Vibration-induced white finger in dockyard employees [PDF]
, 1992 Vibration-induced white finger (VWF) is a vascular condition associated with occupational exposure to hand-transmitted vibration. The fingers are prone to intermittent blanching attacks which may be triggered by cold conditions and are usually accompanied by numbness and tingling or pain.

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

A prospective cohort study of exposure-response relationship for vibration-induced white finger
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2009 Objectives:To investigate prospectively the relation between vibration-induced white finger (VWF) and measures of cumulative (lifetime) exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV).Methods:Two hundred and forty-nine HTV workers and 138 control men of the same companies participated in a 3-year follow-up study. The diagnosis of VWF (Raynaud’s phenomenon

The Role of Leukocytes in the Pathogenesis of Vibration-Induced White Finger
Angiology, 1998Vibration white finger (VWF) is an occupational disorder associated with long-term exposure to hand-transmitted vibration. The condition exhibits features of secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. The etiology is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the role of leukocyte rheology in the pathogenesis of VWF.

Frequency Weighting for Vibration-induced White Finger Compatible with Exposure-response Models
Industrial Health, 2012 An analysis has been performed to derive a frequency weighting for the development of vibration-induced white finger (VWF). It employs a model to compare health risks for pairs of population groups that are selected to have similar health outcomes from ...

Physical Characteristics of Vibration in Relation to Vibration-Induced White Finger
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1990Predicted and observed prevalences and latency periods of vibration-induced white finger (VWF) were examined among workers exposed to hand-arm vibration. The different physical characteristics of vibration--spectra and impulsiveness--were measured. The following groups of workers were included in the study: forest workers (n = 199), pedestal grinders ...

Rheological and immunological findings in dockers with vibration-induced white fingers
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1992The aim of the present study was to characterize rheological and immunological features involved in the pathogenesis of vibration-induced white fingers (VWF). Plasma viscosity, at two shear rates (580 s-1 and 1164 s-1), levels of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgA), circulating immune complexes, rheumatoid factor, antinuclear antibodies, fibronectin ...
