The neck connects the head with the trunk, and is easily injuried due to trauma. Herein we reported a case with diffuse neck swelling after car accident. She suffered from progressive dyspnea and cyanosis 3 hours after the accident and needed airway maintenance with tracheostomy. A plain lateral radiograph and computed tomography scan of the neck showed diffuse edema at deep neck spaces. We rev...

The good news is that cellular phones do not cause brain cancer. The bad news? They are unfortunately a cause of car accidents. In fact, according to research by Drs. Donald A. Redelmeier and Robert J. Tibshirani, driving with the use of a cell phone can be likened to driving with a blood alcohol level of about 0.10 per cent. The chances of getting into an car accident while using a cellular ph...

Knowing what to do if you are involved in an accident can save lives and also make the claims process easier. 1. Stop your car and find out if anyone is injured. 2. Call the police or highway patrol. Tell them how many people where hurt and the types of injuries. The police will notify the nearest medical unit. 3. Cover injured people with a blanket to keep them warm. 4. Try to protect the acci...

Deployment of the air bag in a passenger vehicle accident rarely causes otologic injuries. However, sensorineural hearing loss induced by air bag deployment is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the English literature. A 38-year-old man involved in a traffic accident while driving his car at 40 km/hour presented with right sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus, without associat...

Several factors are considered in car accident analysis. Human factors research has shown that different perceptual and cognitive factors influence driving performance, leading to improvements in vehicle and road design. This case study provides a deeper understanding of the potential influence of major perceptual and cognitive variables on driving performance in general, including (a) driver e...

The problem of generating a 3D simulation of a car accident from a written description can be divided into two subtasks: the linguistic analysis and the virtual scene generation. As a means of communication between these two system parts, we designed a template formalism to represent a written accident report. The CarSim system processes template formal descriptions and creates corresponding 3D...

This paper uses Internet of Things(IOT) as a medium to propose a solution to the problem of accident detection and collision avoidance using present day technologies and also upcoming technologies. It also aims to reduce the traffic at toll nakas by providing an online payment facility in order to reduce day-to-day traffic. Loss of life due to road accident is a major cause of concern for any c...
