Twenty residues of the human choriogonadotropin (hCG) beta-subunit that are wrapped around alpha-subunit loop 2 like a "seatbelt" stabilize the heterodimer and enable the hormone to distinguish lutropin (LHR), follitropin, and thyrotropin receptors. The N-terminal portion of the seatbelt contains a small disulfide-stabilized loop needed for heterodimer assembly and is thought to mediate hCG-LHR...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND; Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death and may be related to social inequality. OBJECTIVE To establish whether patterns of seatbelt use vary between different socioeconomic communities in the Cape Town Metropole, South Africa. METHODS Vehicles and their occupants at 7 high-volume crossings (3 in high-income areas) were placed under surveillance for 2 hours...

BACKGROUND Seatbelt laws save lives. Primary enforcement (allowing citations solely for seatbelt nonuse) is a more effective means of saving lives, yet seven southern states have no primary laws, due in part to concern about racial profiling. METHODS Non-Hispanic, black:white (B:W), occupant motor vehicle crash mortality rate ratios (MRRs) were compared across the 15 to 64 age range over two ...

This study developed anthropometric information on U.S. firefighters to guide fire-apparatus seat and seatbelt designs and future standards development. A stratified sample of 863 male and 88 female firefighters across the U.S. participated in the study. The study results suggested 498 mm in width, 404 mm in depth, and 365-476 mm in height for seat pans; 429-522 mm in width and 542 mm in height...

OBJECTIVE To clarify the mechanisms of adherence. METHODS A cross-sectional, multicenter French study using a self-questionnaire administered by 116 general practitioners to 782 obese type 2 diabetic patients. RESULTS The analysis of 670 completed questionnaires revealed a strong association between the adherence to medication and the behavior of fastening the seatbelt when seated in the re...

Accident analysis and prevention are helpful to ensure the sustainable development of transportation. The aim this research was investigate factors associated with severity low-visibility-related rural single-vehicle crashes. Firstly, a latent class clustering model implemented partition whole-dataset into relatively homogeneous sub-dataset. Then, spatial random parameters logit established for...
