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 ...

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

Unilateral pathology associated with bilateral etiologies

Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, 2011
Hormonal fluctutaions affect not only a woman′s reproductive system but surprisingly they have a strong influence on the oral cavity also. These changes are not necessarily the result of direct hormonal action on the tissue, but are perhaps best ...

From vulnerable plaque to vulnerable patient: a call for new definitions and risk assessment strategies: Part I.

Circulation, 2003
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease results in >19 million deaths annually, and coronary heart disease accounts for the majority of this toll. Despite major advances in treatment of coronary heart disease patients, a large number of victims of the ...

Assessing the association between oral hygiene and preterm birth by quantitative light-induced fluorescence [PDF]

, 2014
The aim of this study was to investigate the purported link between oral hygiene and preterm birth by using image analysis tools to quantify dental plaque biofilm.

Plaque Composition as a Predictor of Plaque Ulceration in Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis: The Plaque At RISK Study [PDF]

American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2020
Plaque ulceration is a marker of previous plaque rupture. We studied the association between atherosclerotic plaque composition at baseline and plaque ulceration at baseline and follow-up.We included symptomatic patients with a carotid stenosis of

The influence of xylitol containing toothpaste on plaque formation inhibition on fixed bridge

Dental Journal, 2009
Background: Plaque is the main cause of teeth and periodontal tissue damage, which usually accumulates on crown surfaces. To avoid this, plaque control is the best way that not only has a close connection to oral hygiene but also become important element

PLAQUE FORMATION AND ISOLATION OF PURE LINES WITH POLIOMYELITIS VIRUSES

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1954
Plaques have been produced with the three types of poliomyelitis viruses on monolayer tissue cultures of monkey kidney and monkey testis. The number of plaques was proportional to the concentration of the virus.

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 ...

Loss of TREM2 function increases amyloid seeding but reduces plaque associated ApoE

Nature Neuroscience, 2018
Coding variants in the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) are associated with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We demonstrate that amyloid plaque seeding is increased in the absence of functional Trem2.
