TNFα-dependent mTOR activity is required for tenotomy-induced ectopic ossification in mice
IntroductionEctopic ossifications often occur in skeletal muscles or tendons following local trauma or internal hemorrhage, and occasionally cause...

Circulating Osteocalcin Fractions are Associated with Vascular Calcification and Mortality in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
BackgroundVascular calcification, a component of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), is prevalent in patients with end-stage...

Useful diagnostic histogenetic features of ectopic odontogenic ghost cell tumours
BackgroundEctopic odontogenic tumours are rare and difficult to diagnose. Consequently, they are occasionally misdiagnosed as other tumours and...

Role of galectin-3 in vascular calcification
Vascular calcification is an abnormal process in which bone specific hydroxyapatite crystals are actively deposited on the vascular wall mediated by...
-
Vascular wall microenvironment: exosomes secreted by adventitial fibroblasts induced vascular calcification
Vascular calcification often occurs in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), which significantly increases the incidence of cardiovascular...

Calcification and Aortic Syndromes
Vascular calcification is defined as the deposition of calcium crystals within the vessel wall, initiated as microcalcification and propagating...

Ectopic meningioma presenting as a neck mass: case report and review of literature
BackgroundEctopic meningiomas are rare neoplasms that occur entirely outside the intracranial and intraspinal cavities and account for only 1–2% of...

Management of Peripheral Arterial Calcification
Vascular calcification (VC) is associated with a significant increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It can affect any segment of the...

Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor is associated with cardiovascular calcification in peritoneal dialysis patients
BackgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Cardiovascular...

The relationship between coronary artery calcification and bone metabolic markers in maintenance hemodialysis patients
BackgroundTo study the influencing factors for coronary artery calcification (CAC) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and the relationship...

Mechanisms and clinical implications of intervertebral disc calcification
Low back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is often associated with low back pain but is...

Longitudinal assessment of vascular calcification in generalized arterial calcification of infancy
BackgroundGeneralized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI), also known as idiopathic infantile arterial calcification, is a very uncommon genetic...

Ectopic Gallbladder: an Unusual Anatomic Variant Causing Surgical Dilemma
Anatomical variations in the location of gall bladder are rare. Rarely, they may present with intra-operative surprise. We present a case of an...

Inhibition of mitochondrial phosphate carrier prevents high phosphate-induced superoxide generation and vascular calcification
Vascular calcification is a serious complication of hyperphosphatemia that causes cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have...

Cardiovascular Calcification in Systemic Diseases
Over the last two decades cardiovascular calcification (CVC) evolved from a poorly understood process and largely underestimated issue to one due to...

The Pathology of Primary Familial Brain Calcification: Implications for Treatment
Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder mainly characterized by progressive calcium deposition...

Thyroglossal Duct Cyst and Other Ectopic Thyroid Tissue in the Neck
Thyroid tissue can be found in ectopic locations in the anterior neck due to the path taken during embryogenesis. The most common form of ectopic...

A rare case of intervertebral disc calcification combined with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in a child: a case report and literature review
BackgroundIntervertebral disc calcification (IDC) combined with calcification in children has been sporadically reported, while ossification of the...

Calciprotein Particle Synthesis Strategy Determines In Vitro Calcification Potential
Circulating calciprotein particles (CPP), colloids of calcium, phosphate and proteins, were identified as potential drivers of the calcification...

Endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of a non-functioning ectopic pituitary adenoma located in the clivus: a case report and literature review
We successfully removed a rare ectopic pituitary adenoma from a 64-year-old female patient initially misdiagnosed with a chordoma. The tumor was...
