A mass mortality of sika deer (Cervus nippon) population occurred on Kinkazan Island in northern Japan in the spring of 1984, which followed an unusual cold winter. We collected a sample of 240 deer skulls. All deer were aged and sexed except some fawns. The sex ratio of >1 year old deer was 50: 50, but was skewed toward males compared with the sex ratio obtained in the population census in 1983. The oldest age at death was 12.5 years for males and 15.5 years for females. The frequency was low for young age classes. A relative cumulative frequency curve was constructed to examine the age-specific mortality pattern. The curves of both sexes suggested that mortality was relatively high for fawns and low for adult and prime-aged animals, and that mortality was higher and life span was shorter for males than for females.

Pharmaceutical consultation targeting outpatients at the Fujita Health University Hospital (Japan) provides support to patients undergoing anticancer drug treatment. This study aimed to explore factors that affect the comprehension of cancer chemotherapy among outpatients who received cancer treatment at our hospital. A questionnaire survey was conducted, and comprehension was scored on a scale of 1–5 (1, no comprehension; 5, full comprehension). When factors other than age and sex [the influence of which on comprehension has been reported in previous reports] were noted, differences in comprehension between the questionnaire items were comparatively analyzed according to the presence/absence of the relevant factors. Overall, 536 patients were included. Age (<70 years) and pharmacist interventions were identified as factors contributing to a comprehension score. The levels of comprehension regarding the name of the cancer chemotherapy, content/schedule of the treatment, purposes of the prescribed drugs, and objectives of blood tests were significantly higher in the group that received the pharmaceutical interventions; conversely, the level of comprehension for the self-management of adverse events was significantly lower in this group than in the group that did not receive any pharmaceutical interventions. Age and interventions by the pharmacist affected the comprehension of cancer chemotherapy by patients.
