Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases
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

ABSTRACT Helix‐fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80‐year‐old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26‐mm MC ring), and Maze III surgery presented with syncope due to atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Standard maneuvers failed to advance the

ABSTRACT Introduction Erectile dysfunction (ED) significantly impacts quality of life. For patients unresponsive to conservative treatments, penile prosthesis implantation represents an effective solution with high satisfaction rates. However, the complexity and sensitive nature of the procedure often generate multiple patient concerns.
