When German researchers zoomed in to the nanometer scale on time-lapse images of dissolving crystals, they found a surprise: Dissolution happened in pulses, marked by waves that spread just like ...

WASHINGTON — Different stages of gout treatment may call for different serum urate targets, with certain levels being better for dissolving or preventing monosodium urate crystals, according to data ...

Patients with gout receiving oral ULT showed similar rates of MSU crystal dissolution in the joints and tendons.

Although reducing SUA below the recommended target level (360 µmol/l [6 mg/dl]) will definitively lead to crystal dissolution, time to achieve a full clearance of crystals from joints and soft tissue ...

Virginia Tech geoscientists Patricia Dove and Nizhou Han have demonstrated that crystals dissolve and grow by the same set of analogous 'reversed' mechanisms. Previously, the scientific community had ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A formulation based on defect-generated dissolution stepwaves of the variation of dissolution rate with the degree of undersaturation is ...

Mechanisms of biomineralization—the physiological formation of mineral crystals to build structural tissues such as bone or mollusc shells—provide a framework for interpreting pathological crystal ...

(Nanowerk News) Calcite is one of the most abundant components of the Earth crust, the outer-most layer of the Earth, constituting as the largest carbon reservoir in the global carbon cycle in nature.

When researchers zoomed in to the nanometer scale on time-lapse images of dissolving crystals, they found a surprise: Dissolution happened in pulses, marked by waves that spread just like ripples on a ...

This review has shown that achieving lower SUA levels with therapy is feasible with no clear or unexpected safety concerns arising from a more intensive pharmacologic urate-lowering therapy. This ...
