Compared with other skin-directed therapies, radiation therapy is particularly advantageous because it can effectively penetrate and treat thicker plaques and tumors.
3 Moreover, tumours and thicker plaques may break down and require wound care.
The cheese didn't feel right, and coated my teeth like a thick plaque, sticking in every crevice of my molars.

In cases with multiple plaques, only the thickest plaque was chosen for IBS analysis.
IBS data in the intima-media complex and those in the adventitia were sampled at the thickest plaque.
Thick plaques that severely occlude an artery can significantly decrease the flow of blood to vascular beds in tissues served by the artery, thereby causing severe tissue damage.
The thick plaques of composites exhibited oxo-degradation in the presence of pro-oxidant with silica and silicate composites with 2.5 wt% additive having 100%% degree of embrittlement in 15 16 months at 30 °C.
A classical skin (with orientation parallel to the flow)–core (with orientation perpendicular) structure is observed for thick plaques (thickness greater than 3 mm) but the core region is fragmentary for thickness less than 1.7 mm.
Conversely, thick plaques with lower percentage of macrophages are more stable.
