Aims: Limited data exist on risk factors for the long-term outcome of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH). We focused on the index of pulmonary vascular disease (IPVD), an assessment system for pulmonary artery pathology specimens. The IPVD classifies pulmonary vascular lesions into four categories based on severity: (1) no intimal thickening, (2) cellular thickening of the intima, (3) fibrous thickening of the intima, and (4) destruction of the tunica media, with the overall grade expressed as an additive mean of these scores. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between IPVD and the long-term outcome of CHD-PAH.
The risks and benefits of lung biopsy in paediatric PH need to be carefully considered, based on a 1990 report of a 20% mortality rate (14). According to a report from 2013, the mortality rate associated with lung biopsies was 0%, but complications such as bleeding and infections were observed in approximately 30% of cases (15). Haworth stated that lung biopsy in children with PH is essentially not justified, with possible exceptions in children with suspected pulmonary veno-occlusive disease/pulmonary capillary haemangiomatosis, children with persistent PH of the newborn syndrome, and children with PH complicated by congenital heart disease for whom surgery is indicated (16). Moreover, Davies et al. conducted a retrospective review of 64 paediatric lung biopsies, including 18 cases of PH. The results suggest that lung biopsy is recommended for children who have been on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for >2 weeks and for children with PH and pulmonary parenchymal disease (17).
Photos of debuting maiko and geiko often show them sitting in front of large, red-rimmed, gaily colored posters (mokuroku目録). The abundance of bright color and good wishes celebrates their career milestone. Although books on the hanamachi frequently show these vivid posters, few explain them.
In her 2015 memoir, Gion leader Arai Mameji, who debuted as a maiko in 1969, recalls the many mokuroku brought to her okiya by the dresser on the day before her misedashi (debut). Each one bore the name of the supporter who had gifted it.
She credits her resourceful elder geiko sister for using her own network to encourage this support. Since a new maiko has no clients, Arai writes, she must depend on the active support of her elder sister. Arai reports that the mokuroku custom began in Gion, finding favor in other hanamachi, too.
