BACKGROUND The mining industry is known worldwide for its highly risky and hazardous working environment. Technological advancement in ore extraction techniques for proliferation of production levels has caused further concern for safety in this industry. Research so far in the area of safety has revealed that the majority of incidents in hazardous industry take place because of human error, th...

Trauma is one of the leading causes death and maxillofacial injuries are more common in Road traffic accident. Post traumatic hematoma a self limiting one. Hematoma injury following an RTA usually associated with fracture facial bones. It occurs mainly due to breach periosteum osseous bleeding from fractured bone segments. Here we present case report expanding post no fractures its management.

PURPOSE To evaluate several protocols for depiction of the urinary collecting system with multi-detector row computed tomographic (CT) urography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one patients with hematuria or a suspicious renal mass underwent CT urography, during which thinly collimated (1-mm) pyelographic phase scanning was performed 8-10 minutes after contrast medium administration. Patients we...

This study uses continuously logged driving data from 166 private cars to derive the level of jerks caused by the drivers during everyday driving. The number of critical jerks found in the data is analysed and compared with the self-reported accident involvement of the drivers. The results show that the expected number of accidents for a driver increases with the number of critical jerks caused...

With the aim of maintaining a decent level accessibility, presence intersections, often in high numbers, is one typical features rural roads. However, evidence from literature shows that increasing intersection density increases risk accidents. Accident analysis regarding primarily consists accident prediction models which are useful tool for measuring safety performance roads, but lacking term...

The population in Sweden is growing rapidly due to immigration. In this light, the issue of infrastructure upgrades to provide telecommunication services is of importance. New antennas can be installed at hot spots of user demand, which will require an investment, and/or the clientele expansion can be carried out in a planned manner to promote the exploitation of the infrastructure in the less ...

Traumatic injury to an adjacent segment of a previously fused spine is a rare complication of scoliosis surgery. The adjacent spinal segments may be more vulnerable to traumatic fracture or dislocation due to increased strain. We present a patient with prior C2 to sacrum fusion who suffered a C2 fracture/dislocation after falling. A 52-year-old female with a previous C2 to the sacrum fusion for...

BACKGROUND Stiffening of the aortic wall is a phenomenon consistently observed in age and in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, its role in AAA pathophysiology is largely undefined. METHODS AND RESULTS Using an established murine elastase-induced AAA model, we demonstrate that segmental aortic stiffening precedes aneurysm growth. Finite-element analysis reveals that early stiffening of...

The complex and variable hydro-meteorological conditions in Arctic waters scattered limited port infrastructures pose a great threat challenge to emergency search rescue. It is crucial determine an available effective for rescue the event of maritime accident occurring waters. In present study, directed-weighted network consisting nodes accident-prone areas developed based on theory. For this, ...

China has a large vehicle base, uneven road conditions, and the highest rate of traffic accidents in world. Particularly on long downhill sections expressway tunnels mountainous areas with harsh geographical are densely distributed, once accident occurs, consequences serious, which poses threat to people’s lives property. This paper mined analyzed data collected by project Baoding section Zhang...
