The Role of Viral and Bacterial Infections in the Etiology of Behçet's Disease
Bacterial and viral pathogens may play a key role in Behçet's disease (BD) pathogenesis by triggering autoimmunity, molecular mimicry, or microbiome disruption. These infectious agents could initiate inflammatory pathways, contributing to BD's diverse clinical manifestations.

Genetic Evidence Implicating Gut Microbiota and Circulating Cytokines in Sjögren's Syndrome
Complex bidirectional causal relationships were found between gut microbiota abundance and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Five circulating cytokines were shown to potentially affect SS, including MIG, IL‐5, IL‐1RA, IL‐2RA, and SCGF‐β, and SS was found to increase levels of two circulating cytokines, IL‐1β and IL‐5.

ABSTRACT Background Virtual MR elastography (VMRE) and MRE have been proposed for liver fibrosis staging in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), but VMRE's diagnostic performance remains debated. Purpose To assess the inter‐visit and inter‐reader reproducibility of fat‐uncorrected and fat‐corrected diffusion‐weighted ...

Abstract Background The relationship between periodontitis and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been poorly documented in Caucasian populations, particularly severe ED (SED) requiring penile prostheses. This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis and SED in patients undergoing penile prosthesis implantation, and to identify clinical
