Metabolism as a driver of antibiotic resistance

Cemile Selin Aksoy

Antibiotic resistance remains one of the most pressing challenges in modern microbiology. Decades of research have focused on identifying resistance genes and molecular mechanisms in opportunistic pathogens. Yet bacterial survival under antibiotic stress is often shaped by broader physiological processes that are not always considered within the conventional frameworks associated with antibiotic resistance. In this perspective, I argue that bacterial metabolism plays a broader and more integrative role in shaping a …

Bedside Intraoral Scanning to Reduce Procedural Burden in Older Adults With Dementia: Nonrandomized Counterbalanced Crossover Feasibility Study

Anna-Lena Hillebrecht, Kirstin Vach, Christoph Maurer, Ralf J Kohal, Benedikt C Spies

Abstract Background Older adults living with dementia often have limited tolerance for intraoral procedures, which can restrict access to even basic oral health assessment in clinical care. Procedural burden—characterized by sustained intraoral manipulation, sensory overload, and limited opportunities for interruption—may represent a key barrier to equitable oral care. Intraoral scanning (IOS) enables stepwise, interruptible acquisition of oral data and may reduce this burden, but feasibility and tolerability in pe …

Orexin Signaling, Glymphatic Clearance, and Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease: A Scoping Review and Hypothesis-Generating Conceptual Framework

Ghassan Sonji, Nada Sonji, Afaf El Katerji

Introduction: Sleep fragmentation is associated with preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may precede cognitive symptoms by years. Sleep disruption is a factor amenable to objective assessment. Evidence suggests that fragmented sleep impairs the brain's glymphatic clearance system, promoting amyloid-beta and tau accumulation. This raises the possibility that dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) may influence sleep-related processes in preclinical AD, though direct human evidence is lacking. Methods: This st …
