Analyzing relationships between latent topics in autonomous vehicle crash narratives and crash severity using natural language processing techniques and explainable XGBoost
Accid Anal Prev. 2024 May 13;203:107605. doi: 10.1016/j.aap.2024.107605. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSafety is one of the most essential considerations when evaluating the performance of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Real-world AV data, including trajectory, detection, and crash data, are becoming increasingly popular as they provide possibilities for a realistic evaluation of AVs' performance. While substantial research was conducted to estimate general crash patterns utilizing structured AV crash data, a comprehensive exploration of AV crash narratives remains limited. These narratives contain latent information about AV ...

Low blood glucose and fatigue accumulation at peak hours of occupational trauma in secondary industry workers
Conclusions. Blood glucose levels decreased and subjective fatigue levels increased at the time points that occupational accidents were reported to occur most frequently during work. These factors may contribute to human errors due to impaired attentional function.PMID:38741548 | DOI:10.1080/10803548.2024.2347742 (Source: International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics)

Editorial: Suicide Risk Factors in Black Middle School Adolescents
598 youth in the United States ages 10 to 14 years old died by suicide in 2021, the second leading cause of death in this age group (with accidents first, malignant neoplasms third and homicides fourth) and the third leading cause of death in ages 15 to 24 years (with accidents first and homicide second).1 Suicide rates in ages 10 to 19 years increased by almost 50% from 2010 to 2019 and by 100% in ages 10 to 14 with ethnic and racial variations in rates.2. Rates in Black youth ages 10 to 17 are reported to have increased at a faster pace than those in other racial and ethnic groups, with rates in Black youth under the age...

Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS) as a Screening Tool for Early Identification of Cerebral Large Vessel Occlusions; a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: A very low level of evidence demonstrated that CPSS, with a threshold set at ≥2, is a useful tool for identifying LVO stroke and directing patients to CSCs, both in prehospital and in-hospital settings.PMID:38737135 | PMC:PMC11088790 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2242 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

Traditional Spinal Immobilization versus Spinal Motion Restriction in Cervical Spine Movement; a Randomized Crossover Trial
CONCLUSION: SMR that used scoop stretcher resulted in significantly less cervical spine movement than immobilization with a TSI that used long spinal board. We recommend implementing the SMR protocol for transporting trauma patients, as minimizing cervical motion may enhance patient outcomes.PMID:38737134 | PMC:PMC11088786 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2263 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

Incidence and Outcomes of Aortic Dissection in Tabriz, Iran; a Longitudinal Study of 150 Cases
CONCLUSION: The study revealed an annual incidence rate of aortic dissection as 2.35 per 100000 population. Aortic dissection, regardless of type, remains a highly fatal condition, with over half of patients dying within 3 months of the initial event. To reduce the high mortality rates associated with aortic dissections, it is crucial to implement specific measures for the early identification of patients and ensure prompt and appropriate care.PMID:38737133 | PMC:PMC11088787 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2314 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

Fatal Septic Shock Due to Aeromonas Hydrophila in a Cirrhotic Patient; a Case Report
Arch Acad Emerg Med. 2024 Mar 15;12(1):e37. doi: 10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2270. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTAeromonas hydrophila has been identified as a causative agent of necrotizing fasciitis and myonecrosis, with most reported cases having a connection to aquatic-related trauma. Cases without such trauma history are rare in existing literature. Here, we present the case of a 56-year-old cirrhotic patient who lacked any prior aquatic-related trauma and arrived at the emergency department in a state of septic shock. The suspected route of entry was through necrotizing fasciitis and myonecrosis in his left forearm. Unfortunately,...

Comparison of a 30-year trend of incidence, prevalence, and DALY due to low back pain in Iran with Low- and High-SDI countries; Based on GBD study 2019 Data
CONCLUSION: The age-standardized incidence and prevalence of LBP in Iran showed a downward trend, from 1993 to 2019, especially from 1996 to 1999. Comparing Iran with low- and high-SDI countries, a heavier incidence of LBP was observed in Iran and heavier prevalence and DALY were seen in high-SDI countries. Therefore, more therapeutic healthcare interventions are required to reduce the LBP burden more effectively.PMID:38737131 | PMC:PMC11088793 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2257 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

Clinical analysis of transverse process fractures: A comprehensive study on patient characteristics, management, and outcomes in trauma care
CONCLUSION: TPFs, previously considered minor injuries, demonstrate significant pain and functional limitations. They often accompany systemic pathologies, particularly in multilevel fractures, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to management. The "Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation" (PRICE) approach, including Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and muscle relaxants, along with collar or brace support when necessary, proves effective in pain management and functional improvement. These findings emphasize the importance of recognizing TPFs as complex injuries requiring tailored management stra...

Management of a large traumatic hemipelvectomy defect following a truck crush injury: a case report
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg. 2024 May;30(5):370-373. doi: 10.14744/tjtes.2024.64226.ABSTRACTThis case report explores the management of a traumatic hemipelvectomy-a rare and devastating injury characterized by a high mortality rate. The patient, a 12-year-old male, suffered right lower extremity amputation and right hemipelvectomy due to a deglov-ing injury from a non-vehicle-related accident at another institution. Initially, an urgent reconstruction of the right pelvic region and suprapubic tissue defects was performed using a posterior-based fasciocutaneous flap. Following this, the patient was transferred to the pedi...

Dental injuries in Swiss children - an analysis of Swiss national health insurance data from the year 2019
This study, the first to analyze accident data from a major compulsory Swiss health insurer (Concordia), reviewed 5,063 dental accident reports of 122,370 children under the age of 16. The predominant cause of injury was a "fall," with "playing" being the foremost activity mentioned and "ground" identified as the primary object of impact. The analysis of the involved objects showed that dental injuries occur most frequently with scooters, bicycles, and stairs. In 2019, 8.14% of children aged one and insured by Concordia suffered a dental injury. By age 16, 58.8% of all children had experienced a dental injury. 0.72% had su...
