  1. 16. A multivariate approach to the interpretation of patterns in homicidal and suicidal sharp force fatalities

    Författare :Thore Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Forensic medicine; homicide; suicide; Multivariate statistical analysis; PCA; PLS-DA; trauma pathology; sharp injury.;

    Sammanfattning : Sharp force injury is in Sweden as in many other European countries the leading cause of homicidal deaths. Sharp force suicide, constitutes almost as many fatalities and sometimes a difficult differential diagnosis. An objective of this thesis is to identify and quantify variables indicating suicide or homicide. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Studies of myocardial ischaemia followed by reperfusion : new experimental models and their application

    Författare :Yozo Uriuda; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :myocardial infarction; myocardial ischaemia; reperfusion injury; animal experiment; rat; pig; dog; coronary venous retroinfusion; synchronised coronary venous retroperfusion; thrombosis; thrombolysis; inogatran; endothelin;

    Sammanfattning : Despite great efforts to reduce morbidity and mortality in ischaemic heart disease, this is still the most common cause of death in the industrialised countries. To improve the management of such patients, further knowledge is needed of the pathophysiology of ischaemic heart disease. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Priorities and potential of pedestrian protection : accident data, experimental tests and numerical simulations of car-to-pedestrian impacts

    Författare :Rikard Fredriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pedestrian disability and fatality as a consequence of car crashes is a large global health problem. To introduce maximally effective car-based countermeasures it is important to understand which injuries are most common and from which car parts they originate. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Mathematical Simulation of Vehicle-Pedestrian Collisions: Influence of Vehicle Impact Speed and Front-End Structure on the Dynamic Responses of Child and Adult Pedestrians

    Författare :Xuejun Liu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; child pedestrian; impact biomechanics; mathematical model; vehicle front-end structure; safety countermeasure; impact speed; parametric study; scaling method;

    Sammanfattning : The development of effective countermeasures for pedestrian protection requires an understanding of how the impact speed and front-end design of the vehicle influence the injury risks of pedestrians. Because of the high involvement of children in pedestrian accidents, there is also a need for child pedestrian mathematical models. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Car-to-Car Side Impacts: Occupant Injuries, Test Methods, and the Development and Evaluation of Protective Systems

    Författare :Yngve Håland; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The present work addresses the problem of injuries following car-to-car side collisions. The injuries in this type of impact have been evaluated to form the basis for the development of test methods and for the principles of protective systems. Side impacts give rise to relatively more severe injuries than frontal impacts. LÄS MER
