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 ...

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 ...

Early and Extensive Degeneration of Sensory Neurons in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Postmortem studies have shown significant degeneration of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). Although PNS involvement accelerates overall ataxia progression, PNS biomarkers for therapeutic trials are lacking and our mechanistic understanding of related clinical manifestations remains ...

The Reflexive Turn in Systems Engineering: A Disciplinary Response to Complexity

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Future of Systems Engineering (FuSE) programme has called for the discipline to evolve as a transdiscipline capable of engaging complex eco‐socio‐technical challenges. Yet the pace of that evolution has been slower than the arguments for it would predict. This article examines why.

Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome Associated with Impact Vibration

Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 1995
The data from 141 hand-arm vibration exposed workers examined for hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) was analyzed in a Cox regression model to determine whether smoking, alcohol, the use of gloves, duration of weighted vibration exposure, and vibration impulsiveness affected the rate of onset of Raynaud's phenomenon.
