered conservative numerical scheme. Explicit gradients used in deriving the reconstruction polynomia...
Article
The hammering method used by inspectors is generally applied to inspection of looseness of bolted parts. This method entails active sensing through the input of an excitation signal produced by the inspectors,...
Article
Coronary catheterization by a distal radial approach at the site of the anatomical snuffbox has recently been reported to be both safe and useful. No data are available on the diameter of the distal radial art...

Unfortunately, the Fig. 1 was published incorrectly in the original publication of the article. The correct figure is as below.
Article
Several studies have reported that elevated triglyceride (TG) levels may be more strongly associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in females than in males. We examined gender differe...
Article
It is not yet clear whether the discordance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) predicts the follow-up clinical outcome (major adverse cardio...

The hyperbolic method initially introduced by Nishikawa (J Comput Phys 227:315–352, 2007, [1]) for solving the diffusion equation is extended to a two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. The approach is ...
Article
BK-UM (CRM197) is a mutant form of diphtheria toxin and a specific inhibitor of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF). We assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics, recommended dose, ...

Article
We hypothesized that cholesterol efflux capacity is more useful than the lipid profile as a marker of the presence and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, we investigated the associations...
Chapter
This article reviews “plasma bonding” of plastic films. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films can be bonded directly by oxygen plasma irradiation and heat-press at low temperatures of 100–160 °C. Functional g...
Chapter
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is one of the most powerful techniques to deposit thin films of multielemental materials such as electronic functional oxides. The PLD is a quite simple and convenient technique, ...
Article
The measurement of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality could be useful for identifying patients who have an increased risk of coronary restenosis after stent implantation. In the present study, we elu...
Article
Smoking promotes arteriosclerosis and is one of the most important coronary risk factors. However, few studies have investigated the association between smoking habits and the severity of coronary stenosis as ...
Article
It is not known the relationships between a difference in systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic BP (DBP) between arms by synchronal measurement and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), and betwe...
Article
Existing communication infrastructures may be unavailable in the aftermath of a disaster. Under these circumstances, it is difficult to share information, such as text, image, and audio data, in the areas wher...
Article
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has gained increasing attention in clinical practice, particularly during coronary angiography (CAG). However, some “bioequivalent” generic (GE) drugs are less effective than...
Article
This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of additional antihypertensive therapy with angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB; olmesartan or valsartan) after successful stent implantatio...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Motivated by the failure of current finite-volume(FV) codes in accurately predicting hypersonic heat transfer rate on unstructured grids[1], we have been studying schemes based on multidimensional upwinding, o...
