Human exposure to toxic particles drives various diseases. Examples include gout, an acute arthritis driven by monosodium urate crystals, or MSUc; CPPD disease, another inflammatory joint disease ...

Monosodium urate crystals dissolve and are eliminated from joints and soft tissues as serum uric acid levels drop below its saturating point (400 μmol/l). Time to crystal clearance relates to ...

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 ...

Arthritis is a painful condition that leads to stiffness, joint paint and inflammation – and certain foods could worsen the symptoms ...

Monosodium glutamate, better known as "MSG," is a staple ingredient in Asian cuisine, but it has faced controversy in the United States. Experts shared the latest perspectives.

Objectives The dynamics of monosodium urate (MSU) crystal changes across a range of serum urate concentrations in people with gout are unknown. This study aimed to systematically examine the ...

Gout is an inflammatory rheumatic disease characterized by chronic arthritis resulting from the deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate crystals in the joint tissues. 1 These crystals commonly ...

Then, gout was induced by injecting monosodium urate crystals (MSU) in the ankle joint and in the intra-peritoneal cavity which caused ankle swelling and increased blood uric acid levels. CNPs in ...

False-positive findings were common when dual-energy computed tomography was used for cardiovascular imaging among patients with gout, in order to identify vascular monosodium urate deposits.

Gouty arthritis is caused by hyperuricemia, and it can develop even when the serum urate level is controlled. Methods to recognize and identify symptoms include polarization microscopy, X-ray imaging, ...
