Methods: This study examined 41 English Premiership soccer academy squads consisting of 12,306 player seasons for the incidence of lower back injury, injury severity, and investigated time to recovery in relation to potential risk factors. Injury risk was assessed for different times in a match and season, mechanism of injury, player position, player age, and competitive compared with noncompet...

Electric injuries are uncommon but can lead to numerous long-term complications as well death. Occupational exposure is the most common cause of injury among affected population. Both low-voltage and high-voltage electrocution associated with significant morbidity mortality. Patients certain presentations at a high risk arrhythmia post-injury. Here, we discuss presentation management in 35-year...

Bone loss after spinal cord injury leads to increased fragility of bone and subsequent risk for low-trauma fractures in the sublesional parts of the body. Although in such injuries upper limbs are normally innervated, bone loss may occur in the upper extremities. The present study was designed to determine the systemic effects of spinal cord injury on the fracture healing of upper limbs in rabb...

Background. Volleyball is a popular non-contact sport around the globe. Unfortunately, volleyball players often suffer from an ankle sprain and knee and shoulder injuries. Proper techniques, education, and preventive exercises such as adequate warm-ups can reduce the risk of injury. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate and compare the implementation of the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Ce...

CONTEXT Computerized drug alerts for psychotropic drugs are expected to reduce fall-related injuries in older adults. However, physicians over-ride most alerts because they believe the benefit of the drugs exceeds the risk. OBJECTIVE To determine whether computerized prescribing decision support with patient-specific risk estimates would increase physician response to psychotropic drug alerts...

PROBLEM Children on family agricultural operations have high risk of injury. The association between children's behavioral traits and their risk of injury is not well understood. METHOD Data from the Regional Rural Injury Study-II were used to assess behavioral risk factors for injury to children ages six to <20 years. A total of 379 injury events (cases) and 1,562 randomly selected controls ...

Background: Although early conceptualisations posited an inverse relationship between psychopathy and self-injury, little research has tested this. Aims: To examine the selfinjurious thoughts and behaviour associated with psychopathy. Method: Data from the MacArthur Violence Risk Assessment Project were used to examine homogenous subtypes of participants based on their responses to six self-inj...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk between throwing workload and upper limb injury in elite cricketers. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Elite Australian cricket. PARTICIPANTS 28 adult male cricketers aged 18-32 years. ASSESSMENT OF RISK FACTORS Daily throwing workload and injury were prospectively monitored over the 2007-2008 cricket season. Risk ratios (RRs) were calculated to ...

Introduction—Death rates among US veterans of the Persian Gulf War were lower than rates among non-deployed veterans and the US population at large, with the exception of injury deaths; returning veterans were at significantly greater risk of injury mortality. Similar patterns of excess injury mortality were documented among US and Australian veterans returning from Vietnam. In spite of these c...

Comparing the injury risk of different travel modes requires using a travel-based measure of exposure. In this study we quantify injury risk by travel mode, age, race/ethnicity, sex, and injury severity using three different travel-based exposure measures (person-trips, person-minutes of travel, and person-miles of travel) to learn how these metrics affect the characterization of risk across po...
