Uterine Necrosis Associated with Fusobacterium necrophorum Infection

Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2015
Fusobacterium necrophorum is infrequently implicated as a pathogenic organism. When pathogenic, the typical clinical presentation is that of pharyngitis, cervical adenopathy, and unilateral thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. Infections caused

Zinc‐stabilized stannous fluoride modulates the periodontal microbiome, reducing Fusobacteria, key Gram‐negative species, and overall inflammation within an experimental gingivitis clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a dentifrice containing stannous fluoride stabilized with zinc phosphate on subgingival microbiome composition and clinical inflammation during experimental gingivitis, compared with a sodium fluoride control. Methods This investigation was conducted as a secondary analysis of a randomized,

Increased Pediatric Head and Neck Abscesses Following the COVID‐19 Pandemic

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on pediatric head and neck abscesses at two tertiary care centers. Overall head and neck abscess incidence increased more than threefold in the post‐pandemic period compared with the pre‐pandemic period, with increases observed across all major abscess subtypes.

Does Fusobacterium in Colorectal Cancer Sites Originate From the Oral Cavity? A Pilot Study

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research
Objectives Fusobacterium can contribute to oral diseases, but also pose as a systemic risk factor. This genus, and especially F. nucleatum, can be found in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue and is involved in multiple aspects of this type of cancer ...

Immunomodulatory Properties of Withania somnifera: Regulation of Innate Immune Cells and Clinical Implications

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (WS), commonly known as Ashwagandha, is a prominent medicinal herb in Ayurveda, with extensive therapeutic potential attributed to its diverse phytochemical profile. This review critically examines the immunomodulatory properties of WS, focusing on innate immune cell populations, including neutrophils, eosinophils,

Role of defensins in immunothrombosis

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Defensins are important proteins that link the immune system and blood clotting, playing a key role in immunothrombosis. α‐defensins mainly come from neutrophils, while β‐defensins are produced by epithelial cells and platelets. These proteins help form blood clots in several ways: they slow down clot breakdown (fibrinolysis), activate platelets, and ...
