Sonodynamic Therapy Suppresses Neovascularization in Atherosclerotic Plaques via Macrophage Apoptosis-Induced Endothelial Cell Apoptosis

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2020
Summary: During atherosclerosis plaque progression, pathological intraplaque angiogenesis leads to plaque rupture accompanied by thrombosis, which is probably the most important cause of arteries complications such as cerebral and myocardial infarction ...

From Allergy to Angina: A Unique Presentation of Kounis Syndrome

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kounis syndrome (KS) is a rare condition characterized by acute coronary syndrome (ACS) triggered by an allergic reaction. This report presents a case of high‐risk ACS associated with a food allergy. A 53‐year‐old male with no prior medical history presented to the emergency department with itching, facial swelling, chest tightness, shortness ...

Bacteria Present in Carotid Arterial Plaques Are Found as Biofilm Deposits Which May Contribute to Enhanced Risk of Plaque Rupture

mBio, 2014
Atherosclerosis, a disease condition resulting from the buildup of fatty plaque deposits within arterial walls, is the major underlying cause of ischemia (restriction of the blood), leading to obstruction of peripheral arteries, congestive heart failure,

Role of Cholesterol Crystals During Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cerebrovascular Accident

Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2017
Cholesterol crystals have long been recognized as part of atherosclerotic plaques. They have been visualized by light microscopy as empty spaces or imprints where crystals were once present and then dissolved by tissue processing.

Modelling the inflammatory process in atherosclerosis: a nonlinear renewal equation [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
We present here a population structured model to describe the dynamics of macrophage cells. The model involves the interactions between modified LDL, monocytes/macrophages, cytokines and foam cells. The key assumption is that the individual macrophage dynamics depends on the amount of lipoproteins it has internalized.

Early detection of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque for risk reduction of acute aortic rupture and thromboemboli and atheroemboli using non-obstructive angioscopy.

Circulation Journal, 2015
The mortality rate due to rupture of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm is approximately 90%. Acute aortic rupture can be fatal prior to hospitalization and has proven difficult to diagnose correctly or predict.

A Comparative Study of Cohesive Zone Models for Predicting Delamination Behaviors of Arterial Wall [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Arterial tissue delamination, manifested as the failure between arterial layers, is a critical process in the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, leading to potential life-threatening clinical consequences. Numerous models have been used to characterize the arterial tissue delamination. Few has investigated the effect of Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) shapes

Exploring biomarkers of neurodegeneration in epilepsy: Critical insights

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The advent of biofluid biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders has precipitated a surge in recent evidence regarding their role in epilepsy. In this literature review, we examine the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of several biomarkers, including amyloid‐beta (Aβ) protein, total (t‐tau), phosphorylated tau (p‐tau) protein,

Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.
