Introduction The post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) encompasses multiple, diverse
conditions, such as physical disability, cognitive impairment, and depression. We sought to …

Skeletal muscle wasting in the intensive care unit (ICU) has been associated with mortality,
but it is unclear whether sarcopenia, defined by skeletal muscle mass and function, is useful …

This paper reports on the results of a study which compares lung density values obtained
from electrical impedance tomography (EIT), clinical diagnosis and CT values (HU) within a …

Aim In‐hospital cardiac arrest is an important issue in health care today. Data regarding in‐hospital
cardiac arrest in Japan is limited. In Australia and the USA, the Rapid Response …

Objectives Measurement of skeletal muscle wasting using computed tomography (CT) is
widely known to be useful in predicting prognosis. Although some reports have been found in …

Few studies have reported on the effectiveness of awake prone therapy in the clinical course
of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients. This study aimed to investigate the effects of …

The consistency of regional lung density measurements as estimated by Electrical Impedance
Tomography (EIT), in eleven patients supported by a mechanical ventilator, was validated …

Methods This single-center prospective study enrolled consecutive patients who were admitted
in the ICU of Kitasato University Hospital for COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure …

Background The effectiveness of acute-phase cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) in intensive
care settings remains unclear in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study …

In this paper we report the results of our study in which we compared lung density values
obtained from EIT and CT values (HU) within a region of interest. The purpose was to verify …
