Abstract:Background
To perform a detailed morphological analysis of the inorganic portion of two different clinical presentations of calcium-based deposits retrieved from subjects with SSc and identify a chemical dissolution of these deposits suitable for clinical use.
Methods
Chemical analysis using Fourier Transform IR spectroscopy (‘FTIR’), Raman microscopy, Powder X-Ray Diffraction (‘PXRD’), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (‘TEM’) was undertaken of… Show more
