A research presentation entitled "Increased Nailfold Crossing Capillaries as a Novel Visual Marker of Early Microvascular Damage in Erectile Dysfunction," presented by Dr. Yuki Matsui, Director of the Department of Urology at Hitachi Medical Center, and colleagues, was presented at AUA2026, the American Urological Association Annual Meeting. The abstract was also published in The Journal of Urology Supplement.

In this study, findings in men with ED (erectile dysfunction) suggest that morphological abnormalities of nailfold capillaries, particularly an increase in crossing capillaries, may serve as an early and non-invasive visual marker of systemic microvascular damage.

In this research, the capillary blood flow scope GOKO Bscan-ZD manufactured by GOKO Imaging Devices Co., Ltd. was used.
