Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

Microvascular Abnormalities in Adolescents With Anorexia Nervosa: Nailfold Video Capillaroscopic Evidence at Acute and Remission States

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Chronic malnutrition, hypothermia, and hormonal imbalance in anorexia nervosa (AN) may impair capillary structure and perfusion. This study aimed to describe the nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) findings in adolescents with AN and atypical AN (AAN), to assess their association with Raynaud's phenomenon (RP), and evaluate ...

Nailfold capillary phenotypes distinguish juvenile myositis subtypes and associate with disease activity

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Nailfold capillaroscopy is a non‐invasive imaging tool that can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of juvenile myositis. Branched nailfold capillary morphology is more common in juvenile myositis patients, particularly those positive for TIF1γ+ autoantibodies. Juvenile myositis patients with more active disease demonstrate increased microhaemorrhages,
