This paper studies the factors affecting injury severities involving motorcyclists of different age groups (under 25, 25-55, 55 and above) based on random parameter logit model. Data collected from motorcycle crashes in UK between 2017 2020 are utilized. The motorcyclist severity outcomes categorized as follows: minor injury, severe fatal injury. results likelihood ratio tests showed that trans...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), is a clinicopathologic entity characterized by a sudden decrease in kidney function, leading to retention of metabolic waste products and the dysregulation of electrolyte homeostasis (1). Despite our progress in understanding the pathophysiology and a precise clinical definition and staging for diagnosis, AKI remains a global public health concern impacting approximat...

Acute renal failure is defined as a rapid decline in renal function, resulting in retention of uremic toxins, as well as fluid, acid-base and electrolyte imbalances (1). The terminology of acute renal failure has recently been modified in the human literature from ‘acute renal failure’ to ‘acute kidney injury’ (AKI). A similar modification is expected to occur in the veterinary literature as we...

OBJECTIVE Many work in injury prone awkward positions that require adequate flexibility and strength in trunk stabilizer muscle groups. Performance on a functional movement screen (FMS) that assessed those factors was conducted and an intervention was designed. METHODS A battery of FMS tests were performed on 433 firefighters. We analyzed the correlation between FMS performance and injuries a...

Prediction and classification are very important functions for a knowledge discovery system. To improve the traffic safety, a prediction model using a neural network is proposed as part of knowledge discovery enhancement for the Critical Analysis Reporting Environment (CARE). CARE was designed to provide information to assist in the reduction of fatalities, injuries, and economic losses caused ...

IN CAR LATERAL impacts, the shoulder is directly exposed to injuries. These lesions are rarely fatal but produce long term impairments (Frampton, 1997). To develop protection devices, numerical tools such as finite element (FE) body models are used. If the first FE body models represented average males, geometrical personalization methods are now available (Besnault, 1998; Buhmann 2003) and all...

INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections in children that can be associated with renal parenchymal injuries and late scars. Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scan is known as golden standard for detecting acute pyelonephritis (APN) that has a lot of difficulties and limitations. OBJECTIVES we designed this study the accuracy of one inflammat...

The incidence of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery (CS-AKI) ranges from 33% to 94% and is associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. The etiology is suggested to be multifactorial and related to almost all aspects of perioperative management. Numerous studies have reported the risk factors and risk scores and novel biomarkers of AKI have been investigated to facilitate...

Abstract Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI), the most common part of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, is the most frequent cause of death in septic patients admitted to intensive care units. The pathogenesis of sepsisinduced AKI is a controversy area. Whether pre-renal transit AKI or direct tubular injury is the determinant factor for development of permanent renal AKI during sepsis...
