Real-world nailfold videocapillaroscopy in a referral centre in north-western Colombia: A real-life cohort

Rev. colomb. reumatol; 30 (1), 2023
Introduction: Nailfold videocapillaroscopy is a non-invasive tool for the assessment of peripheral microcirculation, the main indication is the study of Raynaud's phenomenon, poorly standardized outside of this context. There is no clear information in real-life about the rea-sons for referral, the prese...

Taller de concordancia en la evaluación de imágenes capilaroscópicas

Introducción: la capilaroscopia es un método no invasivo que permite observar la microvasculatura en el área periungueal. Los resultados informados pueden ser altamente variables entre distintos observadores. A lo largo del tiempo surgieron métodos cuantitativos y semicuantitativos para mejorar la r...

Nailfold capillaroscopy and microvascular involvement in Diabetes Mellitus

Objective: to study the relationship between microvascular lesions of Diabetes Mellitus and alterations in the nailfold capillaroscopy. Subjects and Methods: cross-sectional study including 140 individuals (70 with Diabetes Mellitus and 70 controls). Epidemiological and clinical variables were collected ...

Prognostic value of capillaroscopy in organ involvement and identification of subtypes in systemic sclerosis (SS): A systematic literature review

Rev. colomb. reumatol; 27 (supl.1), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Capillaroscopy is an essential tool for the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis. Using this exam as a prognostic factor will allow earlier intervention and probably, delay on disease progression. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of capillaroscopy for the prediction of systemic...

Raynaud's phenomenon, capillaroscopy, and digital ulcers as sentinel events in systemic sclerosis

Rev. colomb. reumatol; 27 (supl.1), 2020
ABSTRACT Raynaud's phenomenon is a sentinel event in systemic sclerosis; it is generally long- lasting, and repeated attacks produce, ultimately, structural consequences and complications, such as digital ulcers. Nailfold videocapillaroscopy is a non-invasive tool that allows assessing accurately these c...

Anti-annexin V autoantibodies and vascular abnormalities in systemic sclerosis: a longitudinal study

Adv Rheumatol; 60 (), 2020
Abstract Background: Annexins are a group of conserved proteins which exert several regulatory functions on various cellular activities. Increased frequency and levels of antibodies against annexin V have already been observed in several autoimmune diseases including systemic sclerosis (SSc), but their ...

Risk of digital ulcers occurrence in systemic sclerosis: a cross-sectional study

Adv Rheumatol; 59 (), 2019
Abstract Background/objective: Digital ulcers (DUs) represent a frequent complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical, serological and capillaroscopy features that are associated with DUs in patients with SSc. Methods: In this bicentric cross-sectional study,...

Nailfold capillaroscopy as a risk factor for pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic lupus erythematosus patients

Adv Rheumatol; 59 (), 2019
Abstract Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study aimed to evaluate clinical and laboratory risk factors associated with PAH in SLE patients. Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study in which patien...

Position article and guidelines 2018 recommendations of the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology for the indication, interpretation and performance of nailfold capillaroscopy

Adv Rheumatol; 59 (), 2019
Abstract Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a reproducible, simple, low-cost, and safe imaging technique used for morphological analysis of nail bed capillaries. It is considered to be extremely useful for the investigation of Raynaud's phenomenon and for the early diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Th...
