MicroRNAs in the Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2013 BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNA, miR) are noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by hindering translation. miRNA expression profiles have been shown to differ in vivo and in vitro in many cellular processes associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Blood microbiome of patients with atherosclerosis
Атеросклероз, 2022 Aim of the study was to assess the composition of blood microbiome in patients with atherosclerosis, to compare it with microflora and microbiome of atherosclerotic plaques, to identify common taxons for microbiomes of blood and atherosclerotic plaques ...

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque segmentation [PDF]
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005 Atherosclerosis is the major cause of heart attack and stroke in the western world. In this paper we present a computerized method for segmenting the athrerosclerotic carotid plaque from ultrasound images. The method uses the blood flow image first to detect the initial contour of the plaque, and then despeckle filtering and snakes to deform the ...
