Protruding Aortic Plaque and Coronary Plaque Vulnerability
Journal of the American Heart AssociationBackground Protruding aortic plaque is known to be associated with an increased risk for future cardiac and cerebrovascular events. However, the relationship between protruding aortic plaque and coronary plaque characteristics has not been systematically investigated. Methods and Results

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves β‐amyloid deposition in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal small vessels. Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated ...

Plaque Classification in Coronary Arteries from IVOCT Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Transfer Learning [PDF]
, 2018 Advanced atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries is one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide while being preventable and treatable. In order to image atherosclerotic lesions (plaque), intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) can be used.

A Lipid-Structured Model of Atherosclerotic Plaque Macrophages with Lipid-Dependent Kinetics [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Atherosclerotic plaques are fatty growths in artery walls that cause heart attacks and strokes. Plaque formation is orchestrated by macrophages that are recruited to the artery wall to consume and remove blood-derived lipids, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL).

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Critical appraisal on mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
AGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 272-280, December 2022., 2022 Amyloid plaques deposit on neurons in case of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondria play a vital role in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to formation of mPTP, alteration of complexes 1,3 and 4, deficits in bioenergetics with impaired mitochondrial biogenesis. Abstract It is widely recognized that Alzheimer's disease (
