Background: In the past, blood products were not transported to the Ogasawara Islands because of the distance; the islands are approximately 1000 km from the mainland and lack an airport. The Ogasawara Blood Rotation system involves the routine, long-distance transportation of Type O, RhD-positive, irradiated red blood cells to rescue patients with acute hemorrhage and severe anemia and to reduce wastage from the expiration of red blood cell solution.
Study Design And Methods: Blood transfusion and utilization in the Ogasawara blood rotation (BR) system were examined from December 2014 to March 2017.
When obstructive colitis becomes fulminant, it is known as 'acute necrotizing colitis'. We report a rare case of acute necrotizing colitis due to sigmoid colon cancer, in which shock status occurred within ten hours of onset. A 79-year-old female with acute abdominal pain was transported to our hospital with acute shock.

- The study focused on 26 patients with traumatic thoracic aortic rupture (TTAR) to examine how different factors influenced their survival outcomes.
- The main findings indicated that a younger age was linked to better survival rates, while the severity of multiple injuries, represented by the Injury Severity Score (ISS), was higher in those who died.
- Emergency operations had mixed results, with immediate surgeries resulting in some deaths, whereas all patients who had delayed surgeries survived, highlighting the complexity of treating TTAR.

Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
October 2012
Objective: We investigated our 12-year experience of traumatic diaphragmatic injury (TDI) in our emergency medical center. This study aimed to clarify clinical features of TDI and identify factors affecting mortality and morbidity in TDI treatment.
Methods: We analyzed clinical characteristics, Injury Severity Score (ISS), probability of survival (Ps), and mortality of patients treated for TDI at the Tertiary Emergency Medical Center of Tokyo Metropolitan Bokutoh Hospital between January 1999 and December 2010.
