BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are no standard screening guidelines to evaluate blunt cerebrovascular injury in children. The purpose of this retrospective study was to understand the clinical and radiologic risk factors associated with pediatric blunt cerebrovascular injury on CTA of the neck with primary attention to the cervical "seatbelt sign." MATERIALS AND METHODS Radiology reports from 2...

The comprehensive report, Healthy Border 2010, identified reduction of motor vehicle crash death rates by 20% in Mexico and 25% in the US as priority targets. The report also identified seatbelt usage as the first approach to reach these targets. Our study measured seatbelt usage in a cross-border context and compared seatbelt usage with other areas in North America. Suggestions are made for co...

Using a language without exception handling is like driving a car with no brakes and no seatbelt | things work ne until something goes wrong. You also learn to drive rather carefully.

The implementation turned out to be very easy but we had problems nding a viable semantics for our system. The resultin...
