Inter-Reader and Intra-Reader Reliability of the New Omeract Ultrasonographic Criteria for the Diagnosis of Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease
Background/Purpose: ultrasonography (US) has been implemented recently as a possible diagnostic method for CPPD[1]. However, data on the reliability of US in CPPD diagnosis are…Abstract Number: 237 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Prevalence of Chondrocalcinosis of the Symphysis Pubis on CT Scan and Correlation with Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Crystal Deposition Disease
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPP) crystal deposition in articular cartilage can often be seen radiographically as chondrocalcinosis (CC). CPP crystals preferentially deposit in fibrocartilages such…Abstract Number: 1164 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Four Types of Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystals Differentially Induce IL-1beta Production By Monocytes through ATP/Potassium Efflux/ROS Dependent Pathways
Background/Purpose: Monoclinic and triclinic calcium pyrophosphate (m- and t-CPP) crystals are the 2 types of CPP crystals observed in human joints. Frequently asymptomatic, it can…Abstract Number: 3164 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease and Associated Medical Co-Morbidities in the Veteran Population
Title: Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease and Associated Medical Co-Morbidities in the Veteran Population. Background/Purpose: Precipitation of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPP) crystals in articular tissues…Abstract Number: 1291 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relationships Between Inflammation, Disease Severity and Synovial Fluid Calcium Crystals Detected By Scanning Electronic Microscopy in Early Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose The presence of calcium crystals (CC) in synovial fluid (SF) of osteoarthritis (OA) is a well known and frequent feature (1). However, their role…Abstract Number: 831 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bisphosphonates and Risk of Acute Pseudogout: A Case-Control Study in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)
Background/Purpose: Acute pseudogout is the most dramatic clinical manifestation of calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD). CPPD is most commonly sporadic and age-related but can rarely…Abstract Number: 184 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultrasound Versus X-Rays Versus Synovial Fluid Analysis for the Diagnosis of Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Deposition Disease: Is It CPPD?
Background/Purpose: The diagnosis of calcium pyrophosphate crystal (CPP) deposition disease (CPPD) is mainly based on the synovial fluid analysis and Xrays. US has demonstrated high…Abstract Number: 183 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Reveals Calcific Deposition Arthropathy in Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) have vastly improved the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the diagnosis and management of seronegative…Abstract Number: 1036 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Prevalence of Chondrocalcinosis of the Acromioclavicular Joint On Chest Radiographs and correlation with Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Crystal Deposition Disease
Background/Purpose: Digital imaging combined with picture archiving and communication system (PACS) access allows detailed image retrieval and magnification. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals preferentially deposit…
