Imagining the Sense of Touch: Touch-Informed Manipulation via Imagined Tactile Representations

Zhiyuan Zhang, Adeesh Desai, Jyun-Chi Hu, Yosuke Saka et autres

Tactile sensing can substantially improve contact-rich robotic manipulation, yet its practical deployment remains limited by the fragility, calibration requirements, and maintenance burden of tactile hardware. This raises a fundamental question: can robots benefit from tactile knowledge without requiring tactile sensors at deployment? …

CONTACT: CONtact-aware TACTile Learning for Robotic Disassembly

Yosuke Saka, Jyun-Chi Hu, Adeesh Desai, Zhiyuan Zhang et autres

Robotic disassembly involves contact-rich interactions in which successful manipulation depends not only on geometric alignment but also on force-dependent state transitions. While vision-based policies perform well in structured settings, their reliability often degrades in tight-tolerance, contact-dominated, or deformable scenarios. In this work, …

Association between primary care physician–nephrologist collaboration and clinical outcomes in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease: a JOINT-KD cohort study

Minoru Murakami, Takuya Aoki, Yoshifumi Sugiyama, Sho Sasaki et autres

Background: Primary care physician-nephrologist collaboration plays an important role in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the benefits of such collaboration in patients with stage 5 CKD remain unclear. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult outpatients with …

Serum zinc level is associated with aortic arch calcification in incident dialysis patients

Yosuke Saka, Tomohiko Naruse, Yuichi Katsurayama, Yuki Sato et autres

BACKGROUND: Aortic calcification is a predictor of cardiovascular events. Several studies have shown an association between zinc deficiency and aortic calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We therefore investigated the associations between serum zinc levels and aortic arch calcifications in …

Polypharmacy and Potentially Inappropriate Medications among Elderly Patients with Advanced Stage G5 CKD

Masahiko Yazawa, Hiroki Nishiwaki, Minoru Murakami, Yosuke Saka et autres

Background: The American Geriatrics Society identifies Beers Criteria and potentially inappropriate medications as medication use–related issues among the elderly. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience polypharmacy when managing multiple conditions according to clinical practice guidelines. However, a standardized description of polypharmacy …

Safety and Tolerability of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell (ADR-001) Therapy for IgA Nephropathy

Akihito Tanaka, Kazuhiro Furuhashi, Kumiko Fujieda, Asuka Horinouchi et autres

Key Points IgA nephropathy often requires KRT. Mesenchymal stem cells offer clinical benefits. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells are safe and tolerable. Background IgA nephropathy (IgAN) often requires KRT because of its refractoriness and because corticosteroids pose infection risks. However, mesenchymal stem cells …
