The hospital had been backing up data onto Linear Tape-Open (LTO) tapes. Master tapes were stored in the hospital building and replicas were stored in an associate hospital located in the same city. However, tape-based backup management and operation was laborious and moving the replica tapes to the associate hospital risked them being stolen or lost in transit. In addition, the backup frequency was only once per week, introducing the risk of losing the latest data when disaster strikes.

  • Changes in Rotavirus Genotypes Before and After Vaccine Introduction
    Jpn. J. Infect. Dis., 70, 448–452, 2017 Original Article Changes in Rotavirus Genotypes before and after Vaccine Introduction: a Multicenter, Prospective Observational Study in Three Areas of Japan Takaaki Tanaka1*, Hajime Kamiya2, Kazutoyo Asada3, Shigeru Suga3, Masaru Ido4, Masakazu Umemoto5, Kazunobu Ouchi1, Hiroaki Ito6, Haruo Kuroki7, Takashi Nakano1, and Koki Taniguchi8 1Department of Pediatrics, Kawasaki Medical School, Okayama 700-8505; 2Infectious Disease Surveillance Center, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Tokyo 162-8640; 3Department of Pediatrics, National Mie Hospital, Mie 514-0125; 4Department of Pediatrics, Mie Chuo Medical Center, Mie 514-1101; 5Umemoto Children’s Clinic, Mie 514-0004; 6Department of Pediatrics, Kameda Medical Center, Chiba 296-8602; 7Sotobo Children’s Clinic, Chiba 299-4503; and 8Department of Virology and Parasitology, Fujita Health University School of Medicine, Aichi 470-1192, Japan SUMMARY: In Japan, monovalent and pentavalent rotavirus (RV) vaccines were approved in 2011 and 2012, respectively. To monitor changes in the RV genotypes before and after vaccine introduction, we performed a prospective observational study among children (＜ 5 years) with gastroenteritis who test- ed RV-positive on antigen rapid tests. Stool samples were collected from 3 different sites in Japan: Tsu City, Mie Prefecture; Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture; and Isumi City, Chiba Prefecture. RV geno- types were determined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In Tsu City, G3P[8] was dominant (61.0–77.1%) before vaccine introduction, but decreased after introduction. Meanwhile, in an inverse proportion to the decrease in G3P[8], G1P[8] increased until the 2013/14 season, when a sud- den predominance of G2P[4] (100%) occurred.

  • Infliximab Versus Intravenous Immunoglobulin for Refractory
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Infiximab versus intravenous immunoglobulin for refractory Kawasaki disease: a phase 3, Received: 30 June 2017 Accepted: 5 December 2017 randomized, open-label, active- Published: xx xx xxxx controlled, parallel-group, multicenter trial Masaaki Mori1,15, Takuma Hara1,16, Masako Kikuchi2, Hiroyuki Shimizu3, Tomoyuki Miyamoto4, Satoru Iwashima 5,17, Tatsuya Oonishi6, Kunio Hashimoto7, Norimoto Kobayashi8, Kenji Waki9, Yasuo Suzuki10, Yoshikazu Otsubo11, Hiroshi Yamada12, Chikao Ishikawa12, Taichi Kato13 & Shigeto Fuse14 We compared the efcacy and safety of infiximab with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), a standard therapy, in a phase 3 trial (NCT01596335) for Japanese patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) showing persistent fever after initial IVIG. Patients with initial IVIG-refractory KD, aged 1–10 years, received a single dose of IV infiximab 5 mg/kg or IV polyethylene glycol-treated human immunoglobulin (VGIH) 2 g/kg on day 0. Primary outcome was defervescence rate within 48 h after the start of treatment. Safety was evaluated through day 56. Overall, 31 patients were randomized (infiximab, n = 16; VGIH, n = 15); 31.3% and 60.0% patients discontinued due to worsening KD. Defervescence rate within 48 h was greater with infiximab (76.7%) than VGIH (37.0%) (p = 0.023), and defervescence was achieved earlier with infiximab (p = 0.0072). Coronary artery lesions occurred in 1 (6.3%) and 3 (20.0%) patients receiving infiximab and VGIH, respectively, up to day 21. Adverse events occurred in 15 (93.8%) and 15 (100.0%) patients in the infiximab and VGIH groups, respectively. No serious adverse events in the infiximab group and one in the VGIH group were observed.

We used data from CURRENT AS registry, a Japanese multicenter registry, to assess the causes of death in severe AS patients and to identify the factors associated with non-cardiac mortality. We enrolled 3815 consecutive patients with a median follow-up of 1176 days; the 1449 overall deaths comprised 802 (55.3%) from cardiac and 647 (44.7%) from non-cardiac causes. Heart failure (HF) (25.7%) and sudden death (13.0%) caused the most cardiac deaths, whereas infection (13.0%) and malignancy (11.1%) were the main non-cardiac causes. According to treatment strategies, infection was the most common cause of non-cardiac death, followed by malignancy, in both the initial aortic valve replacement (AVR) cohort (N = 1197), and the conservative management cohort (N = 2618).
