Cornell researchers have developed a two-phase liquid crystal system that can rapidly change—and hold—its shape, transforming ...

Pseudogout is a term used to refer to calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD). It results from calcium pyrophosphate crystals forming and building up in the joints and nearby tissues ...

DEAR READER: Pseudogout is a form of arthritis triggered by deposits of calcium crystals in the joints. As crystals accumulate in the affected joint, they can cause a reaction that leads to severe ...

Pyrite is often dismissed as “fool’s gold” but this mineral creates some of the most stunning crystals in nature. Walk into ...

What causes pseudogout? It is not clear why the calcium pyrophosphate crystals form, and not everyone who develops crystals in their joints will experience pain or swelling.

Gout crystals may form when there is too much uric acid in your bloodstream. Here’s information about gout crystals and how to stop them.

Pseudogout is a type of arthritis that causes pain, redness, heat, and swelling in many joints, symptoms that resemble those of gout. Unlike gout, though, the symptoms of pseudogout are caused by ...

Unlock the hidden potential of crystals by understanding their shapes. Each form, from pointed generators to raw, unpolished stones, influences energy flow and application. Towers connect Earth to ...

Pseudogout earned its name by having symptoms so similar to true gout that it was often mistaken for it. In gout, uric acid crystals penetrate joints and cause them to throb and swell.

With pseudogout, crystals of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate penetrate joints and the tissues around joints. Like gout, pseudogout comes on at older ages.

Pseudogout is an acute presentation of one type of crystal deposition disease in which calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals are found in the joint spaces of synovial joints. In this case, a 56 ...
