Sentence examples for plaque I from inspiring English sources

The physician is guided in this judgment by the status of three characteristics of the plaque (i.e., plaque elevation, scaling and erythema).

A more careful examination of this hypothesis would require a "systems biology" approach to dental plaque, i.e., determining how the individual plaque constituents interact to produce the resulting properties of a biofilm community.

The volume of the plaque (i.e., intima plus media layers) is then calculated as the sum of the volumes occupied by the different species (i.e., foam cells, macrophages, monocytes, LDL) inside the wall.

Each individual coronary segment was graded as having no to severe plaque (i.e., scores from 0 to 3) based on the extent of the obstruction of the coronary luminal diameter.

Failure to employ adjunctive mechanical debridement of dental plaque (i.e., tooth brushing) and to standardize recommended VAP prevention measures may have further obscured any potentially beneficial effect of PAD.

With the latter score, each coronary segment was graded as having no to severe plaque (i.e., score from 0 to 3, with no plaque = 0, stenosis <50% = 1, 50 69% stenosis = 2, and ≥70% stenosis = 3), based on the extent of obstruction of coronary lumen diameter.

Each coronary artery is separately commented on with regard to the presence and type of plaques (i.e., non-calcified, mixed, or calcified).

Diffuse plaques, i.e. accumulations of Aβ peptide lacking a congophilic core, were only observed in the presence of very high total plaque loads, forming small satellite deposits in proximity to dense-core plaques.

Three types of plaques were determined using the following classification proposed by Ballotta et al. [ 9]: (1) noncalcified plaques, i.e., plaques with a density <50 HU; (2) calcified plaques, i.e., plaques with a mean attenuation of 130 HU or greater; and (3) mixed plaques, i.e., plaques with a mean attenuation of 50-129 HU.

Therefore, we analysed the volumes of pre-existing plaques, i.e. plaques that had been present before the treatment was started (Fig. 1D) and newborn plaques, i.e. plaques that appeared during the treatment period, separately (Fig. 1E).

Dural ossification is characterized by the deposition of ossified plaques (i.e. lamellar bone plaques) in the inner surface of the dura [ 7, 20].
