Among the main causes of TBI, we have traffic accidents, sports, falls, work-related accidents, aggressions, including gunshot wounds, blast injuries and other weapons. Thanks to the improvement in the development of devices to protect the occupants of vehicles and some other preventive measures, a reduction in the rate of mortality associated with TBI has been achieved [2,3], especially in the...

One third of accidents occur in the home, and the age group most at risk is the under 5s. Home appliances play a part in many of these accidents. In 1986, 27 accidents in which a tumble drier was involved were reported to the home accident surveillance system. Most of these injuries resulted from falls off or against the appliance, and only one burn, to a person leaning against the door, was re...

As the number of vehicles continues to grow, more accidents occur most likely due to careless driving of the drivers who do not maintain the safety distance. To assist managers in their tasks of traffic planning, a system for decision support becomes essential. This article aims to describe our interactive control system (ICS), which falls into this category. Such a system should allow, through...

Fall accidents are the second leading cause of accidental death in the United States (after motor vehicle accidents), resulting in more than 25,000 fatalities in 2009 and accounting for nearly 9 million visits to the emergency department (National Safety...

Clavicle fractures in children occur twice as often as in adults. During a child's growth period they account for 10-15% of all fractures sustained. The questions which should be asked are how these fractures are sustained and under which circumstances are the children injured. In the study 256 children with clavicle fractures treated during the period 2008-2013 were analyzed. The underlying ca...

The terminology used to designate falls on the level is broadly based and the accidents concerned are only very rarely defined explicitly. A definition of falls on the level in occupational situations is therefore proposed. We attempt to define the issue represented by the prevention of such accidents on the basis of statistical data, prior to explaining the twin objectives focused on in the fi...
