Can mandibular depiction be improved by changing the thickness of double-oblique computed tomography images?
We concluded that depiction of the superior wall of the mandibular canal cannot be improved by changing the thickness of images.
Hepatic ABCC6-mediated ATP release is the main source of circulating PPi, revealing an unanticipated role of the liver in systemic PPi homeostasis. Patients with PXE have a strongly reduced plasma PPi level, explaining their mineralization disorder. Our results indicate that systemic PPi is relatively stable and that PXE, generalized arterial calcification of infancy, and other ectopic mineralization disorders could be treated with PPi supplementation therapy.
