Defying Logic: Symmetrical Crystals Can Interact With Light Asymmetrically You’d think there would be a law against this, and scientists thought there was, but somehow it happens, and it could ...

Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison collaboration has uncovered a hidden secret.

Genetic research have identified new links between specific genes and arthritis, paving the way for innovative treatments and prevention strategies.

Acute CPP crystal arthritis, historically called "pseudogout," is the most widely recognized form of CPPD disease.

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don't always grow in a straightforward way. New York University researchers have captured this journey from amorphous blob to ...

Machine learning can be combined with Raman spectroscopy to objectively identify gout-causing crystals in synovial fluid and diagnose the condition with high certainty, according to data published ...

Synovial fluid (SF) was analyzed under polarized light microscopy, while a pathologist examined FC and HC samples for crystals using histopathology. The results showed that 100 patients were enrolled ...

X-RAY demonstration of multiple articular chondrocalcinosis has been advanced as a useful preliminary diagnostic sign for pseudogout, a disease marked by deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydra ...

Acute flares of pseudogout (due to CPPD crystal deposition disease) can be clinically indistinguishable from acute gout but favor larger joints (e.g., knee, wrist) rather than the first ...

There are many ways to cleanse your crystals. Here are a few of them, including salt, water, sunlight, and moonlight.
