Abstract Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia is a rare immune‐mediated disorder leading to accelerated red cell destruction and anaemia. There is considerable clinical heterogeneity, with some patients barely requiring intervention, while others experience fulminant haemolysis and experience mortality rates as high as 30% with severe anaemia and end‐organ ...

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
