Subjective Household Economic Status and Obesity in Toddlers: A Cross-Sectional Study of Daycare Centers in Japan.

Background: Although lower household economic status is known to be a risk factor for obesity among school-age children, such an association among toddlers remains unclear. The present study investigated the association between household economic status and obesity in toddlers.

Design: We conducted a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 years attending daycare centers in Japan.

Antibiotic effects of WP-0405, a thermo-setting ofloxacin gel, on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus keratitis in rabbits.

Purpose: The chemotherapeutic effects and pharmacokinetics properties of WP-0405 (a thermo-setting in situ 0.3% ofloxacin-containing ophthalmic gel) and ofloxacin (a conventional 0.3% ofloxacin solution) on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) keratitis were compared in a rabbit model.
