Retractable type fall arresters are very effective personal equipment protecting against falls from a height. These devices are used under different atmospheric conditions and in the presence of various types of industrial pollution. For this reason appropriate locking after conditioning simulating extreme conditions of a worksite is one of the essential characteristics of retractable type fall...

The data from 40 patients with essential hypertension treated with oxprenolol alone have been used to analyse the falls of blood pressure and heart rate. Blood pressure and heart rate did not fall further as the daily dose was increased above 160 mg. The range of fall in mean pressure was from 0 to 40 mmHg and there was no clear separation into response groups. Pressure falls were unrelated to ...

Head injury is one of the most important types of injury and is responsible for most of the deaths due to trauma. Low-income and middle-income countries face with more risk factors, but they still lack adequate health-care capacity to deal with complications. Trauma literally means the damage and injury, and head injury was defined as physical damage to the brain or skull caused by external for...

In ballistic deposition (BD), (d+1)-dimensional particles fall sequentially at random towards an initially flat, large but bounded d-dimensional surface, and each particle sticks to the first point of contact. For both lattice and continuum BD, a law of large numbers in the thermodynamic limit establishes convergence of the mean height and surface width of the interface to constants h(t) and w(...

OBJECTIVE To assess radiological outcome of management of calcaneal fractures. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data of calcaneal fractures managed between February , 2008 and February, 2014 Cases were identified through medical records, and X-rays were reviewed through digital radiology archive.

BACKGROUND We aimed to analyse the frequency and patterns of fall-related injuries presenting to the emergency departments (EDs) across Pakistan. METHODS Pakistan National Emergency Departments surveillance system collected data from November 2010 to March 2011 on a 24/7 basis using a standardized tool in seven major EDs (five public and two private hospitals) in six major cities of Pakistan....

Introduction This study describes the relationship between falls from standing height, or greater, and mortality in ambulance-transported patients with major trauma falls. Methods Road ambulance records 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2016 were linked WA State Trauma Registry identify trauma. Results Of who fell level, 114/460 (25%) died within 30 days, compared 47/222 (21%) height (p=0.64). Conc...
