First, history of PACS (picture archiving and communication system for medical use) in Japan is described in two parts: in part 1, the early stage of PACS development from 1984 to 2002, and in part 2 the matured stage from 2002 to 2010. PACS in Japan has been developed and installed by local manufacturers by their own technology and demand from domestic hospitals. Part 1 mainly focuses on quantitative growth and part 2 on qualitative change. In part 2, integration of PACS into RIS (radiology information system), HIS (hospital information system), EPR (electronic patient record), teleradiology and IHE (integrating healthcare enterprise) is reported. Interaction with other elements of technology such as moving picture network system and three dimensional display is also discussed. Present situation of main 4 large size hospitals is presented. Second, history of PACS in Korea is reported. Very acute climbing up of filmless PACS diffusion was observed from 1997 to 2000. The reasons for such evolution are described and discussed. Also changes of PACS installation and system integration with other systems such as HIS and role of them in radiological diagnoses in Korea since 2002 are described. Third, history in China is investigated by checking international academic journals in English and described as far as events are logically linked and consistently meaningful.

Prevalence of Arrhythmias in Patients With Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
December 2024
Section of Interventional Cardiology, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Washington, District of Columbia, USA.
Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is an important cause of angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). It is unclear whether CMD is associated with arrhythmia.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of arrhythmias in patients with ANOCA and CMD compared to those in patients with ANOCA without CMD.
Influence of Prior Imaging Review on Recommendations for Additional Diagnostic Testing: Retrospective Analysis of Imaging Reports in a Chiropractic Radiology Practice.
J Manipulative Physiol Ther
December 2024
Clinical Radiology, Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport, Iowa.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how prior imaging reviews affect decisions for additional diagnostic tests in a chiropractic radiology setting and their impact on radiographic interpretation.
- It involved analyzing radiology reports from a year-long period, focusing on the use of both internal and external imaging archives to clarify diagnoses.
- The results indicated that prior imaging helped avoid unnecessary follow-up tests in nearly 29% of cases, enhancing diagnostic confidence and leading to better patient management.
Association Between Lumbar Spine Disorder and Genovarum: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Med J Islam Repub Iran
April 2024
School of Medicine, Shahroud University of Medical Science, Shahroud, Iran.
Background: It is becoming increasingly important to study pathology at the knee and spine because of their role in causing pain and deformity in one another. Compression of the lumbar nerve root can disrupt innervation to the thigh muscles, cause an imbalance of muscle and result in varus deformity. In this study, we try to figure out the relation between lumbar spine disorders and genu varum and realize if lumbar spine disorders can cause varus deformity in a patient.

Ophthalmol Glaucoma
September 2024
Wilmer Eye Institute, John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. Electronic address:
Objective: Characteristics of individuals with angle closure may be useful in targeted screening of family members. Here, we assess if findings gathered during examination and imaging of patients with a known angle-closure diagnosis (probands) could better determine the risk of angle closure in the patients' siblings.
Design: Cross-sectional study of patients with known angle closure and their siblings.
[Differences in anterior segment structure and pupillary diastolic characteristics of eyes with primary angle closure suspects under light and shade environments].

September 2024
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150001, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined structural changes in the eyes of patients with suspected primary angle-closure (PACS) and measured how their pupils responded to light and dark conditions.
- Data from 37 PACS patients (66 eyes) was collected, focusing on differences in eye anatomy and pupil dynamics, particularly looking at groups with and without acute primary angle-closure (APAC).
- Results showed differences in pupil dilation speeds between groups but no significant overall differences in other measured parameters, revealing correlations between pupil dynamics and specific anatomical features of the eye.
