Since the prehistoric era, balneotherapy has been important as a folk therapy in Japan, where the greatest number of hot springs (spas) have been developed, utilized for balneotherapy, and enjoyed by many citizens in the world. In the last centuries, however, hot spring areas chose the “economic rational behavior” to convert from balneotherapy resorts to commercialized amusement and entertainment resorts for the purpose of economic development. This chapter describes this history and then casts light on the blind spots thus far ignored in one-disciplinary approaches. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this chapter views the problems in the medical, behavioral, regional and national dimensions. Then, this chapter explores the sustainable systems of balneotherapy-centered region and the strategies to reconvert hot spring resorts to balneotherapeutic resorts in the sense of modern medicine and hygiene. This chapter proposes the utilization of medical electronic apparatuses and medical communication network systems to promote medical tourism in local areas. Finally, this chapter discusses the acceptability of the strategies to the medical and local communities.

Infant cry is considered as the first biological signal communicated by the newborns to the mother and the outside world. In NICU, there is a huge need to monitor the physiological conditions of the premature and full term infants. In such environment, the cry signal conveys significant information in terms of the distress of the infant and thereby needs of the infants can be well attended. Establishment of the portable device is thus essential for such scenario. This work enumerates a primitive experimental study on developing portable electronic medical device for infant cry recognition. The setup comprises of a voice recorder, NI My RIO processor with a Lab view followed by the LCD Tablet for display. The cry signals were recorded by placing the voice recorder in the incubator and were qualitatively assessed by the clinician and confirm its suitability for the experimental study. A threshold based classification was employed which sends the voice based alarm to the tablet. The continuous monitoring of such facility in NICU provides the behavioral status of the infant

Sperm motility is known to affect fertilization; however, little is known about the relationship between frozen–thawed sperm motility and in vivo fertilization following superovulatory treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate a sperm function test as potential predictors of embryo production following superovulatory treatment in cattle. Two to five batches of semen (Japanese black bull, n = 4, A to D) were diluted with egg york-citrate-glycerol in 0.5 mL plastic straws, and they were stored in liquid nitrogen until analyzed. Frozen–thawed spermatozoa were evaluated for motility {motile sperm concentration (MSC, million mL–1), progressive MSC (PMSC, million mL–1) and velocity (μm s–1)} using a sperm quality analyzer for bulls (SQA-Vb, Medical Electronic Systems, Caesarea, Israel). Each sample of 20 μL aspirated into the disposable capillary, was inserted into SQA-Vb. Measurements were displayed within 75 s. Intra-assay CVs of MSC, PMSC, and velocity were 14.2, 7.3 and 7.5%, respectively. Inter-assey CVs of them were 13.5, 3.9 and 4.3% respectively. Superstimulated donors (Japanese black cows, n = 161) were artificially inseminated with one dose of frozen–thawed semen (bull A = 74, B = 46, C = 21 and D = 20). The proportion of transferable embryo (IETS grade 1 to 3) was examined on day 7 (day 0 = estrus). Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Scheffe multiple comparison test, and Fisher’s z-transformation. MSC, PMSC and velocity values differed significantly among each bull. The values of bull A were much lower than those of the other bulls. The proportion of transferable embryos produced by bull A was significantly lower than that of other bulls (P < 0.05, Table 1). Correlations showed significant association between MSC and proportion of transferable embryos (r = 0.99, P < 0.01). We conclude that bovine sperm motility using a SQA-Vb is a useful predictor of embryo production following superovulatory treatment.
