Background: Serum globulin is an inflammation marker. To date, no evidence regarding the association between serum globulin and disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis has been reported.
Aims: We evaluated the association between serum globulin and endoscopic activity in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Background: Mucosal healing (MH) has been indicated as the therapeutic goal for ulcerative colitis (UC). Platelet count is known as an inflammation evaluation. However, the association between platelet count and MH among patients with UC is still scarce.

- The study evaluated the relationship between dietary habits, specifically vegetable intake, and nocturia among 785 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
- The results showed significant associations, revealing that those with a regular vegetable intake were less likely to experience nocturia and severe nocturia, with adjusted odds ratios indicating a strong inverse relationship.
- Notably, this inverse association was consistent in female patients and among male patients concerning severe nocturia only.
Aim: Nocturia is common among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but limited evidence regarding the association between body mass index (BMI) and nocturia exists among such patients. The aim of the present study, therefore, was to evaluate the association between BMI and nocturia among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: Study participants were 809 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
