Introduction: Limited research describing the pattern of orthopaedic musculoskeletal injuries among gender-based violence (GBV) victims has been conducted in South Africa. With the high prevalence of GBV in our locality, there is a need for healthcare workers to identify this vulnerable population for early management, intervention, and prevention of subsequent assaults. This study aimed to describe the pattern of musculoskeletal injuries resulting from physical assaults due to GBV.

Blunt force trauma (BFT), the injury of the body by forceful impacts such as falls, motor vehicle crashes and collisions, causes damage to bio-organs that can lead to life-threatening situations. To address the unmet need of bioprotection materials for BFT, we developed a novel, liquid nanofoam (LN)-based system. The LN system employs a unique mechanism of energy absorption, i.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common occurrence around the world, associated with a variety of blunt force and torsion injuries affecting all age groups. Most never reach medical attention, and the identification of acute injury and later clearance to return to usual activities is relegated to clinical evaluation-particularly in sports injuries. Advanced structural imaging is rarely performed due to the usual absence of associated acute anatomic/hemorrhagic changes.

Background: The analysis of circumstantial elements in post-mortem examinations is crucial for identifying perpetrators in unarmed close-range homicides. This study explores the forensic analysis of head trauma fatalities related to combat sports, blunt force trauma homicides, and traditional martial arts (TMA), aiming to bridge the gap between historical martial arts documentation and modern forensic pathology.
Materials And Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic literature review and interdisciplinary analysis combining traditional forensic methods with the study of TMA manuscripts and consultations with martial arts experts.
