Download or read book Injury Epidemiology Fourth edition written by Leon S. Robertson, Ph.D. and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on injuries is a high priority to inform public policy that reduces deaths, hospitalizations and associated costs. Principles for research design and analysis of injury incidence and severity are emphasized. Review of extant surveillance data reveals numerous flaws that must be changed to increase usefulness of the data. Research designs of studies of injury causation and evaluation of countermeasures are often inappropriate and mislead analytic and injury control efforts. Appendices to chapters illustrate research projects that influenced public policy affecting the reduction of motor vehicle fatalities per population by half in the U.S. The principles illustrated by these studies can be applied to other types of injury.

Download or read book Epidemiology of Musculoskeletal Injuries in Standardbred Racehorses on PEI written by Jamye Rouette and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musculoskeletal injuries are an important contributor to poor performance and wastage in Standardbred horses used in harness racing and a source of pain and discomfort. The purpose of the study was to determine associations between risk factors and musculoskeletal injuries. A longitudinal epidemiological study of musculoskeletal injuries in a population of Standardbred racehorses on PEI was designed. A total of 10 trainers were recruited and their horses were followed over one year from May 2017 to May 2018. Monthly information was collected from 153 Standardbred horses during the study period. On average, each horse was followed for 4.4 months. Most of the horses (85%) included in the study were between two and four years of age, and there were 73 females, 66 geldings and 12 males (intact) in the study population. Horses were in good body condition, 98% of horses scored between 4 and 6 for Body Condition Score (BCS) out of a 1-9 scale. Forty-five injury events were recorded over a total of 799 visits. This included new injuries, horses that were still classified as injured and repeated injuries recorded during each visit (visit prevalence=5.6%). The incidence rate of injury was 2.19 per horse-month at risk. Seventeen new injuries occurred in pacers (none in trotters) over the 12-month study period, representing a horse level incidence risk of 23%. Forty-one percent of injuries occurred during a race, with 53% occurring during training and 6% during jogging. Fourteen horses had experienced a previous injury prior to enrolment and three of these horses experienced a new injury during the study period. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) models were built to investigate associations of horse, track and trainer factors with the probability of injury. An exchangeable correlation structure was used to account for the repeated measurements on each horse. Unconditional associations between selected variables and the outcome were completed to screen for potential associations. Due to the low sample size and the low number of injuries recorded during the study period, only predictors that had an unconditional association with a p-value ≤0.2 were included in the results and discussion. The 17 new injuries consisted of seven bone, eight soft tissue, and two cases of synovitis that occurred while the horses were in training or racing. There were mild to severe injuries for bone and soft tissue injuries, and one mild and one severe joint injury. The severe injuries included pastern and sesamoid fractures, damage to the suspensory ligament, and injury to the middle carpal joint. Horses with mild to moderate injuries had between three and 90 days off from training. Horses with more severe injuries required up to eight months to recover or left the study. Significant risk factors identified included: speed at which the horse is trained, previous injury, and conformational faults of offset knees and pelvic asymmetry. The observed number of injuries was much lower than expected therefore the study might have a lack of power to detect significant associations. However, the main risk factors identified provide useful information for improving and guiding management practices. The training time has the potential to be modified to minimize the risk of injury. Training at times greater than 2:15 min/mile was associated with a risk of injury. Therefore, modifying training, perhaps introducing a better balance of slow and fast training may help to reduce the risk of injury. Previous studies have detected that increased speed in training was a significant risk factor for injury. The results from this study provide new information for trainers and owners and can be used to improve management practices. As the present study was completed in one province with a small study population, further studies are required to continue to identify risk factors for injury in Standardbred racehorses.
Download or read book Gender and Equestrian Sport written by Miriam Adelman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together studies from various disciplines of the social sciences and humanities ( anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, history and literary theory) that shed light on the equestrian world as a historically gendered and highly dynamic field of contemporary sport and culture. From high level international dressage and jumping, polo and the turf, to the rodeo world of the Americas and popular forms of equestrian sport and culture, we are introduced to a range of issues that are played out at local and global, national and international levels. Students and scholars of gender, culture and sport will find much of interest in this original look at contemporary issues such as “engendered” (women’s and men’s) identities/subjectivities as equestrians, representations of girls, horses and the world of adventure in juvenile fiction; the current “feminization” of particular equestrian activities (and where boys and men stand in relation to this); how broad forms of social inequality and stratification play themselves out within gendered equestrian contexts; men and women and their relation to horses within the framework of current discussions on the relation of animals to humans (which may include not only love and care, but also exploitation and violence), among others. Singular contributions show how equestrian activities contribute to historical and current constructions of embodied “femininities” and “masculinities”, reflecting a world that has been moving “beyond the binaries” while continuing to be enmeshed in their persistent and contradictory legacy.

Download or read book Pelvic Ring Fractures written by Axel Gänsslen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides in-depth coverage of all aspects of pelvic ring fractures and their management. The opening chapters supply essential information on surgical anatomy, biomechanics, classification, clinical evaluation, radiological diagnostics, and emergency and acute management. The various operative techniques, including navigation techniques, that have been established and standardized over the past two decades are then presented in a step-by-step approach. Readers will find guidance on surgical indications, choice of approaches, reduction and fixation strategies, complication management, and optimization of long-term results. Specific treatment concepts are described for age-specific fractures, including pediatric and geriatric injuries, and secondary reconstructions. Pelvic ring fractures represent challenging injuries, especially when they present with concomitant hemodynamic instability. This book will help trauma and orthopaedic surgeons at all levels of experience to achieve the primary treatment aim of anatomic restoration of the bony pelvis to preserve biomechanical stability and avoid malunion with resulting clinical impairments.

Download or read book World Report on Child Injury Prevention written by M. M. Peden and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.
