Is There a Vulnerable Plaque? [PDF]
The identification of potential triggers of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represented by unstable angina (UA), myocardial infarction (MI) (preceded or not by UA), and sudden coronary death (SCD) is a rapidly growing area of research. Coronary plaque disruption and subsequent thrombosis is the major recognized pathogenetic component of “unstable ...

Mean Platelet Volume and Salivary C-Reactive Protein Levels among Smokers with Chronic Periodontitis: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Introduction: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with smoking as a major risk factor. Previous studies have shown that elevated number of platelets, platelet activation and Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) are the important indicator of platelet ...

Coronary artery cavitation as a trigger for atherosclerotic plaque progression: a simplified numerical and computational fluid dynamic demonstration [PDF]
Backgrounds: Coronary cavitation is supposed to be generated by both concentric and eccentric coronary artery stenosis which propagates downstream the vessel, creating microbubbles which exploded when the fluid pressure was lower than the vapor ...

Macrophage anti-inflammatory behaviour in a multiphase model of atherosclerotic plaque development [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterised by the formation of plaques, which are deposits of lipids and cholesterol-laden macrophages that form in the artery wall. The inflammation is often non-resolving, due in large part to changes in normal macrophage anti-inflammatory behaviour that are induced by the toxic plaque microenvironment ...

Platelet-Derived Exosomes and Atherothrombosis
Platelet-derived exosomes (PLT-Exos) are the main subtype of extracellular vesicles secreted by platelets, which carry proteins, nucleotides, lipids, and other substances to acceptor cells, playing an important role in intercellular communication.
