Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are susceptible to frailty because of a range of nutrition-related factors. While protein restriction is commonly advised to preserve kidney function in patients with CKD, insufficient protein intake could potentially exacerbate frailty risk. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between frailty and protein intake in patients with CKD. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled patients with CKD stage 3-5. Frailty and prefrailty were assessed using the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study (J-CHS) criteria. To estimate dietary protein intake, Maroni's formula based on 24-h urine collection was used. The potential association between frailty/pre-frailty and protein intake was investigated using a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Ninety-seven individuals with CKD were included in the study, with a median age of 73.0 years (interquartile range: 67.0, 82.0). Among them, 34 were women (35.1%), and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 36.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 (interquartile range: 26.9, 44.1). Frailty and pre-frailty were identified in 13.4% and 55.7% of participants, respectively. Comparing the groups, protein intake in the frailty/pre-frailty group (0.83 g/kgBW/day [0.72, 0.93]) was lower than that in the robust group (0.89 g/kgBW/day [0.84, 1.19], p = 0.002). Upon logistic regression analysis, protein intake exhibited an independent association with frailty/pre-frailty (odds ratio: 0.72, 95% confidence interval: 0.59-0.89, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Reduced protein intake in patients with CKD is associated with frailty and pre-frailty. It is advisable to ensure that patients with CKD who are at risk of frailty consume an adequate amount of protein.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with a decline in renal function. This study aimed to investigate the impact of engaging in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) for more than 30 min per day on changes in renal function during the first 3 months after AMI onset. A prospective, observational study was conducted, enrolling 87 patients (75 men; average age, 65.2 ± 12.5 years) who had experienced AMI. The cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) was collected at and 3 months after discharge. Daily MVPA was measured using triaxial accelerometers at a threshold of 3.0 Metabolic equivalent of the task for 3 months. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were applied to evaluate the longitudinal association between the number of days per week of MVPA for 30 min or more and within-patient changes in eGFRcys. The patients were categorized into three groups based on their MVPA engagement days: 0 days (n = 20), 1-2 days (n = 14), and 3-7 days (n = 53) groups. After adjusting for potential confounding variables, GEE analysis revealed that the eGFRcys slope over 3 months was significantly higher in the 3-7 days group than in 0 days group (B = 2.9, (95% confidence interval: 1.5-4.2), p < 0.001). Similar results were obtained when MVPA time thresholds were set to 40 and 60 min. These findings suggest a significant positive effect of engaging in MVPA for 30 min or more for 3-7 days per week in the improvement of renal function after AMI onset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many studies have explored the correlation between quality of life and survival, none have reported this relationship for specific cancers assessed at distinct time points. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the impact of pretreatment Global Quality of Life (QOL) and functioning QOL, including physical, social, role, emotional, and cognitive QOLs, on mortality risk in patients with lung cancer. METHODS A literature search was conducted across the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Scopus, and PubMed databases for articles published between their inception and December 2022. Subsequently, 11 studies were selected based on predefined eligibility criteria to investigate the relationship between pretreatment QOLs and mortality risk in patients with lung cancer. RESULTS Pretreatment global, physical, social, role, and emotional QOLs were significantly associated with mortality risk as follows: Global QOL (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.08 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03-1.13); Physical QOL (HR = 1.04 95% CI = 1.02-1.05); Social QOL (HR = 1.02 95% CI = 1.01-1.03; Role QOL (HR = 1.01 95% CI = 1.01-1.02); Emotional QOL (HR = 1.01 95% CI = 1.00-1.03). CONCLUSIONS These findings underscore the importance of early QOL assessment after diagnosis as well as early provision of physical, social, and psychological support accommodating each patient's demands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with breast cancer present with various problems that have an adverse effect on the quality of life (QOL). However, the association between the QOL and mortality among patients with breast cancer remains controversial. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether QOL impacts prognosis in patients with breast cancer. METHODS The databases of CINAHL, Scopus, and PubMed databases were searched to retrieve observational studies that assessed the QOL and mortality risk in patients with breast cancer published before December 2022. RESULTS Among the 119,061 articles retrieved, six observational studies were included in the meta-analysis. Physical QOL (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.07, p = 0.003), emotional QOL (HR: 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.03, p = 0.05), and role QOL (HR: 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.01, p = 0.007) showed significant associations with mortality risk. In contrast, global QOL, cognitive QOL, and social QOL showed no associations with mortality risk. Subgroup analysis performed according to treatment time points revealed that the post-treatment physical QOL was associated with mortality risk. CONCLUSIONS Physical QOL, emotional QOL, and role QOL are associated with mortality risk in patients with breast cancer. Furthermore, post-treatment physical QOL showed a more significant association with prolonged survival than pre-treatment physical QOL.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hematopoietic stem cell transplants play an important role in the treatment of cancer, particularly hematologic malignancies. These patients can encounter functional impairments unique to hematopoietic stem cell transplant, including deconditioning, cancer-related fatigue, steroid myopathy, graft versus host disease, and capillary leak syndrome. Medical fragility and increased risk of infection may make rehabilitation challenging on the acute care and postacute care settings. Patients admitted to acute inpatient rehabilitation experience a high rate of transfer to the primary acute service and high rate of mortality after transfer back. Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians can use a number of strategies to mitigate these patients' risk of medical complications including evidence-based predictive models to assist with postacute rehabilitation triage, physiatry-led consult-based rehabilitation, and oncology hospitalist comanagement on inpatient rehabilitation.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to clarify whether phase angle can be a predictor of walking independence in older women with vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) and to determine a clinically usable cutoff value. Methods We retrospectively assessed data of older women (n=59; median age, 83.0 years) with VCFs. Propensity score-matching and logistic regression were performed to examine the association between phase angle at admission and walking independence at discharge. The cutoff value for the phase angle at admission for predicting walking independence was calculated based on the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results Thirty-one patients (52.5%) could walk independently at discharge. Thirty patients were extracted from the independent and non-independent groups according to the propensity score. After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference between the groups for age, medical history, knee extension strength, skeletal muscle mass index, mini nutritional assessment-short form score, or revised Hasegawa's dementia scale score. However, the phase angle of the independent group was significantly higher than that of the non-independent group (P<0.05). Logistic regression revealed that phase angle at admission was significantly associated with walking independence at discharge (odds ratio, 12.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.1-72.0; P<0.01). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.868, and the calculated phase angle cutoff value was 3.55°. Conclusions This study revealed that the phase angle can predict walking independence in older women with VCFs. The cutoff values for women calculated in this study can be used as a simple and objective predictive index of walking independence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ankle fractures are one of the most common lower extremity fractures. After surgery, the ankle joint is often immobilized in a plantar flexion position, and there have been many reported cases of limited ankle joint range of motion. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of regular massage interventions on ankle joint range of motion after removal of fixation. METHODS The massage group comprised 30 patients who had sustained an ankle fracture and had undergone surgical fixation, physical therapy, and massage between November 2020 and March 2022. These subjects received a 3-min massage twice daily, five times a week. The control group consisted of 38 patients who had sustained an ankle fracture between January 2015 and September 2020 and had undergone surgical fixation as well as regular physical therapy. RESULTS The respective ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion ranges of motion after cast removal were 2.50 ± 7.2° and 42.3 ± 7.2° in the massage group and -8.62 ± 2.9° and 34.8 ± 8.3° in the control group. An unpaired t-test showed that the ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion ranges of motion in the massage group were significantly greater than those in the control group (p = 0.036 and p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that regular 3-min massage interventions of the plantar flexors could prevent the progression of a range of motion limitations in postoperative patients with an ankle fracture more effectively than regular physical therapy alone.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients on hemodialysis (HD) have a higher incidence of fractures than the general population. Sarcopenia is frequently observed in patients on HD; however, the association of falls with sarcopenia and its diagnostic factors, including muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function, are incompletely understood. METHODS This prospective cohort study was conducted at a single center. Sarcopenia was assessed according to the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia diagnostic criteria. Muscle mass was measured the bioelectrical impedance method. Grip strength was evaluated to assess muscle strength, while the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) was used to assess physical function. Falls and their detailed information were surveyed every other week. RESULTS This study analyzed 65 HD patients (median age, 74.5 [67.5-80.0] years; 33 women [49.2%]). Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 36 (55.4%) patients. During the 1-year observation period, 31 (47.7%) patients experienced accidental falls. The falls group had lower median grip strength than the non-falls group (14.7 [11.4-21.8] kg vs. 22.2 [17.9-27.6] kg; p < 0.001). The median SPPB score was also lower in the falls versus non-falls group (7.0 [5.0-11.0] vs. 11.0 [8.0-12.0]; p = 0.009). In adjusted multiple regression analysis, diagnostic factors, including grip strength (B = 0.96, p = 0.04, R2 = 0.19) and SPPB (B = 1.11, p = 0.006, R2 = 0.23), but not muscle mass, were independently associated with fall frequency. CONCLUSIONS The frequency of falls in HD patients was related to muscle strength and physical function, but not muscle mass.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Skeletal muscle mass is considered a prognostic factor for survival in patients with cancer. In this study, we investigated the associations between skeletal muscle mass, physical function, fatigue, and quality of life(QOL)at diagnosis in patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS In this study, we included 27 untreated patients with newly diagnosed hematological malignancies who visited our hospital. The patients were assessed during the period from diagnosis to the start of chemotherapy. Data regarding age, white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, platelet count, and body mass index(BMI)were obtained from the patients' medical records. In addition, skeletal muscle mass index(SMI), phase angle (PhA), grip strength, knee extension strength, and short physical performance battery, brief fatigue inventory, EuroQol 5 dimensions 5-levels, and mini nutritional assessment short-form scores were calculated. RESULTS The mean SMI value was 6.6±1.3 kg/m2(7.4±1.2 kg/m2 in men and 5.7±0.6 kg/m2 in women). SMI showed significant correlations with platelet count(r=-0.42, p=0.03), BMI(r=0.61, p≤0.01), PhA(r=0.54, p≤0.01), grip strength(r=0.81, p≤0.01), and knee extension strength(r=0.49, p=0.01). Multiple regression analysis, conducted using SMI as the dependent variable, revealed that BMI and grip strength were significant variables(p≤0.01). DISCUSSION In untreated patients with newly diagnosed hematological malignancies, SMI was associated with BMI and grip strength but not with fatigue or QOL. Assessment of BMI and grip strength at diagnosis may help predict skeletal muscle mass.

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia and phase angle (PhA), and to examine whether PhA cutoff values can be used to identify sarcopenia in patients with hematologic malignancies. The study population comprised 108 patients with hematologic malignancies who were admitted for chemotherapy, and were undergoing rehabilitation for exercise therapy. The diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia were determined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. Muscle strength, endurance, and body composition (including PhA), were assessed. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to investigate associations between sarcopenia and PhA, and to determine cutoff values. Sarcopenia was found in 17.6% of the participants. PhA was significantly associated with sarcopenia (p < 0.01). The areas under the curve were 0.84 for the males and 0.87 for the females, and the cutoff values were 4.75° for the males (sensitivity 69%, specificity 83%) and 3.95° for the females (sensitivity 78%, specificity 85%). Our results suggest that PhA, which can be measured noninvasively, objectively, and rapidly, can be used as a screening tool for sarcopenia in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Abstract
Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) tend to experience decline in physical function, mental function, and quality of life (QOL) after HSCT due to low activity caused by adverse reactions to chemotherapy used in pre-transplantation treatment and post-transplant complications. Rehabilitation for HSCT patients is effective in preventing decline in physical function, reducing fatigue, and improving QOL. A combination of aerobic exercise and strength training is recommended for exercise therapy. Risk management is also important in the implementation of exercise therapy, and the exercise intensity should be determined according to the presence of anemia, low platelet counts, or post-transplant complications. On the other hand, post-transplant complications can decrease the patient's motivation and daily activity level. A multidisciplinary approach, which includes physicians and nurses, is important to achieve early discharge from the hospital and as quick a return to society as possible.

Abstract
In recent years, the number of cancer survivors has been increasing each year due to advances in the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Cancer survivors present a variety of physical and psychological complications due to cancer and its treatment. Physical exercise is an effective nonpharmacological treatment for complications in cancer survivors. Furthermore, recent evidence has shown that physical exercise improves the prognosis of cancer survivors. The benefits of physical exercise have been widely reported, and guidelines for physical exercise for cancer survivors have been published. These guidelines recommend that cancer survivors engage in moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic exercises and/or resistance training. However, many cancer survivors have a poor commitment to physical exercise. In the future, it is necessary to promote physical exercise among cancer survivors through outpatient rehabilitation and community support.

Abstract
This study investigates the efficacy of and gender differences in exercise therapy in patients with malignant lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy. Twenty-six patients (13 men, 13 women) received physical therapy (based on the Borg Scale 13) during hospitalization. Physical function was measured using grip and knee extension strength, 6-minute walking distance, and body composition; nutritional status assessed via Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA®); and serum albumin levels analyzed. Fatigue was evaluated using the Brief Fatigue Inventory, and health-related quality of life was assessed with the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36v2). The analysis of all patients indicated that the right grip strength, skeletal muscle mass, skeletal muscle index, and leg muscle mass significantly decreased, whereas the serum albumin level, MNA® score, and scores of many items of the SF-36v2 significantly increased after chemotherapy. In a gender-specific analysis, only men showed significant declines in the skeletal muscle mass and skeletal muscle index, and improvement in the MNA® score after chemotherapy. In the SF-36v2, there were significant improvements in general health and physical component summary scores among men, and general health and mental component summary scores among women. Exercise therapy at a Borg Scale intensity of 13 may not prevent muscle mass decline in patients with malignant lymphoma, especially male patients. In addition, this study revealed that there is a gender difference in the effect of exercise therapy on quality of life. Thus, gender should be considered in exercise therapy for patients with malignant lymphoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) affects the risk of falls and physical function in patients with cancer. METHODS A literature search was conducted in the CINAHL, Scopus, and PubMed databases for articles published from January 1950 to April 2022. Seven review authors retrieved studies using predetermined eligibility criteria, extracted the data, and evaluated the quality. RESULTS Nine studies were included in the analysis. Patients with CIPN had a significantly higher risk of falls than those without CIPN (risk ratio = 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.18-1.62). Patients with CIPN had lower grip strength (standardized mean difference [SMD] =-0.42, 95% CIs = -0.70 to -0.14, P = .003), longer chair stand time (SMD = 0.56, 95% CIs = -0.01 to 1.17, P = .05), worse timed up and go test time (SMD = 0.79, 95% CIs = 0.41 to 1.17, P < .0001), and lower mean Fullerton Advanced Balance scale score (SMD = -0.81, 95% CIs = -1.27 to -0.36, P = .005) than patients without CIPN. There were no significant differences in gait speed (P = .38) or Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale score (P = .09) between patients with and without CIPN. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that patients with CIPN are prone to falls and impaired balance function and muscle strength.

Abstract
Background This case report describes the successful management of rehabilitation therapy for a hematological malignancy patient who was receiving chemotherapy and had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Case A 76-year-old man receiving chemotherapy for relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (MM) presented to our hospital with fever and dyspnea and was hospitalized with a diagnosis of COVID-19. Physical therapy (20 min/day, 5 days/week) was started on day 6 of hospitalization while the patient was receiving oxygen therapy. Conditioning exercises and movement exercises were performed in an isolation room, and blood counts, fracture susceptibility, and respiratory status were monitored. The patient was severely immunocompromised and required 34 days of isolation due to persistent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Physical function was assessed by manual muscle testing of the lower extremities and by the extent of lower extremity fatigue and dyspnea on exertion, as assessed using the Borg scale. Motor capacity was assessed using the de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI) score and the Barthel Index (BI). Muscle weakness and severe dyspnea developed 4 days after physical therapy was started. However, physical therapy led to improvements in DEMMI score and BI. The patient was discharged home on day 43 with home medical care. Discussion Careful management of MM and COVID-19 facilitated safe treatment with physical therapy. The patient's physical function improved with a carefully planned physical therapy program. Moreover, the patient required prolonged isolation due to persistent viral shedding; however, as a result of the treatment, which was coordinated between physicians and nurses, the patient could be discharged home.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise therapy on physical function and quality of life (QOL) in older patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing inpatient chemotherapy, including differences between patients with and without sarcopenia. METHODS Thirty-one inpatients aged 70 years or older participated in this study. Grip and knee extensor strength, 6-minute walking test, body composition, nutritional status, fatigue and health-related QOL at admission and discharge were compared. In addition, the patients were classified into sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic groups, and a comparison between admission and discharge and 2-way ANOVA were performed. RESULTS Overall, grip strength and skeletal muscle mass were significantly lower at discharge than at admission (P < .05); however, QOL significantly improved (P < .05). In the non-sarcopenia group, grip strength, right knee extension muscle strength, and skeletal muscle mass were all significantly lower at discharge than at admission (P < .05); however, this was not the case in the sarcopenia group. In terms of QOL, improvements were observed in different items in the non-sarcopenia and sarcopenia groups. There was a significant interaction between admission to discharge time period and sarcopenia regarding left grip strength, right knee extensor strength, and QOL. CONCLUSION Exercise therapy is effective in improving QOL in older non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients undergoing inpatient chemotherapy. However, the effect of exercise therapy and optimal exercise load may differ between non-sarcopenia and sarcopenia patients. Therefore, it is necessary to consider exercise therapy in the future, taking into account the presence or absence of sarcopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of exercise tolerance on renal function change after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not clear. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to elucidate the effect of peak exercise oxygen uptake (VO2) levels on longitudinal changes in renal function up to 1 year after onset of AMI. METHODS This retrospective longitudinal study enrolled 198 AMI patients. Symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed at completion of early Phase II cardiac rehabilitation, and peak VO2 levels were defined as the primary exposure factor. The estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year were collected. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to test the longitudinal effect of peak VO2 levels on within-patient changes in eGFR. RESULTS Patients were stratified into tertile groups (Low group, 12.3 ± 1.3 mL/kg/min; Mid group, 15.3 ± 0.7 mL/kg/min; and High group, 19.1 ± 2.3 mL/kg/min) according to peak VO2 levels. The slopes of eGFR over 1 year in the Low (p = 0.024) and Mid groups (p = 0.037) were lower compared to the High group. The Low group had a significantly higher odds ratio of experiencing rapid renal function decline than the High group (odds ratio, 2.87; p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS There was a significant effect of lower peak VO2 on rapid decline in renal function after AMI. Our findings suggest that the coexistence of exercise intolerance may be a novel risk factor for rapid decline in renal function after AMI.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in muscle strength, muscle mass, balance function, and quality of life (QOL) among middle-aged breast cancer survivors (BCSs) and older BCSs. METHODS The study included 53 middle-aged (<65 years old) BCSs and 49 older (≥65 years old) BCSs. Muscle strength was evaluated via handgrip and knee extensor strength, and muscle mass was assessed using a body composition test. Balance function was assessed using the Timed Up and Go test and the body sway test. QOL was assessed using the Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey. RESULTS The older BCSs had significantly lower right grip strength, right knee extension strength, and muscle mass (P < .05) than the middle-aged BCSs. In addition, the body sway test showed that older BCSs had a significant increase in the length of center of pressure compared to middle-aged BCSs (P < .05). Older BCSs showed significantly lower physical functioning subscales in QOL compared to middle-aged BCSs (P < .05). The associations among muscle strength, muscle mass and QOL were more significantly observed in the older BCSs (P < .05). Furthermore, a significant correlation between QOL and balance function was observed in the older BCSs, but not in the middle-aged BCSs (P < .05). CONCLUSION There may be associations among muscle strength, muscle mass, balance and QOL in older BCSs, but not in middle-aged BCSs. We believe that the findings of this study will be relevant in the context of planning rehabilitation for older BCSs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have a high risk of falls, whereas the impairment in balance function and their types in HD compared with non-dialysis dependent (ND) CKD have not been fully evaluated. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the balance function in 91 ND-CKD and 65 HD patients. The participants underwent the timed up-and-go test (TUG) to assess dynamic balance and length of the center of pressure (CoP) with open eyes or closed eyes to evaluate static balance. RESULTS TUG, length of CoP with open eyes, and length of CoP with closed eyes were longer in HD patients compared with those with ND-CKD. Multiple regression analysis showed that dialysis treatment independently affected TUG and length of CoP with open eyes. CONCLUSION The dynamic and static balance functions are impaired in HD patients compared with that ND-CKD patients. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
A recent study has reported that prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity during incremental exercise may be related to exercise termination on exhaustion. However, few studies have focused on motor-related areas during incremental exercise. This study investigated changes in the oxygenation of the PFC and motor-related areas using near-infrared spectroscopy during incremental exercise. Moreover, we analyzed the effect of exercise termination on changes in cortical oxygenation based on exercise intensity and respiratory metabolism. Sixteen healthy young male patients participated in this study. After a 4-min rest and 4-min warm-up period, incremental exercise was started at an incremental load corresponding to 20 W/min. Oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb), deoxyhemoglobin (HHb), and total hemoglobin (THb) in the bilateral PFC, supplementary motor area, and primary motor cortex were measured. We evaluated changes in oxygenation in each cortex before and after the anaerobic threshold (AT) and respiratory compensation point to identify changes due to respiratory metabolism. O2Hb and THb increased from moderate intensity or after AT to maximal exercise, and HHb increased slowly compared to O2Hb and THb; these changes in hemoglobin levels were consistent in all cortical areas we measured. However, the increase in each hemoglobin level in the bilateral PFC during incremental exercise was faster than that in motor-related areas. Moreover, changes in cortical oxygenation in the right PFC were faster than those in the left PFC. These results suggest changes based on differences in neural activity due to the cortical area.

Abstract
Falls are a social problem that increase healthcare costs. Hemodialysis (HD) patients need to avoid falling because fractures increase their risk of death. Nutritional problems such as frailty, sarcopenia, undernutrition, protein-energy wasting (PEW), and cachexia may increase the risk of falls and fractures in patients with HD. This review aimed to summarize the impact of frailty, sarcopenia, undernutrition, PEW, and cachexia on falls in HD patients. The reported global incidence of falls in HD patients is 0.85-1.60 falls per patient per year. HD patients fall frequently, but few reports have investigated the relationship between nutrition-related problems and falls. Several studies reported that frailty and undernutrition increase the risk of falls in HD patients. Nutritional therapy may help to prevent falls in HD patients. HD patients' falls are caused by nutritional problems such as iatrogenic and non-iatrogenic factors. Falls increase a person's fear of falling, reducing physical activity, which then causes muscle weakness and further decreased physical activity; this cycle can cause multiple falls. Further research is necessary to clarify the relationships between falls and sarcopenia, cachexia, and PEW. Routine clinical assessments of nutrition-related problems are crucial to prevent falls in HD patients.

Abstract
Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have a high incidence of falls. Impairment of balance function is a risk factor for falls in the general elderly, and no report examining the association between balance dysfunction and fall incidence in HD patients exists. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted at a single center. The timed-up-and-go test (TUG) as a dynamic balance function was performed and length of the center of pressure (CoP) as a static balance function was measured before and after the HD session at baseline. Data of the number and detailed information of accidental falls for 1 year were collected. Multiple regression analyses were performed to assess the relationships between the number of falls and balance function. Results Forty-three patients undergoing HD were enrolled in the study. During 1 year of observation, 24 (55.8%) patients experienced accidental falls. TUG time was longer, and CoP was shorter in the post-HD session than in the pre-HD session. Adjusted multiple regression analyses showed that the number of accidental falls was independently associated with TUG time in the pre-HD session (B 0.267, p < 0.001, R2 0.413) and that in the post-HD session (B 0.257, p < 0.001, R2 0.530), but not with CoP. Conclusions Dynamic balance was associated with fall incidence in maintenance HD patients. The evaluation and intervention of dynamic balance function might reduce the risk of falls in HD patients. Trial registration This study was carried out with the approval of the Niigata Rinko Hospital Ethics Committee (approval number 2005–92) (Registered on December 11, 2019) and registered in The University Hospital Medical Information Network (registration number 000040618).

Abstract
PURPOSE It is well studied that physical function and social background affect the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients. However, differences in QoL by age and factors affecting health state utility values (HSUV) of patients with hematological malignancies have not yet been sufficiently investigated. Our aim is to investigate the factors that affect QoL and HSUV in such patients. METHODS A total of 32 patients with hematological malignancies on outpatient chemotherapy were included. QoL and HSUV were evaluated using the EuroQol-5 Dimension 5-level (EQ-5D-5L). Physical function was assessed using grip strength, knee extension strength, 6-min walking distance, and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Fatigue was assessed using Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and nutritional status was assessed using Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). RESULTS In the EQ-5D-5L, a high percentage of the patients were aware of mobility problems and pain/discomfort, and mobility problems were more common in the older-aged group (≥ 65 years old, n = 16) than in the middle-aged group (< 65 years old, n = 16). In addition, the older-aged group showed lower HSUV and physical function. SPPB (β = 0.38, p < 0.01), BFI (β = - 0.58, p < 0.01), and MNA-SF (β = 0.29, p = 0.02) were independent factors affecting HSUV (adjusted R2 = 0.65, p < 0.01). BFI was correlated with HSUV in both older and middle-aged groups. CONCLUSION Comprehensive supports, to improve lower extremity function, fatigue, and nutritional status, are required to augment QoL and HSUV in patients with hematological malignancies.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of the Borg scale score with leg-muscle oxygenated haemoglobin (O2Hb) and deoxygenated haemoglobin (HHb) levels on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and the work rate, heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO2) and minute ventilation (VE) during supine cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in healthy adult men. We also investigated the relationships between the leg-muscle O2Hb and HHb levels and the work rate during supine CPET. Fifteen healthy male volunteers (mean age, 20.7 ± 0.6 years; mean height, 172.1 ± 5.7 cm; mean body weight, 61.7 ± 6.6 kg) participated in this study. The cardiopulmonary and NIRS parameters were assessed during each minute of supine CPET and at the end of the test. The Borg scale score significantly correlated with the work rate, HR, VO2, and VE during supine CPET (Rs = 0.86-0.94, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the Borg scale score significantly correlated with the leg-muscle O2Hb and HHb levels during supine CPET (Rs = -0.6, and 0.8, respectively; p < 0.05). The leg-muscle O2Hb and HHb levels had significant correlations with the work rate (R = -0.62 and 0.8, respectively; p < 0.05). The Borg scale score may be used to determine the rating of perceived exertion, whole-body fatigue and local-muscle fatigue during supine exercise. Moreover, leg-muscle oxygenation is associated with the work rate in supine exercise, similar to that observed in upright exercise.

Abstract
A previous study reported that cancer survivors exhibit decreased postural stability compared to age-matched controls. Another study showed that cancer survivors have a lower quality of life (QOL) compared to healthy subjects, and there was a significant relationship between muscle strength and QOL in cancer survivors. We aimed to investigate differences in the associations between balance function and QOL in cancer survivors and healthy subjects.Forty-one cancer survivors and 33 healthy subjects were included. Balance function was evaluated using the timed up and go test, and body sway was tested using a force platform. QOL was assessed using the medical outcome study 36-item short-form health survey.Cancer survivors exhibited significantly higher timed up and go and lower QOL than that of healthy subjects (P < .05). There was a significant association between body sway and QOL (P < .05) among cancer survivors. However, healthy subjects had subscales for QOL related to the body sway test parameters more frequently than cancer survivors (P < .05).Cancer survivors' balance function may have little effect on QOL, unlike in healthy subjects.

Abstract
Background
Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at a high risk of falls and fractures. The amount of physical activity (PA) they perform may be limited by psychosomatic factors associated with fear of falling, leading to frailty progression. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between fear of falling and PA in patients undergoing HD.
Methods
This cross-sectional study included 46 HD patients. Fear of falling was evaluated using the Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES). A 3-axis accelerometer was used to measure PA, including number of steps; 1 to 1.9 METs = static PA, 2 to 2.9 = light PA, and 3 or more = moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA). We examined correlation of MFES with each type of PA. Factors affecting fear of falling were determined using multiple regression analysis.
Results
The median MFES was 9.2 (7.4, 10.0). MFES was associated with the number of steps (r = 0.608, p < 0.001), light PA (r = 0.421, p = 0.004), and MVPA (r = 0.546, p < 0.001). Eighteen participants (39.1%) experienced at least one fall in a year and had lower MFES than the non-fall group (fall group: 7.4 [5.1, 9.0] vs. non-fall group: 9.7 [8.5, 10.0], p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that MFES was independently associated with the number of steps (B = 279.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 90.5–469.0, p = 0.005) and MVPA (B = 3.52, 95% CI = 1.14–5.90, p = 0.005), respectively.
Conclusions
Fear of falling was associated with amount of PA among patients undergoing HD. Interventions that target the fear of falling may be effective in reducing HD patients’ fall risk by enhancing PA.

Abstract
[Purpose] Muscle weakness in patients with chronic kidney disease is
associated with several disease-related factors, and this study aimed to examine whether
hemodialysis is one of risk factors for muscle weakness in patients with chronic kidney
disease. [Participants and Methods] We conducted a cross-sectional study with 74
non-dialysis and 84 hemodialysis patients. Muscle strength evaluations were performed by
measuring isometric knee extensor muscle strength and grip strength. Each evaluation item
was compared between the hemodialysis and non-dialysis groups, and multiple regression
analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with muscle strength. In
addition, the correlation between lower-extremity muscle strength and grip strength was
examined in each group. [Results] Isometric knee extensor muscle strength was
significantly lower in the hemodialysis group than in the non-dialysis group. Grip
strength was also significantly lower in the hemodialysis group than in the non-dialysis
group. Hemodialysis was determined to be an independent risk factor associated with lower
limb muscle strength as well as grip strength. The positive correlation between isometric
knee extensor muscle strength and grip strength was almost the same in the groups.
[Conclusion] Hemodialysis treatment was an independent risk factor for muscle weakness.
Regular monitoring of grip strength may facilitate better management with physical therapy
in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
[Purpose] Physical therapy for patients with multiple myeloma requires appropriate
exercise intensity and risk management due to osteolytic lesions. However, the optimal
strategy for setting exercise intensity remains unclear. We report cases in which physical
therapy was performed using the Borg scale and the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse
Events v4.0 as indicators of improvement in the performance of activities of daily living
without causing adverse events. [Participants and Methods] Two patients with multiple
myeloma, whose performance status was 4, underwent resistance training of the upper and
lower limbs and activities of daily living practice in stages according to their
functional status. Each exercise was performed for 20 to 40 minutes twice a day for 6 days
a week. The exercise intensity was set to 13 on the Borg scale as a guide, and the
allowable bone pain was up to Grade 1 according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse
Events v4.0. [Results] No adverse events occurred in either patient, and the performance
status improved to 1 or 2. Subsequently, autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation was performed. [Conclusion] Physical therapy with exercise intensity set
to 13 on the Borg scale and Grade 1 per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events
v4.0 may safely improve the performance of activities of daily living of patients with
multiple myeloma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Health utility, which is a measure of patient-reported outcome (PRO), has recently been used in health-related quality of life for patients with various cancers. However, the relationship between health utility and the physical function and of patients undergoing pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) as surgical treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has not been reported in the perioperative and convalescent phases. This study aimed to evaluate the perioperative and postoperative health utility of patients undergoing P/D for MPM at one year postoperatively and to examine the relationship with physical function. METHODS We included patients underwent P/D. Grip strength, knee extension strength, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were measured to assess physical function, and the Short-Form Six-Dimension (SF-6D) was completed to assess health utility. These assessments were performed preoperatively, postoperatively, and one year postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance for comparison of pre and postoperative and one year mean values. RESULTS There were 24 subjects (23 males, 65.5±8.3 year). SF-6D, 6MWD, FVC, and FEV1 values one year operatively improved significantly compared with postoperative. Additionally, SF-6D was correlated with 6MWD. CONCLUSION Health utility were also correlated with exercise capacity.

Abstract
Purpose: Exercise could lower the risk of cancer recurrence and
improve mortality, exercise capacity, physical and cardiovascular function,
strength, and quality of life in patients with cancer. This systematic review
and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to determine the
effects of exercise on mortality and recurrence in patients with cancer.
Methods: We searched for articles published before May 2019 in
MEDLINE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, ProQuest, and PEDro. We included
RCTs of exercise interventions, such as resistance exercise and aerobic
exercise, in patients with cancer that evaluated the risk of mortality and
recurrence. The standardized mean difference with 95% confidence intervals (CIs)
was calculated for quantitative indices. The random-effect model was used as the
pooling method. Results: Of 2868 retrieved articles, 8 RCTs were
included in the meta-analysis, with a mean PEDro score of 4.50 (SD = 1.25).
Exercise significantly reduced the risk of mortality in patients with cancer and
in cancer survivors (risk ratio [RR] = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.40-0.93,
I2 = 0%, P = .009). Exercise
significantly reduced the risk of recurrence in cancer survivors (RR = 0.52, 95%
CI = 0.29-0.92, I2 = 25%, P =
.030). Conclusion: This study found that exercise has a favorable
effect on mortality and recurrence in patients with cancer. However, the effect
could not be fully determined due to data insufficiency.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Differences in cognitive performance with exercise between men and women have previously been reported. In this study, we evaluated between-sex differences in oxygenation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (AE), which could contribute to noted differences in cognitive function. METHOD The subjects were ten men (age, 21.5 ± 0.5 years; height, 171.7 ± 4.8 cm; weight, 65.6 ± 5.6 kg) and ten women (age, 21.4 ± 0.5 years; height, 157.6 ± 4.9 cm; weight, 51.3 ± 6.5 kg). They completed our AE protocol, consisting of a 30-min leg-ergometer cycling at an intensity of 50% peak oxygen uptake, with an initial 4-min rest period for baseline measurement. Measures of the dynamics of cerebral oxygenation included: oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb) in the left and right PFC (LR-PFC) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb). The 30-min exercise period was subdivided into six 5-min phases, with the average and peak values determined in each phase. RESULTS A significant interaction was found between LR-PFC HHb and sex (p < 0.001), with significantly higher values in men than in women in phases 3-6 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION We report a significant sex effect of HHb in the LR-PFC.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between exercise intolerance, muscle oxidative metabolism, and cardiopulmonary function following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in a sterile isolation room setting. METHODS This was a prospective observational cohort study conducted in a single center. Fourteen patients with hematopoietic malignancies who had undergone allo-HSCT were included in this study from June 2015 to April 2020. Patients received donor HSCT after high dose-chemotherapy and total-body irradiation. Physical activity was limited during treatments. Outcome measures included body anthropometric measurements, exercise tolerance tests using the ramp protocol, pulmonary function tests, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements. Data of pre- and posttransplant measurements were compared using the paired t test or nonparametric Wilcoxon U test. Associations were assessed using the Pearson or nonparametric Spearman correlations. RESULTS NIRS showed reduced muscle consumption and extraction of oxygen in the posttransplant period compared to the pretransplant period (ΔStO2 min pre: -18.6% vs. post: -13.0%, P = 0.04; ΔHHb max pre: 4.21μmol/l vs. post: 3.31μmol/l: P = 0.048). Exercise tolerance had reduced following allo-HSCT (Peak workload pre: 70.3 W vs. post: 58.0 W: P = 0.014). Furthermore, exercise intolerance was associated with pulmonary function, muscle oxygen consumption, and muscle oxygen extraction (all P <0.05). CONCLUSION This analysis revealed that exercise intolerance following allo-HSCT was associated with pulmonary dysfunction and muscle oxidative dysfunction. These findings could help identify the physical function associated with impaired tissue oxygen transport leading to exercise intolerance following allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Background: A severely obese woman (39.8 kg/m2) with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia was admitted to our hospital to undergo salvage chemotherapy followed by cord blood transplantation (CBT). Case: During the salvage chemotherapy period, a 70-day weight loss program addressing diet and exercise was administered. After the 70-day intervention, the patient’s body weight and body fat mass had decreased (8.6% and 15.0%, respectively) without any adverse events. The number of available cord blood units with total nucleated cells per body weight greater than 2 × 107/kg was zero at admission and two after weight loss; therefore, CBT could be performed. Discussion: Considering this case, we suggest that a weight loss program combining exercise and nutrition therapy may help patients scheduled for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation by focusing on risk management.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether physical function can predict mortality in patients with cancer. METHODS Literature searches were conducted in Web of Science, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, ProQuest, PEDro, and PubMed for articles published before September 2020. Four review authors retrieved studies using predetermined eligibility criteria and conducted quality assessment and data extraction. RESULTS A total of 1356 titles and abstracts were screened; ultimately, 26 studies were determined to be suitable for meta-analysis. Grip strength was significantly associated with mortality risk in patients with cancer (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.15, P = 0.005). Gait speed was also associated with mortality risk (HR = 1.58, P = 0.0004). In grip strength and gait speed, the subgroup comprised of patients with cancer aged ≥ 80 years had a higher effect size than that of patients aged < 80 years. The short physical performance battery measurement was markedly associated with mortality risk, showing the largest effect size (HR = 2.37, P < 0.00001). The 6-min walking test distance was significantly associated with mortality risk (HR = 1.55, P = 0.001). The timed up and go test was significantly associated with mortality risk with a high effect size (HR = 2.66, P < 0.00001). CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that physical function predicted mortality in patients with cancer. Furthermore, physical function outcomes in patients aged 80 years and above reflected a higher mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Borg scale is used to determine exercise intensity in rehabilitation but can be difficult for older adults to understand. By contrast, face scale that are used to evaluate pain are much easier to understand thanks to the inclusion of illustrations. On the other hand, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with age. This study aimed to determine the validity of the face scale for rating perceived exertion (RPE-face scale) in older adults and patients with AF during cardiopulmonary exercise test. Furthermore, the relationship between face scale and anaerobic threshold (AT) was also investigated. METHODS A total of 90 patients with sinus rhythm (SR) (74 men, 16 women) and 22 with AF were enrolled. Participants' responses were recorded using the RPE-face scale and compared with exercise intensity, heart rate, oxygen uptake, and minute ventilation during the exercise test. We determined the AT by the V-slope method. RESULTS Correlations between RPE-face scale and physiological parameters were significantly positive for men with SR and women with SR and AF. However, differences in the correlation coefficient between age and SR or AF were not statistically significant. The cutoff value for AT of the RPE-face scale was "4," showing high sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSIONS The RPE-face scale can be used to determine the intensity of physical exercise, unaffected by age, gender, SR, or AF.

Abstract
Osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia are common geriatric diseases among older adults and harm activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL). Osteosarcopenia is a unique syndrome that is a concomitant of both osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. This review aimed to summarize the related factors and clinical outcomes of osteosarcopenia to facilitate understanding, evaluation, prevention, treatment, and further research on osteosarcopenia. We searched the literature to include meta-analyses, reviews, and clinical trials. The prevalence of osteosarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults is significantly higher in female (up to 64.3%) compared to male (8–11%). Osteosarcopenia is a risk factor for death, fractures, and falls based on longitudinal studies. However, the associations between osteosarcopenia and many other factors have been derived based on cross-sectional studies, so the causal relationship is not clear. Few studies of osteosarcopenia in hospitals have been conducted. Osteosarcopenia is a new concept and has not yet been fully researched its relationship to clinical outcomes. Longitudinal studies and high-quality interventional studies are warranted in the future.

Abstract
It has been reported that the cardiovascular response in the supine position is different from that in the sitting position. However, there are few reports on the effects of posture on cerebral oxygenation during exercise. Cycling exercises change oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb) levels in motor-related areas. Therefore, this study compared O2Hb levels at motor-related areas during recumbent versus supine cycling. Eleven healthy young male performed a 30-min cycling exercise protocol at 50% of the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) in the recumbent and supine positions. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to measure exercise-induced O2Hb and HHb changes in the right (R-PMA) and left premotor areas (L-PMA), supplementary motor area (SMA), and primary motor cortex (M1). In R-PMA, L-PMA and SMA, the O2Hb obtained during supine cycling was significantly higher than that during recumbent cycling (R-PMA, 0.031 ± 0.01 vs. 0.693 ± 0.01; L-PMA, 0.027 ± 0.01 vs. 0.085 ± 0.013; SMA, 0.041 ± 0.011 vs. 0.076 ± 0.008 mM·cm, recumbent vs. supine position; p < 0.05). These results suggest that supine cycling exercise increases R-PMA, L-PMA, and SMA O2Hb levels in healthy young men.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare cerebral oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) levels during incremental exercise by cycling vs. arm cranking in 12 healthy adult men aged 20.8 ± 0.2 years old. O2Hb was measured by near-infrared spectroscopy. Regions of interest included the left and right prefrontal cortices (LtPFC and RtPFC, respectively), the left and right premotor cortices (LtPMC and RtPMC, respectively), and the supplementary motor area (SMA) bilaterally. After 4 min of rest, 4 min of warm-up was performed by using ergometer followed by incremental exercise (increasing work rate by 5 W/min for arm cranking and 20 W/min for cycling exercise). All values were averaged every tenth of the participant's exercise time period from beginning of incremental exercise to end point. At the middle exercise intensity (50% exercise time), the averaged O2Hb values obtained at all regions of interest seemed to be higher during arm cranking exercise as compared to cycling; however, there were no significant differences between two types of exercise. At the end point of incremental exercise (100% exercise time), the O2Hb obtained at all regions of interest was significantly higher during arm cranking exercise compared to cycling (LtPFC 0.081 ± 0.019 vs. -0.001 ± 0.013 mM·cm, RtPFC 0.076 ± 0.021 vs. 0.018 ± 0.015 mM·cm, SMA 0.012 ± 0.040 vs. 0.040 ± 0.016 mM·cm; arm cranking vs. cycling; p < 0.05, respectively). We conclude that exercise-induced cerebral oxygenation is greater with arm cranking than with leg cycling.

Abstract
Continuous moderate-intensity aerobic exercise improves cognitive function including working memory (WM). We aimed to determine the differences in the effects of exercise on WM based on pre-exercise WM function and oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) changes. We enrolled 12 healthy adult males who, after a 4-min rest and warm-up, performed a 20-min exercise regime at a workload corresponding to 50% of maximal oxygen consumption. They performed a pre- and postexercise two-back test, and the reaction times were recorded. Near-infrared spectroscopy was used to monitor the O2Hb concentration in the left prefrontal cortex during the exercise. Based on the pre-exercise reaction time, the subjects were allocated into either a fast group (FG) or a slow group (SG). The pre- and postexercise changes in the reaction time and time-to-peak O2Hb were compared. Further, we determined the relationship between the change in the reaction time and time-to-peak O2Hb. There was no significant change in the reaction time of the FG; however, that in the SG decreased significantly. The time-to-peak O2Hb in the FG was significantly less than that in the SG. These results showed differences in the changes of reaction time and O2Hb changes between the FG and SG.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The incidence of leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is believed to be increasing in part because of more effective chemotherapy treatments allowing cancer progression behind the blood-brain barrier. However, little has been published about the rehabilitation of this growing patient population. In this study, impairments and rehabilitation utilization by cytology-proven LMD patients receiving intrathecal chemotherapy at a cancer center are described. A total of 109 consecutive patients with pathology-confirmed LMD who received an intrathecal chemotherapy infusion from January 1, 2017, through October 31, 2017, were retrospectively reviewed. Of the 109 patients, 103 (95%) had impairments described in their medical record that could impact physical function, including 74 of 109 (68%) who had deconditioning or fatigue. Kaplan-Meier median survival from initial LMD diagnosis was 13.1 mos. The median number of hospital admissions and intrathecal chemotherapy administrations was both 8. Of the 109 patients, 43 (39%) had magnetic resonance imaging radiology interpreted LMD. Most LMD patients used rehabilitation services (95/109, 87%) and most were able to forego post-acute inpatient rehabilitation facilities (96/109, 88%). Additional research and education for rehabilitation professionals about this increasingly common syndrome are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT), patients exhibit decreased muscle strength and muscle oxygen consumption. Furthermore, total corticosteroid dose affects the reduction in muscle strength after HSCT. However, to date, no studies have investigated the relationship between corticosteroid dose and muscle oxygen consumption and saturation in these patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between steroid dose and deoxyhemoglobin (ΔHHb) and muscle oxyhemoglobin saturation (ΔSmO2) in patients undergoing HSCT. METHODS This study included 17 men with hematologic disease who underwent allogeneic HSCT. We evaluated ankle dorsiflexor muscle force, ΔHHb, and ΔSmO2 in skeletal muscles by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in patients before and after HSCT. RESULTS Peak ankle dorsiflexion, ΔHHb, and ΔSmO2 decreased significantly after transplantation as compared to measurements taken before transplantation (p < 0.01). The change in peak ankle dorsiflexion from before to after HSCT was not significantly correlated with total steroid dose. However, ΔHHb and ΔSmO2 from before to after HSCT were significantly correlated with total steroid dose (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION This study showed that higher corticosteroid doses are associated with diminished skeletal muscle O2 consumption and skeletal muscle O2 demand relative to supply. Therefore, rehabilitation staff, nurses, and physicians should take note of these findings in patients undergoing HSCT. Moreover, physiotherapists should be carefully measuring muscle oxidative metabolism on skeletal muscle when planning physical exercise in such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the differences between the Face Pain and Borg Scales for rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in healthy adults, and their relationships with work rate (watts), heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO<inf>2</inf>), and minute ventilation (VE). METHODS In this prospective observational study, two experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, 77 healthy adults were randomly assigned to either the group using the Face Pain Scale (19 men, 18 women) or using the Borg Scale (21 men, 19 women) for the RPE during CPET. In Experiment 2, 40 healthy adults (20 men, 20 women) used both the Face Pain and Borg Scales for the RPE during CPET. In both experiments, CPET was performed on ramp protocols with incremental increases in the work rate by 20 watts/minute. Their responses in terms of watts, HR, VO<inf>2</inf>, VE, and RPE (assessed using the Face Pain Scale or Borg Scale) were recorded each minute. RESULTS There were significant relationships between the two scales and all physiological variables during CPET in 74 out of the 77 participants in Experiment 1 and in all subjects in Experiment 2 (P<0.05). The correlation coefficient of the Face Pain Scale with respect to the physiological parameters was slightly lower than that of Borg Scale in both experiments (P<0.05). The Face Pain Scale had a significant correlation with the Borg Scale during CPET in Experiment 2 (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The Face Pain Scale may be useful for determining the intensity of exercise in healthy adults, similar to the Borg Scale.

Abstract
[Purpose] One-repetition maximum is an essential statistic for physical therapists and coaches in rehabilitation and athletic settings. In a previous study, we showed that one-repetition maximum of the knee extensor could be predicted more accurately with the combination of maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength, as measured by a handheld dynamometer, muscle thickness, and thigh circumference, in young adults. However, there has been no study in older adults investigating the relationship between one-repetition maximum and maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength, or muscle thickness, and thigh circumference. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between one-repetition maximum and maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength, or muscle thickness, and thigh circumference in older adults. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-eight older community-dwelling adults (18 males and 10 females) participated in this study. Muscle strength of the knee extensor was measured using one-repetition maximum and maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength. In addition, muscle thicknesses of the refutes femoris and the vastus intermedius, and thigh circumference were measured using ultrasonography and measuring tape, respectively. [Results] Stepwise regression analysis revealed that body mass, gender, thigh circumference at 15 cm above the patella, and maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength were significant and independent determinants (R2=0.868). [Conclusion] One-repetition maximum could be predicted more accurately using a combination of maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength, as measured with a handheld dynamometer, and thigh circumference in older adults.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the relationship between physical activity time and physical function according to the Japanese Clinical Practice Guideline for Diabetes, which recommended 150 min of activity for outpatients with type 2 diabetes who may have diabetic neuropathy. METHODS We examined a cross-sectional study with 79 outpatients with Type 2 diabetes participated. A short version, Japanese language edition of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to evaluate physical activity. Isometric knee extensor strength, grip strength, maximum 10-m walking speed, the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument score, and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Each evaluation item was compared between time spent performing physical activity ≥150 min group and <150 min group, and multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with time spent performing physical activity. Further, the correlation between time spent performing physical activity and isometric knee extensor strength was examined. RESULTS The ≥150 min group had significantly higher isometric knee extensor strength than the <150 min group. In addition, the ≥150 min group had significantly faster maximum 10-m walking speed and sit-to-stand time than the <150 min group. Isometric knee extensor strength was determined to be an independent factor associated with the IPAQ score. A positive correlation was found between the IPAQ score and isometric knee extensor strength. CONCLUSIONS Among the patients with type 2 diabetes who may have diabetic neuropathy, those who performed physical activity for ≥150 min per week were suggested to have higher physical function than those with <150 min of activity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Whether optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) images can realize pathological diagnosis of coronary atherosclerotic plaques, and whether its diagnostic accuracy of lesion types varies depending on the personal experience of the clinician caring for coronary intervention have not been elucidated.
Purpose
This study investigated the interobserver variability in characterizing atherosclerotic plaque types by OFDI for multiple OFDI observers with levels of different experience.
Methods
Three-hundred-thirty-three histological cross-sections from 21 autopsy hearts were co-registered with the corresponding OFDI images. Histological cross-sections were classified into the following 7 lesion types according to the modified AHA atherosclerosis classification by a single experienced pathologist blinded for OCT findings: adaptive intimal thickening (AIT), intimal xanthoma (IX), pathological intimal thickening (PIT), fibrous cap atheroma (FA), fibrocalcific plaque (FC), calcified nodule (CN), and healed erosion/rupture (HER). The five OFDI observers, unaware of the histological diagnosis, provided a single diagnosis for each corresponding OFDI image. The OFDI observer 1 was an expert interventional cardiologist with sufficient experience in OFDI imaging, followed by the OFDI observer 2, 3, and 4 as middle career interventional cardiologists who had completed training ten, seven, and four years. The OFDI observer 5 was a young career interventional cardiologist. The diagnostic accuracy of lesion types for each OFDI observer was determined taking histology as a gold standard.
Results
On histological analysis, 13% of histological cross-sections were diagnosed as AIT, 5% as IX, 23% as PIT, 25% as FA, 27% as FC, 2% as CN, and 5% as HER. The overall agreement between OFDI diagnosis and histopathologic diagnosis for OFDI observer 1 to 5 was 77%, 62%, 61%, 56%, and 46% (k values of 0.71, 0.54, 0.54, 0.45, and 0.33), respectively. Although the performance for characterizing AIT and FC was excellent and comparable among all OFDI observers, the sensitivity and positive predictive value for characterizing IX, PIT and FA varied depending on the OFDI observers' years of experience (Table). The main causes of false-positive or -negative diagnosis of FA were IX and PIT for all OFDI observers.
Conclusion
The diagnostic accuracy of atherosclerotic tissue properties from OFDI images correlated with the observers' years of experience, subspecialty training in coronary imaging, which suggests that the interpretation of OFDI images requires expertise and can be challenging to a less experienced reader.
