Cryoglobulins and cold agglutinins for hand arm vibration syndrome
Occupational Medicine, 2022AbstractBackgroundHand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a condition caused by hand transmitted vibration from the use of hand-held vibrating tools or workpieces. The disease affects the vascular, neurological and musculoskeletal systems. The vascular component of HAVS is a form of secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon. Other causes of disease must be excluded

Occupational hand–arm vibration syndrome in Korea
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2005It is suspected that there is a large number of patients suffering from hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) in Korea. However, no cases have been reported since 1992. This study was conducted to identify HAVS cases and determine the characteristics of the syndrome.In April 2001, the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeong-Nam Province Occupational Disease Surveillance

The Journal of family practice, 1994
The hand-arm vibration syndrome affects workers who perform tasks that generate vibration. Raynaud's phenomenon and sensory impairment of the fingers are the predominant effects. A history of hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure in a patient with these symptoms should alert the physician to the diagnosis.

Hand-arm vibration syndrome: a guide for nurses
Nursing Standard, 1999It is estimated that 1.2 million workers are now exposed to hazardous levels of vibration in their work. In the year 1995-1996, over 3,000 new cases of hand-arm vibration syndrome were assessed by the Department of Social Security (DSS) under the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit Scheme.

Hand function in workers with hand-arm vibration syndrome
Journal of Hand Therapy, 1999Hand-arm vibration syndrome has been specially addressed in the Scandinavian countries in recent years, but the syndrome is still not sufficiently recognized in many countries. The object of this preliminary study was to describe the nature and character of vibration-induced impairment in the hands of exposed workers.

Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome: Clinical Evaluation and Prevention
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1991Increasing recognition by workers that blanching of their fingers may be due to hand-arm vibration exposure from the tools they use at work and their consequent claims for compensation emphasize a need for better clinical evaluation and prevention.

Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome in a Group of U.S. Uranium Miners Exposed to Hand-Arm Vibration
Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 1991Abstract Medical evaluations were conducted in New Mexico on 134 uranium mine workers. Ninety-one of these workers were miners who used jack-leg-type drills on their job at the time of the survey. Engineering evaluations of two jack-leg-type drills and a jack hammer were carried out while four of the miners operated the tools.

A mouse model for hand-arm vibration syndrome
Proceedings of the Second Joint 24th Annual Conference and the Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society] [Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2003Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) occurs in workers who use vibrating hand tools. Symptoms of HAVS include finger paresthesia and numbness, a loss of manual dexterity and grip strength, and vasospasms in the fingers in response to cold. Although the relationship between vibration exposure and HAVS is well-established, it is not clear how vibration ...
