Finger systolic blood pressure indices for the diagnosis of vibration-induced white finger
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2002To compare the accuracy of several finger systolic blood pressure indices (FSBPIs) for the diagnosis of cold-induced Raynaud's phenomenon in vibration-exposed worker groups with different prevalences of vibration-induced white finger (VWF).The finger systolic blood pressure (FSBP) in a test finger at 10 degrees C as a percentage of the pressure at 30 ...

Socio-medicinal aspects of vibration-induced white finger disease
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2008The influence of vibration-induced white finger disease on the quality of life and possible social consequences is the subject of the study presented herein.The data acquisition was carried out by means of a standardized questionnaire. Parameters such as quality of life, professional practice, prevention and social security were assessed among other ...

Comparing subjective and objective assessments of the severity of vibration induced white finger
Journal of Biomedical Engineering, 1991The present staging of the disease severity of vibration induced white finger (VWF) is based on the patients' symptoms. Forty patients, with a history of VWF, with disease severity stage III or stage IV, on the Taylor-Pelmear scale, were investigated. Total, reactive hyperaemic blood flow to the hands was measured using an isotope limb blood flow (ILBF)

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.

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 ...
