Introduction: To assess and correlate pulmonary involvement outcome of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia with the degree coronary plaque burden based on CAC-DRS classification (Coronary Artery Calcium Data Reporting System).
Whether quantitative, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional plaque measurements by intravascular ultrasound with radiofrequency backscatter (IVUS/VH) are different between intermediate lesions with or without major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is unknown. IVUS/VH-derived parameters were compared in 60 patients with an intermediate coronary lesion (40-70 %) between lesions that did or d...
By means of micro-equilibrium dialysis, calcium binding capacities and affinities were measured in three different oral bacteria, and the effects of extracellular polysaccharide, pH, and aggregation were investigated. Binding capacities of 31.0 +/- 2.1 (C. matruchotii), 34.7 +/- 3.7 (S. sanguis), and 41.5 +/- 5.4 (S. downei) mumol calcium/g wet weight of cells were found at pH 7.0, falling to 2...
conclusions cigarette smoking and bmi are two main confounding factors affecting the correlation of calcium and phosphate concentrations in the saliva and periodontal status. background periodontitis is a multi-factorial disease related to the formation of dental plaque. saliva composition plays a role in plaque formation and in the development of periodontal disease. objectives this study was ...
BACKGROUND Circulating microparticles (MPs) have been reported to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we explored the relationship between MPs procoagulant activity and characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque detected by 64-slice computed tomography angiography (CTA). METHODS In 127 consecutive patients with CAD but without acute coronary syndrome and who underw...
BACKGROUND Calcium nephrolithiasis is a multifactorial disease with a polygenic milieu. Association studies identified genetic polymorphisms potentially implicated in the pathogenesis of calcium nephrolithiasis. The present article reviews the mechanisms of calcium stone formation and the potential contribution of gene polymorphisms to lithogenic mechanisms. SUMMARY Endoscopy observations sug...
Plaque 'calcium-fluoride-like' (CaF(2)-like) and fluoride deposits held by biological/bacterial calcium fluoride (Ca-F) bonds appear to be the source of cariostatic concentrations of fluoride in plaque fluid. The aim of this study was to quantify the amounts of plaque fluoride held in these reservoirs after a sodium fluoride rinse. 30 and 60 min after a 228 microg/g fluoride rinse, plaque sampl...
UNLABELLED Several studies have highlighted the role of vascular (18)F-NaF uptake as a marker of ongoing calcium deposition. However, accumulation of (18)F-NaF is often inconsistent with localization of arterial plaque. Calcification activity and thus (18)F-NaF uptake might prevail in the earlier plaque stages. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated (18)F-NaF uptake in plaque of 3 different dens...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Computed tomography (CT) is used to study coronary artery plaques, but little is known about its potential to characterize plaque composition. This study assesses the relation between carotid calcium score (CCS) by CT and plaque composition, namely extracellular matrix, inflammatory mediators, and calcium metabolites. METHODS Thirty patients with significant carotid ste...
