Responding to a LinkedIn Post About Living in Japan

Sep 26, 2024 | medium.com | Christian Domingo

A small, foreign company based in Japan that I follow on LinkedIn reacted to a post by someone who had written a long list of reasons why Japan, specifically Tokyo, is much better than his home country and why he has been living in Japan for the past ten years. If you ever meet foreigners living in Japan, there’s a common tendency among some to “gatekeep” Japan from other foreigners.
Asthma patients’ and physicians’ perspectives on the burden and management of asthma: post-hoc analysis of APPaRENT 1 and 2 to assess predictors of treatment adherence

Apr 16, 2024 | resmedjournal.com | Giorgio Walter Canonica |Christian Domingo |Kim Lavoie |Servei de Pneumologia |Departament de Medicina |Shireen Khan | +3 more

Patient adherence to maintenance medication is critical for improving clinical outcomes in asthma and is a recommended guiding factor for treatment strategy. Previously, the APPaRENT studies assessed patient and physician perspectives on asthma care; here, a post-hoc analysis aimed to identify patient factors associated with good adherence and treatment prescription patterns.
A Quick Book Review: 1984

Mar 30, 2024 | medium.com | Christian Domingo

My original rating of this book would have been four stars if I was being very critical to my own critique of stories I choose to read but to say that this is less than five stars would also be a disrespect to how powerful the novel is. To my surprise, 1984 did not feel it had been published nearly 75 years ago. You read this book and easily imagine it being in 2024 or literally at any period of time.
A Quick Book Review of Goodbye Tsugumi

Mar 30, 2024 | medium.com | Christian Domingo

Goodbye Tsugumi was a pleasant introduction to Banana Yoshimoto’s style of writing as the details in each page are warm and refreshing as Maria often paints a lovely and precise picture of her environment throughout the entire novel. Her hometown easily reminds me of a small town in Hiroshima despite not confirming where the story takes place but the scenery we are given could be anywhere along the shores of Japan. The thought process that Maria goes through is also so fascinating in itself.
A Quick Book Review: The Quiet American

Mar 30, 2024 | medium.com | Christian Domingo

Where do I begin to express my amazement with this book? Should I start with the moment my fingertips made contact with its pages, fearing it might bore me like the other war story with love in it, the movie Pearl Harbor? Or should I mention how I didn’t want the story to end, and when it did, I wanted to start it all over again and experience that honeymoon-like feeling once more?
SettlingOne Month After the Move

Feb 22, 2024 | medium.com | Christian Domingo

It has been a month since I left home to call another place home. To call the old, familiar “home” still feels odd at times because my new home has anchored so deep; it has easily replaced decades and decades of the location I grew up in, leaving me to wonder, “was that really my hometown?”I left “home” to find a new one, and let me tell you, I found it. Some can’t even fathom living more than a few hours away from family, close friends, or vivid memories.
Long-term efficacy of dupilumab in severe asthma by baseline oral corticosteroid dose

Nov 1, 2023 | openres.ersjournals.com | Juby Jacob-Nara |Christian Domingo |Klaus F Rabe |David Price

IntroductionOral corticosteroids (OCS) are commonly used for asthma management, particularly in patients with severe or uncontrolled disease [1]. However, OCS use is associated with increased risk of both acute adverse events and chronic adverse effects, including metabolic, bone- and muscle-related, cardiovascular and psychiatric complications [2, 3].

An Arcade Machine Taught Me How To Drive

Jun 6, 2023 | medium.com | Christian Domingo

I hate to break it to you, but the classic racing games that we played at Chuck E Cheese as kids - Cruisin', San Francisco Rush, and Daytona USA - are not the ones I'm not referring to, although those machines certainly bring back fond memories of my youth as well. I'm here to talk about the Initial D arcade machine, which sucked hundreds of dollars from me when I first laid eyes on it in 2003.
