Summary
This paper documents the history of a joint symposium on medical physics, initiated in 2021 and evolving into an annual event. It highlights the collaboration between the Japan Society of Medical Physics (JSMP) and Korean medical physics societies.
Area of Science:
- Medical Physics
- International Collaboration
- Scientific Meetings
Background:
- The symposium originated from a 2021 Korea-Japan joint meeting on Medical Physics (KJMP).
- Initial joint symposiums were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to online or hybrid formats.
- The event has been held annually since 2022, fostering international scientific exchange.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a historical record of the joint symposiums.
- To document the evolution of international collaboration in medical physics.
- To highlight the successful partnership between JSMP, KAMPiNA, and KSMP with AAPM.
Main Methods:
- The paper reviews the history and development of the joint symposium.
- It details the organizational efforts and collaborations involved.
- Key milestones and the transition to annual meetings are presented.
Main Results:
- The symposium has successfully convened annually since 2022.
- It has fostered a strong collaborative relationship between Japanese, Korean, and North American medical physics communities.
- The 2025 meeting marks the fourth iteration of this significant international event.
Conclusions:
- The joint symposium has become a key platform for international scientific discourse in medical physics.
- Continued collaboration strengthens global networks and advances the field.
- The event's success underscores the importance of sustained international partnerships.

01:25cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways
8.6K
Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) is an essential second messenger that activates protein kinase A (PKA) and regulates various biological processes. A single epinephrine molecule binds to GPCR and activates several heterotrimeric G proteins, each stimulating multiple adenylyl cyclase, amplifying the signal, and synthesizing large numbers of cAMP molecules. Small changes in cAMP concentration affect PKA activity. The binding of four cAMP molecules induces a conformational change in PKA,...

1.3K
An Incident or Occurrence Report in a healthcare setting is a crucial document used to record any unexpected occurrence that may or may not have affected a patient, employee, or visitor. Such reports are critical to improving patient safety and include all details leading up to and including the event.
Purposes:
In the healthcare industry, reports play a crucial role in documenting incidents within an agency. The primary objective of these reports is to ensure patient safety, uphold the...

01:07MAPK Signaling Cascades
8.7K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

01:24Data Reporting and Recording
5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...
