Side Impact Rib Fracture Injury Analysis
A statistical analysis of injury outcome and biomechanical response was performed using data from 28 left side impact tests employing Heidelberg-type sleds and post-mortem human subjects, with the objective of advancing the development of thoracic injury criteria for lateral impact. Injuries were scored by the test centers according to AIS 90. Rib fractures accounted for the maximum AIS score i...
متن کاملPhenotypic variation explains food web structural patterns.
Food webs (i.e., networks of species and their feeding interactions) share multiple structural features across ecosystems. The factors explaining such similarities are still debated, and the role played by most organismal traits and their intraspecific variation is unknown. Here, we assess how variation in traits controlling predator-prey interactions (e.g., body size) affects food web structur...
متن کاملSurgical approaches for rib fracture fixation.
Operative management of thoracic injuries is an increasingly accepted technique, with multiple reports of improved patient outcomes as compared with nonoperative treatment. Despite the evolving support of rib fracture fixation, descriptions of surgical approaches and tactics remain limited. We present this information to allow surgeons to begin or improve treatment of these injuries. In additio...
متن کاملMethodology for estimating thoracic impact response in frontal crash tests.
This study has investigated the feasibility of estimating chest acceleration from the pelvic acceleration and shoulder belt forces measured on a vehicle occupant exposed to a frontal crash. The method of estimating chest acceleration is based upon a simple two-mass one-dimensional model of a vehicle occupant in which pelvic acceleration and shoulder belt force are applied as forcing functions. ...
متن کاملRib fracture: Different radiographic projections
BACKGROUND Rib fracture is the most common thoracic injury. It is thought to be present in 10% of all traumatic injuries and in almost 40% of patients who sustained severe non-penetrating trauma. There are 12 pairs of ribs. This study reviews various methods of acquisition and reconstruction of radiographic images of traumatic rib fractures in order to determine the optimal views and to simplif...
