Conversely, calcification can be pathological, affecting soft tissues like the blood vessels, as seen in generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) or arterial calcification due to CD73 deficiency (ACDC). The aim of this article is to first present the composition and structure of the ...
Peripheral arterial' disease (PAD) in type 1 diabetes can include occlusive changes in leg blood pressure due to atherosclerotic plaques and manifest as a low ankle brachial index (ABI). Alternatively, advanced calcification with non-compressible vessels may manifest as a high ABI. To determine ...

Calcium phosphate bions (CPB) are biomimetic mineralo-organic nanoparticles which represent a physiological mechanism regulating the function, transport and disposal of calcium and phosphorus in the human body. We hypothesised that CPB may be pathogenic

Vascular calcification powerfully predicts mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular disease. Men have a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, compared to women of a similar age. These gender disparities suggest an influence of sex hormones. Testoste
Vascular calcification is the abnormal deposition of calcium phosphate complexes in blood vessels, which is regarded as the pathological basis of multiple cardiovascular diseases. The flowing blood exerts a frictional force called shear stress on the vascular wall. Blood vessels have different hydrodynamic...
Multivariate analysis indicated that aortic wall 18F-NaF uptake is associated with diastolic blood pressure. There was no significant correlation between 18F-FDG and 18F-NaF uptake in any of the artery walls. Conclusion: In the present cross-sectional study, inflammation and calcification were not ...
