DIS has not yet been implemented in Japan as of 2011. Therefore, even if risk was negligible, medical institutions have to entrust radioactive temporal waste disposal to Japan Radio Isotopes Association (JRIA) in the current situation. To decide whether DIS should be implemented in Japan or not, cost-saving effect of DIS was estimated by comparing the cost that nuclear medical facilities pay. By implementing DIS, the total annual cost for all nuclear medical facilities in Japan is estimated to be decreased to 30 million yen or less from 710 million yen. DIS would save 680 million yen (96%) per year.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to enhance early diagnosis of candidemia in ICU patients by identifying risk factors and developing a new scoring system, known as the Cerrahpaşa score.
- A retrospective analysis of 100 ICU patients revealed key risk factors such as sepsis and prolonged antibiotic use, while a prospective evaluation of 75 patients established a cutoff score of ≥4 points as indicative of increased candidemia risk.
- The research concluded that the Cerrahpaşa score, combined with a real-time PCR assay, could improve the early detection and management of candidemia in critically ill patients.

Methods: We conducted surveys with 271 people living with HIV (PLHIV), with questions covering sociodemographic factors, telemedicine attitudes and experiences, technological literacy, and access to technological resources and privacy.
