Two well-recognized patterns of calcification occur in large- and medium-sized arteries, intimal calcification associated with atherosclerosis and medial calcification described by Mönckeberg.

A new study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham addressing this mechanism has been selected as one of only two feature articles in the April 2026 issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and ...

In this study, we investigated the role of hormones in the pathogenesis of calcifications in ovary and in endometrium and their neoplasms of the gynecologic tract and assessed the anatomic location ...

A new study published suggests that the connection between coronary artery calcification—a measure of calcium buildup in the arteries—and bone mineral density may be driven in part by shared genetic ...

THE association of gout and demonstrable calcification of cartilage has received scanty mention in the medical literature. The present study demonstrates that in a high percentage of patients with ...

Calcium deposits in the uterus lining — known as calcification in the endometrium — can occur alone or with different gynecological conditions. Your overall medical history and current symptoms, if ...
