    Nyckelord :Head Injuries; Helmet; Injury Prevention; Motorcycle; Test Standard; Finite Element Method; Applied Medical Technology; Tillämpad medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : Head injury is the leading cause of death and major trauma for users of powered two-wheelers (PTWs). Helmet use can prevent and reduce head injuries when a crash is inevitable. However, today’s motorcycle helmets do not protect equally against all types of head injuries. LÄS MER

  3. 42. Time Trends in Bone Mass and Fracture Incidence in Children

    Författare :Erika Bergman; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fractures; epidemiology; etiology; distal forearm; hand; bone mineral density; BMD; time trends; children; boys; girls;

    Sammanfattning : Background: It is currently estimated that one third of all children will sustain fractures. However, there may also be time trends in pediatric fracture incidence. When predicting future fracture incidence, it is further important to evaluate bone mass, as low bone mass is a strong predictor of fractures. LÄS MER

    Författare :Francisco Tercero; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Injury; surveillance; research methods; injury indicators; developing countries; Nicaragua;

    Sammanfattning : About 16,000 people around the world die every day from injuries. For every person that dies, several thousands more are injured, many suffering with permanent disabilities. However, like many other health problems, the magnitude and pattern of injuries in a certain population are often difficult to assess. LÄS MER
