INTRODUCTION This study aimed to use video analysis techniques to determine the velocity, impact force, angle of impact, and impulse to fracture involved in a video-recorded bicycle accident resulting in facial fractures. Computed tomographic images of the resulting facial injury are presented for correlation with data and calculations. To our knowledge, such an analysis of an actual recorded t...

background: there is a high prevalence of  occupational injuries due to accidents in construction industries which affect human health. therefore, the exploration and analysis of contributing factors of such accidents can lead to their prevention and the reduction of their consequences. this study was conducted with the aim to identify factors related to occupational injuries and the severity o...

This paper presents work done to improve the representation in European decision support tools of physico-chemical forms of radiocontaminants released to the atmosphere from a major nuclear power plant accident. The task is to accommodate those types of scenarios where fuel particles are at play. A methodology with associated parameters has been developed to improve modelling of the aerodynamic...

A retrospective study on accident analysis of the United States mines for 36 years was achieved using statistical MSHA's databases between 1983 and 2018. regression model generalized estimation equation (GEE) used unbalanced panel data that provided 95,812 observations 19,924 mine-ID-year in aggregate, coal, metal, non-metal mines. The contributions various parameters, including mine type, inju...

OBJECTIVE Accidental injuries are frequent and their socioeconomic consequences enormous. The present study aimed to identify predictors of the number of days of leave taken in a consecutively selected group of accident victims who sustained severe, mostly life-threatening physical trauma. METHOD One hundred patients with severe accidental injuries who were referred to a trauma surgeons' inte...
