Objective(s): Vascular calcification is one the major characteristics in patients with various types of chronic inflammatory disorders. MiRNAs have been shown to be involved in many normal biological functions as well as diseases; however, their role in vascular calcification has not received much attention. Materials and Methods: In the current study, we built a vascular calcification rat mode...

statement of the problem: most of the soft tissue calcifications within the head and neck region might not be accompanied by clinical symptoms but may indicate some pathological conditions. purpose: the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue calcifications in cone beam computed tomography (cbct) images of mandibular region. materials and method: in this cross sectio...

endometrial calcification along with ossification is an uncommon clinical entity. most of the cases are asymptomatic or present with secondary infertility. endometrial ossification associated with repeated abortions has been reported very infrequently. here we report a case of endometrial calcification with ossification  due to retained fetal bony tissue in a 38 year old symptomatic female havi...

to report the association of pulp calcification with that of cardiovascular disease (cvd) using digital panoramic dental radiographs.digital panoramic radiographs of patients referred from the angiography department were included if the patient was under 55 years old and had non-restored or minimally restored molars and canines. an oral and maxillofacial radiologist evaluated the images for pul...

background: ovarian immature teratoma is a very rare type of tumor associated with a high relapse rate and mortality. correspondingly, early diagnosis is important for effective treatment. the goal of this study was to retrospectively analyze the ultrasound characteristics of 11 cases of immature teratomas. materials and methods: between january 2002 and december 2010, 11 patients were diagnose...

The role of oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) and the protective effects of adiponectin in terms of vascular calcification is not well established. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oxHDL with regards to inflammation and vascular calcification and to determine the protective role of adiponectin in attenuating the detrimental effects of oxHDL. Cell viability, mineral...
