Analysis of road traffic accidents and casualties associated with electric bikes and bicycles in Guangzhou, China: A retrospective descriptive analysis.

Introduction: Electric bicycles (e-bikes) and bicycles in large Chinese cities have recently witnessed substantial growth in ridership. According to related accident trends, this study analyzed characteristics and spatial distribution in the period when e-bike-related accidents rapidly increased to propose priority measures to reduce accident casualties.

Methods: For e-bike- and bicycle-related accident data from the Guangzhou Public Security Traffic Management Integrated System, linear regression was used to examine the trends in the number of accidents and age-adjusted road traffic casualties from 2011 to 2021.

Two cases of driver death caused by airbag rupture.

Objective: This article reports two accidents caused by defective Takata airbags ruptured, which led to the deaths of the drivers. This is the first public report on the deaths caused by Takata airbags in China.

Methods: Determine the relationship between the driver death and airbag rupture through autopsy indings and vehicle inspection.

Overview of road traffic injuries among migrant workers in Guangzhou, China, from 2017 to 2021.

Introduction: There are many migrant workers in China's first-tier cities, but little is known about road safety. This paper systematically analysed road traffic injuries and risk factors among migrant workers in Guangzhou, China.

Methods: Road traffic crash data from 2017 to 2021 were obtained from the Guangzhou Public Security Traffic Management Integrated System.

Characteristics of road traffic accident types and casualties in Guangzhou, China, from 2007 to 2020: A retrospective cohort study based on the general population.

Introduction: This study aimed to explore the trend and main influencing factors of road traffic accidents in Guangzhou, China, from 2007 to 2020 and to provide a reference and guidance for government decision-making.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was used to describe road traffic accidents in Guangzhou. According to the population types, all people with road traffic accidents were divided into migrant workers and the control population.

Characteristics of human movement and injury in a side collision between the front of a small car and a bicycle.

Objective: Our research groups have studied the movement and injury characteristics of the human body in a side collision between the front of a small car and a pedestrian. This study discusses the movement and injury characteristics of the human body in a side collision between the front of a small car and bicycle.

Methods: A total of 31 cases of traffic accidents caused by small car collisions when riding a bicycle across a road were collected.

Mechanism of transverse fracture of the skull base caused by blunt force to the mandible.

Transverse fracture of the skull base is common both in the crushing of temporal regions of the skull and in the case of force acting on one temporal region. However, the mechanism of transverse skull base fracture caused by maxillofacial force has not been fully clarified. To provide an injury identification basis for forensic pathologists and clinicians, this paper combines accident reconstruction and finite element analysis methods to study the injury mechanism of an incomplete transverse fracture of skull base after the injured individual's mandible was subjected to violence in a traffic accident.

Analysis of Pedestrian Fractures in Collisions Between Small Cars and Pedestrians Based on Surveillance Videos.

Objective: To discuss the collision relationship and the cause of the fracture caused by traffic accidents in which the front of a small car collides with the side of a pedestrian while braking.

Methods: The surveillance videos of 42 traffic accidents involving the front of a small car colliding with the side of a pedestrian while braking were collected. By analyzing the surveillance videos and the paths, the speed of the collision, the relationship between the vehicle and the pedestrian upon collision, and the movement trajectory of the human body were clearly identified.

Sudden Death from Ischemic Heart Disease While Driving: Cardiac Pathology, Clinical Characteristics, and Countermeasures.

BACKGROUND Sudden death from ischemic heart disease while driving is an important cause of traffic accidents. This study discusses causes of traffic accidents in relation to risk factors for acute myocardial infarction such as hypertension and overwork and provides references for the early prevention and regulation of drivers' health conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data on 21 cases of sudden death by ischemic heart disease while driving from January 2015 to December 2019 were collected.

A virtual reality method for digitally reconstructing traffic accidents from videos or still images.

With an increase in the number of traffic accidents and enhanced attention to the rule of law, technical appraisement to reconstruct traffic accidents is attracting increasing attention. Accident videos are important aspects in identification; however, we cannot reconstruct an accident scene onsite using video for many reasons. In this paper, we introduce a computer-based virtual reality method that can digitally reconstruct a traffic accident.

Transumbilical endoscopic surgery for completely enclosing inguinal hernias in children.

Background/purpose: There has been great interest in natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery in recent years. We report another new approach for pediatric inguinal hernia repair: transumbilical endoscopic surgery (TUES). Compared with the natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery technique, TUES can obtain similar scarless results on the abdomen.
