Risk Factors of Moderate or Severe COVID-19 in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Get PDFBackground: COVID-19, identified in 2019, has significantly impacted healthcare, especially transplant medicine. This study examines COVID-19 in kidney transplant patients, focusing on risk factors of moderate or severe outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 43 kidney transplant recipients who contracted COVID-19 between April 2020 and October 2023. Patients were classified into mild (N=29), moderate (N=6), and severe (N=8) groups based on the COVID- 19 treatment guidelines. Clinical characteristics, immunosuppressive regimens, metabolic factors, vaccination status, and disease outcomes were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify risk factors of moderate or severe COVID-19. Results: The overall mortality rate was 4%, with a 25% mortality rate in severe cases. In univariate analysis, obesity (OR: 4.69, p=0.04) and diabetes mellitus (OR: 6.25, p=0.01) were significantly associated with an increased risk of moderate or severe COVID-19. In multivariate analysis, while statistical significance was not reached, obesity (OR: 8.50, p=0.08), diabetes mellitus (OR: 5.35, p=0.07), and mTOR inhibitor use (OR: 8.60, p=0.06) showed trends toward an increased risk. Age ≥65 years was not significantly associated with severe COVID-19 (OR: 8.42, p=0.18). Conversely, receiving ≥3 doses of COVID-19 vaccination was significantly associated with a reduced risk of moderate or severe disease (OR: 0.07, p=0.03), highlighting the protective effect of booster vaccinations. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus, obesity, and mTOR inhibitor use may contribute to severe COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients, necessitating proactive monitoring and immunosuppressive management. Booster vaccinations play a crucial role in reducing disease severity in this high-risk population. Early intervention strategies, including optimizing metabolic control and immunosuppressive therapy, should be prioritized to improve patient outcomes. Further large-scale studies are warranted to confirm these findings.departmental bulletin pape

Interpretation of "Affairs" within the Provisions for Company Investigations by Inspectors under the UK Companies Act, and Investigations into the Affairs of Subsidiaries
Get PDF【概要】株主の申請に基づいて, 会社不祥事を調査させる日本の会社法上の｢業務財産(執行)検査役｣の制度は弁護士等の専門家が裁判所の決定によって公正中立の立場で会社調査
に当たる制度であり, 会社情報漏洩の危険が少ないというメリットがあるにもかかわらず, ほとんど用いられていない。その実効性を確保し, 利用を促進するために, 日本の検査役制度創設時に参照されたイギリス会社法上の検査役のその後の発展を見ることで何らかの示唆が得られるかもしれない。本稿はイギリス検査役の各論的検討の一つとして, 検査役が調査できる会社の範囲とその調査の実効性の関係について, イギリス会社法上の議論及び判例の変遷を紹介し, 日本の検査役との簡単な比較を試みるものである。The “Inspector of Execution of Operation” system under Japanese Companies Act, which allows for the investigation of corporate misconduct based on shareholder applications, is a system where experts such as lawyers conduct corporate investigations in a fair and neutral position by court decision. Despite the advantage of minimizing the risk of corporate information leakage, it is rarely used. To ensure its effectiveness and promote its use, insights may be gained by examining the subsequent development of inspectors under UK Companies Act, which was referenced when the Japanese inspector system was established. As one aspect of the individual examination of UK inspectors, this paper introduces the discussion and changes in precedents under UK Companies Act regarding the scope of companies that inspectors can investigate and the relationship with the effectiveness of the investigation, and attempts a brief comparison with Japanese inspectors.departmental bulletin pape
