Background: Seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) induced by Japanese cedar pollen is a substantial problem in Japan. Omalizumab, a novel humanized monoclonal anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody, has already been proven to reduce symptoms associated with SAR.

Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Effect of Fe2O3 on steam gasification of subbituminous coal/woody biomass mixture
This study investigated the steam gasification of Indonesian Adaro coal and Japanese cedar mixed in a 1:1 ratio with the physical addition of 10 wt% Fe2O3 in 50 vol% H2O at ambient atmospheric pressure and 800°C for 1 h.

Objective The objective of the study was to determine risk factors for relapse of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) after reinduction of remission with rituximab and discontinuation of maintenance therapy. Methods This is a post hoc analysis of the RITAZAREM clinical trial.

Measurement of Japanese Cedar Pollen-Specific IgE in Nasal Secretions
Background: : Japanese cedar pollen (JCP) is the most common allergen for seasonal allergic rhinitis in Japan. Little is known about local production of immunoglobulin (Ig)E in people with or without Japanese cedar pollinosis. The aims of this study were

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS ON JAPANESE CEDAR POLLINOSIS
The existence of pollinosis in Japan has been often presumed from various points of view, but very few reports on pollinosis whose allergen is known are found so far. In 1963, in the district of Nikko and its neighbourhood, the authors hap- pened to meet 21 cases with allergic symptoms in nasal cavity, pharynx and conjunctiva, which often appear only ...

Abstract Aim Individual second‐generation antihistamines may possess differential sedative potential due to the variability in central histamine receptor H1 occupancy. This study aimed to evaluate whether the sedative potential of second‐generation antihistamines is associated with the risk of injury during Japan's pollen season. Methods We conducted a

Estimation of energy properties of torrefied Japanese cedar with colorimetric values
Noticing the color variation of torrefied woody biomass with pyrolysis process, a non-invasive method to estimate energy properties such as elemental contents, higher heating value and energy yield is investigated.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
