24-hour intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients randomized to receive dorzolamide or brinzolamide in combination with latanoprost
No full textYoshimi Nakamura, Shusaku Ishikawa, Yuko Nakamura, Hiroshi Sakai, Ichiko Henzan, Shoichi SawaguchiDepartment of Ophthalmology, University of the Ryukyus Faculty of Medicine, Okinawa, JapanPurpose: To investigate the efficacy of dorzolamide 1% (bid or tid) or brinzolamide 1% bid on 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) control as well as patients’ preference for either drug when added in combination with latanoprost against glaucoma (IOP, ≥18 mmHg).Methods: In this randomized crossover study patients were assigned to receive latanoprost plus either dorzolamide or brinzolamide for four weeks. Thereafter, patients underwent 24-hour IOP monitoring while continuing to receive dorzolamide (for two successive days/nights: at first bid then tid) or brinzolamide bid (once overnight). They were then switched over to receive the other test medication for a further four weeks and subsequently reexamined for 24-hour IOP. A questionnaire survey on treatment satisfaction was performed.Results: In 20 patients dorzolamide bid or tid or brinzolamide bid exerted significant (p < 0.001) reductions of IOP from baseline at all time-points over 24 hours; no difference was detected among the treatment regimens. Significantly (p < 0.05) more patients preferred dorzolamide (n = 9) over brinzolamide (n = 2), whereas nine patients gave a neutral answer. Conclusion: Dorzolamide bid or tid and brinzolamide bid when combined with latanoprost therapy elicited significant IOP reduction for 24 hours. It is rational to consider patients’ preference of therapeutic regimen especially long-term users such as those with glaucoma.Keywords: glaucoma, brinzolamide, dorzolamide, latanoprost combination therapy, 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP), questionnaire surve
Le regard urbain fondu dans les médias
No full textExtrait de Géopolitique de la ville visuelle – la modernité comme regard, que le sociologue Yoshimi Shunya a fait paraître en 2015. Sous le patronage notamment de Michel Foucault et de Jonathan Crary, Yoshimi y décrit, non pas les éléments qui auraient présidé à la reconfiguration moderne du regard, mais la manière dont la modernité serait advenue dans les villes comme autant d’expériences et de structures collectives fondamentalement innervées par les questions de distribution, d’organisation et de disciplinarisation des regards. À ce titre, l’objectif est de rendre compte d’un véritable retournement épistémologique : ou comment la ville aurait cessé de répondre de logiques architecturales, pour se conformer désormais à des exigences iconiques et médiatiques.吉見俊哉著『視覚都市の地政学』の抜粋。ミシェル・フーコーやジョナサン・クラリーの思想を受け継いで、吉見俊哉は視線の構造の近代的変容ではなく、むしろ都市における近代の経験はどのようにまなざしという経験（つまりまなざしの再構成、再配布、規律化）に貫かれてきたか、という問いかけに基づき都市の再編成を考察する。この意味において本論考が目指すのは認識論的な転回である。つまり、いかにして都市が建築のロジックに従うことをやめて図像的な要請やメディアの要求に順応するかを明らかにするのだ。This paper is an extract from Geopolitics of the Visual City (2015), published in Japanese by the sociologist Yoshimi Shunya, in which the author draws on the work of Michel Foucault and Jonathan Crary to explore not how people’s gaze has been reconstructed in modern times, but how the reorganisation, redistribution and disciplining of the gaze fundamentally informs the way modernity is experienced in cities. The aim is to document a veritable epistemological change: namely, that the city has ceased being driven by architectural principles and now conforms to the demands of visual media

A Study to Install Safe Water Options for Arsenic Contamination of Drinking Water in Bangladesh
No full text現在，バングラデシュ農村部で飲料水のヒ素汚染災害が深刻な問題となっている。問題発覚以降は多くのNGOや世界銀行，ユニセフなどの外部機関が問題解決に取り組んできたが，今もなお多くの人々がヒ素に汚染された水を利用しているのが現状である。バングラデシュにおける飲料水ヒ素汚染災害は現地の社会環境や飲料水利用状況が密接に絡み合った問題として取り組むべきであり，本研究は，今もなお飲料水ヒ素汚染災害に苦しんでいる人々がいるという事実を重視し，「現地からの視座」による「現地に根ざした計画論」を示すことで，今後の問題解決をどのように導いていくかを論ずるものである。In Bangladesh, arsenic contaminated drinking water has become a major problem. Since the revelation of arsenic contamination, various safe water options have been introduced to supply drinking water. However, some of them have already been abandoned. The options are not acceptable for local residents without consideration of their social environments and support after introduction .The purpose of this study aims to plan acceptable processes to install safe water options for the disaster of arsenic contaminated drinking water considering local social environment in Bangladesh.現在，バングラデシュ農村部で飲料水のヒ素汚染災害が深刻な問題となっている。問題発覚以降は多くのNGOや世界銀行，ユニセフなどの外部機関が問題解決に取り組んできたが，今もなお多くの人々がヒ素に汚染された水を利用しているのが現状である。バングラデシュにおける飲料水ヒ素汚染災害は現地の社会環境や飲料水利用状況が密接に絡み合った問題として取り組むべきであり，本研究は，今もなお飲料水ヒ素汚染災害に苦しんでいる人々がいるという事実を重視し，「現地からの視座」による「現地に根ざした計画論」を示すことで，今後の問題解決をどのように導いていくかを論ずるものである。In Bangladesh, arsenic contaminated drinking water has become a major problem.

No full text近年，バングラデシュにおいて飲料水のヒ素汚染が問題となっている。また，バングラデシュは地理的立地条件から，洪水，渇水，塩害など多様な大災害が頻発し，経済的な貧しさもあってヒ素汚染に対して最も脆弱な地域として挙げられる。さらに導入されたろ過装置なども適切な維持管理の欠如などから有効に機能していない例が多々見られる。本研究ではバングラデシュにおける飲料水ヒ素汚染問題について，住民にとって受け入れられる代替案作成にあたり，現地の社会環境を把握し，飲料水を取り巻く状況のモデル化を目的とする。このため社会調査を実施し現地の飲料水利用状況を明らかにする。Recently, arsenic contamination of drinking water becomes serious problem in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is one of the poor countries in the world and it has been suffering many kinds of disaster such as cyclones, floods, droughts, and damage caused by salt. Various alternative technologies have been introduced to supply safe drinking water. However, most of them have been abandoned because of difficulty of maintenance, stress of collecting water and so on. To plan alternative of arsenic contaminated drinking water in Bangladesh, in this study social survey with Bangladesh residents was carry out and the situation of using drinking water was clarified.近年，バングラデシュにおいて飲料水のヒ素汚染が問題となっている。また，バングラデシュは地理的立地条件から，洪水，渇水，塩害など多様な大災害が頻発し，経済的な貧しさもあってヒ素汚染に対して最も脆弱な地域として挙げられる。さらに導入されたろ過装置なども適切な維持管理の欠如などから有効に機能していない例が多々見られる。本研究ではバングラデシュにおける飲料水ヒ素汚染問題について，住民にとって受け入れられる代替案作成にあたり，現地の社会環境を把握し，飲料水を取り巻く状況のモデル化を目的とする。このため社会調査を実施し現地の飲料水利用状況を明らかにする。Recently, arsenic contamination of drinking water becomes serious problem in Bangladesh.
