Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is widely used in academia and medicine, especially in human brain science. The international standard for the basic safety and essential performance of the fNIRS equipment as a medical device was established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and published as IEC 80601-2-71. In this review, the authors, who are experienced project leaders in developing and revising the fNIRS standard, provide information on the development of the standard, including the process to date and expectations for the research community.

- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of pathological criteria from the JSCCR guidelines for determining the need for additional treatment in patients with pT1 colorectal carcinoma who had undergone local resection.
- Researchers analyzed data from 4,667 patients and found that those with risk factors for lymph node metastasis had a significantly higher incidence of metastasis and recurrence, while those without risk factors had excellent survival rates.
- Overall, the findings support the JSCCR criteria, highlighting their importance in identifying low-risk patients who can expect favorable outcomes post-resection.
Article Synopsis
- Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is increasingly problematic, especially in young people, leading to skin and soft tissue infections.
- A case study discussed a 15-year-old girl with multiple swollen lymph nodes due to the ST834 strain of CA-MRSA, which was confirmed through tests on lymph node samples.
- Treatment involved linezolid followed by oral clindamycin, highlighting that ST834 CA-MRSA strains, though rare, are linked to conditions like lymphadenitis more frequently than other strains.
Article Synopsis
- A woman in her 40s with a history of high ferritin levels was referred for treatment after undergoing multiple blood draws to manage hemosiderosis, but did not show symptoms of iron overload.
- After genetic testing, she was diagnosed with ferroportin disease, which causes iron to be trapped in tissues rather than being properly exported from the body.
- During her pregnancy, her ferritin levels remained stable and postpartum anemia was effectively treated with a short course of iron supplements, indicating a less severe approach to managing her condition is advisable compared to other forms of hemochromatosis.
