Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Cold Intolerance Symptom Severity (CISS-T) Questionnaire. Material and Methods: The translation and back translation steps of the study were based on the Beaton guidelines. Sixty-eight patients between 18 to 65 years old with cold intolerance after amputation, replantation, multiple crush syndrome and peripheral nerve injury were included in the study. Patients completed the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire, the SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire and the single questions assessing the cold sensitivity and cold intolerance once and the final version of the CISS-T twice with 7 days interval. Results: The internal consistency (Cronbach α = 0.844) and test-retest reliability (r = 0.938) of CISS-T were assessed and both were found to be very good. Also, correlations between scores of CISS-T; DASH-T, SF36-T and the single questions were analyzed by the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The CISS-T showed an excellent correlation with the single questions (rho 0.8 and 0.877), good and negative correlation with the SF-36 pain sub-parameter (rho=-0.617) and a moderate correlation with the DASH-T (rho=0.592). Conclusion: As a result, CISS-T is valid and reliable instrument to assess severity of cold intolerance. Key words: Cold Intolerance, Hand Injury, Turkish Version, Validity-Reliability

Introduction: Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms (ECCAs) are rare pathologies with various etiologies, presentations, and management strategies. Historically, open aneurysm resection and arterial repair have been the gold standard management of ECCAs. Our study examines the evolving experience with endovascular management of ECCAs. Methods: We performed a literature review of multiple studies on endovascular and open management of carotid artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms. Conclusions: Endovascular stenting is technically feasible and clinically effective for the treatment of carotid artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms. Further follow-up is required regarding long-term safety and efficacy.

Long-term use of hand-held vibrating tools may induce various types of hand problems. One hundred symptomatic men exposed to vibration from such tools were interviewed and examined with special reference to neurosensory and vasospastic problems. Three distinct symptomatic groups were identified: isolated neurosensory symptoms (48%), isolated vasospastic problems (20%), and combined neurosensory and vasospastic problems (32%). Abnormal cold intolerance (pain and coldness without blanching of the fingers on exposure to cold) occurred in 27% of the patients. Neurosensory problems were more predominant than vasospastic ones, especially during the first 20 years of vibration exposure. Of 80 patients with neurosensory symptoms, only 22 had signs of a carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It is concluded that vibration-induced neurosensory and vasospastic symptoms can occur separately or together, and that the neurosensory symptoms are often not due to a CTS.

Our aim was to identify a cut-off value for self-reported, abnormal cold sensitivity and to identify cold sensitivity predictors after hand injuries. The Cold Intolerance Symptom Severity (CISS) questionnaire and a VAS question concerning discomfort on exposure to cold were investigated in 94 normal people and 88 patients. A CISS score>50 was defined as abnormal cold sensitivity. Multiple injured digits, an increased number of injured vessels, complete nerve injury and replantation were variables associated with high VAS scores. Factors linked to both abnormality and worse CISS or VAS scores were: the presence of bone injury; a larger number of repaired vessels; the use of vascular grafts and a high Hand Injury Severity Score (HISS). The causes of abnormality and severity suggest a multifactorial aetiology with bony, vascular and neural components. A cut-off for abnormality is useful for descriptive, comparative and assessment purposes.

Limited studies exist on the outcome of replacing an amputated fingertip as a composite graft. We report the outcomes and predictors for composite graft survival along with the long-term morbidity. A retrospective review of all patients <16 years who underwent composite graft replacement of an amputated fingertip was performed. Long-term morbidity was evaluated through a standardized parental questionnaire. A total of 120 patients were identified, of whom 97 were eligible for inclusion. Parental questionnaires were completed for 42 (43%) patients. There was a 10% complete and 34% partial graft survival rate. Patients aged ⩽4 were significantly more likely to have complete graft take than those >4. Of the patients, 17% developed post-operative complications; 48% of patients reported a hook-nail deformity and 17% reported cold intolerance. Only 5% of patients reported any functional difficulties long term. The rate of complete composite graft survival in a paediatric population is low, although the long-term function of these patients is good. Level of evidence: 3
