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

Serious Bacterial Infections in Hospitalized Neonates in Eastern Ethiopia: Investigating the Emerging Pathogen Pantoea dispersa Compared With Klebsiella pneumoniae

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) are major contributors to neonatal morbidity and mortality in low‐income countries. We describe the aetiology and risk factors for neonatal bacteraemia and in‐hospital mortality in eastern Ethiopia, focusing on Pantoea dispersa, a rarely studied pathogen, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Airway Mucus Restricts Neisseria meningitidis Away from Nasopharyngeal Epithelial Cells and Protects the Mucosa from Inflammation

mSphere, 2019
Neisseria meningitidis is an inhabitant of the nasopharynx, from which it is transmitted from person to person or disseminates in blood and becomes a harmful pathogen. In this work, we addressed colonization of the nasopharyngeal niche by focusing on the

Safety and Effectiveness of Sutimlimab in Cold Agglutinin Disease: A Real‐World International Experience

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 7, Page 1597-1604, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sutimlimab is a monoclonal antibody against complement fraction C1s approved for the treatment of hemolytic anemia due to cold agglutinin disease (CAD). Here, we analyzed and report the largest international CAD cohort of sutimlimab‐treated patients ever reported to highlight its safety and effectiveness in the real‐world setting. We accrued a

Complement Inhibition in the Clinic: Are We Doing Enough to Protect Patients From Infection?

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.
Excessive complement activation is implicated in a broad range of diseases. Therapeutic approaches targeting the complement cascade, from pathway‐selective inhibition to terminal blockade, can effectively control disease activity. However, increasing degrees of complement inhibition are associated with a heightened susceptibility to bacterial, viral ...
