HDL and plaque regression in a multiphase model of early atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2023 Atherosclerotic plaques are accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages in the artery wall. Plaque growth is initiated and sustained by the deposition of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the artery wall. High density lipoproteins (HDL) counterbalance the effects of LDL by accepting cholesterol from macrophages and removing it from the plaque. In

Flow Cytometry-Based Characterization of Mast Cells in Human Atherosclerosis
Cells, 2019 The presence of mast cells in human atherosclerotic plaques has been associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Mast cell activation, through the classical antigen sensitized-IgE binding to their characteristic Fcε-receptor, causes the release ...

Update of the CLRP eye plaque brachytherapy database for photon-emitting sources [PDF]
, 2021 Purpose: To update and extend the Carleton Laboratory for Radiotherapy Physics (CLRP) Eye Plaque (EP) dosimetry database for low-energy photon-emitting brachytherapy sources using egs_brachy, an open-source EGSnrc application. The previous database, CLRP_EPv1, contained datasets for the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) plaques (2008). The new

Improving segmentation of calcified and non-calcified plaques on CCTA-CPR scans via masking of the artery wall [PDF]
SPIE 12465, Medical Imaging 2023: Computer-Aided Diagnosis, 2022 The presence of plaques in the coronary arteries is a major risk to the patients' life. In particular, non-calcified plaques pose a great challenge, as they are harder to detect and more likely to rupture than calcified plaques. While current deep learning techniques allow precise segmentation of real-life images, the performance in medical images is ...
