Male genital lichen sclerosus

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Male genital lichen sclerosus is driven by chronic, occluded exposure of susceptible genital epithelium to urine, rather than infection or autoimmunity. This review synthesizes clinical, anatomical and molecular evidence showing how microincontinence and occlusion initiate inflammation, fibrosis and carcinogenesis, and explains the curative effect of ...

Effects of Acidic Media on the Mechanical and Optical Properties of Digitally Designed Restorative Materials

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This investigation assessed how acidic environments affect the optical behavior, surface roughness, and hardness of a newly developed 3D‐printed permanent resin compared with commonly used computer‐aided design/computer‐aided manufacturing restorative blocks.

Navigating challenges in prosthodontic rehabilitation after long‐term delay following fibula free flap reconstruction with a unique overlay removable prosthesis and large vertical dimension increase

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report highlights the experience of one maxillofacial surgical patient who delayed prosthodontic treatment for 7 years as they saved to self‐fund access to a subsidized prosthodontic service. Without the benefit of a restored opposing dentition for a prolonged period of time, maxillary occlusal plane disruption occurred as a ...

Impact of prosthetic abutment design on peri‐implant clinical and esthetic outcomes: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate, based exclusively on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the current evidence on the influence of different prosthetic abutment designs on peri‐implant clinical outcomes and esthetic parameters. Methods This systematic review and meta‐analysis of RCTs was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic

Statins and Vulnerable Plaque

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2018
Background: Atherosclerosis is a systemic, progressive lipid-driven inflammatory disease of the arterial vascular wall leading progressively to plaque development. The vulnerable plaque, the one considered to be the leading cause of cardiovascular events seems to exhibit a large and soft lipid-rich necrotic core covered by a thin and inflamed fibrous

Vulnerable Plaque Imaging

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2023
Atherosclerotic plaques progress as a result of inflammation. Both invasive and noninvasive imaging techniques have been developed to identify and characterize plaque as vulnerable (more likely to rupture and cause a clinical event). Imaging techniques to identify vulnerable include identifying vessels with focal subendothelial collections of I ...

The Vulnerable Coronary Plaque

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2000
Vulnerable coronary plaques are asymptomatic atherosclerotic lesions with the tendency to rupture. Plaque rupture is the initiating event in most acute coronary syndromes including sudden cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction, and unstable angina. Vulnerable plaques are commonly found in coronary arteries at autopsy but are virtually undetectable ...

Dyslipidemia and the vulnerable plaque

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2002
In the last decade, an increasingly sophisticated understanding of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its cardiovascular consequences has emerged. The characteristics of the unstable atherosclerotic plaque, the substrate for the majority of acute coronary events, have been well defined: mild-to-moderate stenosis, a lipid-rich pool, few smooth ...

Vulnerable Plaque Imaging

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2005
The concept of vulnerable plaque is well established with increasing evidence from clinical and basic research. The paradigm has shifted from focusing exclusively on the hemodynamic effects of plaque (ie, resulting lumenal stenosis alone as a predictor of stroke risk) to assessment of the structure and composition of plaque (eg, denuded endothelium ...
