A random home visit search investigated the prevalence and predictors of Dry Eye (DE) symptoms in Brazil. ⋯ This first domiciliary study in Brazil reveals that DE symptoms were more prevalent in the urban area and among women. DE has distinct risk factors and a high prevalence in Brazil.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation under the supervision of health professionals at the institute versus conventional exercise-based pulmonary rehabilitation at home in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. ⋯ Chinese patients with COPD have worse clinical conditions. After 6 months of inhaled pharmacological treatment for COPD with pulmonary rehabilitations at institutes improves the conditions of COPD patients.

Post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) occurs in some COVID-19 patients long after acute infection and significantly affects patients' health. However, the mechanism by which PACS develops is unknown. Myosin light chain 9 (Myl9), produced by activated platelets, plays a role in immune dysregulation and microthrombi formation during acute COVID-19. However, in the PACS phase, the association between Myl9 and residual symptoms remains unclear, and further investigation is needed. ⋯ Prolonged high Myl9 levels are associated with respiratory symptoms, suggesting the potential involvement of prolonged inflammation or endothelial damage in PACS.

TRIB3 has been confirmed to participate in and regulate biological metabolic activities in head and neck tumors such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and oropharyngeal carcinoma, so the purpose of this study was to explore whether there is a correlation between TRIB3 and Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) and to preliminarily explore the biological characteristics of TRIB3 in LSCC. ⋯ This study investigates the role of TRIB3 in the biological characteristics of LSCC, and preliminarily concludes that TRIB3 may be a potentially promising prognostic biomarker for LSCC. TRIB3 may facilitate the growing, invasive and migrating LSCC, leading to a poor prognosis.
