2. 1. On salivary interactions with the antiplaque agents delmopinol and chlorhexidine : An experimental in vitro study

   Author : Liana Bastos Treitas-Fernandes; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Saliv; Klorhexidin; Salivproteiner; Plack;

   Abstract : Several chemical agents have been used to aid in the removal of dental plaque and to prevent or decrease the occurrence of oral diseases, Defining the interactions of chemical agents and saliva contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in chemical plaque control. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the salivary interactions between two antiplaque agents and saliva and microorganisms at defined solid/liquid and air liquid interfaces. READ MORE

4. 2. Statistical Aspects of Diffusion in Turbulent Plasmas

   Author : Igor Holod; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; turbulent diffusion; fluctuations; fluid closure; Fokker-Plack equation; non-Markovian effects;

   Abstract : In this work we address the closure issue in kinetic and fluid descriptions of turbulent plasmas. In fluid description contribution has been made to the nonlinear closure by Mattor and Parker [Phys. Rev. Lett. READ MORE

5. 3. Assessing carotid plaque structure

   Author : Isabel Goncalves; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Modified LDL; Antibodies; Lipids; AP-1; Cellularity; Extracellular Matrix; Calcification; Elastin; Stroke; Gray-Scale Median; Echogenicity; Ultrasound; Atherosclerosis; Carotid Plaque;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death and disability in the western world. Its clinical complications include acute myocardial infarction, sudden death and stroke. Thirty to 40 % of all ischemic strokes are caused by a carotid stenosis. READ MORE

6. 4. Ultrasound features of human carotid plaques

   Author : Gerd Östling; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atherosclerosis; carotid plaques; echogenicity; diabetes; obesity; beta-blocker; grey scale median;

   Abstract : Atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid arteries are common in a middle-aged population. When a carotid plaque ruptures it may result in a cerebrovascular event. However, only a minor part of carotid plaques will eventually rupture. Finding those plaques is essential to decide the most appropriate treatment strategy. READ MORE

7. 5. Fibromodulin and Dystrophin in Atherosclerosis: Novel roles for extracellular matrix in plaque development

   Author : Annelie Shami; Kärlväggsbiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atherosclerosis; fibromodulin; dystrophin; carotid artery; lipid accumulation; restenosis; plaque;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular disease represents nearly half the cases of noncommunicable diseases worldwide and is the leading global cause of death. The main underlying cause is atherosclerosis, and in atherosclerotic plaque progression the structure, composition and integrity of a dynamic extracellular matrix (ECM) is one very important factor.
