CAPILLAROSCOPY PARAMETERS OF THE NAILFOLD MICROCIRCULATION (REVIEW) [PDF]

Сибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2018
Capillaroscopy is simple, non-invasive, safe, and informative technique which provides vital real-time assessment of microvascular structure in various systemic disorders. Major capillaroscopy parameters are capillary density (the number of capillaries in a 1 mm length of the distal row of each finger or toe), capillary width and length, arterial and ...

Nailfold capillary patterns correlate with age, gender, lifestyle habits, and fingertip temperature.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Nailfold capillaroscopy is a simple and noninvasive imaging tool to visualize the pattern of capillaries. Microvascular abnormalities have been previously observed in autoimmune disease such as systemic sclerosis and diabetes.

CAPILLAROSCOPY – A VALUABLE TOOL FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF VASCULAR IMPAIRMENT IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Rheumatology, 2016
Vascular injury is the main change the pathogenesis of SSc and occurs earlier, before the appearance of fibrosis. The new scleroderma 2013 criteria increased diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, by including capillaroscopic changes, besides the ...

Microvascular abnormalities in capillaroscopy correlate with higher serum IL-18 and sE-selectin levels in patients with type 1 diabetes complicated by microangiopathy

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2011
Microvascular abnormalities are one of the most important causes of persistent diabetic complications. The aim of this study was to compare microvascular changes examined by nailfold capillaroscopy with serum concentrations of soluble E-selectin (sE ...

Quantitative T2* Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Iron Detection in Soft Tissue of the Fingers

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 6, June 2026.
T2* MRI was evaluated for detecting iron in soft tissues of the fingers. After visual inspection of dual‐colored maps, multiple regions of interest were placed in the soft tissues at areas that indicated increased susceptibility. Lower T2* values, indicative of iron deposition, were detected in patients with microvasculopathy (right panel) but not in ...

Assessment of the Relationship between Diabetic Retinopathy and Nailfold Capillaries in Type 2 Diabetics with a Noninvasive Method: Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2016
Background and Objectives. Nailfold capillaroscopy is an easy and noninvasive technique used to investigate dermal microvasculature. Traditional investigations of vascularity do not detect changes until they are well-established in type 2 diabetics.

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 ...

Nailfold capillaroscopy: relevance to the practice of rheumatology

Revista Brasileira de Reumatologia (English Edition), 2015
Nailfold capillaroscopy is a simple, low-cost method, that is extremely important in the evaluation of patients with Raynaud's phenomenon and of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) spectrum diseases. Besides its importance for the early diagnosis of SSc, nailfold capillaroscopy is a useful tool to identify scleroderma patients with high risk for ...
