   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; causal inference; epidemiology; injury; time series analysis; impact evaluation; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och Miljöstudier;

   Sammanfattning : Injuries have emerged as one of the biggest public health issues of the 21th century. Yet, the causal effects of injury control strategies are often questioned due to a lack of randomized experiments. LÄS MER

3. 17. Bicycle trauma and it‘s consequences

   Författare :Evelyne Zibung Hofmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The popularity to ride a bicycle is increasing worldwide and significant political efforts are made to promote cycling. To bike to work is generally seen as a health-conscious and environment friendly way of commuting. Bicyclists, however, are vulnerable road users and in a crash, the risk of injury is substantial.

4. 18. Searching for causal effects of road traffic safety interventions : applications of the interrupted time series design

   Författare :Carl Bonander; Ragnar Andersson; Finn Nilson; Claes Tingvall; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Causal inference; Repeated measures; Methodology; Econometrics; Injury Epidemiology; Vulnerable Road Users; Time series analysis; Risk- och Miljöstudier; Risk and Environmental Studies;

   Sammanfattning : Traffic-related injuries represent a global public health problem, and contribute largely to mortality and years lived with disability worldwide. Over the course of the last decades, improvements to road traffic safety and injury surveillance systems have resulted in a shift in focus from the prevention of motor vehicle accidents to the control of injury events involving vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists and moped riders.

7. 20. On neck load among helicopter pilots : effects of head worn equipment, whole body vibration and neck position

   Författare :Marcus Thuresson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Biomechanics; cervical spine; electromyography; head-worn equipment; helicopter pilots; laboratory; male; mechanical load; neck load; night vision goggles; rotary wing pilots; statistics; transmissibility; whole body vibration.;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Helicopter pilots complain of pain originating from the neck region. The causes are still basically unknown, but the ergonomic situation when flying a helicopter, with unfavorable load caused by static neck and body positions, whole-body vibration and heavy head-worn equipment, has been suggested as a risk factor.
