Analysis of the Dynamics of Clinical Parameters and Serum Angiogenic Factors in Systemic Sclerosis Patients Undergoing Tocilizumab Treatment

open access: yesExperimental Dermatology, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study demonstrates that tocilizumab (TCZ) treatment promotes microvascular recovery in systemic sclerosis (SSc), as evidenced by increased capillary density and that this improvement in vasculopathy is closely associated with enhanced pulmonary function.

Rethinking Strategies for a Pharmaceutical Approach to Pain Related to Connective Tissue–Related Raynaud Phenomenon in the United States

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 1, Page 106-112, January 2026.
Objective There are no US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies for Raynaud phenomenon (RP) in the United States. Clinical trials have been challenged by study design. Important advances in RP patient‐reported outcome measures and mechanistic quantification allow RP‐related pain characterization.

Nailfold Capillaroscopy in Buerger’s Disease: An Useful Tool?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Rheumatology, 2014
Abstract Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO, or Buerger’s disease) is a rare inflammatory vasculitis that commonly involves small and medium-sized arteries of the extremities of tobacco smokers between the ages of 25 and 50 years. Although the diagnosis is based on the clinical picture and angiographic findings, we studied the microvascular involvement ...

Pembrolizumab‐Induced Morphea in a Patient With Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

open access: yesCase Reports in Urology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab, are increasingly used in high‐grade urothelial carcinomas. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are known to cause immune‐related adverse events (irAEs), often involving the skin. Case Presentation Reported is a 59‐year‐old woman with metastatic high‐grade urothelial carcinoma of the right renal

A Case of Critical Digit Ischemia in a Patient With Suspected Seronegative Scleroderma Diagnosed via Nailfold Capillaroscopy

open access: yesCase Reports in Rheumatology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) can manifest with advanced symptoms of ischemic vasculopathy, including digital ulcer development. These ulcerations can be disabling and detrimental to a patient’s quality of life, so prompt diagnosis, differentiation from other vascular etiologies, and treatment are important to help salvage this tissue.

Nailfold capillaroscopy in 430 patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

open access: yesCaspian journal of internal medicine, 2017
Microvascular changes are one of the first obvious steps in numerous inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Nailfold video capillaroscopy (NFC) is an easy, reliable and safe method for evaluating peripheral microangiopathy. The objective of this study was to examine nailfold microcirculation in RA patients, assess morphological and ...
