Publishing Scientific Journals
Sysmex Journal International Available in More than 100 Countries
We distribute Sysmex Journal International to medical institutions and college libraries in more than 100 countries around the world, thus keeping many healthcare professionals updated on current clinical medicine and medical testing.
Compiling Picture Books
Publishing Picture Books to Explain Diseases and Testing
Sysmex compiles educational picture books on diseases and testing, which are distributed free of charge to clinics and other medical institutions to keep in their waiting rooms.
Introducing the characteristics of diseases and procedures of testing and treatment in a simple way, the picture books are narrated in the form of stories to keep children and readers unfamiliar with medicine interested as they read. We have received favorable feedback from the readers of these books.
Publishing an Picture Book on Von Willebrand Disease
In fiscal 2010, Sysmex published a new picture book, "A Story About Von Willebrand Disease." Von Willebrand disease is a hereditary abnormality that causes bleeding from the skin or mucous membranes. It is known to be caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of the blood coagulation factor called von Willebrand factor.
The book introduces basic knowledge of von Willebrand disease, such as causes, types and symptoms, as well as testing and treatment methods, for easy understanding. English and Chinese versions of the book have also been published.
