Scottish academy rugby players' lived experiences of career-related traumatic injuries and injury rehabilitation: an interpretative phenomenological analysis
… sport. Consequently, injury rates are high, and injuries become an inevitable part of a player’s career. There has been major criticism of the sports governing bodies around player welfare and sufficient support for injured players. It is therefore important to understand the injury experiences …

Exploring recovery and rehabilitation experiences of adults with major and moderate non-neurological traumatic injuries in the north of Scotland.
Traumatic injuries can have a significant impact on individuals' short-term and long-term health outcomes. The introduction of trauma networks internationally has improved the survival of individuals with severe physical injuries. With more individuals surviving traumatic injuries, the focus of …

The severity of stages estimation during hemorrhage using error correcting output codes method
… The computer-aided decision making system for traumatic injuries is one type of such systems that supplies suggestive opinions when dealing with the injuries resulted from accidents, battle, or illness. The functions may involve judging the type of illness, allocating the wounded according to …

Understanding Skeletal Injury Patterns in Falls From Heights
… influence of extrinsic variables on overall traumatic injuries while the relationship between intrinsic variables and fractured elements per individual did not have a significant relationship. This research is demonstrative of comprehensive and multidisciplinary explorations of injury …

Baseline Prevalence Study of Hendrich II Fall-Risk Assessment Tool at a Local Community Hospital
… fall in hospitals; 30%–35% of those sustain injuries, and 20% of falls will cause serious traumatic injuries. Yet, research shows that close to one-third of these falls could be prevented. This paper presents the analyses of two fall-risk tools, Hendrich II fall risk model (HFRM II) and PMAT, …

What makes war? Assessing Iron Age warfare through mortuary behaviour and osteological patterns of violence.
… lack of treatment by analyzing the patterns of traumatic injuries at sites from two distinct regions in Iron Age Britain (East Yorkshire and Hampshire). The human remains from these sites show clear markers of interpersonal violence. When the remains are placed in context with the mortuary …

Investigating Cognitive Functioning in a Sample of Spinal Cord Injury Inpatients, in Relation to the Cognitive Demands of their Specialized Rehabilitation Program: A Pilot Exploratory Study
… mediators for cognitive pathology (e.g., focal traumatic injuries, HIV-associated non-traumatic injuries), which render questionable the local generalizability of existing research evidence. There are no South African studies on cognitive dysfunction related to SCI, and research in this area …

The Bio-Mechanical Development and Kinematic Evaluation of Zone I and Zone II Injuries and their Corresponding Surgical Repair Techniques using an In-Vitro Active Finger Motion Simulator: A Cadaveric Study
… in-vitro studies involving zone I and II injuries and repairs were evaluated where joint motion kinematics, tendon loads, work of flexion (WOF), and volar plate strains were measured. Strains, tendon load, and WOF increased with each progressive injury simulation. Joint kinematics were …

TRAUMATIC ORTHOPEDIC DISEASES IN UNOWNED CATS: TEACHING PERFORMANCE INVESTIGATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE TRAINING AND COHORT CLINICAL STUDY.
… in unowned cats, frequently resulting in traumatic orthopedic and craniomaxillofacial injuries. However, the current veterinary literature lacks epidemiological data and prognostic factors for unowned cats suffering from such injuries. Craniomaxillofacial fractures, a common sequela of …

Incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in professional dancers
… increases the risk of developing overuse or traumatic injuries and may compromise the longevity of dancers' careers. Relevant research, particularly in the South African context, is needed to provide recommendations on the intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to musculoskeletal …

In vivo Knee Kinematics and Cartilage Recovery of Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
<p>Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common knee injuries. Unfortunately, the prevention programs have not significantly reduced these traumatic injuries, and debilitating repercussions (i.e. pain, meniscal degeneration, post-traumatic osteoarthritis) occur even after …

A novel osteochondral composite consisting of a self-assembling peptide hydrogel and 3D printed polycaprolactone scaffold : potential for articular cartilage repair
… diseases, such as osteoarthritis, and traumatic injuries are both prominent causes of cartilage defects. Due to its avascular nature, adult human cartilage displays limited capacity for regeneration. Current surgical treatments to induce a spontaneous repair response rely on access to …

Investigating cytokine biomarkers as early predictors of poor clinical outcome following major trauma
… economic burden. Globally, the mostcommon traumatic injuries are acquired through penetrating wounds, blunt injuries or burnmechanisms. Recent reports from the UK suggest a significant change in the demographicsof major trauma. The typical major trauma patient is older, with a slight …

Application of self-rolled-up membrane technology for enhanced neuron guidance and alignment
… sclerosis, as well as sensory neuropathies, and traumatic injuries can be incredibly debilitating. Neurological deficits have been identified as the leading cause contributing to disability adjusted life years in the United States, meaning they lead to more years of healthy life lost to disease …

Characterization of the early stages of long bone regeneration in fractures and critical size defects in Xenopus Laevis
Traumatic injuries or cancer irradiation can cause critical sized defects in long bones. Regeneration capabilities of most mammals in their long bones are robust in small defects such as fractures but diminish in large defects due to lack of proper cellular cues. A small animal in vivo model has …

Microfluidic and optogenetic technologies to model spinal cord development and neuromuscular junction formation and function
… genetic disorders, or as a result of traumatic injuries, lead to highly incapacitating or even lethal malformation and conditions. Microfabricated platforms and optogenetic technologies have proven to be valuable tools to control the microenvironment, biochemical cues and the …

Evaluation of the Role of Endogenous Factor XIII as a Determinant of Bleeding-Related Outcomes and Death Among Severely Injured Patients
… the number one preventable cause of death after traumatic injuries. The body limits blood loss by reducing clot destruction with coagulation factors such as factor XIII (FXIII). Lower serum FXIII levels can cause reduced clot stability and premature clot breakdown. We hypothesize that lower FXIII …
