Morphological and Stress Vulnerability Indices for Human Coronary Plaques and Their Correlations with Cap Thickness and Lipid Percent: An IVUS-Based Fluid-Structure Interaction Multi-patient Study. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Plaque vulnerability, defined as the likelihood that a plaque would rupture, is difficult to quantify due to lack of in vivo plaque rupture data. Morphological and stress-based plaque vulnerability indices were introduced as alternatives to obtain ...

Macrophage anti-inflammatory behaviour in a multiphase model of atherosclerotic plaque development [PDF]
Bull Math Biol 85, 37 (2023), 2022 Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterised by the formation of plaques, which are deposits of lipids and cholesterol-laden macrophages that form in the artery wall. The inflammation is often non-resolving, due in large part to changes in normal macrophage anti-inflammatory behaviour that are induced by the toxic plaque microenvironment ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2020 The rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques is the major cause of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Despite significant limitations in our understanding and ability to identify unstable plaque pathology and prevent plaque rupture, most ...

Analysis of atherosclerotic plaque distribution in the carotid artery
Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1272-1276, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that the outer wall at the carotid bifurcation is the most common area of atherosclerotic plaque deposition due to the low shear stress. Hypothesis We hypothesized that the most common site of arteriosclerosis in carotid arteries is different in the early and late stages ...

Importance of inflammation in arteriosclerotic plaque destabilization and rupture [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2005 Introduction. Although Rudolf Virchow considered arteriosclerosis an inflammatory disease in his book Cellular Pathology published in 1858, the opinion that it was a degenerative arterial disease as a civilization disease prevailed.

Antibacterial effects of natural compounds on biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1426-1433, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms. Objectives In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. Material and Methods We extracted
