Dynamic cerebral autoregulation after confinement in an isolated environment for 14  days
ConclusionThe increases observed in transfer function gain may be interpreted as indicating less suppressive capability against transmission from arterial blood pressure oscillation to cerebral blood flow velocity fluctuation. These results suggest that confinement in an isolated environment for 14  days may impair dynamic cerebral autoregulation.Trial registrationUMIN000020703, Registered 2016/01/22.

Factors associated with social support in child-rearing among mothers in post-disaster communities
ConclusionsFactors associated with the obtainment of social support in child-rearing among mothers in post-disaster communities were attributed not only to mothers themselves and family members but also to socioenvironmental factors such as the presence of pre-disaster acquaintances. The presence of pre-disaster acquaintances promoted rich social support in child-rearing in post-disaster communities. When reconstructing a community following changes in residence location after a disaster, the pre-disaster relationships among the community dwellers should be considered from the viewpoint of child-rearing support.
