Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with endocrine disorders, but their long-term clinical course remains unclear. We here report the 15-month clinical course for an individual with multiple endocrine disorders of the pituitary gland and testis likely triggered by COVID-19. A 65-year-old man with no history of endocrinopathy was admitted for acute COVID-19 pneumonia. Although his respiratory condition improved after administration of antiviral drugs, his blood pressure dropped suddenly to a preshock level and was refractory to vasopressors. The circulating adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol concentrations were low, and secondary adrenal insufficiency was suspected. Administration of hydrocortisone rapidly ameliorated the hypotension, and the patient was discharged taking 15 mg of hydrocortisone daily. An insulin tolerance test performed 3 months later revealed impaired ACTH, cortisol, and growth hormone (GH) responses, indicative of combined hypopituitarism. The patient also manifested symptoms of hypogonadism, and a hormonal workup suggested primary hypogonadism. At 12 months after discharge, GH and ACTH responses had recovered completely and partially, respectively. After another 3 months, basal ACTH and cortisol levels had been restored to the normal range and the patient discontinued hydrocortisone replacement without exacerbation of symptoms, although his hypogonadism persisted. The patient thus developed transient GH and ACTH deficiency that lasted for more than a year as well as persistent primary hypogonadism during intensive care for COVID-19. Certain prolonged symptoms of COVID-19 might be accounted for by such hormonal disturbance.

Rishiri volcano is situated off the northern coast of Hokkaido, Japan. Based on mode of eruption, migration of main vents, petrological features of the eruptive products and new K-Ar ages, the activity of the volcano can be divided into three main stages: Early, Middle, and Late. The Early and Late stages can each be further subdivided into two stages. The Early stage (<0.2-0.04 Ma) was characterized by the formation of a stratovolcano and flank lava domes which were aligned along a 17km-long NW-SE trend. The stratovolcano consisted of thin lava flows and pyroclastics, mainly of andesite with a small amount of basalt, whereas lava domes were dacite. During the Middle stage (ca. 0.04 Ma), thick lava flows and pyroclastics erupted from central vents and formed a main stratovolcano. The products were mainly andesite, with lesser dacite. After formation of the stratovolcano (<0.04 Ma), many flank vents (15 km-long NW-SE trend) were active in different eruption types, such as plinian, strombolian, and phreatomagmatic. The rocks were mainly basalt, with subordinate andesite and rhyolite. The most recent eruptions occurred several thousands years ago, but no volcanic activity including fumaroles can be observed at present. Eruption rate increased from >0.1 to >0.4 km3 (DRE)/ky during the Early stage, and also >0.4 km3 (DRE)/ky in the Middle stage. The rate then decreased from >0.35 to >0.09 km3 (DRE)/ky in the Late stage. Estimation of magmatic temperature was made from the presence or absence of hornblende in dacites. This suggests that magmatic temperature increased from the Early to Middle stages, and then decreased in the Late stage. Temporal variations in both eruption rate and magmatic temperature suggest that the volcanic activity of Rishiri volcano can be explained by ascent and cooling of a single heat source (diapir). Based on the diapir model and dormancy of activity during recent several thousands years, it seems that the life of Rishiri volcano as an active volcano is virtually over.

Aim: The influence of family history of diabetes, probably reflecting genetic and lifestyle factors, on the association of combined genetic and lifestyle risks with diabetes is unknown. We examined these associations. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 9,681 participants in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study. A lifestyle score, which was categorized into ideal, intermediate, and poor lifestyles, was given. Family history was obtained through a self-reported questionnaire. A polygenic risk score (PRS) was constructed in the target data (n=1,936) using publicly available genome-wide association study summary statistics from BioBank Japan. For test data (n=7,745), we evaluated PRS performance and examined the associations of combined family history and genetic and lifestyle risks with diabetes. Diabetes was defined as non-fasting blood glucose ≥ 200 mmHg, HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, and/or self-reported diabetes treatment. Results: In test data, 467 (6.0%) participants had diabetes. Compared with a low genetic risk and an ideal lifestyle without a family history, the odds ratio (OR) was 3.73 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.92–7.00) for a lower genetic risk and a poor lifestyle without a family history. Family history was significantly associated with diabetes (OR, 3.58 [95% CI, 1.73–6.98]), even in those with a low genetic risk and an ideal lifestyle. Even among participants who had an ideal lifestyle without a family history, a high genetic risk was associated with diabetes (OR, 2.49 [95% CI, 1.65–3.85]). Adding PRS to family history and conventional lifestyle risk factors improved the prediction ability for diabetes. Conclusions: Our findings support the notion that a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent diabetes regardless of genetic risk.

Six specimens (39.9–81.4 mm standard length) of the Round Scorpionfish Neomerinthe erostris (Alcock, 1896) (Scorpaenidae), previously recorded from the Indo-West Pacific and in the western Pacific from Taiwan to New Caledonia and the Wallis and Futuna Islands, were collected from Uchinoura Bay, Osumi Peninsula; southern Okinawa Trough; and Iriomote Island, Yaeyama Islands, southern Japan. The six specimens represent the first records of N. erostris from Japanese waters and include the northernmost records (Uchinoura Bay) for the species. The Japanese specimens are described here in detail and the new Japanese name “Yabusame-kasago” is proposed for the species.

Two specimens (124.0-148.6mm standard length) of a scorpionfish, Idiastion pacificum Ishida and Amaoka, 1992, were collected from the central North Pacific, representing the first record of the species from this area. This finding extends the distributional range of Idiastion pacificum, which was previously known only from the Kyushu-Palau Ridge, western North Pacific. This study provides new morphological data and a color photograph of I. pacificum based on these two additional specimens, with a comparison to Idiastion kyphos Eschmeyer, 1965.

小規模事業場において良好実践を行っている事業者の産業保健ニーズに関する質的調査:黒木直美ほか.産業医科大学医学部公衆衛生学―本研究では,小規模事業場における事業者の産業保健ニーズあるいは良好実践の動機を把握することを目的とした.これまでの調査では小規模事業場における産業保健活動の遅れが報告されている.これらの知見は主に質問紙調査から得られたものである.しかし,小規模事業場には事業者の意識が直接反映されるという特徴があり,積極的に産業保健活動に取り組んでいる事業場も存在している.このような小規模事業場の良好実践例において,事業者のニーズを分析した研究はこれまでにない.産業保健に対する事業者の動機を明らかにすることは小規模事業場間に良好実践を水平展開する一助となると考えられる.そこで,我々は産業保健活動の良好実践が行われている小規模事業場10社の事業者と半構造化面接を行い,その逐語録をKJ法を用いた質的手法で分析した.その結果,事業者はもっぱら「よい会社」,「よい経営」を強く意識していることが明らかになった.「よい経営」のための要素には「人材確保」,「取引先の信用」,「社会的信用」,「社長自身の健康」という4つがあった.事業者はこれらの要素を達成するため職場の安全,従業員の健康に関する活動は当たり前であると考えていた.さらに,具体的な活動には「コストの問題」,「担当者の問題」,「時間がない」,「外部資源」という既知の制約があった.調査結果から,経営と安全衛生活動を関連づけることが小規模事業場における安全衛生活動の向上に寄与すると考えられた.

Ruptured cerebral aneurysms that occur in the anterior wall of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are known as blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs); they have been reported to account for 0.3% to 1% of all ruptured ICA aneurysms. In this report, we describe the treatment of an unusual traumatic BBA (tBBA) with high-flow bypass using a radial artery graft, which resulted in a favorable outcome. A 59-year-old female suffered from an acute epidural hematoma, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, and traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (tCCF) after being involved in a motor vehicle accident. Her angiography results showed tCCF and a tBBA on the anterior wall of the right ICA. On the fourth day after injury, we found rebleeding from the tBBA and performed an emergency high-flow bypass using a radial artery graft with lesion trapping as a curative procedure for the tCCF and tBBA. Postoperatively, right abducens nerve palsy appeared, but no other neurological symptoms were noted; the patient was thereafter transferred to a rehabilitation hospital 49 days after injury. Traumatic ICA aneurysms commonly occur close to the anterior clinoid process, form within 1 to 2 weeks of injury, and often rupture around 2 weeks after trauma. This case was considered rare as the ICA was likely injured and bleeding at the time of injury, resulting in a form of tBBA; this allowed early detection and appropriate treatment that resulted in a good outcome.
