Enterococcal Endocarditis: Prospective Data from the Iranian Registry of Infective Endocarditis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Enterococci are responsible for 5% to 18% of infective endocarditis (IE) cases. We aimed to determine demographic data, predisposing factors, clinical presentations, complications and echocardiographic findings concerning enterococcal ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
