Sex-related Differences in Systemic Sclerosis: A Multicenter Cross-sectional Study From the National Registry of the Italian Society for Rheumatology

Rossella De Angelis et al.

Summary: This study further confirms the presence of sex differences in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Male patients showed more severe cutaneous, peripheral vascular, and cardiopulmonary involvement, while female patients had a higher prevalence of sicca syndrome and a specific autoantibody profile.

Nailfold videocapillaroscopy: a novel possible surrogate marker for the evaluation of peripheral microangiopathy in pulmonary arterial hypertension

A. Arvanitaki et al.

Summary: Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) changes in systemic sclerosis (SSc) are correlated with vascular complications, such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), suggesting a potential link between peripheral and internal organ vasculopathy. Studies have shown a possible relationship between NVC findings and functional, echocardiographic, and haemodynamic markers, emphasizing the need for well-designed prospective trials to validate NVC as a biomarker in the management of PAH.

Insights into the knowledge of complex diseases: Environmental infectious/ toxic agents as potential etiopathogenetic factors of systemic sclerosis

Clodoveo Ferri et al.

Summary: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease with characteristics of immune system alterations, diffuse microangiopathy, and fibrosis. The exact etiology of SSc is unclear, but it may involve multiple genetic and environmental factors. Viruses like HCMV, HHV-6, B19V, and retroviruses, as well as chemical/occupational agents, have been proposed as potential causative agents. Further research on the etiopathogenesis of SSc may provide insights into diseases characterized by diffuse microangiopathy or altered fibrogenesis.

Change of the microvascularization in systemic sclerosis, a matter of air

J. M. J. Lemmers et al.

Summary: This review discusses microvascular alterations in systemic sclerosis, particularly focusing on the effect of vasoactive and immunomodulation therapy on these vascular changes. The influence of pulmonal pathology on capillaroscopic pattern is also examined, with the potential for NCM to be used as a biomarker of treatment discussed.

Nailfold Capillaroscopy in Systemic Sclerosis Patients with and without Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Ioanna Minopoulou et al.

Summary: In patients with systemic sclerosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension is a leading cause of mortality. Analysis of nailfold capillaroscopy revealed reduced capillary density and increased capillary loop width in SSc-PAH patients compared to those without PAH. Additionally, SSc-PAH patients were more likely to exhibit an active or late scleroderma pattern.

The Relationship between Pulmonary Damage and Peripheral Vascular Manifestations in Systemic Sclerosis Patients

Barbara Ruaro et al.

Summary: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by generalized vasculopathy and tissue fibrosis. Early evaluation and follow-up of patients for organ involvement is crucial to prevent poor prognosis and multi-organ damage. Pulmonary disease in SSc mainly involves interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension, with nailfold videocapillaroscopy being a useful tool for evaluating microvascular damage and predicting internal organ involvement.
