nomenon. The method used was to examine the magnitude and time-course of the reflex vasoconstriction in the hand which follows application of ice to the neck. One hand of each subject was kept at 260C and the other at 360C, while the general thermal environment was varied. Enhancement was found in three groups of subjects: those with idiopathic, early age-onset, Raynaud's disease; those with Raynaud's phe-

متن کاملRole of cold and emotional stress in Raynaud's disease and scleroderma.
Research on the aetiology of Raynaud's disease and phenomenon has been hindered by the difficulty of provoking attacks in the laboratory. A study was therefore conducted in which digital and ambient temperatures, electrocardiograms, and stress ratings were obtained during ambulatory monitoring in patients with idiopathic Raynaud's disease, Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to scleroderma, and in n...
متن کاملRaynaud's phenomenon after radical radiotherapy for tumours of the head and neck.
Endothelial cell injury is implicated in the development of radiation induced tissue damage and may also be involved in the pathophysiology of secondary Raynaud's phenomenon.
