The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Periodontitis and its association with left ventricular geometry and function: A cross‐sectional study

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the cross‐sectional association between periodontal status and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, an early and prognostically relevant marker of cardiovascular disease. Methods Data were drawn from two population‐based cohorts in the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP): SHIP‐START‐2 (N = 2333) and ...

Hemodynamic Significance of APEXCT Coronary Angiography Combined With Dynamic CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Assessing Restenosis After Coronary Stenting

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) by using a combined anatomical‐functional approach with photon‐counting CT coronary angiography (APEX‐CT CTA) and dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT‐MPI). We prospectively enrolled 239 symptomatic patients at least 9 months after PCI.

Structural Carotid Atherosclerosis and Mild Behavioral Impairment: A Cross‐Sectional Study in a Community‐Dwelling Population

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is a late‐life neuropsychiatric syndrome proposed as an early clinical manifestation of neurodegenerative disease. Vascular pathology contributes to late‐life cognitive and behavioral changes; however, its relationship with MBI remains insufficiently characterized.

Motion‐Robust Approach for 4D Cardiac Cine Using 2D Real‐Time Acquisitions and Slice‐to‐Volume Reconstruction

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose 4D cardiac cine is a powerful tool for comprehensive cardiac function assessment; however, current methods rely on regular breathing and are sensitive to bulk motion and arrhythmia. We aim to develop a 4D cardiac cine approach that requires no patient cooperation and is robust to irregular breathing, bulk motion, and cardiac arrhythmia.

Strain Rate Angle Distribution as an Indicator of Post‐Infarct Myocardial Remodeling: Proof‐of‐Concept of a Novel Application of the MRI Derived Strain Rate Tensor Field

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Left ventricular (LV) strain is an early indicator of myocardial dysfunction. However, conventional strain metrics do not fully account for the multidirectional nature of myocardial deformation. The strain rate tensor, derived from velocity‐encoded MRI, represents the time‐resolved magnitude and direction of strain rate without the ...
