Definition: CPPD (calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease) is a type of arthritis caused by deposits of calcium phosphate crystals in the joints. Calcium deposits found in CPPD can trigger inflammatory arthritis and joint pain. Risk of a CPPD attack greatly increases with age.

Short-term and long-term consequences if CPP is left untreated1,2. If CPP is left untreated, a child can continue to have pubertal changes as a result. That’s why it’s so important to talk with your child’s physician as soon as you become concerned about the early signs of puberty you’re seeing. Shorter adult height1-3.

Continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP ) uses a machine to help a person who has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) breathe more easily during sleep. A CPAP machine increases air pressure in your throat so that your airway doesn't collapse when you breathe in. When you use CPAP, your bed partner may sleep better too.

Definition: CPPD (calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease) is a type of arthritis caused by deposits of calcium phosphate crystals in the joints. CPPD is known by other names including: pseudogout (still commonly used) calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease.

What is CPPD? CPPD is a type of arthritis that, as the old name of pseudogout suggests, can cause symptoms similar to gout. Yet, in CPPD, a different type of crystal, called calcium pyrophosphate, triggers the reaction.

high ICP. is defined as a pressure 15 mm Hg. This increased pressure may be due to an increase in any of the 3 above components. **Death can occur if ICP is sustained at 30 mm Hg. for any period of time.** We can, and do have quite high, but transient increases in our ICP related to sneezing, coughing or bearing down.

Intracranial pressure. Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure inside the skull and thus in the brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). ICP is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and, at rest, is normally 7–15 mmHg for a supine adult.

Intracranial hypertension, commonly abbreviated IH, IICP or raised ICP, is elevation of the pressure in the cranium. ICP is normally 7–15 mm Hg; at 20–25 mm Hg, the upper limit of normal, treatment to reduce ICP may be needed.

The CPAP machine will have one of the following: 1  A mask that covers your nose and mouth. 2  A mask that covers your nose only-called nasal continuous positive airway pressure, or NCPAP (this type of mask is most common). 3  Prongs that fit into your nose.

The risk of CPPD greatly increases with age, but it can occur in young people, too. Proper diagnosis depends on detecting calcium pyrophosphate crystals in the fluid of an affected joint. CPPD may be hard to diagnose because the joint pain and other symptoms can mimic gout and other types of arthritis.
