[Incidence and evolution of soft tissues calcifications in patients in periodic hemodialysis (author's transl)].

In a series of 92 patients' in hemodialysis the evolution of periarticular and vascular calcifications has been studied. A correlation exists between the incidence of arterial calcifications and the patients' age, while no direct correlation has been proved to exist with the duration of dialysis. In fact their annual average increase (8.4%) is similar to that of periarticular calcifications (12.2%).

Temporo-mandibular joint changes in renal osteodystrophy.

The radiologic study of temporo-mandibular joints in patients undergoing long-term haemodialysis has led to documentation of osteodystrophic changes in 6 patients: 2 were asymptomatic and 4 had referred to pain. The roentgenologic picture of this unusual abnormally varies from a simple decrease of bone density to resorption of the condylar head.

[Osteosclerosis in the phalanges in sarcoidosis (author's transl)].

Osteosclerosis in the phalanges is a frequent finding in sarcoidosis and its incidence appears higher then that of the osteolytic lesions. Of 19 patients with histological diagnosis of sarcoidosis areas of bone sclerosis in the phalanges were found in 6 cases (31, 5 percent).
