Differential predictability for high-risk plaque characteristics between fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio

Scientific Reports, 2023
To evaluate the differential associations of high-risk plaque characteristics (HRPC) with resting or hyperemic physiologic indexes (instantaneous wave-free ratio [iFR] or fractional flow reserve [FFR]), a total of 214 vessels from 127 patients with ...

Intracranial physiological calcifications: A computed tomography study

Imaging, 2023
AbstractBackground and aimIntracranial calcifications (ICs) occur when metals such as calcium or iron accumulate in blood vessels, glands or other structures related to the brain. They can be physiological or pathological. Currently, the most sensitive method for imaging IC is cranial computed tomography (CT). The aim of this retrospective study was to

Elongated styloid process: Is it a pathologic condition?

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2011
Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the length, morphology, and calcification patterns of the elongated stylohyoid process (ESP) on panoramic radiographs and to investigate the symptoms related to it.

Evaluation of Physiological Intracranial Calcifications in Children Using Computed Tomography [PDF]

Serbian Journal of Experimental and Clinical Research, 2022
Abstract Physiological intracranial calcifications have an increasing prevalence with the age and can be found in both children and in adults. These calcifications are basically asymptomatic and their presence can only be noticed through neuro-imaging.

Socioeconomic Status and Subclinical Coronary Disease in the Whitehall II Epidemiological Study [PDF]

, 2010
Background: There are pronounced socioeconomic disparities in coronary heart disease, but the extent to which these primarily reflect gradients in underlying coronary artery disease severity or in the clinical manifestation of advanced disease is ...

Seawater carbonate chemistry and tropical coral calcification

, 2023
Ocean acidification typically reduces calcification in tropical marine corals but the mechanism for this process is not understood. We use skeletal boron geochemistry (B/Ca and δ11B) to reconstruct the calcification fluid DIC of corals cultured over both

Vascular Calcification and Stone Disease: A New Look towards the Mechanism

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2015
Calcium phosphate (CaP) crystals are formed in pathological calcification as well as during stone formation. Although there are several theories as to how these crystals can develop through the combined interactions of biochemical and biophysical factors,

Determination of Pericardial Adipose Tissue Increases the Prognostic Accuracy of Coronary Artery Calcification for Future Cardiovascular Events [PDF]

, 2012
Objectives: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and the incidence of coronary heart disease. We evaluated the possible incremental prognostic value of PAT for future cardiovascular events.
