BACKGROUND It has been suggested that sustained contraction of the deep neck muscles may reduce axial cervical range of motion (CROM) and radial artery blood flow velocity (vrad.art.mean). No studies have reported both phenomena in relation to acute hand, shoulder or neck trauma. PROCEDURES The CROM and vrad.art.mean were measured in 20 police officers prior to and immediately after a 2-hours...

PURPOSE Drivers adopt smaller safety margins when pulling out in front of motorcycles compared with cars. This could partly account for why the most common motorcycle/car accident involves a car violating a motorcyclist's right of way. One possible explanation is the size-arrival effect in which smaller objects are perceived to arrive later than larger objects. That is, drivers may estimate the...

It is usually a late finding during treatment of a motorcyclist brought to the emergency room because of multiple trauma injury and is sometimes demonstrated in the computerized tomographic (CT) scanning of the pelvis. We encountered bilateral dislocation of testes in ...
