Forty-two patients with persistent posttraumatic headache and postconcussion symptomatology following a motor vehicle accident completed the Self-Rating Scale of Memory Functions (SRSM), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and brief memory testing. SRSM scores indicated that patients rated their memory as significantly impaired relative to their preinjury status. SRSM scores were not affected by such factors as age, education, gender, and loss of consciousness. However, significantly depressed patients rated their memory as more impaired on 14 of 18 SRSM items when compared with nondepressed patients. After controlling for depression, SRSM scores correlated significantly with objective performance on several memory tests. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract:Bayesian inferencing as a machine learning technique was evaluated for identifying pre-crash activity and crash type from accident narratives describing 3,686 motor vehicle crashes. It was hypothesized that a Bayesian model could learn from a computer search for 63 keywords related to accident categories. Learning was described in terms of the ability to accurately classify previously unclassifiable narratives not containing the original keywords. When narratives contained keywords, the results obtained using both the Bayesian model and keyword search corresponded closely to expert ratings (P(detection)≥0.9, and P(false positive)≤0.05). For narratives not containing keywords, when the threshold used by the Bayesian model was varied between p>0.5 and p>0.9, the overall probability of detecting a category assigned by the expert varied between 67% and 12%. False positives correspondingly varied between 32% and 3%. These latter results demonstrated that the Bayesian system learned from the results of the keyword searches.


Tracheobronchial foreign bodies are a common problem in clinical practice. We present the case of a patient with three aspirated teeth following a motor vehicle accident.
