A close correlation exists between the pathomechanism and localisation of calcareous bursitis and calcification of tendons and tendon sheaths. Recent descriptions emphasise this fact and give calcifying bursitis. tendinitis and paratendinitis the common name of periarthritis calcarea (Mark#{243} 1956, B#{225}nki1964). Calcareous bursitis is frequently encountered in the shoulder region but it i...

On vaginal examination before operation, a Sdtttjd could not be passed into the uterus but this was put down to the tortuousness of the uterine cavity owing to irregular growth of the fibroid. During operation, under percaine (spinal) anaesthesia, the tumour was found fairly easy .to remove. as there were very few adhesions, considering the ..duration of the growth, and an ordinary supra-vagina...

In a proof-of-concept study, an acidic (pH 5.8) biochar was created using a low pyrolysis temperature (350 °C) and steam activation (800 °C) to potentially improve the soil physicochemical status of an eroded calcareous soil. Biochar was added at 0%, 1%, 2%, and 10% (by wt.) and soils were destructively sampled at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 month intervals. Soil was analyzed for gravimetric water con...

Calcareous sediments cored at Broken and Ninetyeast ridges in the eastern Indian Ocean reveal the transitions from calcareous ooze to chalk and from chalk to limestone. Based on downhole porosity trends and laboratory mechanical consolidation tests, the compaction and lithification of these sedimentary sections occur at stratigraphically shallower depths than comparable marine calcareous sectio...

Primary calcareous degeneration is a rare corneal disease. In the past 50 years, only four cases have been described. We present the case of a 26-year-old male patient with progressive calcium deposition in both eyes with negative laboratory parameters. For the first time, anterior segment optic coherence tomography was used to investigate and establish the proper treatment.
