Specific Targeting of Atherosclerotic Plaques in ApoE(-/-) Mice Using a New Camelid sdAb Binding the Vulnerable Plaque Marker LOX-1. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose
Molecular imaging has the potential to provide quantitative information about specific biological aspects of developing atherosclerotic lesions. This requires the generation of reliable, highly specific plaque tracers. This study reports a new camelid single-domain antibody fragment (sdAb) targeting the Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1), a biomarker for the detection and molecular phenotyping of ...

Selective removal of macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques as a pharmacological approach for plaque stabilization: benefits vs. potential complications Universiteit Antwerpen
Atherosclerotic plaque destabilization is a major cause of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. Macrophages, which are an essential component of unstable plaques, play a pivotal role in the destabilization process, whereas smooth muscle cells contribute to plaque stability. Selective removal of macrophages is therefore an interesting pharmacological objective to stabilize vulnerable, rupture-prone lesions. ...

Speckle tracking strain estimation of a carotid artery plague phantom - validation via sonomicrometry KU Leuven
Current clinical ultrasound-based methods for plaque characterization are limited to visual assessment of plaque echogenicity creating demand for quantitative diagnostic tools. Our objective was to validate radial and longitudinal speckle tracking (ST) strain in phantom plaques via sonomicrometry (sono), and to compare the peak plaque and arterial wall strain. Four carotid artery gel-phantoms with a soft wall inclusion, mimicking a vulnerable ...
Plague in tanzania - a landscape ecological approach KU Leuven
Plague remains a public health threat in many parts of the world, but particularly insub-Saharan Africa. In general, it occurs seasonally and shows a clear geographicallydisjunct distribution in circumscribed foci. In spite of plague’s highly focal nature, theunderlying ecology remains often unknown and Ecological Niche Modeling suggeststhat plague can occur in highly diverse landscapes under wide ranges of environmentalconditions (Neerinckx et ...

Geographic distribution and ecological niche of plague in sub-Saharan Africa KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
BACKGROUND: Plague is a rapidly progressing, serious illness in humans that is likely to be fatal if not treated. It remains a public health threat, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In spite of plague's highly focal nature, a thorough ecological understanding of the general distribution pattern of plague across sub-Saharan Africa has not been established to date. In this study, we used human plague data from sub-Saharan Africa for 1970-2007 in ...
