    Abstract Background: It has been assumed that economically developed countries are well nourished compared to developing countries, but little is known about how economic status affects dietary micronutrient intake in the future childbearing generation.
    Objective: We analyzed the trend of dietary micronutrient adequacy in young adults in Japan, as one of the representative countries with advanced dietary habits and economic progress.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using 2 web-accessible databases, namely the Japanese National Health and Nutrition Survey and the World Development Indicators.
    Results: Japan has been facing a progressive insufficiency of dietary vitamins A and C and iron, especially among young adults, over the past 25 years. The hidden progression of silent malnutrition has become more apparent since the 2010s, coinciding with a series of economic recessions and natural disasters.
    Conclusions: Given that parental dietary habits play a critical role in ensuring a balanced diet for their children, our findings underscore the importance of proactive nutrition counseling and education, especially for young adults of childbearing age who have been identified as vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies. In line with this policy, we would like to suggest the use of digital transformation platforms as a potential solution in the future, especially for the digital native population.

    Abstract Background: Coronavirus disease 2019- (COVID-19-) associated cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCCs) have been reported as a rare neurological abnormality in severe cases. Here, a case of CLOCCs in the early stages of mild COVID-19 infection during the Omicron BA.1 epidemic is reported along with a literature review.
    Case report: A Japanese woman with COVID-19 presented to the emergency department with altered consciousness and cerebellar symptoms a day after fever onset. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a lesion with restricted diffusion in the corpus callosum. She exhibited no complications of pneumonia, her neurological symptoms resolved after two days, and after 10 days, the brain lesion was not detected on MRI.
    Literature review: The PubMed database was searched for case reports that met the CLOCC definition proposed by Starkey et al. The search yielded 15 COVID-19-associated cases reported as CLOCCs and 13 cases described under former terms, including mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion. Adult cases with a documented course were accompanied by pneumonia or hypoxemia, whereas pediatric cases were mostly accompanied by a multisystem inflammatory syndrome.
    Conclusion: COVID-19-associated CLOCCs can occur, even at an early, non-severe stage. Therefore, this condition may be underdiagnosed if MRI is not performed.

    Abstract While neck stiffness belongs to the classic triad of meningitis symptoms together with fever and altered mental status, it can also be attributed to inflammation from prevertebral space infection. We describe a difficult-to-diagnose case of prevertebral abscess associated with meningitis. Prevertebral space infection, vertebral osteomyelitis, and meningitis are reported to be associated with each other. When a patient presents with an altered mental status due to meningitis, signs and symptoms may be obscured and physicians may be unable to conduct detailed physical examinations or identify symptoms beyond neck stiffness. The threshold for imaging evaluation may need to be lowered for patients at high risk for prevertebral abscess or vertebral osteomyelitis. Physicians need to recognize this clinical entity, as prompt referral to specialists in head and neck surgery is essential for timely drainage.

    Abstract Background: In June 2013, the fear of adverse events compelled the government to withdraw its recommendation of the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Since then, the rate of vaccination among Japanese girls has dropped dramatically.
    Objective: This study aims to assess how the Japanese government's policy change against HPV vaccination influenced the degree to which parents in remote areas in Japan accepted the vaccine for their daughters, and to analyze related factors.
    Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to parents with daughters attending secondary schools or high schools in two remote areas of the country.
    Results: Out of 700 eligible parents, 246 (35%) responded. The percentage of parents in the "accept group" (those whose daughters had already been vaccinated or those who intended to have their daughters vaccinated) dropped from 54% before the government withdrew its HPV vaccine recommendation to only 4.5% after the withdrawal (1.5% of whom intended to vaccinate and 3% of whom had already had their daughters vaccinated). Vaccine acceptance was higher in parents who were employed as healthcare workers, had been educated through to the completion of high school, had good levels of knowledge about cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine, had low perceived barriers against the HPV vaccine, and received high levels of social support.
    Conclusion: The acceptance of HPV vaccination among parents was low overall. Higher acceptance may be possible if the government restores its recommendation and healthcare providers disseminate appropriate information about the HPV vaccination and cervical cancer.

    Abstract Oral hypofunction is the stage at which recovery can be expected with proper diagnosis, management, and motivation before oral dysfunction occurs. The knowledge and attitude toward oral function can influence the maintenance and improvement of oral function. However, whether middle-aged and older adults with declining oral function have knowledge of their oral function and how this knowledge and their attitude affect their oral function are unclear. Therefore, we aimed to examine (1) the relationship between knowledge and attitude toward oral function and hypofunction in individuals with suspected oral hypofunction and (2) changes in knowledge and attitude toward oral function through evaluation and education. Participants aged ≥50 years were enrolled during their first community dental clinic visit. A questionnaire assessment of knowledge and attitudes before and after oral function evaluation was performed. The oral function was initially assessed with seven criteria: oral hygiene; oral dryness; occlusal force; tongue pressure; tongue-lip motor, masticatory, and swallowing function. Associations between knowledge and attitudes and their changes were statistically analyzed. Fifty-nine participants (93.7%) were unaware of "oral hypofunction." Associations between knowledge and attitudes and their changes in the negative to positive response groups, from 86.4% and 61.0% to 6.8% and 25.4%, respectively, after oral function evaluation, indicated that participants understood their oral function and the need for training. Middle-aged and older individuals with poor knowledge and attitudes were more likely to have a worse oral function; however, their knowledge and attitudes toward oral function could be improved through oral function assessment and education.
