Abstract The mortality of road accidents quadruples when, in addition to motorists, a motorcyclist is also involved. higher influenced by the greater exposure rider injuries during impact. This problem can be mitigated reducing, even slightly, impact’s speed. Bench tests carried out previous studies showed considerable influence inflation pressure on properties motorcycle tires. It could theref...

We report a case of simultaneous bipolar dorsal dislocation the interphalangeal joints second left finger following an occupational accident. The treatment was Orthopaedic by syndactylization after reduction external manoeuvre for three weeks. At last follow-up, joint mobility identical to normal.

I read with interest the article entitled Converting apo-geotropic into geotropic lateral canalolithiasis by head-pitching manoeuvre in the sitting position by Califano et al. 1. The Authors describe their experience in transforming the apogeotropic LSC BPPV (Lateral Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) into a geo-tropic one performing " a quick 60° forward exion and a slow ...

Oesophageal perforation following blunt trauma is rare and accounts for less than 10% of all oesophageal ruptures. Review of published reports revealed only two cases of isolated oesophageal perforation after minor blunt trauma, and these were as a direct result of the Heimlich manoeuvre. This paper describes a case of perforation of the oesophagus as an isolated injury following blunt minor tr...

Dislocation of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) secondary to a seizure is rare. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman, who presented with a left TMJ dislocation during a status epilepticus. The airway was protected until reduction. A bimanual relocation by Nelaton's manoeuvre was attempted successfully.

ERECTOR SPINAE REFLEX STUDIES IN HEALTHY SUBJECTS REVEALED TWO RESPONSES: a 12·0±1·6 ms latency, oligosynaptic response, and a 30 to 50 ms latency response with polysynaptic reflex characteristics. There was a silent period after the first and second responses. The effect of limb position, trunk, neck, postural changes, Jendrassik manoeuvre and vibration on both responses were also evaluated.
