Does peripheral artery tonometry demonstrate altered endothelial function in children with type 1 diabetes?
Although larger validation studies are required, RH-PAT is a promising non-invasive technique to assess endothelial function in children with T1D. Non-invasive measures of endothelial dysfunction may provide the additional risk stratification data needed to justify more aggressive primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in children with T1D.
Direct visualization of long microvilli via UFP may aid in the distinction of malignant mesothelioma from mesothelial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma before immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies are performed.
