Outline of Final Research Achievements

A definition of "induration" in a dictionary was vague, and there were not most mentions to dermatology book, pathology book either.　A study report about induration increases after 2005.
In addition, from a question paper and results of listening comprehension investigation, many nurses experienced induration and noticed inconvenience in manipulation and felt distress of the patient.　By drug, attribute of induration was different.　The nurses did various care, but the effect of care was not felt.　The nurses ware aware of sympathy and feeling regret, liability for outbreak of induration.　However, it became clear that nurses cannot offer the care that could realize availability.
