Effect of amine fluoride/stannous fluoride-containing toothpaste and mouthrinsings on dental plaque, gingivitis, plaque and enamel F-accumulation.
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of an amine fluoride/stannous fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash on dental plaque and gingivitis, plaque F- accumulation, F- content and acid solubility of dental enamel. Participants in the 12-week double-blind study were 92 schoolchildren, with a mean age of 12.4 years, randomly distributed to four groups: (1) AmF/SnF2 toothpaste, (2) placebo tooth...
متن کاملImaging cardiac SCN5A using the novel F-18 radiotracer radiocaine
The key function of the heart, a well-orchestrated series of contractions, is controlled by cardiac action potentials. These action potentials are initiated and propagated by a single isoform of voltage gated sodium channels - SCN5A. However, linking changes in SCN5A expression levels to human disease in vivo has not yet been possible. Radiocaine, an F-18 radiotracer for positron emission tomog...
متن کاملIn Vivo Molecular Imaging of Ruptured Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque Using IVUS, OCT, and FDG-PET/CT.
A n 83-year-old man was transferred to our hospital due to worsening effort angina pectoris. Electrocardiogram during chest pain at rest showed ST-segment elevation with hyperacute T waves and negative U waves in leads V2 through V4 (Figure 1A). Sublingual administration of nitroglycerin relieved him from chest pain, when electrocardiogram showed inverted T waves (Figure 1B). Biomarkers of myoc...
متن کاملF-18 Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography for Detecting Atherosclerotic Plaques
A large number of major cardiovascular events occur in patients due to minimal or some lumen narrowing of the coronary artery. Recent biological studies have shown that the biological composition or vulnerability of the plaque is more critical for plaque rupture compared to the degree of stenosis. To overcome the limitations of anatomical images, molecular imaging techniques have been suggested...
متن کاملParticle disease on fluoride-18 (NaF) PET/CT imaging.
Particle disease is a loss of bone that commonly occurs about five years after arthroplasty. The cause is secondary to microabrasive wear and shedding of any portion of the prosthesis, and the microscopic foreign bodies activate inflammation which can lead to pain. This report describes the imaging findings of an 80-year-old female with particle disease detected with 18F-fluoride PET/CT.
