Abstract
Case: The case is 86-year-old male hypertensive patient with anti-hypertensive drug for 5 years. He has been provided Amlodipine besilate 5mg at 0800h and doxazosin mesylate 2mg at 2300h for long. In June 2020, he noticed unstable fluctuation of Blood Pressure (BP) during morning, afternoon and night. Results: Then, he checked the circadian

Recent Perspectives for Combined Status of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Hiroshi Bando
Abstract
The combination of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has been a crucial problem. NAFLD means wide from Hepatic Steatosis (HS) to Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). NAFLD may be the predictor of causing Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). A dynamic association is found between NAFLD and Hepatic Insulin Res

The Importance of Time in Range (TIR) for Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in the Clinical Practice for Diabetes
Hiroshi Bando
Abstract
As to the development of treatment for diabetes, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) has been recently prevalent rapidly. By the analysis of real-time CGM, Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) has been used. It includes time in range (TIR, 70-180 mg/dL), time above range (TAR, >181mg/dL), time below range (TBR, <69 mg/dL), Glycemic Variabilit

Abstract
This study investigates the genetic relationship of the Mazu peoples on the east coast of China in the Taiwan Strait. Using partial and complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences, we compare Mazu with surrounding East Asia populations. Mazu shows no exclusive affinities with either Southeast or Northeast Asia. High genetic diversity and a ver

Characterization and Evaluation of Biofilm Formation by Klebsiella pneumonia MBB9 Isolated from Epilithic Biofilms of the Porter Brook River, Sheffield
Ghazay F Alotaibi and Mamdouh A Bukhari
Abstract
Microbes generally attach to surfaces and produce an Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) matrix. The exopolysaccharide production plays a role in biofilm protection against environmental stress factors. Biofilm-forming bacteria exhibit different physiological properties in their response to environmental influences compared with their planktoni

Various Influence for Nutritional Status by the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) Theory
Hiroshi Bando
Abstract
Among various problems for diet and nutrition worldwide, important concept has been Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) theory or Fetal origins of Adult Disease (FOAD). DOHaD means that predisposition to adult diseases has been formed in the interrelationship between genes and the environment during fertilization, embryonic, fet

Machado
Abstract
Introduction: Failure to Rescue (FTR) is the failure to prevent a patient’s death after a complication. It measures the ability of a hospital to prevent the death of patients who develop one or more complication that was not present at the time of admission. Therefore, the aim of this study is to review the factors that contribute to FTR, and

Perspectives of Music and Sports for Satisfactory Anti-Aging Daily Life
Yuko Takenaka, Seiji Konoike and Hiroshi
Bando
Abstract
Aging societies have been observed in Japan and other developed countries worldwide. In the light of anti-aging medicine, authors have continued several approaches such as Integrative Medicine (IM), music therapy, art therapy, frailty, rehabilitation, sports medicine and masters’ athletics. For successful aging, three important factors are n
