Sentence examples for contribution of plaque from inspiring English sources

We measured plaque volume (PV) and the relative contribution of plaque components (calcifications, fibrous tissue, and lipid) in the symptomatic artery.

Because severe calcification may hamper the quantification of lipid [ 6], we repeated the analyses in which the contribution of plaque components was involved, after exclusion of severely calcified plaques (defined as >20% calcifications).

This study investigates the contribution of plaque-left-behind and saliva towards substantivity of three antibacterial toothpastes versus a control paste without antibacterial claims.

In the general public, the amount of plaque-left-behind after brushing can be expected to be larger than in the current study, which may yield an even more pronounced contribution of plaque-left-behind toward the substantive action of antibacterial toothpaste components.

The contributions of plaque and saliva towards substantivity were determined by combining control plaques with experimental plaque or saliva samples and subsequently assessing their viabilities.

Therefore we compare the contributions of plaque and of saliva to the prolonged substantivity of three antibacterial toothpastes versus a control toothpaste, without antibacterial claims as well as possible changes in bacterial composition of plaque and saliva after the use of the different toothpastes.

> Table  2 shows the volume of the plaque and the contribution of the plaque components for the different grades of stenosis.

Moreover, our data show that Thal amyloid phase remains the significant predictor of PiB SUV ratio adding new insight to the contribution of diffuse plaque pathology to increasing PiB retention in the presence of other forms of amyloid-β pathology.

Although the effects of chlorhexidine on reducing pneumonia were discussed, there was no mention of the possible contribution of physical plaque removal, in particular tooth brushing, which is often performed either infrequently or inadequately in mechanically ventilated patients [ 1].

This review will summarise macrophage phenotype heterogeneity, the presence of the different 'subsets' within the plaque throughout its development and focus, in particular, on the possible clinical significance of macrophage subsets in terms of their likely contribution to plaque stability – such as their role in the core and cap.

PiB-PET is able to track Aβ deposition across the spectrum of normal aging to advanced Alzheimer's disease (Forsberg et al., 2007; Kemppainen et al., 2007; Rowe et al., 2007), and further histological studies will need to be performed to assess the relative contributions of different plaque types across this spectrum.
