spinal cord injury (sci)-induced systemic inflammatory response affects multiple organs outside the spi­nal cord. treatment options for such complications are lacking. valproic acid (vpa) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor, acting directly at the level of gene transcription by inhibiting histone deacetylation and making transcription sites more accessible. acetylation of histones is critical to...

The issue of road accidents is an increasing problem in developing countries. This could be due to increasing road traffic/vehicle occupancy. This has been increasing over years. Regulating traffic on roads is an important task. There by reducing accidents in accident prone zones. The accident was drastically increased over a decade from 4% to 31%. This is a alarming issue. The analysis and ide...

background : drivers are vulnerable to musculoskeletal and psychological disorders because of substantially harmful agents in this stressful occupation. this study aims to investigate the influence of driver’s physical and psychological health on the risk of road accidents using fuzzy logic approach. methods : two input variables including musculoskeletal disorders (msds) and mental health, alo...

A new database system was developed by integrating the license data of all drivers in Japan (80 million drivers) with 11 million road traffic accident data from the year 1995 to 2007 and 130 million road traffic violation data from the year 1993 to 2007 to study the relation between accident/violation experience and accident rates. The results of data analysis using the database are as follows;...

iran and neighboring countries have a very high rate of road accidents with thousands of victims per year. in last 20 years, more than half million iranian were killed in road accidents millions suffering from injuries. as you know unintentional inures are a leading cause of death among children and young adult. “shefa” neuroscience research center is working on different scientific researches ...

A study was done on a road in the Western Cape of South Africa, the R44, to investigate the causes of road accidents. The causes of the accidents on this 25km stretch of road were deduced from analysing 404 accident reports and from relationships that were determined with other factors. Risk factors (human-, vehicleand environment factors) are proposed for the 14 accident types that occurred on...

Objective: This paper makes a projection of the vehicle ownership rate to the year 2010 and to use this projection to predict road accident deaths in year 2010. The projection served as an indicator for the Malaysian government to achieve a 4 road accident deaths per 10,000 vehicles safety target in year 2010. Method: The study included the prediction of vehicle ownership and the analysis of pa...
