 What is Takayasu Arteritis?
 
What is Takayasu Arteritis?Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare condition characterized by a cascade of inflammatory processes.

 Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition and Joint Problems
 
Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition and Joint ProblemsCalcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPDD) disease is characterized by the accumulation of calcium crystals in the cartilage tissues of the joints. The crystal deposits cause inflammation of the affected joint, and in severe cases it leads to cartilage rupture.
