Chondrocalcinosis Articularis: Section II. Genetic Study

Chondrocalcinosis articularis Section L Clinical and radiological study.

During the past 7 years we have had the opportunity of studying 27 cases of a condition characterized by multiple calcification of hyaline and fibrous cartilage both of the joints and of the intervertebral disks.* We present in this paper a detailed nosographical analysis of this clinical entity which we have named articular chondrocalcinosis (AC). Up to 1955, when we saw our first cases, we fo...

Destructive arthropathy in chondrocalcinosis articularis.

It is now well recognized that idiopathic chondrocalcinosis articularis, as well as being associated with acute episodes of pyrophosphate arthropathy, may lead to premature degenerative changes in the joints involved. Some workers have also made occasional reference to the presence of juxta-articular osteolytic lesions (McCarty, Kohn, and Faires, 1962; Currey, 1970.) More recently there have be...

Narcissistic personality disorder in DSM-5 Section II and Section III: The study of alternative model

Abstract Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and lack of empathy that people because of belief to being special and unique, interpersonal problems and empathy are faced. The present paper is studying the conceptualization and diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder in DSM-5 main Section (Section II) and Alternative model (S...

Genetic testing for haemochromatosis in patients with chondrocalcinosis.

Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) is the most common lethal monogenic human disease, affecting roughly 1 in 300 white northern Europeans. Homozygosity for the C282Y polymorphism within the HFE gene causes more than 80% of cases, with compound heterozygosity of the C282Y and H63D polymorphism also increasing susceptibility to disease. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of the C2...
