[Functional diagnosis by directional doppler-ultrasound in patients with Raynaud's disease (author's transl)]. 1979

H P Richter von Arnauld

7 patients with primary and 3 patients with secondary Raynaud's disease were studied by directional Doppler-ultrasound. Flow curves were registered of radial and ulnar artery in rest and during reactive hyperemia following ischemia and muscle work before and under medical treatment. Flow at rest and after provocation was much less than in normal persons. Effect of treatment could be demonstrated, so that this method seems to be very helpful in followup studies of patients with Raynaud's disease.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007511	Ischemia	A hypoperfusion of the BLOOD through an organ or tissue caused by a PATHOLOGIC CONSTRICTION or obstruction of its BLOOD VESSELS, or an absence of BLOOD CIRCULATION.	Ischemias
D011928	Raynaud Disease	An idiopathic vascular disorder characterized by bilateral Raynaud phenomenon, the abrupt onset of digital paleness or CYANOSIS in response to cold exposure or stress.	Cold Fingers, Hereditary,Raynaud Phenomenon,Raynaud's Disease,Raynauds Disease
D004301	Doppler Effect	Changes in the observed frequency of waves (as sound, light, or radio waves) due to the relative motion of source and observer. The effect was named for the 19th century Austrian physicist Johann Christian Doppler.	Doppler Shift,Effect, Doppler,Shift, Doppler
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D006940	Hyperemia	The presence of an increased amount of blood in a body part or an organ leading to congestion or engorgement of blood vessels. Hyperemia can be due to increase of blood flow into the area (active or arterial), or due to obstruction of outflow of blood from the area (passive or venous).

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults

D013696	Temperature	The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms.	Temperatures
D014111	Tourniquets	Devices for the compression of a blood vessel by application around an extremity to control the circulation and prevent the flow of blood to or from the distal area. (From Dorland, 28th ed)	Tourniquet
