We present this case because injuries caused by blank cartridge pistol shots may be fatal and are rarely encountered in emergency departments. A 15-year-old boy was brought to the emergency department with a wound on his abdomen caused b...

Shot Moment in Optoelectronic Training in the Air-Pistol Shooting

The aim of the research is to study the interdependence between the shot moment parameter and the result in shooting simulator training. The article considers the problem of the relationships between a shot moment parameter and a virtual result in training with the SCATT optoelectronic shooting simulator. Special technique is proposed and the experimental investigation with the parallel fixatio...

Simultaneous records of intravascular pressures and of the sounds demonstrate that the sounds generally precede the major rise in intravascular pressure. These obs...
