Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a parathyroid hormone resistance condition, characterised by biochemical findings of hypocalcaemia or normocalcaemia with inappropriately elevated parathyroid hormone level and usually with a typical osteodystrophy feature. We report an infant with
OBJECTIVE
To clarify the molecular defect for the clinical finding of congenital hypothyroidism combined with the manifestation of calcinosis cutis in infancy.
METHODS
The male patient presented with moderately elevated blood thyrotropin levels at neonatal screening combined with slightly decreased
Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is characterized by a symptom complex including short stature, brachymetacarpia, obesity, round facies, cutaneous osteomas, and mental retardation. AHO is caused by mutations in the GNAS-gene localized on chromosome 20 encoding for Gsalpha protein, a signal
Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon type of extraosseous calcification characterized by large rubbery or cystic masses containing calcium-phosphate deposits. The condition prevails in the periarticular tissue with preservation of osteoarticular structures. Elevated calcium-phosphorus products and
Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is a syndrome caused by inactivating mutations in the GNAS (guanine nucleotide-binding protein, alpha-stimulating) gene. Patients with AHO have short stature, obesity, brachydactyly and subcutaneous calcifications. AHO can be associated with
Degenerative aortic stenosis (DAS) is the most frequently diagnosed heart valve disease in Europe and North America. DAS is a chronic progressive disease which resembles development of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction, lipid infiltration, calcification and ossification are evidenced in both
OBJECTIVE
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hand is common in elderly patients. The aim of this study was to characterize OA frequency, severity, and distribution and to trace interrelationships between these findings and the demographic, occupational, and medical data from elderly Jewish nonrheumatologic

A 38 years old obese, diabetic woman, with high blood pressure, used to eat frequently pork meat and its products; she presented with abnormal genital bleeding, abdominal pain,
Calcinosis has long been associated with autoimmune disease and has a distinctive profile in scleroderma, dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and overlap syndromes. However, there have also been a number of case studies of calcific uremic arteriolopathy, or calciphylaxis, described within
OBJECTIVE
To present a case of conservatively managed calcific trochanteric bursitis and discuss differential diagnosis and treatment alternatives.
METHODS
A 53-yr-old obese female presented with acute severe lateral hip and posterolateral thigh pain. Examination findings were consistent with
Among the cutaneous manifestations of hyperparathyroidism, cases of panniculitis with calcification of the adipose tissue and necrosis of the skin have recently been reported, the mechanism incriminated being calciphylaxis, as defined by Selye on the basis of experiments. Experimental calciphylaxis
BACKGROUND
Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) consists of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) that allows for oncologically safe breast conservation and breast remodeling, thus reducing postoperative deformities. The purpose of the present study was to identify factors determining the risk of re-excision and
OBJECTIVE
Mammography is the cornerstone of breast cancer (BC) evaluation. This report investigates whether breast density (BD) and mammographic features of the tumor can provide information on both BC susceptibility to chemotherapy and other clinicopathologic features of locally advanced BC (LA
Physicians in Egypt and other Arab and developing countries still have to deal on a daily basis with large numbers of patients with advanced stages of breast cancer at presentation. Efforts at measuring the magnitude of the breast cancer issues, epidemiology, and awareness, are now moving further in
