Epidemiology and health burden of infective endocarditis: a comparative analysis of Australian vs global trends from 1990 to 2021

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon but life‐threatening disease with evolving patient risk profiles and management strategies. However, its impact on the Australian healthcare system has not been described. Aims To quantify the healthcare burden of IE in Australia over time in the past three decades and compare outcomes with

Refining Residual Ischemic Stroke Risk in Anticoagulated Atrial Fibrillation Using Index Outpatient LA Diameter: The CHA2DS2‐VALa Score

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, residual ischemic stroke risk persists despite guideline‐directed therapy. In this single‐center cohort, an enlarged index outpatient left atrial diameter independently predicted stroke and improved risk stratification when added to CHA2DS2‐VA (CHA2DS2‐VALa), supporting a simple, clinically implementable ...

Frequent Premature Ventricular Complexes and Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Among 421 patients undergoing ablation of atrial fibrillation, frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) > 1% were present in a significant proportion of patients at baseline. The PVC burden did not increase significantly in the post‐AF ablation period and was not associated with a higher rate of recurrent AF.

Frailty and Five‐Year Mortality After TAVR in Patients Aged 75 Years and Older

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
In patients aged 75 years and older undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, frailty assessed by the Clinical Frailty Scale was the most robust geriatric factor independently associated with five‐year mortality. This study highlights the specific prognostic value of frailty beyond short‐term outcomes.

Influence of nanohydroxyapatite mouthwash on the growth of Candida albicans biofilm on milled denture surfaces: An in vitro study

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose There is a need for effective solutions for the persistent prevalence of denture stomatitis (DS) in denture‐wearing populations. This study assessed the impact of nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) nanoparticles on Candida albicans biofilm formation on milled polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture bases.

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and
