Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy Findings and Associations with Organ Involvement in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Background/Purpose: Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by Raynaud’s phenomenon, positivity of antibodies targeting the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle…Abstract Number: 044 • Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium 2020
Nailing Down Nailfold Capillaroscopy Practices: A Survey of Pediatric Rheumatologists Within the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Network
Background/Purpose: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy and rash. The Bohan-Peter criteria for dermatomyositis are not ideal. There is…Abstract Number: 094 • Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium 2020
A Good Inter- and Intra-observer Reliability of Subtypes in Nailfold Capillary Micro-haemorrhages in Childhood-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: In previous studies, micro-haemorrhages have often been observed in nailfold capillaroscopy in SLE.1 The interpretation of this finding is still a topic of research.…Abstract Number: 1645 • ACR/ARP Annual Meeting 2019
Comparison of Automated Capture and Analysis System of Sublingual Microvessels and Nailfold Videocapillarscopy for Microvascular Assessment in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Similar to nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC), automated capture and analysis of sublingual microvessel segments (intravital microscopy) can define vasculopathy, and distinguish systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients…Abstract Number: 786 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2018
Comparison of Nailfold Microvascular Damage in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease Versus Systemic Sclerosis Patients during a Three Year Follow-up
Background/Purpose: In systemic sclerosis (SSc), capillary abnormalities progress in a clearly defined sequence called the "scleroderma patterns" (Early, Active, Late) (1-3). On the contrary, characteristic…Abstract Number: 1735 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2018
Diagnostic Accuracy of MR Angiography in a Cohort with Systemic Sclerosis Compared to Other Rheumatic Diseases with Acral Hypoperfusion
Background/Purpose: Vasculopathy is a major feature of systemic sclerosis (SSc). It leads to intimal proliferation and adventitial fibrosis of small and large arterial blood vessels.…Abstract Number: 2689 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2018
Association between Small Vessel Disease and Arterial Stiffness in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Microangiopathy predominates in the pathophysiology of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). However, large vessel involvement leading to higher risk for cardiovascular disease in SSc remains unclear.…Abstract Number: 374 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2018
Nailfold Microangiopathy in Dermatomyositis and Systemic Sclerosis: What Is Different?
Background/Purpose: Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is a non invasive and useful method to assess peripheral microvascular status and evaluate patients with connective tissue diseases (1). Microvascular…Abstract Number: 686 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
Endothelial Dysfunction in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients without Cardiovascular events and Risk Factors: Correlation with Microvascular Alterations and angiogenic t Cells
Background/Purpose: early identification of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients is mandatory to reduce morbidity and mortality. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is…Abstract Number: 1172 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
Utility of Interstitial Pneumonia with Autoimmune Features (IPAF) Proposed Criteria in the Classification of Patients with CTD-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease in a Single Centre
Background/Purpose: The term interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) has recently been proposed to identify those patients with ILD and clinical and/or serological autoimmune manifestations…Abstract Number: 1276 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
Nail Fold Capillary Changes Are Associated with Pulmonary, but Not with Cardiac Involvement in Juvenile Dermatomyositis
Background/Purpose: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare autoimmune disease of unknown origin, characterised primarily by cutaneous rashes and symmetrical weakness of the proximal skeletal muscles.…Abstract Number: 1681 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
An Evaluation of Two Novel Techniques Utilising a Smartphone Digital Camera in the Assessment of Nailfold Capillaries in Suspected Scleroderma-Spectrum Disorders: A Single-Center Cross-Sectional Study
Background/Purpose: Nailfold capillaroscopy is a non-invasive, sensitive and specific technique used in the diagnosis of scleroderma-spectrum disorders. Abnormalities predict progression from Raynauds phenomenon to connective…Abstract Number: 2004 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
Simplified Assessment in Capillaroscopy
Background/Purpose: Nailfold Capillaroscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique designed to evaluate small vessels of the microcirculation. The most important indication for capillaroscopy is Raynaud’s phenomenon.…Abstract Number: 2007 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
Disturbances of the Acral Perfusion Detected By Fluorescence Optical Imaging Are Associated with the Development of Ischemic Complications in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a condition causing impaired microcirculation with the risk of ischemic complications such as digital ulcers and pitting scars (DU/PS). Fluorescence…Abstract Number: 2096 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
Nailfold Capillaroscopy Is an Opportunity for Telerheumatology
Background/Purpose: The 2013 classification criteria for systemic sclerosis (SSc) provide 2 points (towards a 9 point diagnosis) for patients who have abnormal capillaroscopy. In the…
