The 21st Center of Excellence (COE) program of "International Consortium for Medical Care of Hibakusha and Radiation Life Science" recently established in Nagasaki University can now serve our knowledge and experience much more directly. Its activity can be further extended to the radiocontaminated areas around the world, and based on the lessons of the past, it can indeed contribute to the future planning of the Network of Excellence (NOE) for Radiation Education Program as well as Radiation Emergency Medical Preparedness and Assistance under the auspices of the WHO-REMPAN. Within the frame of International Consortium of Radiation Research, a molecular epidemiology of thyroid diseases are now conducted in our departments in addition to international medical assistance. The clue of radiation-associated thyroid carcinogenesis may give us a new concept on experimental and epidemiological approaches to low dose radiation effects on human health, including those of internal radiation exposure.

  • Evidence-Based Guidelines Needed on the Use of CT Scanning in Japan
    Review Article Evidence-based Guidelines Needed on the Use of CT Scanning in Japan JMAJ 48(9): 451–457, 2005 Nader Ghotbi,*1,2 Mariko Morishita,*1,2 Akira Ohtsuru,*1 Shunichi Yamashita*2,3 Abstract The increasing use of medical radiation, especially in diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scanning, has raised many concerns over the possible adverse effects of procedures performed without a serious risk versus benefit consideration, particularly in children. The growth in the number of CT scanning installations and usage, some new and unprecedented applications, the relatively wide variation of radiation doses applied by different radiological facilities, and the worrisome estimations of increased cancer incidence in more susceptible organs of children all point to the need for a clear specification of evidence-based guidelines to help limit and control the amount of radiation doses the Japanese population is being exposed to through medical diagnostic imaging technologies. Recommendations have already been issued on how to reduce the exposure dose to the minimum required especially in pediatric CT but more work is needed to establish good practice principles by the medical community through determination of more reasonable indications to request CT scanning. Key words Computed tomography (CT) scanning, Evidence-based guidelines, Medical radiation, Pediatric CT, Radiation induced cancer in the average annual collective radiation doses Introduction (Fig. 1b).

  • Nonvascular Extremity Ultrasound ______
    Comments and Responses Regarding Draft Local Coverage Determination: Nonvascular Extremity Ultrasound _______________________________________________________________________ As an important part of Medicare Local Coverage Determination (LCD) development, National Government Services solicits comments from the provider community and from members of the public who may be affected by or interested in our LCDs. The purpose of the advice and comment process is to gain the expertise and experience of those commenting. We would like to thank those who suggested changes to the Nonvascular Extremity Ultrasound LCD . The official notice period for the final LCD begins on April 15, 2009, and the final determination will become effective on July 1, 2009. Comment: A physician from the Indiana Carrier Advisory Committee (CAC) suggested to include the following ICD-9-CM codes: 729.5 – Other disorders of soft tissues, pain in limb; 782.2 – Symptoms involving skin and other integumentary tissue localized superficial swelling, mass, or lump. There are times when the localized superficial code is more appropriately used. Response: The contractor agrees that these diagnoses are consistent with indications in the LCD and the suggested ICD-9-CM codes will be added. _______________________________________________________________________ Comment: A podiatrist suggested adding the following to the “LIMITATIONS” section of the LCD: Neuromas, plantar fasciitis, superficial ganglia, bursae and abscesses unless there is documented evidence of some clinical presentation that obscures the clinician's ability to establish these simple clinical diagnoses. In the case of plantar fasciitis, diagnostic ultrasound is NOT to be used in making an initial determination (diagnosis) and then should ONLY be used after a failed course of conservative management.

  • Overview of the Fukushima Nuclear Plant Accident and Early Response
    Overview of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident and Early Response Shunichi Yamashita, MD., PhD. Center for Advanced Radiation Emergency Medicine, National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology, and Fukushima Medical University, Japan On behalf of the Japanese colleagues in the arena of radiation emergency medicine and dose evaluation, it is highly appreciated and a really turning point to have the WHO- REMPAN on-line web symposium in this special occasion of the ten years since the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and the subsequent accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), but significant challenges still remain. All of the REMPAN members surely remember or recall, just 10 years ago in Nagasaki, three weeks before the unforeseen Fukushima NPP accident, the 13th WHO-REMPAN meeting was held and discussed deeply about the necessity of practical approach for radiation emergency medicine, including strengthening the internal communication within the network through the current WHO-REMPAN newsletters. This overview recalls what really happened just after the Fukushima NPP accident and presents the lessons learned from the initial chaos and confusion of the Fukushima accident. The declining creditability of the Japanese governmental and official bodies may worsen the difficult situation of radiation fear and anxiety. The Fukushima NPP accident has also severely shattered public faith in the academic societies and international regulatory bodies. Therefore, it is important to regain public trust and narrow the gaps in knowledge between the experts and the public on the stochastic effects of low-dose radiation exposure, where a large uncertainty exist, and on public health emergency and wide radio-contamination areas from the nuclear disaster, which poses a real problem.

  • Chapter 1 Preparedness Against a Pandemic Crisis
    The Independent Investigation Commission on the Japanese Government’s Response to COVID-19: Report on Best Practices and Lessons Learned Part III Best practices and challenges Chapter 1 Preparedness against a pandemic crisis What systems do you build up in advance to respond to a crisis in case it happens? Being ready for the onslaught of a crisis is generally called preparedness. Japan’s preparedness in dealing with infectious disease crises has evolved through the nation’s experience of responding to a series of such crises. In this chapter, we examine the state of Japan’s preparedness for managing an infectious disease crisis up to the point just before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease by reviewing its history of dealing with such crises. In particular, we focus on laws and organizations as an infrastructure for supporting governance in managing an infectious disease crisis. 1. The history of Japan’s efforts to control infectious disease crises Infectious disease crises have been taking place with increasing frequency around the world since the turn of the century. In Japan, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry took charge of building and expanding crisis management systems against infectious diseases each time such a crisis hit somewhere in the world. Among these crises of the 21st century, two – the H1N1 novel influenza pandemic of 2009 and the Ebola virus that hit western Africa in 2014 – have played particularly important roles in prompting the government, mainly the health ministry, to build and enhance Japan’s capacity
