The Z-Scan (ZS) technique in the thermal regime has been used to measure the nonlinear
optical response of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The ZS technique is carried out in LDL …

The objective of the present study was to establish if individuals with Diabetes Mellitus

Background We have recently developed a non-invasive periodontal diagnostic tool that
was validated in periodontitis patients without systemic disorders like coronary artery …

Background: Recently, there has been an increasing in the impact of oral health on
atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to …

Background and Objective: Visible, near‐infrared (optical) spectroscopy can be used to
measure regional tissue hemodynamics and edema and therefore may represent an ideal …

Modifications in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) have emerged as a major pathogenic factor of
atherosclerosis, which is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world …
