Background: The Greenhouse gas Observations of Biospheric and Local Emissions from the Upper sky (GOBLEU) is a new joint project by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and ANA HOLDING INC. (ANAHD), which operates ANA flights. GOBLEU aims to visualizes our climate mitigation effort progress in support of subnational climate mitigation by collecting greenhouse gas (GHG) data as well as relevant data for emissions (nitrous dioxide, NO) and removals (Solar-Induced Fluorescence, SIF) from regular passenger flights.

- Scrub typhus (ST) has been prevalent in Fukushima, Japan, particularly between 2009 and 2010, with 55 cases reviewed from 2008 to 2017, highlighting the disease's treatability yet difficult diagnosis due to atypical symptoms.
- The study found that many patients (70%) were misdiagnosed initially, with 64% of cases being female and a low fatality rate of 1.8%.
- A significant portion of cases presented without classic symptoms like fever or eschar, leading to severe complications in some patients and emphasizing the challenge of diagnosing ST in its endemic region.
Objectives: : We aimed to review the most recent articles on the rehabilitation of patients after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to identify the methods and effects of rehabilitation on such patients.
Methods: : A literature search was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science from study inception to October 2022 using the following search terms to identify meta-analyses and randomized controlled studies with abstracts written in English: ["COVID-19" or "COVID 19" or "2019-nCoV" or "SARS-CoV" or "novel coronavirus" or "SARS-CoV-2"] and ["rehabilitation"]. Publications investigating the effects of pulmonary and physical rehabilitation on patients with COVID-19 were extracted.
Article Synopsis
- Nerve palsy following total hip arthroplasty (THA) can significantly affect patients, and this study focuses on femoral nerve palsy (FNP) related to the modified Watson-Jones surgical approach.
- The research aimed to identify risk factors for FNP, particularly the relationship between short stature and a shorter distance from the femoral nerve to the anterior acetabular edge (dFN).
- Conducted at a university hospital from 2016 to 2020, the study analyzed data from 676 THA procedures, assessing various patient factors to understand the incidence and possible causes of FNP post-surgery.
Objectives: This study aimed to describe the rehabilitation characteristics of patients with acute stage coronavirus disease managed with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the intensive care unit.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled coronavirus disease patients who underwent rehabilitation following ECMO between April 21, 2020, and August 20, 2021. The following patient data were evaluated: age, sex, weaning, peak C-reactive protein, lowest albumin level, white blood cell count, use of steroids and muscle relaxants, duration of respiratory management, ECMO management and rehabilitation, Medical Research Council (MRC) score, and Barthel index after sedation and at discharge.
