Mast cells have been shown to release extracellular vesicles (EVs) in vitro. However, EV-mediated mast cell communication in vivo remains unexplored. Primary mast cells from GFP-transgenic and wild type mice, were grown in the presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the secreted EVs were separated from the conditioned media.

Methods: This prospective observational study included 1312 consecutive patients, in three remote primary care areas, with symptoms or physical examination signs suggestive of cardiovascular disease. In 859 patients (group A), FDs had indicated conventional echocardiography (CE), and in 453 (Group B) the study was performed to complement the physical examination.
Background: There are different diseases which are associated with articular chondrocalcinosis (ACC) although in some it is debated whether this is a real association or an accidental coexistence. The aim of the present study was to analyze the prevalence and type of associated diseases in a series of patients with ACC and to compare with other series in the literature, as well as determine the performance of a protocol directed to the search for such diseases in patients with ACC.
Method: A total of 95 patients diagnosed of ACC and attended in the out patients department of Rheumatology in a general hospital over a 5 year period (1987-1991) were included in a protocol specially designed to search for diseases associated to ACC.
