    Abstract Messenger RNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection, or COVID-19 dramatically changed the landscape of the fight against COVID-19 pandemic. However, they might be associated with various side effects, such as myocarditis. Herein we report a case of alopecia universalis occurring after injection of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a Japanese patient. Healthcare workers should be aware of this rather rare complication after vaccinations.

    Abstract Japan has suffered from COVID-19 with significant mortality, but its prefectural differences are not well investigated. Since the mortality due to COVID-19 was likely to be associated with the number of infected cases, the population density, and the proportion of the elderly population, we tried to detect the outlier prefectures by multiple linear regression analyses. With the use of the Hampel identifier, we found that Hokkaido and Hyogo were the outlier prefectures with higher mortality after adjusting the variables above. Further studies should delineate the causes of these differences.

    Abstract Repetitive manipulation of thumbs and fingers too much can cause de Quervain tenosynovitis. Some smartphones are becoming larger than their predecessors, with larger display, which might lead to more occurrence of tenosynovitis. A Japanese man in his 40s developed de Quervain tenosynovitis after buying a smartphone (iPhone X) while using his thumb to handle it. Ceasing to use the thumb and using his right index finger while holding the phone eased his symptoms and he recovered without specific treatment. Health care providers should be aware of this phenomenon, particularly related to newly purchased smartphones.

    Abstract Introduction: With the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there is an argument on whether we should increase the number of testing for the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) to mitigate the epidemic in a given country. Therefore, we investigated the correlation between testing number and mortality to evaluate the hypothesis.
    Methods: Data on an open-access database of COVID-19 was retrieved. Member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), BRICs nations (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), and Taiwan were included in the analysis, but 2 countries were removed as outliers.
    Results: There was a weak, positive correlation between mortality and testing (r = 0.34,
    Conclusions: We found a very small positive correlation between testing number and mortality for COVID-19.
