Abstract:

The article aims to describe the profile of elderly victims of falls and traffic accidents from the data of the Surveillance Survey of Violence and Accidents (VIVA). The VIVA Survey was conducted in the emergency health-services of the Unified Health System in the capitals of Brazil in 2011. The sample of elderly by type of accident was subjected to the two-step cluster procedure. Of the 2463 elderly persons in question, 79.8% suffered falls and 20.2% were the victims of traffic accidents. The 1812 elderly who fell were grouped together into 4 clusters: Cluster 1, in which all had disabilities

Abstract:

505 kindergarten and primary school children from 4 to 13 years of age were treated for school sports injuries during the period 1990–1997. The incidence of injuries increased statistically significantly from .5 per 1,000 children 4- to 5-yr.-old to 4.8 injured children per 1,000 in 12- to 13-yr.-old. 59% of the injuries involved upper extremities; 35% of these were in the wrist region. 33.5% of the injuries were of the lower extremities, with 50% being of the feet and 36.4% of the ankle. Accidental falls were the main situation (53%) in which school sport accidents occurred. Nearly 65% of the

Abstract:

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an injury located on the medulla spinalis, which could cause damage to the motor and sensory system. There are four mechanisms of accidents, which are traffic accidents, falls from height, sports accidents, and occupation-related accidents. Research regarding SCI caused by accident in Denpasar is still limited; therefore, to understand patients’ demography and clinical characteristics, further research is needed. Subjects and Methods: This research was a descriptive, cross-sectional research using total sampling and a prospective approach taken from the

During primary dentition, the etiology changes by age group.

Previous studies have estimated that traumas from falls, sporting activities, bicycling, traffic accidents, and violence were the most common causes of dental injuries in children.

✓ Reports prior to 1980 describe overall mortality rates for acute subdural hematomas (SDH's) ranging from 40% to 90% with poor outcomes observed in all age groups. Recently, improved results have been reported with rapid diagnosis and surgical treatment. A relatively large number of older patients (34 patients over 65 years old) were treated recently at Harborview Medical Center, enabling a retrospective comparison with similarly treated younger patients (33 patients aged 18 to 40 years). Clinical information and computerized tomography morphometric data were obtained. Patients in the younger

Abstract:

Introduction: Children, especially those under the age of five, seldom get hip dislocations. Young children may sustain dislocations from minor accidents such as slips or falls from low heights, whereas adolescents typically do so from high-intensity events such as car crashes or collision sports. Posterior dislocation occurs 8–9 times more frequently than those in the anterior. Here, we describe about the acute posterior hip dislocation suffered by a 5-year-old boy in this case report. Case Report: A 5-year-old girl reported to ER with left hip pain and difficulty to walk after slipping and f

AbstractEight hundred and six medical and surgical patients who were hospitalized via the emergency ward were followed over their entire inpatient stays and rated in anterograde, double-blind fashion for inpatient incidents (falls, medication errors, other). Injuries were minor but affected 2.2% of admissions, a figure which is strikingly similar to studies in other hospitals. There was a statistical trend toward a higher-than-normal risk of hazardous in-hospital incidents for males age 20 to 40 admitted because of injury and for medically ill females over 60 years old.
