Introduction: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common and rapidly developing critical inflammatory lung disease in clinic. This study investigated the predictive value of lncRNA UCA1, extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), and lung ultrasound score (LUS) in predicting the overall outcome of patients with ALI.
Methods: Patients with ALI were recruited for detecting the content of UCA1, EVLWI, and LUS. All patients were cataloged into the survival group and death group according to the prognosis. The discrepancy of UCA1, EVLWI, and LUS was compared in the two groups. The prognostic significance of UCA1, EVLWI, LUS, and their combination was estimated by logistic regression and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: The levels of UCA1, LUS, and EVLWI were elevated in the death group compared with the survival group. The content of UCA1 was positively correlated with LUS scores and EVLWI scores. UCA1, LUS, and EVLWI were independent indicators of predicting the prognosis of patients with ALI. The ROC curve reflected that UCA1, LUS, and EVLWI could forecast the endpoint events of patients with ALI whereas their combined approach had the highest accuracy.
Conclusion: Highly expressed UCA1 is a biomarker in forecasting the outcome of patients with ALI. It had high accuracy in predicting the endpoint of patients with ALI when combined with LUS and EVLWI.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus has emerged as a global public health issue due to its increasing prevalence and the increased risk of developing cancers. Pancreatic cancer is believed to be both a consequence of pre-existing diabetes and a potential cause of new-onset diabetes.
Aim: This study aims to compare the characteristics of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and newly diagnosed or long-standing diabetes mellitus.

Purpose: To report an exceptionally rare instance of Endoscopic endonasal dacryocystectomy.
Observations: Dacryocystectomy (DCT), a procedure of surgical extirpation of the lacrimal sac is normally approached by an external route. However, an endoscopic endonasal approach DCT is rare and usually reserved in cases where intellectual disabilities of a patient become a restrictive factor in maintenance of a healthy external wound.
Trichohepatoenteric Syndrome: A Report of Two Children From Bahrain With a Novel Mutation and a Literature Review.

Trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES) is a rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. THES primarily leads to neonatal enteropathy, typically manifesting as severe, persistent diarrhea, distinctive facial features such as frontal bossing and a broad flat nasal bridge, woolly and fragile hair, immunodeficiency resulting in recurrent infections, failure to thrive (FTT), and liver complications including fibrosis or cirrhosis. This multisystem disorder is linked to mutations in the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 37 (TTC37) gene, also known as superkiller complex (SKIC) protein 3, responsible for THES type 1, and the Ski2-like ribonucleic acid (RNA) helicase (SKIV2L) gene, also known as SKIC2, responsible for THES type 2.

Objectives: There is no guidance to support the reporting of systematic reviews of mobile health (mhealth) apps (app reviews), so authors attempt to use/modify the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). There is a need for reporting guidance, building on PRISMA where appropriate, tailored to app reviews. The objectives were to describe the reporting quality of published mHealth app reviews, identify the need for, and develop potential candidate items for a reporting guideline.
