- The study highlights the challenges in distinguishing COVID-19 from other illnesses that show similar symptoms, leading to possible misdiagnosis.
- Conducted at a specialized COVID-19 emergency room in Tokyo, the research reviewed data from 2,555 patients and found that only 17.9% were actually diagnosed with COVID-19, while the majority had other conditions.
- The most common non-COVID-19 diagnoses included the common cold and gastroenteritis, emphasizing the need for careful differential diagnosis to avoid overlooking potentially fatal diseases among patients.
Introduction: One of the most prominent and concerning complications associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is venous and arterial thromboembolisms. The aim of the present study was to delineate the prevalence of thromboembolic events and the current status of prophylactic anticoagulation therapy in patients with COVID-19 in Japan.
Methods: Between February 1 and August 31, 2020, we performed a dual-center, retrospective cohort study based on data obtained from the medical charts of COVID-19 patients admitted to healthcare facilities in Japan.
The effects of chronic administration of piceatannol-enriched (9.5% w/w) passion fruit seed extract (PFSE) on the cardiovascular damage induced in a high-fat (HF) diet-fed model of Fischer 344 rats were evaluated. Rats were fed the control, HF, or HF diets containing PFSE (0.

In PHT rabbits, plasma triglyceride was markedly elevated postprandially compared with healthy Japanese white (JW) rabbits. In physiological experiments, the ring preparation of the thoracic aorta was suspended in an organ bath filled with modified Krebs-Henseleit solution, and the developed tension was recorded.

In this study, we isolated the second major polyphenolic compound of passion fruit seeds and identified it as scirpusin B, which is a dimer of piceatannol. We investigated the antioxidant activities and vasorelaxing effects of these polyphenols.
