Microvascular abnormalities in Sjögren's syndrome: nailfold capillaroscopy [PDF]
Rheumatology, 1999 To describe microvascular abnormalities by nailfold capillaroscopy in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) with or without Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and those with anticentromere antibodies (ACA).Forty patients with SS (14 without RP, 16 with RP, 10 with ACA), 20 patients with scleroderma (SSc) (10 with limited and 10 with diffuse disease ...

Enhancement of nailfold capillaroscopy images
Proceedings of 2012 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics, 2012Nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) is a non-invasive imaging technique employed to assess the condition of blood capillaries in the nailfold. It is particularly useful for early detection of scleroderma spectrum disorders and evaluation of Raynaud's phenomenon.

Nailfold capillaroscopy in diabetes mellitus
Microvascular Research, 2017Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia states and the development of specific microvascular disorders such as retinopathy and nephropathy. Conventional methods are used to study the vascular compromise of this entity, however, the use of capillaroscopy for the evaluation of capillary microarchitecture is not frequently used ...

Nailfold capillaroscopy microscopy - an interdisciplinary appraisal
Vasa, 2016Abstract. Nailfold capillaroscopy is a method of great diagnostic value in the differential diagnosis of primary versus secondary Raynaud´s phenomenon, of systemic sclerosis versus other so called connective tissue diseases and of additional diagnostic value in other entities.

Nailfold video-capillaroscopy in systemic sclerosis
Zeitschrift f�r Rheumatologie, 2004The Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is the most common and significant clinical condition supporting microvascular analysis as soon as possible. Microvascular involvement is a key feature of RP, and several rheumatic diseases are characterized by the presence of the RP. Nailfold capillary microscopy shows an impressive cost/effectiveness ratio: it is simple,

Diagnostic utility of nailfold capillaroscopy
APLAR Journal of Rheumatology, 2007AbstractAim: To determine the diagnostic utility of qualitative nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) in a clinical setting.Methods: One hundred and sixty‐seven patients, generally with Raynaud's phenomena of uncertain significance, were referred to an experienced operator for NC. NC was performed using low power wide field microscopy.

State of the art on nailfold capillaroscopy in dermatomyositis and polymyositis
Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 2017To provide an overview of the main nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) changes described in dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) and to discuss the current evidence supporting its clinical relevance and applications in daily practice.All relevant literature in the field of NFC and DM and PM published in the last 30 years has been systematically ...

Nailfold capillary microscopy evaluates the structural capillaroscopic characteristics and has been performed since the seventeenth century. In a patient population affected by the phenomenon of Raynaud (RP), its major role lies in pinpointing those patients who will develop systemic sclerosis (SSc) and in reassuring those patients who have (and will ...

Nailfold capillaroscopy: Specific features in Fabry disease
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, 2009Objective: Fabry disease is a rare X-linked disorder caused by deficiency of α-galactosidase A. The metabolic defect results in the progressive accumulation of globotriaosylceramide within vascular cells leading to renal, cardiac and cerebrovascular manifestations.

Digitized nailfold capillaroscopy.
VASA. Zeitschrift fur Gefasskrankheiten, 1994An image processing system was developed to quantify the morphometry of nailfold capillaroscopy. Image acquisition was performed with a macrophotographic technique, and images are digitized using a video camera and an image processing system. After an image segmentation, the microcomputer determines in an interactively defined window, the following ...
