Firstly, the quantity of atherosclerotic plaque, expressed as plaque volume, was moderately associated with the severity of stenosis, which implies that PV might be an important additional parameter in the analysis of atherosclerosis in the carotid artery.
** - Plaque Index - mean plaque score, which is a measure of plaque amount.
In contrast, the main consumption of both sugary and acidic beverages or sweets in the present study increased the quantity of dental plaque, which was significantly associated with higher DE prevalence.
To further examine the PAS effect in the T4-like phages, we collected the soft agar containing AS19 host lawns from plates containing a fixed, non-confluent, quantity of T4 plaques that had been incubated the same amount of time either with or without the antibiotic.
Although there is an association between the frequency and extension of tangles and Aβ-plaques and the occurrence of the disease [ 55, 104], Terry et al. [ 132] have shown that the cognitive decline in AD patients only correlates weakly with the quantity of Aβ-plaques or that of neurofibrillary tangles, but it does correlate with synapse loss detected postmortem.
To determine whether the microCT volumetric readout is an appropriate predictor of plaque quantity, and to confirm its correlation with en face surface areas, we compared the two sets of data from the three strains (Figure 3E).
However, the progressive association between the quantity of fat and disease severity in terms of extent of plaque calcification or noncalcified areas, markers of plaque vulnerability, and number of vessels involved is less confirmed.
Significantly higher quantities of macrophage-rich plaque areas have been reported in atherosclerotic patients with acute coronary syndromes than in patients with stable angina.
For each sample, the quantity of PEDV RNA GE was ≈10 times higher than plaque assay results for a cell-adapted PEDV strain, PC22A.
