Investigating and modeling motorcycle crash rates at urban unsignalized intersections in India
CONCLUSION: The study concludes that MTW crash rates are influenced by traffic and intersectional factors. Increased gap acceptance time correlates with lower crash rates. Countermeasure selections require detailed investigations, because it was observed that the presence of central traffic islands has varied effects on crash rates at 3-legged and 4-legged unsignalized intersections.PMID:38768387 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2348729 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Motorcycle injuries: a systematic review for forensic evaluation
AbstractThe intricate interplay of exposure and speed leave motorcyclists vulnerable, leading to high mortality rates. During the collision, the driver and the passenger are usually projected away from the motorcycle, with variable trajectories or final positions. Injuries resulting from the crash can exhibit distinct and specific characteristics depending on the circumstances of the occurrence.The aim of this study is to provide a systematic review of the literature on injuries sustained by motorcyclists involved in road accidents describing and analyzing elements that are useful for forensic assessment.The literature sea...

Coupling intention and actions of vehicle-pedestrian interaction: A virtual reality experiment study
Accid Anal Prev. 2024 May 18;203:107639. doi: 10.1016/j.aap.2024.107639. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe interactions between vehicles and pedestrians are complex due to their interdependence and coupling. Understanding these interactions is crucial for the development of autonomous vehicles, as it enables accurate prediction of pedestrian crossing intentions, more reasonable decision-making, and human-like motion planning at unsignalized intersections. Previous studies have devoted considerable effort to analyzing vehicle and pedestrian behavior and developing models to forecast pedestrian crossing intentions. However, ...

School-age children are more skeptical of inaccurate robots than adults
Cognition. 2024 May 18;249:105814. doi: 10.1016/j.cognition.2024.105814. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe expect children to learn new words, skills, and ideas from various technologies. When learning from humans, children prefer people who are reliable and trustworthy, yet children also forgive people's occasional mistakes. Are the dynamics of children learning from technologies, which can also be unreliable, similar to learning from humans? We tackle this question by focusing on early childhood, an age at which children are expected to master foundational academic skills. In this project, 168 4-7-year-old children (Study...

A study on the application of diffuse axonal multi-axis general evaluation for brain injury assessment in small overlap barrier crash test
CONCLUSION: If H50th rather than THOR is employed as an evaluation tool in SOB crash tests, newly designed vehicles are more likely to achieve superior performance scores. According to the current injury curve for DAMAGE and brain injury criterion, it is highly recommended that HIC along with DAMAGE was prioritized for brain injury assessment in SOB tests.PMID:38763812 | DOI:10.1016/j.cjtee.2024.04.005 (Source: Chinese Journal of Traumatology)

“Major Trauma Patients and Their Outcomes – A Retrospective Observational Study of Critical Care Trauma Admissions to a Trauma Unit with Special Services”
Major trauma is defined as serious injury with the potential of causing death and disability. Over five million deaths worldwide annually are caused by traffic accidents, falls, burns, violence and suicide, accounting for approximately 10% of world deaths [1]. International data has clearly described the changing demographics and patterns of major trauma over the last decade, with an increasingly older, comorbid population presenting further challenges to trauma management and resource provision [2,3].

Prevalence of thyroid nodules in residents of Ukraine exposed as children or adolescents to iodine-131 from the Chornobyl accident
CONCLUSIONS: Childhood exposure to I-131 is associated with an increased risk of thyroid nodules detected 12-14 years following exposure and the risk for neoplastic nodules is higher than for non-neoplastic nodules. Analyses of incident thyroid nodules may help clarify dose-response patterns by nodule characteristics and provide insights into thyroid nodule etiology.PMID:38757581 | DOI:10.1089/thy.2023.0654 (Source: Thyroid : official journal of the American Thyroid Association)

Delirium detection in the emergency department: A diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis of history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and screening instruments
CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative accuracy of history and physical examination to identify ED delirium is virtually unexplored. The 4AT has the largest quantity of ED-based research. Other screening instruments may more accurately rule in or rule out delirium. If the goal is to rule in delirium then the CAM-ICU or brief CAM or modified CAM for the ED are superior instruments, although the accuracy of these screening tools are based on single-center studies. To rule out delirium, the Delirium Triage Screen is superior based on one single-center study.PMID:38757369 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14935 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)
