Nailfold capillary microscopy in @entity2406 . Comparison with @entity785 and XXXX .

@entity1 @entity2406 @entity455 @entity66 @entity3986 @entity1252 @entity2631 @entity854 @entity785
Nailfold capillary microscopy patterns in 22 @entity1 with @entity2406 ( @entity2406 ) were compared with those of 21 @entity1 with @entity1252 ( @entity1252 ) and 30 @entity1 with @entity785 ( @entity2631 [ @entity2631 ]). Microvascular data were classified blindly as follows: normal, @entity854 , @entity2631 pattern, and @entity1252 pattern, with special attention to the presence of @entity3986 , branched "bushy" capillary formations. Of the 22 @entity1 with @entity2406 , 63.6% had an @entity2631 pattern, 22.7% had an @entity1252 pattern, 13.6% had @entity854 , and 72.7% had bushy capillary formations. Compared with @entity1252 , @entity2406 exhibited significantly greater capillary loss (P less than 0.05), more frequent @entity2631 patterns (P less than 0.001), and more frequent bushy capillaries (P less than 0.001). Compared with @entity2631 @entity1 , @entity2406 @entity1 displayed less frequent @entity2631 patterns (P less than 0.02) and more frequent bushy capillary formations (P less than 0.01). The presence of bushy capillaries was suggestive of @entity2406 . For diagnostic purposes, bushy capillaries displayed 72% sensitivity, 80% specificity, and 87.2% negative predictive value. The quantitative and qualitative expressions of @entity455 were different in @entity2406 and @entity1252 , respectively. This supports the hypothesis that @entity66 is a distinct entity. Nevertheless, there were many resemblances between @entity2406 and @entity2631 , which implies that @entity2406 is possibly a clinical form of @entity2631 .
