Vibration injuries in Norwegian forest workers.
Hellstr0m, B., and Lange Andersen, K. (1972). Brit. J. industr. Med.. 29, 255-263. Vibration Mjuries in Norwegian forest workers. A free medical examination with compensation for lost earnings was offered to the forest workers in three areas of eastern Norway. Sixty-six per cent attended (413 workers, of whom 296 used chain saws). The prevalence of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) was 47% in chain saw...
متن کاملWork ability in vibration-exposed workers
BACKGROUND Hand-arm vibration exposure may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) including sensorineural disturbances. AIMS To investigate which factors had the strongest impact on work ability in vibration-exposed workers. METHODS A cross-sectional study in which vibration-exposed workers referred to a department of occupational and environmental medicine were compared with a randomized...
متن کاملRaynaud's phenomenon in workers exposed to vibration.
Both the finger systolic blood pressure (FSP) and the rewarming test of finger skin are measures of circulation in the finger; the first reflects the vasoconstriction phase and the second the vasodilatation phase. The combinations of the specificity and the sensitivity of these methods were evaluated by a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The material included 37 vibration-induced ...
متن کاملUrinary excretion of hydroxyproline in workers occupationally exposed to vibration.
Urinary hydroxyproline excretion was measured in 130 chain saw operators aged 28-59 and in 31 normal control subjects aged 26-59 with no occupational exposure to vibration. The results measured were expressed as a ratio of hydroxyproline to creatinine. (1) No significant correlation between hydroxyproline/creatinine ratio and age was observed among normal subjects. (2) In chain saw operators gr...
متن کاملQuantitatively measured tremor in hand-arm vibration-exposed workers
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible increase in hand tremor in relation to hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure in a cohort of exposed and unexposed workers. METHODS Participants were 178 male workers with or without exposure to HAV. The study is cross-sectional regarding the outcome of tremor and has a longitudinal design with respect to exposure. The dose of...
