Methods: A COVID-19 questionnaire was designed by a task group within COST-funded OMEGA-NET and sent to occupational health experts of 37 countries in WHO European region, with a last update in April 2022.
Results: The questionnaire was filled out by experts from 35 countries.
Introduction: Road traffic injuries are a significant issue for society in the twenty-first century, but public health experts frequently ignore them despite the fact that massive and coor-dinated efforts are required for their effective and long-term prevention. Human factors and poor driving performance are the most significant contributors to car accidents globally, as shown by a series of studies exploring the causes of traffic road accidents. Since road safety is a key concern in developing countries, our research focuses on the car driver behavioral risk factors in the Republic of Moldova.

- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a big health problem around the world, especially for young people and the elderly, often caused by road accidents.
- A study in Chisinau looked at 150 TBI patients from two hospitals and found most injuries were from falls or traffic accidents, mainly affecting men and people living in cities.
- The results can help hospitals plan better resources and create safety campaigns to prevent these injuries in at-risk groups.
The number of paediatric patients living with a prolonged Disorder of Consciousness (DoC) is growing in high-income countries, thanks to substantial improvement in intensive care. Life expectancy is extending due to the clinical and nursing management achievements of chronic phase needs, including infections. However, long-known pharmacological therapies such as amantadine and zolpidem, as well as novel instrumental approaches using direct current stimulation and, more recently, stem cell transplantation, are applied in the absence of large paediatric clinical trials and rigorous age-balanced and dose-escalated validations.

Much of this burden may be preventable with faster intervention, including reducing the time to definitive care. This study examines the relationship between traumatic brain injury severity and time to definitive care in major trauma hospitals in three low-middle-income countries.

A disproportionately large increase is predicted in low- and middle-income countries, which have brain injury rates 3 times higher than high-income countries. The aim of this study was to identify current TBI practices and treatment capacity in 3 low- and middle-income countries: Republic of Armenia, Georgia, and Republic of Moldova.
