Objectives: Introduction of the radiofrequency identification (RFID) marking system has enabled the precise localization of small pulmonary nodules, facilitating precise sublobar lung resection (PSR). However, the necessary hybrid operating room (HOR) for such precision procedures is mainly available in advanced medical institutions and not universally accessible. Performance of marker placement and lung resection at different facilities without the HOR can promote the widespread adoption of PSR.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of five patients who underwent thoracoscopic PSR at Fukuoka University Hospital after placement of RFID markers under cone beam computed tomography guidance at the Fukuoka Seisyukai Hospital from March to June 2024.
Results: In all patients, the RFID marker was successfully placed in the intended locations, and no marker migration and no clinical complications occurred during patient transfer from the Fukuoka Seisyukai Hospital to Fukuoka University Hospital. All patients underwent uneventful simultaneous marker removal and lesion resection within 72 h of marker placement.
Conclusion: It is feasible to transfer a patient to another facility after placing an RFID marker and subsequently perform PSR.

This study examined the implementation of a state law in the southern United States that required hospitals to report gunshot wounds (GSWs) to law enforcement by exploring changes in the proportion of reported GSW cases in a level 1 trauma center. In the first year of implementation, 95.7% of the GSW admissions who arrived via a private vehicle or walked in were reported to law enforcement; this decreased to 71.

Introduction: Combined vascular endothelial growth factor/programmed death-ligand 1 blockade through atezolizumab/bevacizumab (A/B) is the current standard of care in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A/B substantially improved objective response rates compared with tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib; however, a majority of patients will still not respond to A/B. Strong scientific rationale and emerging clinical data suggest that faecal microbiota transfer (FMT) may improve antitumour immune response on PD-(L)1 blockade.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and complex cardiac arrhythmia requiring multifaceted management strategies. This review explores the integration of large language models (LLMs) and machine learning into AF care, with a focus on clinical utility, privacy preservation, and ethical deployment. Federated and transfer learning methods have enabled high-performance predictive modeling across distributed datasets without compromising data security.

Background: Cross-sector collaboration is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing complex health challenges, including those in mental health. Industry-academic partnerships play a vital role in advancing research and developing health solutions, yet differing priorities and perspectives can make collaboration complex.
Objective: This study aimed to identify key principles to support effective industry-academic partnerships, from the perspective of industry partners, and develop this into actionable guidance, which can be applied across sectors.

Background: Hospital falls represent a persistent and significant threat to safety within health care systems worldwide, impacting both patient well-being and the occupational health of health care staff. While patient falls are a primary concern, addressing fall risks for all individuals within the health care environment remains a key objective. Caregiver visibility and spatial monitoring are recognized as crucial considerations in mitigating fall-related incidents.
