Finding a needle in a haystack - in silico search for environmental traces of Candida auris
Jpn J Infect Dis. 2022 Apr 28. doi: 10.7883/yoken.JJID.2022.068. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCandida auris, first described from an ear infection in Japan, is the most talked about multidrug resistant emerging pathogenic fungal species. Its environmental niche remained a mystery until its first isolation from wetlands of the Andaman Islands, India in 2020. We screened a subset of the world's largest sequence repository, the Sequence Read Archive at NCBI using a DNA metabarcoding approach, based on either the ITS1 or ITS2 region of the official primary fungal DNA barcode, to identify potential environmental sources of C. ...

Other Species' Alarm Calls Evoke a Predator-Specific Search Image in Birds.
Abstract Many animals produce vocal alarm signals when they detect a predator, and heterospecific species sharing predators often eavesdrop on and respond to these calls [1]. Despite the widespread occurrence of interspecific eavesdropping in animals, its underlying cognitive process remains to be elucidated. If alarm calls, like human referential words, denote a specific predator type (e.g., "snake!"), then receivers may retrieve a mental image of the predator when hearing these calls [2-4]. Here, using a recently developed experimental paradigm [5], I test whether heterospecific alarm calls evoke a predator-spec...

Outcomes of strategic alternative donor selection or suspending donor search based on Japan Marrow Donor Program coordination status.
Abstract In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from unrelated donors, delays in donor search are adversely associated with patient outcome. However, the optimal duration for either waiting for an unrelated donor or selecting alternative sources remains undetermined. Using data from the Japan Marrow Donor Program (JMDP) registry, we retrospectively analyzed 349 adult patients who had searched for unrelated donors. Two hundred and three patients received allo-HSCT from JMDP donors (Group A) with a median of 140 days required to identify a donor, 60 received allo-HSCT from alternative sou...

Sensors, Vol. 22, Pages 1800: Estimating the Emotional Information in Japanese Songs Using Search Engines
hi Kiyota Several studies have shown that music can reduce unpleasant emotions. Based on the results of this research, several systems have been proposed to suggest songs that match the emotions of the audience. As a part of the system, we aim to develop a method that can infer the emotional value of a song from its Japanese lyrics with higher accuracy, by applying the technology of inferring the emotions expressed in sentences. In addition to matching with a basic emotion dictionary, we use a Web search engine to evaluate the sentiment of words that are not included in the dictionary. As a further improvement, as a...

The 1975 Japanese diet has a stress reduction effect in mice: search for physiological effects using metabolome analysis.
Abstract We aimed to find new physiological effects of the Japanese diet. First, to determine the key components in serum from mice fed the 1975 diet, serum from mice fed the 1960, 1975, 1990 or 2005 Japanese diet was analyzed using CE-TOFMS and LC-TOFMS. Based on these results, the key components were determined by principal component analysis. Among the identified compounds, GABA was included. Therefore, a stress reduction effect was inferred as a novel physiological effect of this diet. Next, we tested whether the 1975 diet had an actual stress reduction effect in mice. Mice were given the 1975 diet or a contro...
