Misperceptions of medical education in Japan: how reform is changing the landscape.

Alan R AR Teo

Keio J Med 56(2):61-3 (2007) PMID 17609590

A number of Western physicians have highlighted shortcomings in Japanese medical education over the years. In recent years, however, there has been dramatic change in the system of medical education in Japan that renders some of these observations inaccurate and others worthy of several caveats. Using a recent review article in the Keio Journal of Medicine as a starting point for discussion, the author responds to a number of historical concerns about medical education in Japan and includes updated information on recent reforms.

    We obtain Limit formulae for multiple ergodic averages associated with the action of $\F_{p}^{\omega}$. From this we deduce multiple Khintchine-type recurrence Results analogous to those for $\Z$-systems obtained by Bergelson, Host, and Kra, and also present some new counterexamples in this setting....

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (2013) PMID 23690622

    We unravel that HypT is activated by methionine oxidation to methionine sulfoxide. Interestingly, so far only inactivation of cellular proteins by methionine oxidation has been reported. Mutational analysis revealed three methionines that are essential to confer HOCl resistance. Their simultaneous s...
