A Novel Artificial Coronary Plaque to Model Coronary Heart Disease

Biomimetics
Background: Experimental coronary artery interventions are currently being performed on non-diseased blood vessels in healthy animals. To provide a more realistic pathoanatomical scenario for investigations on novel interventional and surgical therapies,

Noninvasive imaging of focal atherosclerotic lesions using fluorescence molecular tomography [PDF]

, 2014
Insights into the etiology of stroke and myocardial infarction suggest that rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaque is the precipitating event. Clinicians lack tools to detect lesion instability early enough to intervene, and are often left to manage ...

A Recurrent CNN for Automatic Detection and Classification of Coronary Artery Plaque and Stenosis in Coronary CT Angiography [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2018
Various types of atherosclerotic plaque and varying grades of stenosis could lead to different management of patients with a coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to detect

Higher Amyloid and Tau Burden Is Associated With Faster Decline on a Digital Cognitive Test

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective A 2‐min digital clock‐drawing test (DCTclock) captures more granular features of the clock‐drawing process than the pencil‐and‐paper clock‐drawing test, revealing more subtle deficits at the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A previous cross‐sectional study demonstrated that worse DCTclock performance was associated with

Combining Biomarkers and Imaging for Short‐Term Assessment of Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Apparently Healthy Adults

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Current strategies for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment focus on 10‐year or longer timeframes. Shorter‐term CVD risk is also clinically relevant, particularly for high‐risk occupations, but is under‐investigated.

Screening method improves performance of nickel-cadmium batteries [PDF]

, 1971
Weight of single plate in batch is used as criterion for selecting those plates with uniform, high ampere hour capacity. When substrate and plaque weights are uniform, observed current capacity differences are dependent on quantity of active material in ...

Neuropsychiatric Symptoms Mimicking Dementia in a Patient Treated With Imatinib

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are the cornerstone of chronic myeloid leukemia treatment. Newer agents have more potency and a broader spectrum of action, but also a higher potential for neuropsychiatric side effects. We present a case of a patient on imatinib who developed progressive cognitive, mood, and behavioral alterations.

Comparative Evaluation of Q-scan and Disclosing Solution in Plaque Detection: A Comparative Study

Journal of Indian Association of Public Health Dentistry
Introduction: Proper plaque removal is necessary for oral hygiene. Since plaque is invisible, patients need to be educated about it by making it visible using disclosing solution.
