Streamlining antibiotic use in community acquired pneumonia: A quality improvement initiative
Abstract Background Evidence suggests a 3‐day total duration and early transition to oral therapy is safe in hospitalized patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP)—though such care is not standard in the United States. To implement these evidence‐based practices, a multidisciplinary group led by a hospitalist and antimicrobial stewardship ...

Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.

Aging and periodontitis increase brain dissemination of oral bacteria
Abstract Background The microbiome is a dynamic system that changes throughout life. Studies have revealed the relationship between periodontal disease and the oral microbiota; however, the impact of periodontal disease on the expression of senescence markers and on the inflammaging of the oral and systemic microbiome remains unclear.

Abstract Background We hypothesized that acne vulgaris (AV) and gingivitis were associated through systemic inflammatory mechanisms, sharing common etiological factors. This study aimed to identify the association between AV and gingivitis and to assess changes in acne severity in relation to changes in the plaque index (PI).

Abstract Background Periodontal disease affects people globally, requiring approaches to halt progression at the gingivitis stage. Researchers have investigated live probiotics; we studied the effect of a heat‐inactivated preparation (postbiotic) of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus ONRICb0240 on gingival inflammation.
