ABSTRACT Background Fatigue is a significant yet under‐addressed symptom in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart diseases, impairing quality of life. This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions, including exercise and psychosocial support, in managing fatigue in COPD, ischemic heart ...

Impact of systemic diseases on periodontal remodeling: Mechanisms, mediators, and clinical relevance
Abstract Background Periodontal remodeling is a continuous, adaptive process essential for maintaining the structural and functional integrity of periodontal tissues. While external factors such as bacterial biofilm, excessive forces, and poor oral hygiene are recognized triggers of periodontal pathologies, they do not fully explain their persistent ...

Decoding host–microbial dynamics in peri‐implantitis: Ecosystem‐specific experimental models
Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis is an inflammatory disease arising within a unique host–microbial–biomaterial ecosystem. Unlike periodontitis, peri‐implant tissues lack a periodontal ligament and epithelial junction integrity and interface with metal oxides on titanium surfaces.

Doxorubicin‐induced Cardiotoxicity in Dogs: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Doxorubicin, an anthracycline widely used in both human and veterinary oncology, is highly effective against a variety of malignancies in dogs, including lymphomas, sarcomas and carcinomas. Despite its efficacy, doxorubicin exposure can be associated with cardiotoxicity, which may present acutely or chronically, potentially leading to severe ...

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.
