Does ezetimibe attenuate Atherosclerosis Associated with Lipid Reduction and Inflammation Inhibition?
Ezetimibe alone played the same protection against a moderate atherosclerotic lesion as atorvastatin, which was associated with lowering serum cholesterol, decreasing circulating inflammatory cytokines, and inhibiting macrophage accumulation in the lesions.
Thermographic evaluation of tissue around a negative-pressure dressing did not demonstrate a zone of increased perfusion, contrary to other studies, which used laser Doppler. This is in keeping with recent work demonstrating that negative-pressure wound therapy increases tissue pressure while the dressing is applying suction.CLINICAL QUESTION/
