The knee is the largest joint on the body and most prone to issues like injury. A puffy, stiff, or painful knee can limit ...

Human exposure to toxic particles drives various diseases. Examples include gout, an acute arthritis driven by monosodium urate crystals, or MSUc; CPPD disease, another inflammatory joint disease ...

A groundbreaking study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases uncovers new genetic links to calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease, a common type of inflammatory arthritis.

For the conditions studied, the results showed that the use of marble waste allowed the obtaining of binary mixtures of the type ß-calcium pyrophosphate (ß-Ca 2 P 2 O 7)/magnesian whitlockite ( (CaMg) ...

Objectives The Gout, Hyperuricaemia and Crystal-Associated Disease Network (G-CAN) has developed a calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) nomenclature project. This systematic literature review ...

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common adult rheumatic disease characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation and subchondral bone remodeling. Risk factors associated with OA ...

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is a type of arthritis affecting aging adults that presents with chronic and acute inflammatory and non-inflammatory joint disease. While the etiology ...

Machine learning models diagnosed gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition with accuracies similar to trained observers. The models could be applied at point of care without specific training.

Inflammation in joints from calcium crystal arthropathies stems from various crystals like hydroxyapatite, octacalcium phosphate, and calcium pyrophosphate Dihydrate. Distinguishing them with ...
