Intersecting Pathologies: Vulvar Cancer Complicated by a Fusobacterium necrophorum Infection

Cureus
Vulvar cancer represents a small minority of annual cancer cases in America. This malignancy affects more than the physical health of the patient. This malignancy also has a negative impact on women's psychological and sexual health. This case pertains to a 49-year-old woman (G1P1001) who presented with right groin pain, fever, and chills for three ...

Periodontitis and Diabetes: Mechanistic Evidence of a Circular Relationship

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms that connect periodontitis to diabetes (and vice versa) and that influence disease susceptibility, progression and response to treatment. ABSTRACT The circular relationship between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus is one of the most established oral‐systemic links.
