Data Mining Implementations for Determining Root Causes and Precautions of Occupational Accidents in Underground Hard Coal Mining.

Background: Nowadays, as in every branch of industry, a large amount of data can be collected in mining, both in productivity and occupational safety. It is increasingly essential to transform this data into useful information for enterprises. Data mining is very useful in processing and extracting useful information from the processed data.

Mental Health Support for First Responders Provided Outside of California's Workers' Compensation System.

Objective: Concern about psychiatric injuries for first responders has grown. We examine alternatives to workers' compensation (WC).

Method: We conducted 15 interviews across 5 California departments contracted with non-WC mental health (MH) providers.

Conceptualising the quality experience for independent medical examinations: A narrative review.

Background: An independent medical examination is a unique healthcare assessment conducted by an expert health professional with the aim of providing impartial advice to key stakeholders in workers' compensation schemes regarding a worker's injury or illness. A range of dedicated guidelines provide for best practice at local and national levels, but concerns exist regarding the quality of these encounters for all involved.

Methods: A narrative review was conducted to explore quality principles underpinning practices and reporting of independent medical examinations.

Use of telemedicine for trauma care since the Russian invasion of Ukraine: A qualitative assessment.

Introduction: Ukraine's health and trauma system has been detrimentally impacted since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022. Use of telemedicine became critical to providing timely medical care. As such, the aim of this study was to describe telemedicine's use in the health and trauma system of Ukraine following the full-scale invasion.

The Emergence of MOVES SLC Life-Support System Equipment for En-Route Trauma Care in Ukraine During a Qualitative Assessment.

Introduction: Ukraine's health and trauma system has been detrimentally impacted since the Russian Federation invasion in February 2022. The number and extent of injuries experienced in Ukraine because of trench warfare and high-intensity large-scale combat operations has not been seen in recent conflicts. Understanding attitudes and perceptions around the use of devices and products including MOVES (monitor, oxygen concentrator, ventilator, and suction system) and its use in the large-scale combat operation environment can inform lessons learned for improved prehospital care in Ukraine, as well as in other future conflicts.

Neurocognitive demands reduce jump distance and coordination variability of the injured leg in athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of neurocognitive reliance on jump distance and lower extremity kinematics in individuals who had undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This was achieved by comparing hop performance under standard and neurocognitive conditions.

Methods: Thirty-two patients after ACLR and 32 healthy controls (CTRL) participated.

Hypothermia and the Global War on Terror: 18 Years of Minimal Progress.

Introduction: The association between hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis in trauma is well described. Hypothermia mitigation starts in the prehospital setting; however, it is often a secondary focus after other life-saving interventions. The deployed environment further compounds the problem due to prolonged evacuation times in rotary wing aircraft, resource limitations, and competing priorities.

Using the Kirkpatrick Model to Evaluate the Effect of a Primary Trauma Care Course on Health Care Workers' Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice in Two Vietnamese Local Hospitals: Prospective Intervention Study.

Background: The Primary Trauma Care (PTC) course was originally developed to instruct health care workers in the management of patients with severe injuries in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with limited medical resources. PTC has now been taught for more than 25 years. Many studies have demonstrated that the 2-day PTC workshop is useful and informative to frontline health staff and has helped improve knowledge and confidence in trauma management; however, there is little evidence of the effect of the course on changes in clinical practice.

Work-readiness self report lift capacity test short form.

Background: The Multidimensional Task Ability Profile (MTAP) is a measure of self reported physical work capacity developed for injured workers with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) to determine readiness to return to work.

Objective: This study compared the concurrent validity of a new short form MTAP (MTAP-SF) comprised of 16 lifting and/or carrying items with the MTAP 55-item version. The hypothesis addressed is whether the validity of a version that imposes less respondent burden (MTAP-SF) would be comparable to the more burdensome instrument (MTAP-55).

Upper Limb Function in People With Upper and Lower Limb Loss 8 Years Postinjury: The Armed Services Trauma Outcome Study (ADVANCE) Cohort Study.

Objective: Upper limb (UL) disability in people with UL loss is well reported in the literature, less so for people with lower limb loss. This study aimed to compare UL disability in injured (major trauma) and uninjured UK military personnel, with particular focus on people with upper and lower limb loss.

Methods: A volunteer sample of injured (n = 579) and uninjured (n = 566) UK military personnel who served in a combat role in the Afghanistan war were frequency matched on age, sex, service, rank, regiment, role, and deployment period and recruited to the Armed Services Trauma Rehabilitation Outcome (ADVANCE) longitudinal cohort study.
