Introduction: Understanding the impact of non-pharmaceutical COVID-19 interventions (NPIs) on road safety has become increasingly important to uncover the unintended consequences of the pandemic. This study explores how NPIs influenced alcohol-related and speed-related traffic collisions, including fatalities and serious injuries, in five cities of the province of Québec, Canada: Montréal, Québec, Laval, Longueuil and Sherbrooke.

Methods: We performed Poisson interrupted time-series analyses using daily traffic fatality and injury data from 2015 to 2022, to assess the change in rate expressed per 10 000 population.

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are becoming increasingly significant in our search for improved biotherapeutics. RNA-based treatments offer high specificity, targeted delivery, and potentially lower-cost options for various debilitating human diseases. Despite these benefits, there are still relatively few FDA-approved RNA-based therapies, with the notable exceptions being the mRNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines, which are delivered using lipid nanoparticle (LNP) systems.

Introduction: Despite international commitment to achieving the end of HIV as a public health threat, progress is off-track and existing gaps have been exacerbated by COVID-19's collision with existing pandemics. Born out of models of political accountability and historical healthcare advocacy led by people living with HIV, community-led monitoring (CLM) of health service delivery holds potential as a social accountability model to increase the accessibility and quality of health systems. However, the effectiveness of the CLM model in strengthening accountability and improving service delivery relies on its alignment with evidence-based principles for social accountability mechanisms.

Mopeds are small and move unpredictably, making them difficult for other drivers to perceive. This lack of visibility, coupled with the minimal protection that mopeds provide, can lead to serious crashes, particularly when the rider is not wearing a helmet. This paper explores the association between helmet usage and injury severity among moped riders involved in collisions with other vehicles.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze changes in craniomaxillofacial trauma incidence, causes, demographics, and treatment across three phases: before, during, and after COVID-19.
  • Results showed a significant decrease in facial fractures and soft tissue injuries in 2020 compared to 2019, with a notable reduction in certain types of injuries and operative treatments during the pandemic.
  • By 2021, injuries rebounded but remained slightly lower in 2022 compared to pre-pandemic levels, highlighting shifts in injury mechanisms and demographics during and post-pandemic.
