Calcified green seaweeds can become abundant on reefs ; because they combine chemical and mineral ( = CaCO,) defenses with nocturnal growth that allows nutritionally valuable new tissues to be produced during the night when day-active fishes are not feeding. For herbivores with acid-mediated digestion, CaCO, alone may strongly deter feeding by buffering gut pH even when it has no effect on alga...

PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was associated with the presence and morphology of coronary atherosclerotic plaques shown by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in asymptomatic subjects without a history of cardiovascular disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 772 consecutive South Korean individuals who had...

Calcified aponeurotic fibroma is a rare benign fibroblastic tumor. The lesion has property of local invasion and high recurrence. Because this property, tumor should be accurately diagnosed pre-operatively. We report case 29 years old male, with palpable painful mass on the anterior chest wall near left pectoral region, describes radiographic MR findings. No skin defect was detected but patient...

droxide formulations are currently used to accelerate the formation of hard tissue (dentin bridge) on the exposed pulp surface. Though this pulp-conserving coverage technique is practiced widely, hard tissue formation often does not progress smoothly towards a cure, necessitating pulp extraction. As dental pulp conservation in the root canal is considered to yield the best long-term outcome, an...

INTRODUCTION Cardiac calcified amorphous tumor is a rare, non-neoplastic intra-cavity cardiac mass composed of calcium deposits in a background of amorphous degenerating fibrinous material. Only a few cases of this rare lesion have been reported in the available literature. Clinico-pathological differentiation of this lesion from calcified atrial myxoma, calcified thrombi or other cardiac neopl...

Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) was the only method to image coronary arteries for a long time and is still the gold-standard. Technology of noninvasive imaging by coronary computed-tomography angiography (CCTA) has experienced remarkable progress during the last two decades. It is possible to visualize atherosclerotic lesions in the vessel wall in contrast to "lumenography" performed by IC...

The lesion which was initially thought as an aggressive turns to be the unique and unusual type of developmental cyst. A female patient being not aware about this turned up with complaint tooth ache difficulty chew in right side. Later, after examination investigations there seems calcified structure within lesion. diagnosed a Calcified Odontogenic Cyst. present study examines advanced imaging ...

Patterson, D., Gibson, D., Gomes, R., McDonald, L., Olsen, E., Parker, J.; and Ross; D. (1974). Thorax, 29, 589-594. Idiopathic calcified myocardial mass. Myocardial calcification can be subdivided into three groups-metastatic, dystrophic or an extension inwards from the pericardium. This case in which the calcified myocardial mass was initially delineated by radiography and by echocardiography...

The organic matrix from normal and pimpled calcified chicken eggshells were dissociated into acid-insoluble, water-insoluble, and facultative-soluble (both acid- and water-soluble) components, to understand the influence of shell matrix on eggshell qualities. A linear correlation was shown among these 3 matrix components in normal eggshells but was not observed in pimpled eggshells. In pimpled ...
