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 • 2020 Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium
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 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
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: 374 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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: 786 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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: 2360 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Correlation Study between Expanded Cardiovascular Risk Prediction Score for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy
Background/Purpose: The most common cause of mortality in RA patients is the cardiovascular disease (CVD), with almost twice the risk for CVD events. Nailfold videocapillaroscopy…Abstract Number: 2667 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association between Two Non-Invasive Methods for the Assessment of Severity of Gastrointestinal Involvement and Malnutrition in Systemic Sclerosis: Self-Reported Questionnaires and Nail Fold Video-Capillaroscopy
Background/Purpose: Gastrointestinal (GI) system involvement is commonly seen in sytemic sclerosis (SSc) up to 90% of the patients during disease duration and one of the…Abstract Number: 2682 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Correlation between Capillaroscopic Patterns of Nailfold Microangiopathy and Three Different Methods to Assess Dermal Thickness in Systemic Sclerosis Patients
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by increase of dermal thickness (DT) and impairment of microvascular system (1). Several studies demonstrate that nailfold capillaroscopy (NVC)…Abstract Number: 686 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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…
