title: [Effect of peripheral thermoregulation on the results of various studies used in the diagnosis of the vibration syndrome].
abstract: The paper constitutes some attempt of evaluating the relationships between individual peripheral thermoregulation and results of tests routinely applied for diagnosing the vibration syndrome (cooling test, thermometry, palesthesiometry, capillaroscopy, isotopic capillary flow, thermography at rest). In a group of 126 clinically observed subjects with the suspected vibration syndrome, 3 subgroups of different peripheral thermoregulation have been singled out. Forty-seven subjects were classified as homoiothermics, thirty-one subjects as poikilothermics and forty-eight as-amphithermics. Statistically significantly more frequent were disturbances in the tests in poikilo- and amphithermics, as compared to homoiothermics. Analysis of particular tests demonstrated disturbed thermometry mostly in poikilothermics. The authors surmise that the less advantageous variant of individual peripheral thermoregulation (i.e. poikilo- and amphithermic) may promote a more rapid occurrence and development of the vascular form of the vibration syndrome.
