Abstract This article identifies the gaps in OS&H regulations Omani construction using a critical review and analysis of relevant literature. Four countries United States America (USA), Kingdom (UK), Australia (AUS), South Africa (SA) were then compared to Oman relation selected regulations. The study reveals fall from height is one main causes accidents different sectors however there are ...

in order to evaluate phenological characteristics, yield and yield components of 18 cold tolerant lentil genotypes in fall planting under supplementary irrigation, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design in 2006-2007 at research farm of college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad. irrigation was performed three times: immediately after sowing, 20 days ...

Aim: The most common causes of blunt trauma are traffic accidents and falls from height. Thoracic region complications may be seen in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). aim this study was to examine thoracic developing cases applied with CPR following a fall height no direct chest trauma. Materials Methods: were examined after the exclusion where death occurred an autopsy performed. Results: ...

We describe an infant with an acute subdural hematoma, a fatal head injury, and severe hemorrhagic retinopathy caused by a stairway fall. His cerebral and ocular findings are considered diagnostic of abusive head trauma by many authors. Our literature search of serious injuries or fatalities from stairway or low-height falls involving young children yielded 19 articles of primary data. These ar...

Pilon fractures are complex and difficult-to-treat fractures of the lower extremity that account for about 1% of all lower extremity fractures and up to 10% of tibial fractures. The injury is caused by high energy axial load either from motor vehicle accidents or a fall from height. The treatment of these fractures has caused controversy among surgeons due to mixed outcomes. Here we report a ca...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the epidemiological aspects of proximal humerus fractures and describe the profile of patients with proximal humerus fractures hospitalized and treated at Hospital São Paulo, between 2008 and 2013. METHODS Hospital records were retrospectively analyzed for surgically treated patients diagnosed with proximal humerus fracture. Age, gender, injury mechanism, length of hospit...

Introduction Case Report Discussion References Abstract A case of 28-year-old man with closed fracture dislocation of the radial head following a fall from height is reported. He was treated with radial head excision. The radial head is an important stabilizer of the elbow, thus the rationale of radial head excision in management of radial head fractures should be scrutinized. There is much deb...

In this paper, a two-phase model of air shock wave induced by rock-fall was described. The model was made up of the uniform motion phase (velocity was close to 0 m·s-1) and the acceleration movement phase. The uniform motion phase was determined by experience, meanwhile the acceleration movement phase was derived by the theoretical analysis.A series of experiments were performed to verify the t...

OBJECTIVES In several epidemiological studies of maxillofacial trauma, falls were one of the most frequent causes of facial injury. The aim of this study is to analyse the patterns of fall-related maxillofacial injuries based on the height of the fall. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using a systematic computer-assisted database of patients hospitalised with maxillofacial fractures, only those with fall...
