Article Synopsis
- * Conducted at Shiga University Hospital in Japan from 2015 to 2021, it included 330 sepsis patients, finding schistocytes in 41, linked to significantly higher 90-day and 1-year mortality rates.
- * The presence of schistocytes correlated with worse organ failure scores, suggesting that their detection could help assess disease severity and shape treatment strategies for better outcomes in sepsis management.
Background: Dynamic chest radiography (DCR) produces sequential radiographs within a short examination time. It is also inexpensive and only uses a low dose of radiation. Because of the lack of reports of evaluating cardiac function using DCR in humans, we investigated its discriminative ability for left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in a study cohort.

This study investigated the ability of a FPD to measure physiological changes in blood flow and to detect pulmonary embolism (PE) in monkeys.
Methods and results: DCR was performed in 5 monkeys using a FPD.
Aim: We aimed to investigate the association between aortic calcification and 90-day mortality in sepsis patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
Methods: We evaluated adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed with sepsis based on the Sepsis-3 criteria and admitted to our intensive care unit between April 2011 and March 2015. They were classified according to the degree of abdominal aortic calcification (severe and non-severe), grouped per age (<65, 65-75, and >75 years), and matched.
Aim: To examine lymphocyte counts as a predictive prognostic marker in patients with coma after cardiac arrest.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with coma after cardiac arrest admitted to the intensive care unit of Shiga University of Medical Science (Otsu, Japan). Lymphocyte counts were measured for 6 days from admission.
