Article Synopsis
- The miniaturization of ultrasound scanners has led to the rise of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS), allowing bedside use for quick clinical decision-making, especially in emergencies.
- In Japan, while POCUS is becoming more recognized globally, formal guidance was previously limited to trauma assessments and central venous procedures.
- The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine has now established comprehensive clinical guidance for POCUS, addressing its principles and applications in emergency care, which aims to enhance ultrasound education and the quality of acute medical services in Japan.
Background: Anaphylaxis is a systemic, life-threating, allergic reaction in which the clinical features may vary in different populations or due to the allergic triggers. Moreover, the timing and characteristics of biphasic anaphylactic reactions remain unclear.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of anaphylaxis cases assessed and treated in Japanese hospitals.
Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence and characteristics of thoracic injuries associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed under the 2005 and the 2010 guidelines.
Methods: We evaluated patients who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 2010 (2005 group) and 2012 (2010 group). We analyzed the incidence and characteristics of rib fractures and pneumothoraces received during CPR as determined by medical records and image studies.
Aim: Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction that potentially causes death. Most anaphylactic reactions are uniphasic, but some cases may be biphasic or protracted. However, these clinical epidemiology concepts are unfamiliar in Japan.

The elevated diaphragm revealed by chest X-ray 7 years after the operation led to diagnosis of diaphragmatic eventration. Since any symptom was seen in the early period, "wait and watch" strategy was done for management.
