Journal ArticleDOI

Takahiro Imaizumi,Masahiko Ando,Masahiro Nakatochi,Yoshinari Yasuda,Hiroyuki Honda,Yachiyo Kuwatsuka,Sawako Kato,Takaaki Kondo,Masamitsu Iwata,Toru Nakashima,Hiroshi Yasui,Hideki Takamatsu,Hiroshi Okajima,Yasuko Yoshida,Shoichi Maruyama +14 more
TL;DR: Average dietary energy in lunch, rs3782886, and rs696217 were associated with obesity, andrs378 2886 was associated with other metabolic abnormalities, and the odds ratios of overweight and obesity also increased.
Journal Article
A pilot study on inducement of smoking cessation by a simple 5A (asking, advice, assess, assist, and arrange) approach at outpatient clinics.
Kosuke Takahashi,Harumi Saso,Hideo Saka,Masamitsu Iwata,Izumi Hashimoto,Mariko Naito,Nobuyuki Hamajima +6 more
TL;DR: There were no differences among the three modes of "5A", but 7.7% of the 571 outpatients visiting respiratory divisions quit smoking with this simple " 5A", which may indicate that this simple practice at clinics is useful for smoking cessation strategy, although randomized trials are now required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between prostate-specific antigen and obesity in prostate cancer screening: Analysis of a large cohort in Japan
TL;DR: Obesity seems to have very limited influence on prostate cancer screening in this population of Japanese men, but when considering indications for prostatic biopsy in obese men, they should be aware that the hemodilution effect might reduce PSA levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three cases of thymic hyperplasia associated with hyperthyroidism
Kaoru Kondo,Toru Kobayashi,Toshihiko Urakami,Toshio Kasugai,Masamitsu Iwata,Yasuteru Sugino,Yumiko Suzuki,Naohiro Shibata,Miho Usui +8 more
TL;DR: When patients with thymic masses and hyperthyroidism are encountered, they should be given anti-thyroid medication and observe the thymus for some time before resorting to surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of interactions between dietary salt consumption and hypertension-susceptibility genetic polymorphisms with blood pressure among Japanese male workers
Takahiro Imaizumi,Masahiko Ando,Masahiro Nakatochi,Shoichi Maruyama,Yoshinari Yasuda,Hiroyuki Honda,Yachiyo Kuwatsuka,Sawako Kato,Takaaki Kondo,Masamitsu Iwata,Toru Nakashima,Hiroshi Yasui,Hideki Takamatsu,Hiroshi Okajima,Yasuko Yoshida,Seiichi Matsuo +15 more
TL;DR: The effect of salt consumption on BP differed by genotype and the interaction between salt consumption and SNPs with systolic BP showed a significant association in NPPA rs5063 (Val32Met) and a marginal trend toward significance in rs4961 and rs1050450.
