Clonidine in the treatment of vibration-induced white fingers.
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 1982 The effect of clonidine, a centrally acting drug diminishing the sympathetic activity of peripheral nerves, was examined in a double-blind study of 60 forest workers with vibration-induced white fingers. Clonidine was administered in daily doses of 0.450 mg or 0.100 mg during 30 d. The results were evaluated from a self-administered questionnaire.

Analysis of Various Factors Affecting Vibration-induced White Finger.
INDUSTRIAL HEALTH, 1993 Forty-one stone quarriers were studied with regard to various factors affecting vibration-induced white finger (VWF), i. e., age, total operating time (TOT), body mass index (BMI), smoking, drinking, past history of diseases and sensitivity to cold in childhood. Subjects were asked about these factors by interview according to a questionnaire.

Finger thermometry in the assessment of subjects with vibration-induced white finger.
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 1987 The measurement of finger skin temperature (FST) is one of the most commonly used methods for evaluating the response of the digital vessels to cold stimulation. In well-controlled experiments a significant correlation has been observed between FST and digital blood flow over a wide range of water temperatures. On the contrary, FST in air is considered

Vibration-induced White Finger and Auditory Susceptibility to Noise Exposure
The Kurume Medical Journal, 1990 It is well known that there are wide individual variations in the susceptibility of human hearing to noise exposure. The hearing of male forest workers were examined with vibration-induced white finger (VWF) as an indicator of noise susceptibility of hearing. The results were as follows: 1.

Pain Threshold in Workers with Vibration Induced White Finger
Nippon Eiseigaku Zasshi (Japanese Journal of Hygiene), 1975 In vibration disease there is the peripheral nerve disturbances (sensory disturbances) of fingers. To detect the sensory disturbances the vibratory sense threshold and the pain threshold and so on have been measured.This paper discribes observations on the change of the pain threshold of the finger before and after cold exposure i.e., immersion of the ...

Prognosis of vibration induced white finger: a follow up study. [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1995 OBJECTIVES--To follow up 102 patients with vibration induced white finger (VWF). METHODS--102 subjects with VWF were reexamined one to 13 years after the condition had first been diagnosed. Information about symptoms, occupation, vibration exposure, smoking habits, age, and the prevalence of other diseases was present in the medical records from the ...

Prevalence of vibration-induced white finger in fluorspar mines in Weardale. [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1978 A combined epidemiological and clinical study of vibration-induced white finger (VWF) was carried out involving 115 men in four fluorspar mines. The overall prevalence of VWF was found to be 50% among 42 vibration-exposed subjects, while that of constitutional white finger (CWF) was 5-6% in all men studied. The VWF latent interval was 1-19 years with a
