Introduction: Recently, researchers have introduced the concept of 'early term' infants, defined as infants born at 37 or 38 weeks of gestation, and their outcome has been discussed. Although the complications experienced by early term are less severe than those in preterm infants, this group accounts for a much larger proportion of newborns, making the assessment of outcomes important in clinical practice.
Methods: This observational study of term infants born at Tokyo Metropolitan Toshima Hospital aimed to understand the short-term outcomes in early term infants.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) omicron variants are now a pandemic. There are differences in clinical features in SARS-CoV-2 variants and we conducted this study to assess the clinical features of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in children with SARS-CoV-2 omicron variants. The study included children with COVID-19 arrivedto Tokyo Metropolitan Toshima Hospital between January 2020 and October 2022.

A glassy carbon (GC) electrode was covalently modified by electrochemical oxidation/reduction procedures. The redox waves between hydrogen ions and hydrogen molecules at highly positive potential range in the hydrodynamic voltammogram were obtained by using a Pt-NGC electrode.
