Upconverting near‐infrared light detection in lead halide perovskite with core–shell lanthanide nanoparticles
Under the JST Strategic Basic Research Program PRESTO, Associate Professor Ayumi Ishii of Teikyo University of Science with her team members has developed a new near-infrared light sensor by using a material that converts weak near-infrared light to visible light.
Near-infrared light is used in a wide range of applications on a daily basis, such as in infrared cameras (night vision cameras), infrared communication (wireless communication), optical fiber communication, remote control, and biometric authentication. The detection of weak light in the near-infrared region and improvement of sensitivity are indispensable for the advancement in optical communication technology, medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and other fields.
Compound semiconductors (e.g., InGaAs) having an optimal absorption band of 900–1700 nm, are used to detect light in the near-infrared region. However, these systems are expensive because of their complicated manufacturing process that involves the use of rare metals and is limited by noise interference. Moreover, such semiconductors do not exhibit visible light detection accuracy comparable to that achieved using silicon (Si) and other compounds.

Taking good care of your teeth may be good for your brain
“Tooth loss and gum disease, which is inflammation of the tissue around the teeth that can cause shrinkage of the gums and loosening of the teeth, are very common, so evaluating a potential link with dementia is incredibly important,” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, PhD, DDS, of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. “Our study found that these conditions may play a role in the health of the brain area that controls thinking and memory, giving people another reason to take better care of their teeth.” The study involved 172 people with an average age of 67 who did not have memory problems at the beginning of the study. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure volume of the hippocampus at the beginning of the study and again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for gum disease by looking at periodontal probing depth, a measurement of the gum tissue. Healthy readings are from one to three millimeters. Mild gum disease involves probing depths of three or four millimeters in several areas, while severe gum disease involves probing depths of five or six millimeters in several areas as well as more bone loss and can cause teeth to become loose and eventually fall out. Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage in the left hippocampus. However, for people with severe gum disease having more teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage in the same area of the brain. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equivalent to nearly one year of brain aging. Conversely, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equivalent to 1.3 years of brain aging. “These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just retaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that retaining teeth with severe gum disease is associated with brain atrophy. Controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and teeth with severe gum disease may need to be extracted and replaced with appropriate prosthetic devices.” Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. Another limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be generalizable to other locations. The study was supported by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology; Keio University; Japan Arteriosclerosis Prevention Fund; Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare; Teikyo University; Pfizer Japan; Bayer Yakuhin; Chugai Pharmaceutical; Daiichi Sankyo; Astellas Pharma; Takeda Pharmaceutical; Health Care Science Institute; Health Science Center; and Takeda Science Foundation.

(via Riding the Highlands - A Poem by PD Lyons) Riding the Highlands She spoke in an accent lost like heat from living things broken snowy things that long winters become around here. The absence of people in her world meant things would not get bogged down, such was her preference. She admired stainless things like steel, well-honed blades of knives sound of a good axe square stuck into a block; pieces split clean hard solid. She’d find a smile in steel spurs as her heels struck the floor. While copper had a value too. The bit she blew warm to keep from sticking to the horse’s mouth made her own water. Horses understood her language. Cold winter thrived upon it. Well-crafted metals bantered lightly with her. On the trail, sipping Bourbon accepted every word without argument. Snow dust from tall pines, crows like midnight splinter into a wide-open Ingenious blue from which every question ever asked returned every answer she’d ever needed.About the Author:PD Lyons was born and raised in the USA but travelled and lived abroad. Since 1998 he  resided in Ireland. Lyons received the Mattatuck College Award for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry. Received a Bachelor of Science with honours from Teikyo Post University Connecticut. The work of PD Lyons has appeared in many magazines and e-zine/blogs throughout the world. Lyons published poetry collections by Lapwing Press, Belfast and erbacce-Press, Liverpool.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been going on for over a year. Key words: Kawasaki Disease, pollen exposure, cancers, influenza, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, mutant, Wuhan, host and parasite, Parkinson disease, pollen avoidance, Takayasu disease, pollen-induced diseases(PID) Introduction In addition, it is expected that SARS-CoV-2 mutants will emerge simultaneously in many countries in the future when a patient host who has been compromised after pollen exposure in spring becomes infected with SARS-CoV-2 by chance. The authors hypothesize that the host who has been compromised after a large amount of pollen exposure responded to the coronavirus, which happened to be a slightly different parasite from the conventional one, with an abnormal response similar to the carcinogenesis process, and that the virus made many mistakes in the replication process, resulting in the virulent and highly infectious SARS-CoV-2. This report closes up the three-way relationship between pollen exposure and the number of influenza patients as well as KD patients, and further points out the possible involvement of pollen exposure in the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. The author has already reported the phenomenon that the onset of KD which is delayed induced by pollen exposure is suppressed during influenza epidemics, and at the same time, the number of KD and influenza patients parallelly moved. We reported on these topics in our previous report in a predictive manner. When I looked into the pollen dispersal situation in Wuhan, the city where SARS-CoV-2 originated, I found that Chinese research reports up to 1989 stated that the number of pollens dispersed in Wuhan was significantly higher than in other Chinese cities. Having studied for many years the involvement of pollen sensitivity in the background of the development of many intractable diseases, the author has recently come to assume that these viral infections would also be related to pollen exposure in the host population. The four severe viral infections in the 21st century consist of SARS (2002~2003), pandemic 2009 H1N1, MERS (2012~), and COVID-19 (2019~) due to SARS-COV-2 infection. Next, in analyzing the correlation between pollen counts and the number of newly diagnosed cases of various specific intractable diseases, the author has proposed that 40 designated intractable diseases, as well as 24 types of cancer and malignant tumors, may be PIDs. In 2018, the author showed in an epidemiological analysis that Takayasu disease, a designated intractable vasculitis syndrome is also a PID. Since 2003, the author has reported in four epidemiological analyses that Kawasaki disease (KD) in infants which has still been considered to be of unknown etiology, is probably a pollen-induced disease (PID) triggered by pollen. *Corresponding author: Akira Awaya, Dermatology & Epidemiology Research Institute (DERI), 4978 Totsuka-cho, Totsuka-ku, Yokohama 244-0003, Japan, E-mail: Abstract A hypothetical discussion of the linkage of airborne pollen exposure to the COVID-19 outbreak phenomenon, as well as to the development of various intractable diseases and cancersĪkira Awaya 1,2* and Yoshiyuki Kuroiwa 3,4,5ġDermatology and Epidemiology Research Institute (DERI), 4978 Totsuka-cho, Totsuka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa 244-0003, JapanĢGraduate School of Nanobioscience, Yokohama City University, Seto 22-2, Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa 236-0027, JapanģDepartment of Neurology, University Hospital Mizonokuchi, Teikyo University School of Medicine, 5-1-1, Futago, Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa 213-8507, JapanĤDepartment of Medical Office, Ministry of Finance, 3-1-1, Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8940, JapanĥDepartment of Neurology, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, 3-9, Fukuura, Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama 236-0004, Japan

Case fatality rate over 30%, super-resistant bacteria are spreading in the shadow of corona
National Geographic Japan version
Candida auris, difficult to treat and disinfect, warns doctors around the world
Case fatality rate over 30%, super-resistant bacteria are spreading in the shadow of corona

While the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is rampant worldwide, infection with the super (ultra-multidrug) resistant bacterium Candida auris (both Candida auris), which may be resistant to all drugs Is expanding in part, doctors are warning. Candida auris is particularly susceptible to nosocomial infections, which puts a heavy burden on the medical field, which is flooded with corona patients this year.
Candida auris adheres to sheets, bed railings, doors, medical equipment, etc. and survives for a long time, and when touched by human hands, the infection spreads. In addition, there is a high risk of infection when inserting a tube into the body, such as a catheter, ventilator, or liquid food. Patients hospitalized in Corona are often exposed to these measures because of respiratory problems.
"Unfortunately, Candida auris is expanding in some areas," said Tom Chiller, director of mycosis at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "Some have spread to emergency hospitals and corona wards. Once an infection is discovered, it's difficult to get rid of it completely, so I'm very worried."
The Candida fungus was originally known to cause mild symptoms such as white spots on the tongue and genitals. However, Candida auris has been reported in at least 40 countries since it was first reported by Professor Koichi Makimura of Teikyo University in 2009, and thousands of people have been infected. Although the pathogenicity of the Japanese type is low, there is also a type with a mortality rate of 30 to 60%.
Candida auris is not the only bacterium that is resistant to drugs. Already, millions of people worldwide are infected with various super-resistant strains, and the spread of Candida auris could exacerbate the crisis. In 2019, the CDC positioned Candida auris as one of the greatest threats among drug-resistant bacteria in the United States. By the end of August this year, 1364 cases have been confirmed in the United States. It is more than four times the number of infected people in 2018 as a whole.
However, this year, there are many cases of Candida auris that are overlooked behind the new Corona, and the actual number seems to be much higher than that. Even if the bacteria adhere to human skin, they may not show any symptoms. It is possible that the death toll from super-resistant bacteria is among the excess mortality surges during the new corona epidemic. That's why doctors around the world are ringing the alarm.
Severely ill corona infected in hospital or 6 out of 10 dead
It was 2011. Several blood samples have been sent to Anurada Chaudhry, who worked at a laboratory in New Delhi, India. A mysterious fungal infection was spreading in the intensive care unit and neonatal room of two hospitals in the city.
Mr. Chaudhry, a professor of medical mycology at the Valabby Patel Chest Institute at the University of Delhi, was asked to identify the fungus and propose a therapeutic drug. After seeing the results of the analysis, Mr. Chaudhry twisted his head.
"Candida auris? What's that?"
It's no wonder Mr. Chaudley didn't know. Candida auris was first reported only two years ago. Found in the ears of a patient, it was named "Auris," which means ear in Latin.
What surprised me most was that fluconazole, the first treatment used for fungal infections, had no effect on Mr. Chaudley's blood samples. In 2013, Candida Auris published a paper on the subject, which was later revealed to be resistant to fluconazole and other azoles. Also, even the other two major types of antibiotics may not work.
Currently, Mr. Chowdley is studying a patient with candidaemia among the severely ill patients of the new corona who entered the intensive care unit in Delhi. It is a disease caused by Candida albicans entering the blood.
According to the results of a small study published in the November issue of the medical journal "Emerging Infectious Diseases" by Mr. Caudley et al., Candida auris was found in 10 out of 15 patients. Both are believed to have been infected in the hospital.
All blood samples were resistant to fluconazole, and 4 of the strains isolated from the blood did not respond to the other antibacterial drug amphotericin B. The last hope, Echinocandin, is difficult to obtain in India. Eventually, six people died.
Mr. Chaudley, like the new Corona, argues that testing and contact tracking are important to control the spread of Candida auris. The Candida auris test is done by rubbing the surface of the skin or by collecting blood or urine. Patients who test positive will be examined for the effects of three antibiotics.
In this way, it is possible to identify the number of deaths due to super-resistant bacteria to some extent, but the fact that it is easily infected in the hospital complicates the problem. In hospitals, patients already have other illnesses, such as corona, and it is difficult to determine whether the cause of death is due to the illness or drug-resistant bacteria.
Climate change and pandemics
In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) listed drug-resistant bacteria as one of the top 10 threats to human health, returning to a world where tuberculosis and even gonorrhea, which are now easily treated, are out of control. He expressed concern that it would end up.
It is said that the abuse of antibacterial drugs in the medical field of livestock and humans worldwide gave birth to super-resistant bacteria. But climate variability predicts that fungal infections will spread further in the future, said Ramanan Laxminarayan, founder and representative of the Center for Pathological Economic Policy (CDDEP) in Washington, D.C.
A paper published last year in the American Society for Microbiology journal "mBio" stated that "Candida auris may be the first fungal infection born of climate variability."
Humans tend to have a fever as a defensive reaction when they get an infectious disease. This is because the fungus is sensitive to heat. However, if fungi such as Candida auris adapt to hot environments due to global warming, their defenses may be ineffective. This means that in the future, not only will existing fungi expand, but new fungal infections may emerge.
"Just as more bacteria aren't working with antibiotics, fungi that aren't working with antibacterial drugs may threaten humanity," Lacus Minarayan warns. Strong bacteria such as multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis and Clostridioides difficile, whose cases are rapidly increasing mainly in North America, account for 99% of the 2.8 million super-resistant bacterial infections in the United States annually. The death toll is about 35,000.
India, which has long been said to be a hotbed for fostering drug resistance, is now the center of the epidemic of the new coronavirus disease. In Mr. Chaudley's lab, about half of the staff were also tested positive for corona in recent tests, killing two. Mr. Chaudhry welcomes people as they begin to realize the threat of Candida auris in a difficult personal situation.
"Many people thought it was an Indian problem and had nothing to do with them. So far I've been studying alone and I've had a hard time, but now the world is working on it. Fungal infections are diseases that should never be ignored. "

Representation is a crucial issue in the LGBTQ+ community. If the entertainment is getting better at engaging and representing the LGBTQ+ community, the political world still has a long way to go.
Born on January 25, 1968, Aya Kamikawa is the first transgender person to be elected in Japan in 2003. She studies at Hosei University and works as a writer. In 2003, she submits her election application papers. She leaves a blank space at the line “sex”. She won a seat in the Setagaya ward assembly, an important district in Tokyo and becomes the first openly transgender person to be elected in Japan, a country where coming-out can be difficult. The government declared that they will consider her as a man but she exploits her will to work as a woman. She works to improve rights and situation for the women, the children, the elderly, the handicapped and the LGBTQ+ people. She is re-elected in 2007, becoming even more popular.
Tomoya Hosoda is the first transgender man elected in Japan, in 2017. Born in 1991, he undergoes surgery in 2015, date when he came out. He studies medicine at Teikyo University and works as a medical technologist in Shizuoka. He is the first transgender man to be elected in a universal suffrage election, to the city council of Iruma in Japan.

È morto Isao Takahata
Scompare all’età di 82 anni uno dei padri dell’animazione giapponese.
Tumblr media
Apprendiamo tristemente della scomparsa all’età di 82 anni di Isao Takahata, regista, sceneggiatore, produttore nonché co-fondatore di Studio Ghibli. Con lui se ne va uno dei padri dell’animazione giapponese. Kiyofumi Nakajima, il presidente dello studio, ha comunicato che Takahata è deceduto oggi all’ 1:19 presso il Teikyo University Hospital di Tokyo, a causa di un cancro ai polmoni. la cerimonia funebre sarà limitata ai soli parenti stretti, mentre Studio Ghibli organizzerà un evento pubblico per dire addio al maestro; la data fissata è per il 15 maggio.
Nato il 29 ottobre del 1935, Takahata entrò a far parte di Toei Douga (ora Toei Animation) nel 1959, dopo aver conseguito la laura in letteratura francese presso l’Università di Tokyo. Il primo progetto da lui diretto è stato uno degli episodi della serie tv “Ōkami Shōnen Ken”, mentre il suo primo lungometraggio è stato “La grande avventura del piccolo principe Valiant”.
Già prima di fondare lo Studio Ghibli assieme ad Hayao Miyazaki, Takahata era già regista di classici come “Panda! Go, panda!”, “Heidi” e “Anna dai capelli rossi”. Nel corso della sua lunga carriera ha diretto opere come “La tomba delle lucciole”, “Pioggia di ricordi”, “Pom Poko”, “I miei vicini Yamada” e “La storia della principessa splendente”. È anche stato il produttore dietro i film “Nausicaä della valle del vento” e “Laputa - Il Castello nel cielo” di Miyazaki, oltre che direttore artistico de “La tartaruga rossa” di Michaël Dudok de Wit.
