Relationship between occlusal force and endothelial function in community‐dwelling elderly women: A pilot study

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2022
Objective In this study, age, endothelial function as flow‐mediated dilation (FMD), occlusal force, grip strength, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were obtained. AGEs were measured as indicators of aging, while grip strength was measured as an

Factors influencing recanalization of thrombotic venous occlusions [PDF]

Vasa, 2020
Summary. The outcome of a thrombotic vessel occlusion is related to the resolution of thrombus and restitution of blood flow. Thrombus formation simultaneously activates an enzymatic process that mediates endogenous fibrinolysis to maintain vessel patency. The balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis determines the extent of thrombus formation, its
