Japan: Japanese doctor warns of 'locomotive syndrome' among children due to lack of exercise The Japanese Orthopaedic Association introduced "locomotive syndrome" condition in 2007. It is the Condition when people do not get enough exercise spend too much time on their smartphones or playing video games or bedridden. It can lead to injuries and other damage, and if left unresolved, there is a danger of patients easily breaking their bones or becoming bedridden in the future. Due to pandemic lack of places to play outside, prolonged school closures are also a concern. The Japanese Clinical Orthopaedic Association conducted a survey from late July to mid-August asking about 12,000 orthopedic patients and others about the effects of staying inside due to the pandemic and its observation." 2. Japan: Japan expects fewer newborns in 2021 as pandemic affects pregnancies Japan expects to see the number of newborns drop sharply next year after the number of pregnancies reported across the country fell 11.4 percent in the three months from May compared to a year earlier amid the coronavirus pandemic, the health ministry said. It is believed that many couples have postponed having children for economic reasons as the pandemic worsens the employment situation. Travel restrictions are also thought to have contributed in a country where many women return to their parents' homes to prepare for giving birth. Measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in hospitals, including a controversial requirement for mask- wearing during delivery and restrictions on visits by expectant mothers' spouses and other family members, are also thought to have discouraged plans for children. All 47 prefectures logged a decline, with Yamaguchi Prefecture in western Japan seeing the biggest fall at 29.7 percent, followed by Aomori Prefecture to the country's northeast at 23.7 percent and Ishikawa Prefecture in central Japan at 22.5 percent. 3. Japan: Japanese University Medical Systems firm develop 1st breath-based virus testing technology A method to detect the presence of the coronavirus in exhaled breath has been developed jointly by Tohoku University here in Sendai and Kyoto-based Shimadzu Corp., the two organizations announced on Oct. 16. The two groups say it's the world's first technology that uses a method of analyzing viruses and proteins that exist in aspirated air. Not only does it have the same precision as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, the results come out in about an hour, and the test can even diagnose the risks of a person's condition becoming dire. The developers of the technology plan to work on creating a smaller version of the device to make it possible for use at home, as well as to go forward with clinical trials to make the practical application of the method a reality. This testing method uses the latest technology called "breathomics." It entails collecting exhaled breath for approximately five minutes, and putting that through an analytical device. 4. 1st-ever iPS visual cell transplant performed without complications in Japan The world's first clinical trial of a transplant of visual cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, to treat a patient with pigmentary retinal degeneration was performed without any complications, a Japanese research team said. The team, including medical staff from Kobe City Eye Hospital in the western Japan prefecture of Hyogo, successfully completed the roughly two-hour operation on a woman in her 60s, also from western Japan, earlier this month. Around 30,000 people have the genetic disorder in Japan, which can cause vision problems due to a progressive loss of photoreceptor cells in the retina, and there is no known treatment. In the clinical trial, iPS cells grown from the blood cells of a healthy donor were cultured into three-dimensional retinal tissue, and then made into a sheet -- with a diameter of 1 millimeter and thickness of 0.2 millimeter -- containing photoreceptor cells. The sheet was transplanted in three slices into the retina of the patient's right eye. Developed by Kyoto University's Shinya Yamanaka, who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his work in the area, iPS cells can grow into any type of body tissue. The world's first clinical test using iPS cells was conducted in 2014 by the government-backed Riken research institute, with retinal pigment epithelial cells transplanted into an individual with an eye disease known as wet-type age-related macular degeneration. 5. Japan: Japan to make plastic recycling mandatory for large corporate users The Japanese government plans to make the recycling of plastic materials used at offices and factories mandatory from April 2022 at the earliest to increase the low recycling rate for plastic waste resulting from corporate activities. Of the 8.91 million tons of plastic waste Japan generated in 2018, 4.62 million came from the corporate sector, and most of it was incinerated. The government aims to submit a bill to oblige companies, excluding small firms, to recycle their plastic waste in the ordinary parliament session next year, they said. The government has already decided earlier this year to fully recycle about 4.29 million tons a year of plastic waste generated by households.
