Vibration Exposure, Vibration-Induced White Finger and Digital Arterial Tone in Chain Saw Operators

, 1991
In a group of 65 Italian forestry operators using chain saws, the overall prevalence of vibration-induced white finger (VWF) was found to be 29.2%. The occurrence of VWF was higher in the chain sawyers who had operated non-antivibration (non-A/V) as ...

A Dual‐Bioresponsive and Programmable Microneedle Matrix as a Bioinspired Coupler for Orchestrating Diabetic Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This project developed a smart bandage‐like patch (a microneedle array) for repairing diabetic bone damage. It intelligently senses signals from infection and inflammation, then releases its medicines in a specific, timed sequence: first an antibacterial agent, then an anti‐inflammatory agent, and finally growth factors.

White blood cell activation in Raynaud's phenomenon of systemic sclerosis and vibration induced white finger syndrome

, 1992
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) and vibration induced white finger syndrome (VWF) are common causes of secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. Previous studies have suggested an increase in inflammation in patients with SSc.

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

In Situ Photopolymerization of Smectic B Liquid‐Crystalline Electrolytes from Mesogenic Phosphate–Diacrylate/Ionic Liquid Complexes for High‐Performance Soft Ionic Actuators

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A flexible liquid‐crystalline electrolyte membrane via in situ photopolymerization of a phosphate‐functionalized mesogen, ionic liquid, and diacrylate monomer is developed. The resulting smectic B (SmB)‐phase structure enables 2D ion transport with high conductivity (10−4 S cm−1).
