A drug candidate, previously successful at treating severe fatty liver disease, reduces atherosclerosis—a primary driver of cardiovascular death worldwide—in large mammals, a study suggests. Real-time ...

Absence of muscle tissue in biopsy samples is common and associated with increased risk of death. In a small study, 50% of non-diabetic hemodialysis patients with elevated FGF-23 showed correlations ...

In the hemodialysis population, cardiovascular calcifications result from excess phosphate and calcium, as well as reduced activity of inhibitors of calcification, such as matrix Gla protein. Vitamin ...

Logistic regression is the most cost-effective model for medial vascular calcification classification, with a mean ICER of $278 using five low-cost features. Despite similar diagnostic accuracy, ...

Routine mammograms are a critical tool for breast cancer screening. However, they may also hold crucial, potentially untapped ...

The treatment of calcification largely depends on the cause and the location where the accumulation of calcium has occurred as well as the complications that arise as a result of the disorder. The ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have uncovered a link between cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease, revealing novel disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets ...

The coronary artery supplies blood to the heart. If calcium builds up in the coronary artery, it can lead to coronary artery disease and increase a person’s risk of a heart attack. Calcium is the most ...

MANY authors 1–5 reporting on disseminated pulmonary calcification have suggested that this entity represented healed miliary tuberculosis even though a history suggestive of acute miliary ...

People who smoke or have diabetes may be at increased risk of calcifications in a region of the brain crucial to memory, according to a new study. People who smoke or have diabetes may be at increased ...
