This study presents a low-power wearable system able to predict fall by detecting pre-impact condition, performed through simple analysis of motion data (acceleration) and height the subject. The can detect in all directions with an average consumption 5.91 mA; i.e., it monitor activity daily living (ADL), whether or not occurs. entire detection uses single tri-axis accelerometer placed on wais...

RATIONALE No large studies till date are available from India on post-traumatic seizures (PTS). METHODS This is a prospective observational study of 520 patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) (July 2007-2008). Patients admitted after 24h of injury, with Glasgow coma scale (GCS)<or=4 were excluded. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 386 days, 59 (11.4%) patients developed PTS. Incidence of...

Fall is a precipitous drop from a height, or from a higher position, which may be accompanied by injuries. This is one of the most dangerous and fearful situation in the elderly living. This is the reason, fast and early detection of the fall is very important to save and rescue the people and avoid the badly prognosis. In this article we are presenting a thresholdbased fall detection algorithm...

OBJECTIVES To describe the relation with age of risk of reported injury after a fall among women at work in two countries, the United Kingdom and Sweden, with particular emphasis on fractures, and to interpret these data. METHODS Rates of accidents compiled under the national reporting regulations of each country during a two year period were described by age, sex, cause (fall on the level, f...

Background: The incidences of head injuries are growing with increasing number of high speed motor vehicle, more movement of the public and mechanization in industry. Head injury is most common causes of mortality in road traffi c accidents and fall from Height. This is because of this special anatomical location of the Head in our body. This study is being taken into account to explore and eva...

This study investigates the phonetics of German nuclear rise-fall contours in relation to contexts that trigger either a contrastive or a non-contrastive interpretation in the answer. A rise-fall contour can be conceived of a tonal sequence of L-H-L. A production study elicited target sentences in contrastive and non-contrastive contexts. The majority of cases realized showed a nuclear rise-fal...

OBJECTIVES Falls from heights are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the construction industry, especially among inexperienced workers. We surveyed apprentice carpenters to identify individual and organizational factors associated with falls from heights. METHODS We developed a 72-item survey on fall prevention with multiple domains including fall experience, fall-prevention knowle...
