Relationship between Skeletal Maturity Indicators and Dental Calcification Stages in a Sample Pediatric Population

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2023
Context: Human growth shows considerable variation. In addition to constitutional differences in the timing of maturation, there are diseases, systemic disorders and environmental factors that may affect a child's physiologic maturity. Interrelationships

Therapeutic Management of Symptomatic Calcification in a Patient With Normophosphatemic Tumoral Calcinosis

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2023
Tumoral calcinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder marked by lobulated soft tissue calcifications not associated with physiologic osteogenesis but rather phosphate metabolism dysregulation.

Intracranial physiological calcifications: A computed tomography study

Imaging, 2023
AbstractBackground and aimIntracranial calcifications (ICs) occur when metals such as calcium or iron accumulate in blood vessels, glands or other structures related to the brain. They can be physiological or pathological. Currently, the most sensitive method for imaging IC is cranial computed tomography (CT). The aim of this retrospective study was to

Annexin A5 stabilizes matrix vesicle-biomimetic lipid membranes: unravelling a new role of annexins in calcification [PDF]

, 2023
Matrix vesicles are a special class of extracellular vesicles thought to actively contribute to both physiologic and pathologic mineralization. Proteomic studies have shown that matrix vesicles possess high amounts of annexin A5, suggesting that the ...

Extensive calcification in adenocarcinoma of the lung: A case report

Thoracic Cancer, 2020
Calcification in lung nodules usually indicates a benign lesion. Here, we report the case of a 59‐year‐old male patient with a well defined 30 mm calcified nodule in his right upper lung lobe and calcified mediastinal lymph nodes.

Differential predictability for high-risk plaque characteristics between fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio

Scientific Reports, 2023
To evaluate the differential associations of high-risk plaque characteristics (HRPC) with resting or hyperemic physiologic indexes (instantaneous wave-free ratio [iFR] or fractional flow reserve [FFR]), a total of 214 vessels from 127 patients with ...
