|---|---|
| calcium pyrophosphate | <chemical> Diphosphoric acid, calcium salt. An inorganic pyrophosphate which affects calcium metabolism in mammals. Abnormalities in its metabolism occur in some human diseases, notably hypophosphatasia and pseudogout. Chemical name: Diphosphoric acid, calcium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease | <radiology> Manifestations can occur singly or in any combination, pseudogout, acute crystal-induced synovitis with clinical symptoms analogous to gout, arthropathy, beaklike osteophytes of 2nd, 3rd metacarpal heads, subchondral cysts (especially carpal bones), unusual distribution of disease (radiocarpal/ulnar joint, patellofemoral joint), SLAC - scapholunate advanced collapse, chondrocalcinosis, triangular fibrocartilage, symphysis pubis, menisci of knee, annulus fibrosus of intervertebral disk (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium radioisotopes | Unstable isotopes of calcium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Ca atoms with atomic weights 39, 41, 45, 47, 49, and 50 are radioactive calcium isotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium rigor | Arrest of the heart in the fully contracted state as a result of poisoning with calcium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium saccharate | Calcium d-saccharate;used as an antacid in dyspepsia and flatulence, as an antidote in carbolic acid poisoning, and as a stabiliser for calcium gluconate solution for parenteral administration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium sign | In chest radiography, displacement of the line of the calcified intima of the aorta away from its outer wall, a finding in a small percentage of cases of dissection of blood in the aortic media; the expression "displaced intimal calcification" is preferred to the listed term. See: aortic dissection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium stearate | Used in the preparation of tablets as a lubricant for tablet machinery and to keep powder mixtures flowing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium sulfate | <chemical> It exists in an anhydrous form and in various states of hydration: the hemihydrate is plaster of paris, the dihydrate is gypsum. It is used in building materials, as a desiccant, in dentistry as an impression material, cast, or die, and in medicine for immobilizing casts and as a tablet excipient. Pharmacological action: dental materials, excipient. Chemical name: Sulfuric acid, calcium salt (1:1) (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium sulfite | Used as an intestinal antiseptic, and locally in the treatment of parasitic skin diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium-transporting atpase | <enzyme> An enzyme found in the sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicle membrane. During the relaxation of skeletal muscles and muscle rich in mitochondria, this enzyme catalyses the active transport of calcium into the sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from the sarcoplasm. It requires micromolar concentrations of calcium and utilises mgatp as a substrate. Chemical name: ATP phosphohydrolase (Calcium-transporting) Registry number: EC 3.6.1.38 (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium trisodium pentetate | The calcium trisodium salt of pentetic acid. Synonym: calcium trisodium pentetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium tungstate | A phosphor with a high stopping power for X-rays that was formerly used widely in fluoroscopic screens and intensifying screens for radiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| racaemic calcium pantothenate | <chemistry> A mixture of the calcium salts of the dextrorotatory and levorotatory isomers of pantothenic acid; same uses as calcium pantothenate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vacuolar calcium ATPase | <enzyme> Isolated from saccharomyces cerevisiae; genbank u36603 Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: h(+)-ca(2+)-atpase, vacuolar (26 Jun 1999) |
