Go to Arthritis index page Systemic sclerosis is a generalized disorder of connective tissue, leading to progressive tissue fibrosis. The condition characterized by fibrosis of the skin, but with involvement also of joints, tendons, muscles, and internal organs The condition was first described by Curzio in the 1753. Initially it was seen as a condition affecting the Skin but in 1945, Goetz proposed a description of progressive systemic sclerosis. He described visceral lesions in autopsy cases, whilst studying Medicine and forensic pathology at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. In addition, a limited Scleroderma was described in 1964 by Winterbauer. He referred to a syndrome with calcinosis raynauds phenomenon esophageal dysmotility sclerodactyly , and Telangiectasia . This subsequently became known as the C R E S T syndrome.

Extractions: Detailed Information Australian Research Basic Information about Scleroderma Scleroderma literally means "Hard Skin". It is a chronic degenerative disorder that leads to the overproduction of collagen in the body's connective tissue. Raynauds Phenomenon may well be the first symptom anyone has. It may be months or years before other systems develop. Because scleroderma is rare and often hard to diagnose, it is important to screen people who have Raynaud's. This way those people who may be at risk can be given treatment, or be closely monitored by their doctor. Patients undergo a general change in health and well-being eg: joint stiffness and aches, muscle weakness, loss of weight, tiredness - even in the morning, shortness of breath, reflux, problems with blood circulation in fingers and toes associated with numbness and sensitivity to cold temperatures (Raynaud's), high blood pressure with kidney disease. Raynauds Phenomenon Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition that causes a loss of blood flow to the fingers, toes, nose or ears. The affected areas turn white from the lack of circulation, then blue and cold, and finally numb. When the attack subsides, the affected parts may turn red and may throb, tingle or swell.

Extractions: Twenty-five thousand former miners are to be awarded £500m after suffering from work-related finger injuries. The Court of Appeal is expected to announce the award on Friday. It follows years of legal action against British Coal in connection with Vibration White Finger injury. Because British Coal closed at the end of last year, the government will take on liability for the compensation award. The miners' lawyer Andrew Tucker said: "It has been a long war and this is the last battle, I hope." He said he had been in negotiation with the Department of Trade and Industry since a High Court ruling last September that British Coal had been negligent in failing to protect its employees from the harmful effects of vibration since 1975. Highest award He said the highest award for an individual miner would be around £15,000 and the lowest would be £2,000 to £3,000.

Infrared Laser Doppler Imaging - Skin Temperature & Perfusion Studies

http://www.lawrenz.com/ldilit3.htm

Extractions: It is generally recognised that skin temperature and skin perfusion are inter-related. When regional blood flow is increased as in inflammation an area of warmer skin can be observed by thermal imaging. Conversely, reduced blood flow observed in the fingers in Raynaud's Phenomenon, will be characterised by areas of reduced temperature, particularly after cold stress. Laser Doppler Imaging, introduced within the last 5 years, produces an image which represents blood flow in the skin. With false colour coding, these images often resemble thermograms, and have been applied to a number of clinical situations which have already been studied by infra red thermal imaging. A Moor LDI laser Doppler Imager has been used in conjunction with an Agema 782 IR camera IRT, both being remote sensing devices. Images were recorded by both systems in a temperature controlled room at either 20 C or 23 C. The LDl scans a low power laser beam in a raster pattern over the skin. Moving blood in the microvasculature causes a Doppler shift which is processed to build up a colour coded image of blood flow. At the same time a black and white visible light image is formed for comparison. Resolution is dependant on speed of scan, but can be from 0.2mm to 2mm. Real time single point measurements can also be taken. Comprehensive image processing software is provided with the LDI. The area scanned can be varied from 5x5cm at 20cms distance to 50x50cm from 100cm.

Extractions: Topic: Microcurrent Stimulation (Page 2) EDWARD C. KONDROT, MD (H), CCH, DHt: Patients with chronic eye disorders are investigating alternative therapies especially when traditional medicine offers very little hope. It is frustrating when patients are told, "Nothing can be done." It is more frustrating when the medical establishment refuses to investigate new therapies that might have a possible role in the treatment and reversal of these problems. When dealing with controversial treatments it is important to keep and open mind and investigate both sides thoroughly. As a Board Certified Ophthalmologist and licensed Homeopathic doctor I have been interested in alternative therapies for the treatment of retinal problems. My approach is to look at the whole person evaluating both the physical and emotional components of the disease. Therapies that I utilize include nutrition, homeopathy, chelation and microcurrent therapy. Like many new therapies microcurrent has been met with extreme skepticism. My initial results of Microcurrent Stimulation were published in the Townscend Letter a peer review journal for both lay and professionals. (If you are interested in a copy of this article please email me a request or call the office below) I also published the book

Extractions: Read Site Go To Top Return Home Scleroderma Involvement Pages Raynaud's Phenomenon Printer Friendly Version It has been reported by several sources one being the Scleroderma Research Foundation that between 90 to 95 percent of people with scleroderma also suffer with raynaud's phenomenon. However only approximately 5 to 20 percent of those people who have raynaud's phenomenon get scleroderma. This means that a lot of people in the population have raynaud's and never get an autoimmune disease such as scleroderma. However, the majority of people with scleroderma deal with raynaud's. This condition is rare in those who are diagnosed with localized scleroderma (morphea and linear). There are two forms of this condition. One is called Primary Raynaud's Disease and this is the form that someone would have that doesn't get another disease. When someone with another disease has raynaud's it then is referred to as Secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon. This is a condition where the blood flow to the body is decreased due to the vessels constricting and cutting off or slowing blood flow. This disease is named after Maurice Raynaud who first described the condition in 1862 in an article titled "Local asphyxia and symmetrical gangrene of the extremities."
Raynauds Foundation - Biofeedback And Raynaud's Phenomenon
An article about the use of this therapy as an adjunctive aid to medical treatment for raynaud's phenomenon.
http://members.aol.com/raynauds/biofeed.htm

Extractions: Mae Jemison, the female astronaut, used biofeedback on the science mission shuttle Endeavor. She used her thoughts to control motion sickness instead of taking medicine. She is "thinking" her way back to health. Mae Jemison was quoted as saying, "I do know that the training works on the ground so we'll see how it works in space." The goal of the study was to provide a drug-free healing alternative to a variety of medicines now being used. Biofeedback training has many practical applications and concentration may be enhanced through the practice of various relaxation techniques. Some of the areas that have been treated with biofeedback are chronic pain, migraine or tension headaches, anxiety, insomnia and Raynaud's phenomenon. Biofeedback has been particularly effective in the treatment of Raynaud's, a blood flow or vascular disease. Put very simply, the individual practices techniques to help learn to warm his or her hands or feet in order to increase blood flow. A popular technique used for Raynaud's is autogenic training, developed by J. H. Schultz in Germany early in the 20th century. Autogenics is a form of physiologically directed self-hypnosis. Thermal biofeedback or simply using relaxation techniques are autogenic type therapies and they have also been effective.
