To assess the annual consultation prevalence and new onset rate for doctor-diagnosed shoulder pain conditions.We identified all residents in southernmost county Sweden who received a diagnosis during 2006 (ICD-10 code M75). In subjects did not consult due to such disorders 2004 2005, we estimated rate. The distribution of specific conditions length period repeated were calculated.Annual was 103/10,000 women 98/10,000 men. New 80/10,000 (peak age 50-59 at 129/10,000) 74/10,000 men 60-69...
Abstract Our aim was to explore possible relationships between serum levels of biomarkers in patients with hand-arm vibration injury relation the severity vascular, i.e., Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP), and neurosensory manifestations, current exposure level, duration exposure. This study case series design involved 92 diagnosed injury. Jonckheere’s trend test used assess any association RP as well graded by International Consensus Criteria. Generalized linear models adjustment for confounders...
Abstract Hand-arm vibration injury is a well-known occupational disorder that affects many workers globally. The diagnosis based mainly on quantitative psychophysical tests and medical history. Typical manifestations of hand-arm entail episodes finger blanching, Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) sensorineural symptoms from affected nerve fibres mechanoreceptors in the skin. Differences serum levels 17 different biomarkers between 92 patients with 51 controls were analysed. Patients entailing RP...
The Kingdom of Crystal, an area in southern Sweden famous for its many glassworks, is historically heavily burdened by pollution from this industry. Glass crust containing cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and arsenic (As) has been deposited around the used as filling. purpose study was to monitor whether high levels metals contaminated soil were reflected blood urine among school children area. Blood samples collected 87 2017. (Cd-B) (Pb-B) found determined inductively coupled plasma mass...
Objectives Occupational exposure to vibration using hand-held tools may cause hand-arm syndrome (HAVS). Correct diagnosis and grading of severity are crucial in protecting the individual’s health for workers’ compensation claims. The International Consensus Criteria (ICC) has been suggested replace widely used Stockholm Workshop Scale (SWS). aims were to, a clinical setting, assess concordance between SWS ICC neurosensory injury, present picture according symptoms, type affected nerve fibres...
Abstract Background Despite EU regulatory standards, many workers suffer injury as a result of working with hand-held vibrating tools. Our aim this study was to confirm whether carpenters, highly exposed group, more injuries their hands than painters, group assumed be less vibration. Methods 193 carpenters (participation rate 100%) and 72 painters 67%), all men, answered questionnaire underwent clinical examination identify manifestations neural vascular origin in the hands. Neurosensory...
The clinical evaluation of patients with neurosensory injury is based on quantitative sensory testing. Such tests require the patient's cooperation, which may sometimes hinder a correct diagnosis. Objective findings, e.g., biomarkers, would therefore be valuable. We evaluated serum biomarkers vascular and neural in 92 vibration injuries 64 referents. Thrombomodulin (TM), biomarker for endothelial damage, was elevated HAVS Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) compared to those without, as it also...

<h3>Background</h3> Secondary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) due to occupational exposure hand-held vibrating tools is a well-recognized part of the Hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) [1]. Different pathophysiological mechanisms for HAVS-induced RP have been proposed, e.g., localized structural vascular and neuronal injuries as well systemic inflammatory processes by increased oxidative stress [2-5]. Elevated plasma levels thrombomodulin (TM), marker endothelial damage, shown in vibration-exposed...
TPS 621: Exposure to metals, Johan Friso Foyer, Floor 1, August 26, 2019, 3:00 PM - 4:30 Background/Aim: The Kingdom of Cristal, an area in southern Sweden, is historically heavily burdened by heavy metals. Cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic have previously been used glass production large amounts crust deposited around the Cristal as filling material for construction new residential areas, parks schools. purpose project was monitor whether high levels contaminated soil reflected blood urine...
