Hyaline cartilage5
- Chondrocalcinosis or cartilage calcification is calcification (accumulation of calcium salts) in hyaline cartilage and/or fibrocartilage. (wikipedia.org)

- Chondrocalcinosis is recognized as calcification within fibrous or hyaline cartilage structures. (medscape.com)
- The classic radiologic findings include chondrocalcinosis of the hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage of the knees, the fibrocartilage of the triangular ligament of the wrist, the fibrocartilage of the symphysis pubis, and the acetabulum labrum of the hips. (medscape.com)
- Conclusion: We found that bright stippled foci in the synovial fluid or around the articular region, the thin hyperechoic band parallel to the surface of the hyaline cartilage, and the calcification of fibrocartilage seen on ultrasound could represent CPPD deposits. (tmu.edu.tw)

- For example, chondrocalcinosis can be a skeletal disorder where calcium mineral pyrophosphate crystals are transferred in GPDA the tendons and bones, triggering painful and acute inflammation [2]. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)
- CPPD crystal deposition (chondrocalcinosis, pyrophosphate arthropathy), whether symptomatic and asymptomatic, becomes more common with age. (msdmanuals.com)
CPPD2
- This is usually associated with radiographic findings of chondrocalcinosis in the absence of clinical manifestations and may be the most common form of CPPD. (medscape.com)
- Patients with CPPD usually also have chondrocalcinosis, deposits of calcium in the cartilage. (the-medical-dictionary.com)
Presence of chondrocalcinosis2
- Radiodense lines paralleling the articular surface and calcification in the menisci of the knee identify the presence of chondrocalcinosis. (medscape.com)
- The presence of chondrocalcinosis can aid in making the diagnosis. (medscape.com)
Articular5
- Among articular conditions, osteoarthritis is frequent and early in diabetes, in which also chondrocalcinosis and gout occur. (benthamscience.com)
- The patient is known to have articular chondrocalcinosis on anti-inflammatory medication. (bvsalud.org)
- Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiograms showed no sign of activity or presence of neovessels.A complete metabolic work-up, mainly phosphocalcic, was ordered again and the systemic diagnosis of articular chondrocalcinosis was retained. (bvsalud.org)
- SMOC2 was determined from an extracellular draw out from the articular cartilage [9C11] originally, a tissue where calcification should be prevented. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)
- Predicated on its framework and its manifestation in the articular cartilage, we hypothesized that SMOC2 may have inhibitory effects about calcification. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)
Gout1
- As with most conditions, chondrocalcinosis can present with similarity to other diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and gout. (wikipedia.org)
Ectopic2
- Vascular calcification is a pathology characterized by the deposition of calcium-phosphate in cardiovascular structures, mainly in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals, resulting in ectopic calcification. (revistanefrologia.com)
- Nevertheless, ectopic or extreme calcification plays a part in diseases such as for example chondrocalcinosis, to calcium mineral deposits in your skin or even to vascular calcification. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)
Vascular calcifications1
- Numerous enzymes implicated in the metabolism of PPi have been associated with vascular calcifications. (revistanefrologia.com)
Deposition1
- INTRODUCTION: Sclerochoroidal calcifications is a rare condition corresponding to senile plaques due to the deposition of calcium and phosphate in the sclera and choroid. (bvsalud.org)
Extracellular2
- When SMOC2 overexpressing cells had been cultured in the current presence of extracellular calcium mineral supplementation, SMOC2s inhibitory influence on calcification was rescued. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)
- Calcification from the bone tissue extracellular matrix provides body and bone tissue framework, helps to shield the internal organs and it is a storage space site that calcium mineral could be mobilized when needed. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)
Ligaments2
- Metabolic soft tissue diseases (calcification of the ligaments), overloaded joints, disturbed pain reactions (fibromyalgia). (magazine50plus.ch)
- Phenotypically, ttw mice develop excess calcification of the ligaments of the axial skeleton, resulting in myelopathy and an abnormal gait. (biomedcentral.com)
Diseases1
- However, irregular or extreme calcification of cells plays a part in complications or symptoms of different diseases. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)

- identification and analysis of soft tissue musculoskeletal calcifications. (pacs.de)
Radiograph1
- Magnified anteroposterior radiograph of knee demonstrating chondrocalcinosis within the meniscal cartilage of the knee. (medscape.com)
Incidental1
- The incidental detection of chondrocalcinosis on plain x-rays or other imaging does not mean that the patient should be treated for CPP arthritis. (msdmanuals.com)
Skeletal1
- Diffuse skeletal hyperostosis, due to calcification at entheses, is frequent and early, particularly in type 2 diabetes. (benthamscience.com)
Prevalence3
- Previous studies have overestimated the prevalence by simply estimating the prevalence of chondrocalcinosis regardless of cause. (wikipedia.org)
- Prevalence of chondrocalcinosis varies from 7-10% in people aged 60 years, and shows equal sex distribution. (goutinfoclub.com)
- Chondrocalcinosis is strongly associated with age the prevalence is low below 50 years old, and increasing from 10%-15% in those aged 65-75, and 30%-60% in those older than 85. (goutinfoclub.com)

Renal1
- Vascular calcification most happens in individuals experiencing diabetes frequently, renal insufficiency or atherosclerosis [3C5]. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)
Supplementation1
- A magnesium deficiency may cause chondrocalcinosis, and there is anecdotal evidence that magnesium supplementation may reduce or alleviate symptoms. (wikipedia.org)
Bone1
- Intro Cells calcification can be an essential and physiological procedure necessary for the standard function and framework of bone tissue [1]. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)
Strongly1
- We demonstrate, in GPDA various models, that SMOC2 inhibits calcification strongly. (neighborhoodhousecharterschool.org)

- Anterior longitudinal ligament calcification, fusion of multiple facet joints and atypical syndesmophytes were found on cervical spine X-rays (Figure 1 ) and coarse, asymmetrical syndesmophytes were seen on thoracic (Figure 2 ) and lumbar spine (Figure 3 ) X-rays. (archivesofrheumatology.org)
Mechanism1
- Synthesis of calcification inhibitors is the main mechanism by which cells are able to prevent vascular calcification. (revistanefrologia.com)
