Assessing the Health and Functionality of the Microcirculation Using Thermal Imaging
Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.We review the techniques of thermal imaging for assessing the functional consequences of lowered blood flow in the microcirculation that accompanies many chronic, inflammatory diseases. A comparison is made with laser Doppler/speckle methods. ABSTRACT The microcirculation, composed of vessels below 100 μm in diameter, sustains tissue perfusion and ...

Clinical Associations of Anti‐RNPC3 Autoantibodies in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.Objective The RNA‐binding region‐containing protein 3 (RNPC3) protein acts as a molecular bridge, promoting U11/U12 RNP complex formation. In previous reports, patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with anti‐RNPC3 autoantibodies had an increased risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD), severe gastrointestinal (GI) disease, and cancer.

Eosinophilic fasciitis (Shulman's disease): review and comparative evaluation of seven patients. [PDF]
, 2019 OBJECTIVES: Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) was described in 1974 by Shulman as a rare fibrosing connective tissue disease of unknown etiology. An undetermined trigger is thought to lead to the degranulation of eosinophils that interact with fibroblasts and

Capillaroscopy: A Valuable Diagnostic Tool [PDF]
Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas (English Edition), 2019 Capillaroscopy produces in vivo images of skin microcirculation. It is a simple, noninvasive tool for analyzing microvascular abnormalities and, as such, can be used in both adults and children. Capillaroscopy has proven useful in many diseases, but it is of particular value in Raynaud phenomenon and other autoimmune diseases.
