Hypoxemic Human Metapneumovirus Pneumonia in a Young Immunocompetent Man in the First Autumn After the Reclassification of Coronavirus Disease.

Although human metapneumovirus(hMPV) infection can induce severe symptoms in older adults or immunocompromised patients, it usually causes mild symptoms in young immunocompetent adults. The prevalence of hMPV infectious disease is highest during the late winter and early summer. We report a hypoxemic case of hMPV infection in a young immunocompetent man that occurred in the first autumn after the reclassification of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from Class 2 to Class 5.

Evaluation of iliac morphology and innominate bone rotation in unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Three-dimensional assessments of unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) have not been performed yet. Using computed tomography scanning, this study aimed to determine the morphological and rotational abnormalities of the innominate bone in female patients with unilateral DDH. Patients with unilateral and bilateral DDH were compared with healthy patients.

Management of Mild Postpartum Anemia: Is Iron Administration Effective?

Background This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of iron therapy in the treatment of mild postpartum anemia. Methods We conducted a case-control study involving women who underwent cesarean section at our hospital between 2015 and 2020. Following propensity score matching, participants were categorized into two groups based on whether or not they received iron therapy.

Effect of whey protein-derived decapeptide on mood status and blood variables in healthy adults: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over trial.

Purpose: The importance of maintaining good mental health with overall well-being has recently drawn attention from various fields. Functional peptides found from various protein sources reportedly reduce mental health problems. We found a new decapeptide (AJI-801) from whey proteins, which can possibly improve mood status and increase blood acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) levels.
