Article Abstract
Ixodes pavlovskyi inhabits cool temperate zones, especially in Russia, north-eastern China and northern Japan. This tick species is thought to transmit various pathogens such as Borrelia spp., Rickettsia spp. and tick-borne encephalitis virus. Hence, understanding the geographical distribution of I. pavlovskyi is important for estimating risk of tick-borne diseases. Among ticks collected using the flagging method in Osaka Prefecture, south-western Japan, we found a single I. pavlovskyi male that was identified based on its morphological features and the mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequence. To the best of our knowledge, the finding of I. pavlovskyi in Osaka Prefecture, highly humid subtropical western Japan, is the southernmost record of this species. Although ticks are dispersed towards the north by birds or mammals in the northern hemisphere, our findings suggest that they can also be transferred from north to south. Therefore, pathogens of tick-borne diseases that are endemic can be transferred from regions of high to low latitudes. This is an important discovery for understanding the biogeography of I. pavlovskyi and the risk of tick-borne diseases transmitted by I. pavlovskyi.

Significance of Pre- and Posttransplant Minimal Residual Disease on Transplant Outcomes in Core-Binding Factor Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Eur J Haematol
September 2025
Department of Hematology, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based Minimal residual disease (MRD) detection is commonly used for core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML), but its interpretation in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains under discussion.
Method: Using Kyoto Stem Cell Transplantation Group registry data, we included 96 patients who underwent allo-HSCT between 2000 and 2019 for CBF-AML.
Results: To assess MRD, quantitative PCR with GAPDH control was most used.
Hypertension as an Adverse Event Potentially Impacting the Therapeutic Efficacy of Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab in Patients With Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) is a serious condition involving physical weakness, depression, and cognitive impairment that develop during or after an intensive care unit (ICU) stay, often resulting in long-term declines in quality of life. Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and severe COVID-19 are at particularly high risk, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying PICS remain poorly understood. Here, we identify impaired Apelin-APJ signaling as a potential contributor to PICS pathogenesis via disruption of inter-organ homeostasis.

Background: Relapsed or refractory cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor outcomes despite advancements in chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While a second HSCT is often a salvage option, its outcomes vary widely, and prognostic factors remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and identify prognostic factors in pediatric patients with AML who underwent multiple HSCTs.
Chronic pain and decline in activities of daily living among community-dwelling older adults: a systematic review of longitudinal studies.
Eur Geriatr Med

Department of Social Science, Center for Gerontology and Social Science, Research Institute, National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Obu, Aichi, Japan.
Purpose: To investigate the longitudinal association between chronic pain and decline in activity of daily living (ADL) among community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 60 years.
Methods: In this systematic review of prospective longitudinal studies with narrative synthesis, a comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed and Embase using free-text words and MeSH terms on February 3, 2025. Longitudinal studies that quantitatively assessed ADL at two or more time points and pain at least once were included.
