Dystrophic EB is caused by mutations in genes for type VII collagen, the protein contained in the fibers anchoring the epidermis to the deeper layers of the skin
Iliac artery calcification is when there are calcium deposits forming. They form inside the artery and sometimes cause blockages. These calcifications form deposits in arteries.
focal calcification
Vascular calcifications in the foot refer to the abnormal accumulation of calcium within the blood vessels in the foot. This can lead to conditions such as peripheral arterial disease, arterial calcification, or calcific tendinitis. These calcifications can impair blood flow to the foot, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, or difficulty walking.

Dystrophic lakes, characterized by high levels of organic matter and low light penetration, can still support hardy fish species such as yellow perch and northern pike. These species have adapted to low-oxygen environments and can thrive in the acidic waters typical of dystrophic conditions. While biodiversity may be limited, these resilient species find ways to survive and reproduce in such challenging habitats.
Not necessarily, Most women have calcifications (calcium) in their breast tissue. It is important that when you have a mammogram you also have any prior images with you so the radiologist (X ray Doctor) can compare them to see if the calcifications were present on your prior exam or if they are new. Some calcifications require further imaging if they look questionable.
The incidence is 50 individuals per million live births.
Hepatic parenchymal calcifications refer to the presence of calcium deposits within the liver tissue. These calcifications can be detected through imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds. They are often associated with chronic conditions such as liver cirrhosis, granulomatous diseases, or previous infections. The presence of hepatic parenchymal calcifications may indicate underlying liver pathology and may require further evaluation by a healthcare provider.
Indeterminate calcifications with a clustered distribution on mammogram results indicate areas where calcium deposits are present but cannot be definitively classified as benign or malignant. These calcifications are often grouped together and may require further investigation, such as additional imaging or a biopsy, to determine their significance. The term "indeterminate" suggests that the findings are unclear, necessitating closer evaluation to rule out any potential abnormalities.
Dystrophic calcification of the metatarsal joint is a condition where calcium deposits form in the joint due to tissue damage or inflammation. This can cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the joint. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, rest, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery to remove the calcium deposits.
