Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is diagnosed by subjective clinical symptoms. We aimed to
establish an objective IBS prediction model based on gut microbiome analyses employing …

Endovascular treatment is now an alternative to surgery for the treatment of iliac artery
aneurysms (IAAs). A variety of minimally invasive therapeutic options are available (eg, coil …

Understanding hydrocarbon cycling in the subsurface is important in various disciplines
including climate science, energy resources and astrobiology. Mud volcanoes provide insights …

The geometry as well as bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur contributes to
fracture risk. How and the extent to which they change due to natural aging is not fully …

We determined the effect of risedronate on the trabecular microstructure of ovariectomized
rat tibiae, using micro-computed tomography, in order to investigate how changes in …

The purpose of this study was to establish reference ranges for gut microbial indices by
collecting real-world Japanese microbiome data from a Mykinso cohort. Although several large …

We investigated the ability of synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SR-CT) to
demonstrate trabecular microstructure, detail of trabecular surfaces, and mineralization of bones. …

We report a case of elastofibroma that occurred in both thighs and subscapular regions. The
MR signal intensity of the lesions was typical for elastofibroma. Although bilateral …

Estrogen deficiency causes reduction of bone mass and abnormal bone microarchitecture,
consequently reducing bone strength. Human parathyroid hormone (hPTH) (1-34) increases …

Hot spring associated phototrophic microbial mats are purely microbial communities, in which
phototrophic bacteria function as primary producers and thus shape the community. The …
