Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Microangiopathy is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications. Nail fold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is an easy non-invasive tool of microvasculature assessment. This study compares the NVC changes in adolescents with Type1 diabetes (T1D) to healthy controls and correlates them to diabetic vascular complications. METHODS: Hundred thirty-five adolescents with T1D (disease duration 5 years) were compared to 135 matched controls. Diabetes duration, insulin therapy, fundus, and Toronto clinical scoring system (TCSS) were assessed. Fasting lipids, fraction-C of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR), nerve conduction velocity, and NVC were performed. RESULTS: NVC changes were found in 120 adolescents with T1D (88.8%). These changes were significantly higher in adolescents with T1D than controls (p < .001). Significant positive relation was found between NVC changes and TCSS (p = .006), diabetes duration (p = .001), HbA1C (0.008), cholesterol (p = .011), LDL (0.016), UACR (p < .001), and nerve conduction velocity (p < .001). Multivariate logistic regression study revealed that diabetic nephropathy and neuropathy were independently associated with NVC changes (p < .001 and p = .007, respectively). CONCLUSION: Adolescents with T1D have significantly higher NVC changes than controls. These changes were more evident in those having vascular complications than those without. Thus, NVC can be a potential non-invasive tool for early assessment and follow-up of the microvasculature among adolescents with T1D.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
