A Case Study of Brass Foundry Workers’ Estimated Lead (Pb) Body Burden from Different Exposure Routes
Julander, Anneli; Midander, Klara; Garcia-Garcia, Sandra; Vihlborg, Per; Graff, Pål (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives The most pronounced occupational exposure routes for lead (Pb) are inhalation and gastrointestinal uptake mainly through hand-to-mouth behaviour. Skin absorption has been demonstrated for organic Pb compounds, ... -
Arterial abnormalities in the hands of workers with vibration white fingers. A magnetic resonance angiography case series
Vihlborg, Per; Makdoumi, Karim; Gavlovská, Hana; Wikström, Sverre; Graff, Pål (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Vibration white finger (VWF) is a complication from exposure to hand-arm vibrations. Poor knowledge of the pathophysiology of VWF means that making an accurate prognosis is difficult. Thus, a better understanding of VWF’s ... -
Blood biomarkers for occupational hand-arm vibration exposure
Vihlborg, Per; Lundberg, Oscar; Pettersson-Pablo, Paul; Johansson, Niklas; Bryngelsson, Ing-Liss; Stjernbrandt, Albin; Graff, Pål (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Hand-arm vibration is a common occupational exposure that causes neurological impairment, myalgia, and vibration-induced Raynaud's phenomena or vibration white fingers (VWF). The pathological mechanism is largely unknown, ... -

Vihlborg, Per; Petterson, Hans; Makdoumi, Karim; Wikström, Sverre; Bryngellson, Ing-Liss; Selander, Jenny; Graff, Pål (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective: To investigate the increased risk for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in men and women with hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure. Design: Case–control study of CTS where 4396 cases was obtained from National Outpatient ... -
Effects on blood parameters from hand-arm vibrations exposure
Johansson, Niclas; Ragnebro, Oscar; Stjernbrandt, Albin; Graff, Pål; Bryngelsson, Ing-Liss; Vihlborg, Per (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vibration exposure from handheld tools can affect the hands with neurological symptoms and vibration-induced Raynaud’s phenomenon (VRP). The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully known, however, changes ... -
Nerve function impairment after acute vibration exposure
Löfgren, Anton; Vihlborg, Per; Fornander, Louise; Bryngellson, Ing-Liss; Graff, Pål (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Abstract: Objective: This study was to investigate the acute effects of hand-arm vibrations on the nerve functions of the hands, and the impact of the grip force applied to the vibrating tool during exposure. Methods: Grip ... -
