| Abstract |
Experiments were conducted on 13 chain-saw operators in whom the presence of Raynaud's phenomenon had been confirmed, and on a control group performing the same work. The efficiency of various screening test methods for diagnosing Raynaud's phenomenon between attacks was examined (skin temperature, palm press test, nail press test, grasping power, reactive congestion test, rheumatoid arthritis test, and cold pressor test), and an attempt was made to discover a new method. The results obtained are tabulated and discussed. The cold pressor revovery index of diastolic blood pressure appears to be very useful in the early detection of Raynaud's phenomenon when the subject is seen between attacks. |
