Elongated styloid process: Is it a pathologic condition?
Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2011 Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the length, morphology, and calcification patterns of the elongated stylohyoid process (ESP) on panoramic radiographs and to investigate the symptoms related to it.

Tendinosis develops from age- and oxygen tension-dependent modulation of Rac1 activity. [PDF]
, 2019 Age-related tendon degeneration (tendinosis) is characterized by a phenotypic change in which tenocytes display characteristics of fibrochondrocytes and mineralized fibrochondrocytes.

Automatic calcium scoring in low-dose chest CT using deep neural networks with dilated convolutions [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging 37(2), pp 615-625, 2018, 2017 Heavy smokers undergoing screening with low-dose chest CT are affected by cardiovascular disease as much as by lung cancer. Low-dose chest CT scans acquired in screening enable quantification of atherosclerotic calcifications and thus enable identification of subjects at increased cardiovascular risk.

Vascular Calcification and Stone Disease: A New Look towards the Mechanism
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2015 Calcium phosphate (CaP) crystals are formed in pathological calcification as well as during stone formation. Although there are several theories as to how these crystals can develop through the combined interactions of biochemical and biophysical factors,

The role of Matrix Gla Protein in ossification and recovery of the avian growth plate
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 ECM mineralization is an essential physiologic process in bone, teeth, and hypertrophic cartilage. Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), an inhibitor of mineralization, is expressed by chondrocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells to inhibit calcification of those ...

Inhibition of MAPK-Erk pathway in vivo attenuates aortic valve disease processes in Emilin1-deficient mouse model [PDF]
, 2017 Aortic valve disease (AVD) is a common condition with a progressive natural history, and presently, there are no pharmacologic treatment strategies. Elastic fiber fragmentation (EFF) is a hallmark of AVD, and increasing evidence implicates developmental ...

Calcification, a physiological process to be considered in the context of the whole organism [PDF]
, 2009 Abstract. Marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate structures are predicted to be most vulnerable to a decline in oceanic pH (ocean acidification) based on the understanding that calcification rates will decrease as a result of changes in the seawater carbonate chemistry thereby reducing carbonate ion concentration (and associated saturation ...

The living aortic valve: From molecules to function. [PDF]
, 2014 The aortic valve lies in a unique hemodynamic environment, one characterized by a range of stresses (shear stress, bending forces, loading forces and strain) that vary in intensity and direction throughout the cardiac cycle.
