The immunophenotyping of peripheral blood associates with nailfold microvascular changes in patients with systemic sclerosisBackground/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex disease with autoimmunity and…Abstract Number: 2005 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Nailfold Capillaroscopy in Systemic Sclerosis: How Many Fingers Should be Examined to Detect Abnormality?
Background/Purpose: Nailfold capillaroscopy plays an important role in diagnosing systemic sclerosis (SSc), with abnormal nailfold capillary appearance being included in the 2013 ACR/EULAR diagnostic criteria…Abstract Number: 1867 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Abnormal Nailfold Capillaroscopy Pattern Is Common in Patients with Connective Tissue Disease and Is Associated with Pulmonary and Oesophageal Involvement, Even in the Absence of Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: RP is a common symptom of CTD. Nailfold capillary microscopy (NCM) has previously been shown to be associated with disease severity and internal organ…Abstract Number: 2916 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Number of Micro-Haemorrhages and Micro-Thrombosis Detected By Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy Is a Good Predictor of Disease Activity in Systemic Sclerosis: The Validation Study of NEMO Score
Background/Purpose: In a previous study it was demonstrated that, in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) the cumulative number of micro-haemorrhages (MH) and micro-thrombosis (MT) (the…Abstract Number: 1884 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sensitivity to Change of Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy and Relationship with Disease Progression
Background/Purpose: Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is a simple, non-invasive and inexpensive imaging technique that allows a detailed assessment of skin microcirculation. Although NVC has face and…Abstract Number: 3262 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Influence of Immunosuppressive Therapy on Microangiopathy in Systemic Sclerosis As Measured with Nailfoldcapillaroscopy
Background/Purpose: Microangiopathy in systemic sclerosis (SSc), as visualized by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is a dynamic and sequential process1. In time, NVC patterns progress from early,…Abstract Number: 840 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Skin Telangiectasia Identify a Subset of Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Severe Vascular Phenotype
Background/Purpose: Cutaneous Telangiectasia (CT) are common in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients but their input to risk stratify the patients is poorly known. The aims of…Abstract Number: 2147 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Automatically Extracted Quantitative Biomarkers for Assessing Connective Tissue Disease Using Nailfold Capillaroscopy
Background/Purpose Videomicroscopy can capture high-magnification images of nailfold capillaries, allowing non-invasive assessment of microvasculature change indicative of connective tissue disease. Whilst images may be qualitatively…Abstract Number: 1692 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Additive Value of Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy Patterns to Disease-Specific Autoantibodies in Discrimination of Patients with Systemic Sclerosis at Risk for Severe Organ Involvement
Background/Purpose: Severe nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) patterns in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are associated with a high risk of organ involvement. SSc-specific autoantibodies seem to…Abstract Number: 1689 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Microhaemorrages and Giant Capillaries in Nailfold Videocapillariscopies Are Able to Accurately Predict Disease Activity Level in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterized by Raynaud’s phenomenon, skin fibrosis and involvement of internal organs such as lung, heart, bowel,…
