Quasi-static responses of marine mussel plaques attached to deformable wet substrates under directional tensions [PDF]

, 2023
Quantifying the response of marine mussel plaque attachment on wet surfaces remains a significant challenge to a mechanistic understanding of plaque adhesion. Here, we developed a customised microscopy system combined with two-dimensional (2D) in-situ digital image correlation (DIC) to quantify the in-plane deformation of a deformable substrate that ...

Sealing old plaques, seeding new plaques [PDF]

European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012
In stent restenosis (ISR) is a heterogeneous phenomenon. The classical paradigm is neointimal proliferation in response to vessel wall injury often in combination with incomplete stent expansion. Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been designed to reduce or eliminate hyperplasia and in fact dramatically reduced restenosis and target lesion ...

Dramatic Elements of “Qanbar’s Elegy” Ritual in Fasa, Iran

Environment Conservation Journal, 2015
Theory of the origin of ritual theater is still the most credible theory on the development of drama in the world. Rituals in terms of function, construction and even implementation are very close to drama, so that at times they cannot be clearly ...

Calcifications in atherosclerotic plaques and impact on plaque biomechanics

Journal of Biomechanics, 2019
The catastrophic mechanical rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque is the underlying cause of the majority of cardiovascular events. The infestation of vascular calcification in the plaques creates a mechanically complex tissue composite. Local stress concentrations and plaque tissue strength properties are the governing parameters required to predict ...

Extracalvarial Porocarcinoma -A Rare Case Report [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021
Eccrine Porocarcinoma (EPC) is a very rare malignant neoplasm of skin. It usually emerges from the ductal parts of sweat glands. It is seen mostly between the age group of 60 to 80 years with a female preponderance.

Development of Human‐Like Advanced Coronary Plaques in Low‐Density Lipoprotein Receptor Knockout Pigs and Justification for Statin Treatment Before Formation of Atherosclerotic Plaques

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundAlthough clinical trials have proved that statin can be used prophylactically against cardiovascular events, the direct effects of statin on plaque development are not well understood.

Roles of Macrophages in Atherogenesis

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that may ultimately lead to local proteolysis, plaque rupture, and thrombotic vascular disease, resulting in myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden cardiac death. Circulating monocytes are recruited to

The relation between atherosclerosis plaque composition and plaque rupture

Journal of Medical Signals & Sensors, 2020
Intima, media, and adventitia are three layers of arteries. They have different structures and different mechanical properties. Damage to intima layer of arteries leads to an inflammatory response, which is usually the reason for atherosclerosis plaque formation. Atherosclerosis plaques mainly consist of smooth muscle cells and calcium. However, plaque
