A deviated nasal septum leads to congestion and headaches. Surgery is the primary treatment, requiring careful postoperative septum positioning to prevent bleeding and hematoma. The study compared this method with nasal packing and traditional nasal septum suturing regarding surgical time, patient pain, nasal obstruction, and bleeding after septoplasty.

Purpose: To investigate the role of S100A8/A9 in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's dry eye disease (SjDED) and explore its potential mechanism of action.
Methods: S100A8/A9 expression was determined by western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Tear secretion, corneal fluorescein staining, and hematoxylin and eosin staining were used to evaluate the effect of paquinimod, a S100A8/A9 inhibitor, on dry eye disease in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a slowly progressive, chronic autoimmune inflammatory condition characterized by the affliction of the exocrine glands, with issues that derive from it markedly decreasing the quality of life of these patients. Salivary gland involvement can be identified through imaging methods. Among them, salivary gland ultrasonography (SGUS) is used as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in pSS.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition and is characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Early diagnosis is essential for effective therapy and management; nevertheless, present diagnostic methods are frequently insufficient and primarily rely on clinical symptoms that appear later in the disease. Neuropeptides, such as alpha-synuclein (α-syn), Substance P (SP), neurotensin (Nts), Neuropeptide Y (NPY), and somatostatin (SST), exhibit significant potential as biomarkers for the early identification of Parkinson's disease (PD).
