Publications such as books
- 2023/01/02, Physical Therapy and Research in Patients with Cancer, This collection of chapters describes in detail the physical therapy research in patients with various types of cancers to help medical professionals and physical therapists help improve the physical function, activity of daily living, quality of life, the survival rate in cancer patients and cancer survivors. It provides not only information on rehabilitation but details on physical therapy cancer research and research methods. The book provides practical skills to treat the patients and to create useful and effective physical therapy programs by giving step-by-step tutorials to help readers learn various techniques. Along with presenting an introduction to physical therapy of cance and new findings, the authors provide recommendations on each cancer therapy.
Physical Therapy and Research in Patients with Cancer is aimed at physical therapists and student physical therapists. Undergraduate and postgraduate students also can use our book to understand the basics and get up-to-date information. By sharing the latest research with our readers, the book creates a foundation for further development in this field of study., Physical Exercise and Skeletal Muscle Adaptation in Cancer Cachexia, Springer Nature, 2023, 01, Scholarly Book, Joint work, Mitsunori Miyazaki, 978-981-19-6709-2, 578

- 2013/08/31, Basic Biology and Current Understanding of Skeletal Muscle, Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that constitutes approximately thirty percent of total body mass and adapts rapidly to changing functional demands. Skeletal muscle is not only the generator of force production, but also plays a crucial role in whole body metabolism and energy consumption. In this book, leading experts in the area of exercise biochemistry and molecular biology in skeletal muscle provide an up-to-date view of the molecular basis of various adaptations of skeletal muscle, with emphasis on new biological concepts (muscle stem cells, muscle steroidogenesis, etc). This book deals with the recent intriguing role of heat shock protein (HSP), AMPK and reactive oxygen species (ROS) for muscle morphology, function and metabolism. Discussed also is the molecular mechanism for protein metabolism and therapeutic application for sarcopenia. The deeper understanding of the signal transduction and modification in skeletal muscle will develop new therapeutic strategies for preventing physical disability and increased risk of morbidity/mortality due to the loss of muscle mass., Cellular mechanisms regulating protein metabolism in skeletal muscle cell -Age-associated alteration of intracellular signaling governing protein synthesis and degradation-, Nova Science Pub Inc., 2013, 8, Scholarly Book, Joint work, English, Yusuke Ono, Mitsunori Miyazaki, Akihiko Yamaguchi, Kunihiro Sakuma and Isao Morita, Kunihiro Sakuma and Akihiko Yamaguchi, Wataru Aoi, Tomonori Ogata, Fuminori Kawano, Masataka Suwa, Akira Wagatsuma, Katsuji Aizawa, 78-1-62808-367-5, 330
