background: motor vehicle traffic injuries are indeed one of the most important worldwide health problems. opioids can induce a depressant effect on the central nervous system which may increase the risk of traffic accidents. this cross-sectional case-control study was conducted in marvdasht, iran to investigate the presence of drugs in hospitalized non-fatally injured drivers of motor vehicles...

background india currently has the dubious distinction of experiencing the highest number of road traffic accidents in the world. objectives we believe that this study on road traffic accidents may help to identify factors in the pre-hospital setting that may influence mortality rates. patients and methods a prospective observational study was carried out in a metro area in india over a period ...

Poisonings and toxic exposures are prominent causes of morbidity and mortality in patients that present to the emergency department. The American Association of Poison Control Centers, in its 1994 annual report, cites a 10% increase in the number of reported cases of poison exposure. The clinical evaluation and management of such patients remain challenging. Few specific antidotes are available...

Optimal routing is an important part of the methanol road transportation research. Optimal routing of methanol is different from those general optimal routing processes. Methanol optimal routing need to take into account the risk of path, the possible consequences of the accident and emergency response capabilities around the path and other factors This paper includes two aspects of research, o...
