en: Tumor-node metastasis staging system for thymic epithelial tumors.

en: This TNM staging system is an excellent predictor for the prognosis of thymic epithelial tumors including thymic carcinoma. The N and/or M factors influence the prognosis more than T factor. For the subclassification of the N and/or M factors, large-scale studies including the resectable and unresectable tumors are necessary.

en: Three-dimensional imaging of thoracic diseases with multi-detector row CT

en: The benefits of multi-detector row CT (MDCT) relative to single-detector row helical CT are considerable. Multi-detector row CT allows shorter acquisition times, greater coverage, and superior image resolution. These factors substantially increase the diagnostic accuracy of the examination. Three-dimensional (3D) volume data from MDCT provides various unique applications on thoracic diseases. These includes isotropic viewings, use of multiplanar reformation (MPR), maximum and minimum intensity projections (MIP and minIP), and volume rendering performed from external and internal perspectives allowing the user to "fly around" and "fly through" the structures. Recent advances in 3D volume rendering put real-time, interactive virtual reality guidance of the procedures such as bronchoscopy and surgery into practice.

en: Report on the Second International Seminar and Workshop on Technological Competency as Caring in the Health Sciences 2018

en: The Second International Seminar and Workshop (ISW) on Technological Competency as Caring in the Health Sciences was offered by the Rozzano Locsin Institute for Advancing the Theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing, and held from August 17- 19, 2018 at Tokushima University in Tokushima,Japan. The ISW was envisioned to provide a platform for sharing research and scholarly works into innovative design and developments on studying and applying the theory of Technological Competency as Caring in the Health Sciences. This ISW was founded on the theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing (TCCN) (Locsin, 2005). The ISW, as aimed broadened the influence of theory, research, and practice through the advancements in technology, caring, and nursing, as espoused in the theory of Technological Competency as Caring particularly within the Health Sciences. This report illuminates the contents of the ISW and its outcomes, and reveals the direction of the theory, its development, and future implications through formalized activities. J. Med. Invest. 66 : 54-57, February, 2019.
