Abstract
FMD was significantly reduced in patients with SSc compared to healthy subjects [median 8.0% (3.0%-9.0%) vs 15.0% (12.0%-16.0%), respectively; p < 0.0001]. Patients with an early pattern of microangiopathy showed reduced FMD values compared to controls (p = 0.0001). FMD was significantly reduced in...

FBP was significantly lower in patients with SSc (p < 0.05) compared to controls. Heating of the LDF probe at 36 degrees C induced a significant increase of FBP in all subjects (p < 0.001), but the slope of variation was significantly lower in patients with SSc compared to controls (p < 0.05). Patie...

Abstract
The diagnosis of onychodystrophy has increased in dermatology consultation. This could be due to its esthetic effect, pain or disability, physician awareness for detecting the disease in the context of dermatologic or systemic diseases, or a greater incidence. One of the first differential diagnoses...

Abstract
Exposure of fingernails and toenails to ionizing radiation creates radicals that are stable over a relatively long period (days to weeks) and characterized by an isotropic EPR signal at g = 2.003 (so-called radiation-induced signal, RIS). This signal in readily obtained fingernail parings has the po...
