Is Vibration-Induced White finger A Reversible Syndrome If Vibration Is Stopped?
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1996The purpose of the study was to investigate if vibration-induced white finger may be a reversible symptom after cessation of vibration exposure. Fifty-nine welders, previously employed by a ship building company and who had shown various levels of vibration-induced vasospastic symptoms in the hand were interviewed 5 to 6 years after closure of the ...

Circulating Adhesion Molecules in Patients with Vibration-Induced White Finger
Angiology, 2000We investigated whether a relationship existed between soluble adhesion molecules and vascular damage from vibration-induced white finger. Thirty-five men exposed to vibration and 40 healthy control subjects were examined. Concentrations of soluble E-selectin intercellular adhesion molecules, and vascular cell adhesion molecules in serum were measured ...

Some pathophysiological aspects of vibration-induced white finger
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1986The level of sympathetic nervous activity was assessed by evaluating cardiovascular responses to a cold test in 63 vibration-exposed workers (50 subjects without vibration white finger (VWF) and 13 subjects at stages 1 and 2 of VWF) and in 41 controls.

Blood biomarkers for vibration‐induced white fingers. A case‐comparison study
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2020AbstractBackgroundVibration induced white fingers (VWF) is one form of secondary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP).MethodsVibration exposed workers with RP and vibration exposed controls without RP participated. Blood samples were collected before and after cold challenge exposure (COP).

Factors modifying the local arterial hyperresponsiveness of vibration-induced white finger
Cardiovascular Research, 1983The extent and duration of the vibration-induced hyperresponsiveness of arterial smooth muscle to noradrenaline increased as the period of vibratory stimulation became longer. Division of a fixed stimulation time into a few shorter units interposed by intermissions decreased the extent and duration of the hyperresponsiveness.

Longitudinal study on factors related to the course of vibration-induced white finger
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1997Follow-up surveys were conducted in 1982 and 1988 to investigate factors affecting the course of vibration-induced white finger (VWF). Subjects were 353 patients, aged 40 to 70 at the start of the 1982 survey, who were receiving treatment for hand-arm vibration syndrome.

Risk of hearing loss among workers with vibration‐induced white fingers
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2014BackgroundWe examined the risk of hearing loss for workers who use hand‐held vibrating tools with vibration‐induced white fingers (VWF) compared to workers without VWF.MethodsData on 184 participants from a 21‐year cohort were gathered with questionnaires and measurements.

Method for predicting the development of vibration-induced white finger
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1980Habitually exposing the hands to vibrations may lead to recurring episodes of finger blanching and numbness, with reduction in manual dexterity, tactile sensitivity, and damage to soft tissue occurring in severe cases. By systematically analysing retrospective studies of workers occupationally exposed to vibration, it can be shown that the duration of ...

Cardiovascular responses to autonomic stimuli in workers with vibration-induced white finger
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1989Cardiovascular responses to autonomic stimulation were assessed in 11 grinding operators affected with vibration-induced white finger (VWF) and in 11 comparable healthy controls by measuring blood pressures, heart rate and systolic time intervals (STI) during a hand-grip test, an arithmetic test and an orthostatic test. Digital circulatory function was

Experience on the reversibility of the vibration-induced white finger disease.
Central European journal of public health, 1997In connection with medical appraisements of the occupational disease No. 2104 "Vibration-induced vasospastic disease" 240 patients could be examined a first time, 94 of them a second time, 42 patients a third time and 11 patients a forth time. The interval between examinations was 2, 4 or 6 years respectively.
