Improvement of liver histology in hepatic sarcoidosis due to treatment with corticosteroids and ursodeoxycholic acid: a case report
We report the case of a 48-year-old male with a history of pulmonary and ocular sarcoidosis. Non-caseating granulomas, identified histologically, are the most characteristic manifestation of sarcoidosis. Hepat...

Open AccessClinical Benefit of Switching from Low-Dose to High-Dose Empagliflozin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors ameliorate blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose from the kidneys, thus inc...

Open AccessTopological confinement of vortices in two-flavor dense QCD
We find a novel confinement mechanism in the two-flavor dense quark matter proposed recently, that consists of the 2SC condensates and the P-wave diquark condensates of d-quarks. This quark matter exhibiting colo...

Open AccessExtensive studies of the neutron star equation of state from the deep learning inference with the observational data augmentation
We discuss deep learning inference for the neutron star equation of state (EoS) using the real observational data of the mass and the radius. We make a quantitative comparison between the conventional polynomi...

Construction of a 6/5/9-membered tricyclic structure of cladiellins via radical-polar crossover reaction
A three-component coupling reaction of structurally simple 6–8 was successfully applied for expeditious synthesis of the 6/5/9-membered tricyclic structure 3 of cladieunicellin D (1) and klysimplexin U (2). Upon ...

Integration of Sound and Image Data for Detection of Sleep Apnea
To detect sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), we propose a method that integrates sound and image processing results using overnight sound and video data. In sound processing, snoring sounds are initially extracted us...

Automatic ROI construction for analyzing time–signal intensity curve in dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the breast
Our purpose in this study was to construct a 3-dimensional (3D) region of interest (ROI) for analyzing the time–signal intensity curve (TIC) semi-automatically in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (...
