Molecular composition of adiponectin in urine is a useful biomarker for detecting early stage of diabetic kidney disease
In conclusion, we demonstrated a new index to estimate monomer adiponectin in urine by using Sand-EIA and ICT-EIA, and urinary monomer adiponectin can be a good early indicator of deterioration of renal function in diabetic patients.

Association between early-term birth and hypoglycaemia in large-for-gestational-age neonates:A retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Among LGA neonates, early-term birth is positively associated with neonatal hypoglycaemia. This indicates that among LGA neonates, those born at early term require more careful observation for hypoglycaemia than do those born at later term. J. Med.

Does student evaluation of on-demand video lectures vary with student characteristics? A questionnaire survey of medical students at Tokushima University
This study aims to examine the association between the detailed characteristics/various contexts of students and the evaluation of online classes. An online questionnaire survey administered to third- and fourth-grade medical students of Tokushima University in September 2021-with 101 (42.8%) valid responses-showed the respondents' general impressions, comprehension, convenience, and desire for online classes even after the pandemic ends were significantly higher for the on-demand lectures than for simultaneous online classes. Notably, students who did not do other things while watching video lectures (10.9%) rated on-dema...
