Background: Twenty-three percent of patients are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus after the first episode of acute pancreatitis. The incidence of post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus is significantly higher than that of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Some studies have concluded that the all-cause mortality and worse prognosis of diabetes after pancreatitis are higher.

- The study investigates the role of serum glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in assessing the severity and outcomes of acute pancreatitis (AP), focusing on two groups: normal HbA1c levels (<6.5%) and high levels.
- It was found that higher HbA1c levels correlate with increased disease severity, complications, and the risk of organ failure in AP patients, with the optimal cutoff for predicting organ failure at 7.05%.
- The results suggest that better glycemic control may lead to improved outcomes in AP, emphasizing the importance of monitoring HbA1c levels prior to the onset of the condition.
Background: Emotion and quality of life may have been impacted by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis, especially in the lockdown. The impact of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) symptoms and tooth loss on mental status and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) are not fully understood in a stressful situation.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate whether TMD and tooth loss were the impaired risks of psychological states and OHRQoL in COVID-19 lockdown, and attempt to explore other potential risk factors.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has become the malignant tumor of the digestive tract with the highest incidence in our country, posing a serious threat to the health of our people. Early colon cancer is mostly due to the malignant transformation of colon polyps, so that early detection and resection have been shown to be effective in reducing the incidence and mortality of CRC. This study tried to investigate the related risk factors of and construct a predictive nomogram for colorectal polyps, providing meaningful guidance basis for risk stratification and screening.
