ABSTRACT: Many research results have been reported on the effect of additives on crystal growth rate, but there are few examples comparing multiple crystal growth surfaces, and quantitative data is ...

Hyperuricaemia and monosodium urate crystal formation. Conditions which increase uric acid levels in the body (hyperuricaemia), such as increased intake or production of purines, as well as impaired ...

There was 96% accuracy in the classification of calcium pyrophosphate crystals using the 2023 ACR/EULAR CPPD classification criteria (95% CI, 92.3-98.3), and 92.5% accuracy with monosodium urate ...

MSG crystals are elongated in shape, as opposed to the more cubic table salt crystals. Namning/Shutterstock. Despite decades of bad press and concern, MSG is considered safe to consume in the ...

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 ...

Tell students that they will compare the solubility of four different household crystals— salt (sodium chloride), Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), MSG (monosodium glutamate), and sugar (sucrose).

The following is a summary of "Unraveling the pathological biomineralization of monosodium urate crystals in gout patients" published in the July 2024 issue of Communications Biology by Navarro et al.
