What I can tell you ist, that I had aworkmate, who has been working for thirty years in histology. She isretarded in 1999. She has also Mb. Raynaud (that's the disease with the"white fingers"?). And latetly I was told, that she is consulting thedoctors because of another autoimmun-disease, where the esophagus isaffected. I don't know the details, but I think there was no examinationabout connections between the diseases and the chemical exposition duringher livetime.I can remember, that she told us about airdrying xylol-wet slides on theradiatior ....Just one story of a histotechGudrun Lang-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-----Von: histonet-bounces@lists.utsouthwestern.edu[mailto:histonet-bounces@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] Im Auftrag von Ross,VirginiaGesendet: Donnerstag, 10. Februar 2005 19:49An: 'histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu'Betreff: [Histonet] Raynaud's SyndromeI have developed Raynaud's and I am awaiting diagnosis for suspectedautoimmune diseases and I have a collegue who worked with the some of thesame chemicals who is disabled with mixed connective tissue disease.Raynaud's has been linked to vinyl chloride, cryostats and vibratingmachines (vibrotomes) but I have not worked with any of these.  I haveworked with the traditional histology chemicals, solvents, andmethymethacrylate.  I am interested in seeing if there is a link betweenhistologists and autoimmune diseases, and which chemicals may be implicated.I would greatly appreciate any information anyone has on any of thesetopics.Thank you,Virginia_______________________________________________Histonet mailing listHistonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduhttp://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet_______________________________________________Histonet mailing listHistonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduhttp://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet_______________________________________________Histonet mailing listHistonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduhttp://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonetThe contents of this e-mail message and any attachments are private and confidential communications intended solely for the addressee(s) named in this message.
