Objectives: While return to sport (RTS) has been well studied in young athletes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, there is a paucity of literature on RTS following reconstructive surgery for multi-ligament knee injury (MLKI). The purpose this study assess level MLKI 23 years old or younger at the time and evaluate factors associated with RTS. Methods: This was retrospective...

This paper proposes a new spatial multivariate count model to jointly analyze the traffic crashrelated counts of pedestrians and bicyclists by injury severity. The modeling framework is applied to predict injury counts at a Census tract level, based on crash data from Manhattan, New York. The results highlight the need to use a multivariate modeling system for the analysis of injury counts by r...

results a significant decrease in apoptotic cells and increase in proliferative reaction were observed in the i/r + hbo group compared to the i/r group. conclusions we demonstrated that hbo suppressed apoptosis, which caused inflammation after renal i/r, and promoted tubular cell regeneration. hbo has protective effects against aki caused by renal i/r through the inhibition of apoptosis. materi...

OBJECTIVE To develop statistical models to predict lung function and respiratory muscle strength from personal and lesion characteristics of individuals with motor complete spinal cord injury. DESIGN Cross-sectional, multi-centre cohort study. SUBJECTS A total of 440 individuals with traumatic, motor complete spinal cord injury, time post-injury ≥ 6 months, lesion level C4-T12, underwent me...

In this prospective study of 45 patients, we tested the hypothesis that markedly elevated levels of plasma von Willebrand antigen (vWf-Ag) a marker of endothelial cell injury, might predict the development of acute lung injury in patients with nonpulmonary sepsis syndrome. Acute lung injury was quantified on a four-point scoring system. At the time of entry into the study, none of the 45 patien...

OBJECTIVES Injury is a major public health problem. While the impacts of injury on the injured person are well documented, there is relatively little knowledge about the impacts of injury on those individuals and groups in the community connected to the injured person. This study seeks to describe this breadth of research using a meta-review methodology. STUDY DESIGN Systematic meta-review. ...
