Scapular fracture is exceptional in children, mainly occurring after high-energy trauma. Radiologic investigations help its diagnosis and classification, which determines management. We report the case of a 14-year-old patient admitted for blunt trauma left shoulder falling from speeding car. The displaced body scapula was made, non-operative treatment indicated carried out four weeks, followed...

Three patients with transient myopia following blunt injury are described with the aid of serial ultrasonography. The cause of refractive change is an increase in the anteroposterior thickness of the crystalline lens, which probably results from oedema of the ciliary body.

We report an unusual case of malocclusion following a history of apparently blunt trauma. No maxillary or mandibular fractures were identified. The malocclusion persisted for several days. Finally computed tomography was performed, which revealed a foreign body in the infratemporal fossa. A 4-cm pencil was extracted from the patient's right temporomandibular joint.

This paper is devoted to numerical modeling of a supersonic flow around blunt body by viscous gas with an admixture relatively large high-inertia particles that, after reflection from the surface, may go beyond shock layer and change structure dramatically. To calculate gas-dynamic interaction moving layer, it important take into account difference in scales body. make computations effective, w...

Twenty-six per cent of adults in the Unites States are obese and trauma remains a major cause of death. We assessed the impact of morbid obesity on mortality in patients with blunt trauma. We reviewed the records of patients with a body mass index 40 kg/m2 or greater injured by blunt trauma from 1993 to 2003 and compared them with a 4:1 control population with a normal body mass index and match...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Previous studies of cervical spine injury involve individual institutions or special populations. There is currently little reliable information regarding natural cervical spine injury patterns after blunt trauma. This substudy of the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study project was designed to accurately assess the prevalence, spectrum, and distribution of cervica...

introduction: blunt neck and laryngeal trauma is rare. since such injuries can be life threatening, their early management remarkably affects the immediate probability of patients’ survival and their long-term quality of life. materials and methods: in this retrospective and descriptive study, medical records of 54 patients with blunt neck and laryngeal trauma, who were referred to imam khomein...

Viscoelasticity weakens the asymmetry of laminar shedding flow behind a blunt body in free domain. In present study, this finding is confirmed by four unsteady viscoelastic flows with asymmetric configuration, i.e., over an inclined flat plate various angles incidence, rotating circular cylinder, cylinder slip boundary distribution, and row eight equally closely spaced cylinders (which can be c...

BACKGROUND In recent years there has been increasing interest shown in the nonoperative management (NOM) of blunt traumatic injury. The growing use of NOM for blunt abdominal organ injury has been made possible because of the progress made in the quality and availability of the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scan and the development of minimally invasive intervention options such as a...
