Injury prevention is one of the most important and urgent issues in children’s health since the primary cause of death of children is unintentional injury. Injury prevention requires making safe products as well as safe environments by evaluating the risks. This paper proposes a system for presenting and evaluating potential risk of injury by using a biomechanical simulation based on bodygraphi...

Aerodigestive tract burns represent a rare but potentially devastating injury pattern throughout the world. Although the majority of these injuries do not require intervention, these burns have the potential for poor outcomes. Traditionally this disease has been caused by superheated gases found in explosions or fire-related injury. However, as technology advances, it brings novel methods for i...

This study provides an empirical analysis of the injury severity outcomes maritime accidents by exploring influential factors for two underlying states: injury-free state and injury-prone state. The former may reflect generation mechanism with limited potential to result in outcomes, whereas, latter represent when accident falls into category. To account possible presence these regimes, a zero-...

Objective(s): Cardiovascular disease has an important role in mortality caused by lung injury. Emphysema is associated with impaired pulmonary gas exchange efficiency and airflow limitation associated with small airway inflammation. The aim was to evaluate the interactions between lung injury, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. Since gallic acid has antioxidant ...

Previous studies reported that mild inflammation promotes retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival and axonal regeneration after optic nerve (ON) injury with involvement of infiltrating macrophages neutrophils. Here we aimed to evaluate the regulation main inflammatory chemokine pathway CXCL5/CXCR2 in inflammation-mediated RGC mice ON injury. The expressions cellular locations CXCL5 CXCR2 were conf...

Endoscopic radial artery harvesting (ERAH) is a feasible and attractive minimally invasive approach for conduit procurement, however there have been concerns about a potential neurological damage occurring at the harvest limb site secondary to injury of the radial nerve during endoscopic harvesting. We present a case of ERAH in which we evaluated intraoperatively the characteristics of radial n...

Abstract Purpose of Review Fibro-adipogenic progenitors were first characterized in 2010 and later found to contribute significantly muscle regeneration mediate degenerative changes following injury. These also have an influence on the rotator cuff muscle’s response chronic injury which is defined by fibrosis accompanied massive fatty degeneration. The purpose this review highlight progenitor c...

Objective(s): -methyl-D-aspartate NMDA receptor (NMDAR) and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) are involved in the molecular cascade of edema after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are potential targets of studies in pharmacology and medicine. However, their association and interactions are still unknown.Materials and Methods: We established a rat TBI model in this study. The cellular distribution patterns of ...

Esophageal fistula is a rare but devastating complication that may occur after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.1 The mechanism of esophageal injury is not known. Potential mechanisms for injury include direct thermal injury and ischemic injury from damage to the esophageal blood supply. Current ablation strategies use various methods to avoid esophageal injury. We describe an unusual m...
