Effectiveness of therapy with iloprost in hand-arm vibration syndrome [PDF]

Occupational Medicine, 2004
To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of therapy with iloprost in hand-arm vibration syndrome.We describe a clinical case of a male aged 53 years, who was a heavy smoker for 30 years and a mason working with vibrating tools since 1962. He presented with a history of 10 years of attacks of vasospasm, functional impairment and digital ulceration. He was

Unravelling Evolutionary Dynamics of Female Sexual Cannibalism and Male Reproductive Strategies in Spiders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

Sudomotor dysfunction in people with type 1 diabetes with and without clinical peripheral neuropathy: A study from Pune, India

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims It is appreciated that current screening tools for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) often fail to detect early disease. Sudomotor (sweat gland) dysfunction, among the earliest manifestations of DPN, can be measured objectively by the SUDOSCAN® device. We compared SUDOSCAN® with conventional validated screening (Michigan

Clinical assessment of hand-arm vibration syndrome.

Nagoya journal of medical science, 1994
The clinical assessment of patients thought to be suffering from hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) requires the use of multiple vascular and sensory tests. In a family physician's office, Adson's, Allen's and cold water immersion of the hands are the only feasible vascular tests, while the sensory tests have to be limited to assessing impairment of ...

The effect of hand-arm vibration syndrome on quality of life [PDF]

Occupational Medicine, 2014
It is important to determine how hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), a common occupational condition, affects quality of life (QOL).To measure the physical (SF12-P) and mental (SF12-M) components of QOL in workers with HAVS, using the SF12 questionnaire, and to determine the effect of the vascular, sensorineural and musculoskeletal components of HAVS ...

Effectiveness of Whole‐Body Vibration Therapy on Handgrip Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Musculoskeletal Care, Volume 24, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Although whole‐body vibration (WBV) therapy has already demonstrated efficacy in improving lower‐limb muscle strength, it is still unclear whether it has similar potential for improving handgrip strength. Objective To verify the efficacy of WBV on handgrip strength. Methods The search was conducted on September 5, 2025, in PubMed,

The Prevalence and Contributing Factors of Work‐Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in Cardiac Sonographers: A Systematic Review

Sonography, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiac sonographers (CS) are highly susceptible to work‐related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) with over 85% reporting symptoms. To guide targeted prevention efforts, this review investigates the WMSD most frequently experienced by CS and their contributing factors. Methods Studies were eligible if they involved CS, outlined WMSD,

Multiscale Architecture and Mechanics of the Cell Nucleus: Implications for Disease, Bioengineering and Nanomedicine

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Nuclear mechanical properties are inherently scale‐dependent, arising from a hierarchical architecture that spans DNA, chromatin, the nuclear envelope, and condensates. Experimental techniques and theoretical models are integrated into a cohesive multiscale framework linking nanoscale structural features to organelle‐level mechanical behavior.
