Transitional care is indispensable in successfully transitioning patients from hospital to home and preventing adverse events during this process. There were restricted services in several hospitals for minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, hospitals could not provide adequate transitional care that possibly resulted in poor post-discharge outcomes in patients. Some hospitals have now combined infection prevention with face-to-face opportunities, i.e., requiring reservations for transitional care consultation and restricting pre-discharge conferences. Several hospitals started providing pre-discharge conferences using apps, where patients/family caregivers and care teams could have face-to-face discussions about medical and nursing care plans, goals, and preferences. However, building a relationship between patient/family and medical/nursing staff and providing decision-making, psychological support, and risk assessment generally performed in person are still in demand. New hybrid strategies should be developed and evaluated to provide transitional care while using online systems and minimal face-to-face support during the pandemic.

In 2017, chrysanthemum downy mildew, which has not been reported in Japan since 1980, severely affected chrysanthemum production in Nara Prefecture, Japan. We investigated the occurrence of the disease at the fields in Nara Prefecture and the control efficacy of thermotherapy and fungicides against it. In the field survey, over 95 % of plants were diseased in seven cultivars, while no plants with the symptoms were observed in the other six cultivars. This suggests that some chrysanthemum cultivars had resistance to downy mildew. Chrysanthemum cuttings were treated with thermotherapy (treatment with hot water and hot air). The disease prevalence in both treatments was significantly lower than that in the non-treated. Severely diseased plants were sprayed with three fungicides (azoxystrobin, manzeb, and tolfenpyrad). While azoxystrobin and manzeb reduced the disease severity compared with non-treated, its efficacy was not so high. We concluded that the use of resistant cultivars and the application of thermotherapy can effectively control chrysanthemum downy mildew.
