AI Article Synopsis
- Tumoral calcinosis is a non-cancerous condition marked by calcium buildups near joints, commonly seen in people with chronic kidney failure.
- The condition typically appears as swollen lumps under the skin and can cause joint swelling.
- A specific case showed high uptake of a radioactive tracer on PET/CT scans, leading to confusion with lymphoma or metastases, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis.
Article Abstract
Tumoral calcinosis is a benign condition characterized by periarticular calcified lesions that is frequently observed in patients with chronic renal failure. Tumoral calcinosis often presents with subcutaneous masses and joint swelling. We present a case of tumoral calcinosis with dramatically increased F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (F-FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) that mimicked lymphoma or lymph node metastases.

Introduction: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is increasingly prevalent among the aging population, and there is a notable lack of drug therapies. Consequently, identifying novel drug targets will be of utmost importance. Given that type 2 diabetes is an important risk factor for CAVD, we identified key genes associated with diabetes - related CAVD via various bioinformatics methods, which provide further potential molecular targets for CAVD with diabetes.

To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with metastatic calcification undergoing maintenance dialysis. Patients diagnosed with metastatic calcification via 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy between June 2019 and March 2023 at our hospital were included in this study. All patients were followed from the time of diagnosis until death, loss to follow-up, or the study endpoint (July 2023).

Objective: We investigated the effects of resveratrol (Res) and MCC950 on the pyroptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the potential pathway.
Methods And Results: Compared with the control (Con) group, the atherosclerosis (AS) group showed calcified nodules, which suggested that the calcification medium induced the calcification of VSMCs. VSMCs showed proliferative activity and significantly attenuated calcification under treatment with 10 mol/L Res.
Association Between Myocardial Work and Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.

Cardiovascular Non-Invasive Imaging Research Laboratory, Department of Cardiology, Copenhagen University Hospital - Herlev and Gentofte, Hellerup, Denmark.
Background: Myocardial work is a novel measure of potential value for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). It may therefore be useful in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), in whom the diagnostic work-up can be challenging.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of patients with CKD (G1-5, nondialysis-dependent).
