conclusions the result of the present study confirmed that students participating in different organized sports at high school level are at a very high risk of getting orodental injury. hence knowledge and education regarding prevention of traumatic injuries is of paramount importance. results 30.3% (n = 335) of students suffered from orodental injuries. a higher number of girls had injury (32%...

aims: needle stick accidents are a serious health risk for blood-borne infections among health care workers. this study was conducted to evaluate the frequency of needle stick injuries in health care workers and its related factors. instrument & methods: this cross-sectional study was carried on hcws of shahid beheshti hospital of kashan city, iran (270 individuals), from september 2013 to marc...

road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death and disability in the world. so, the aim of current study was investigated the epidemiologic survey of road traffic injuries in patients admitted in al-jalil hospital in aq-qala. this study was conducted on 5774 patients during 2007-2012, to evaluate the profile of 2784 injury patients due to road traffic accidents, admitted in al- jalil hosp...

results during january 2002 to december 2009, 213835 injured cases were admitted to the trauma unit. the number of attendants increased every year from 9.3% from the total cases in all study period in 2002 up to 15.3% in 2009 with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000). young adults aged 20 - 29 years were the most common group affected by injuries (22.2%). male to female ratio was ...

early prediction of ongoing hemorrhage may reduce mortality via the earlier delivery of blood products, adequate orientation of the patient in a dedicated highly specialized and trained infrastructure, and by earlier correction of acute traumatic coagulopathy. we identified 14 scores or algorithms developed for the prediction of ongoing hemorrhage and the need for massive transfusion in severe ...

conclusions we can conclude that the surveillance presented to our injured group probably had some defects that need to be revised in therapeutic services to enhance survival requirements. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of trauma cases using the trauma score and the injury severity score (triss) model and then comparing this with the results of a major trauma outco...

context groin injuries are among the most common injuries co-existing with sports. the aim of this review was to outline the epidemiology and identify risk factors, as well as examine preventative and interventional measures for reducing the occurrence of this form of injury among athletes. evidence acquisition an electronic, systematic search for relevant keywords, either separately or in comb...

in this paper, the stability of a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (fg-mee) micro-beam under actuation of electrostatic pressure is studied. for this purpose euler-bernoulli beam theory and constitutive relations for magneto-electro-elastic (mee) materials have been used. we have supposed that material properties vary exponentially along the thickness direction of the micro-beam. gov...

background: the use of electric current during application of etch-and-rinse adhesive systems has been recently introduced to decrease microleakage. this study investigated the effects of an electric field produced by an experimental device for the application of a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive on moist dentin surface. methods: sixty freshly extracted human premolars were used for this study...
