Relation of haemostatic function, neurovascular impairment, and vibration exposure in workers with different stages of vibration induced white finger.
Haemostatic function and neurovascular symptoms were investigated in 67 workers exposed to vibration and 46 comparable referents. Of these 65.6% of vibration workers complained of neurological disturbances (stages 0T, 0N of Taylor's classification for vibration induced white finger (VWF) and 20.9% suffered from Raynaud's phenomenon (stages 1-2-3). The severity of the staging symptoms showed a c...
متن کاملRaynaud's phenomenon, vibration induced white finger, and difficulties in hearing.
BACKGROUND An association has previously been reported between finger blanching and hearing difficulties, but only in workers with exposure to noise and hand transmitted vibration (HTV). AIMS To explore the association in a community sample, including cases who lacked occupational exposure to noise or HTV. METHOD A questionnaire was mailed to 12 606 subjects aged 35-64 years, chosen at rand...
متن کاملVibration-induced white finger and auditory susceptibility to noise exposure.
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. Hearing losses at 4 and 8 kHz in subjects with VWF were greater than those of unaffected men in a matched...
متن کاملPrognosis of vibration induced white finger: a follow up study.
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 first examination and was collected by a ques...
متن کاملDose-response patterns for vibration-induced white finger.
AIMS To investigate alternative relations between cumulative exposures to hand-transmitted vibration (taking account of vibration magnitude, lifetime exposure duration, and frequency of vibration) and the development of white finger (Raynaud's phenomenon). METHODS Three previous studies have been combined to provide a group of 1557 users of powered vibratory tools in seven occupational subgro...
