The article deals with the issue of road safety. The aim is to analyze the accident rate on the roads of rkutsk region and assess the risk of road traffic accidents (RTA). The research is based on statistical data. A comparative analysis of the risks of road accidents and the risks of death of road users is carried out. The risk of death in accidents is higher in Slyudyanka district than in Irkutsk region, which is due to the complex route and mountainous areas. The damage caused by road traffic accidents is increasing every year.

ABSTRACTIntroductionMalawi has the highest rates of mortality directly or indirectly associated with burn injuries in Southern Africa. There is however no published literature on risk factors of mortality among adult patients.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cross sectional audit records of patients admitted at the burns unit of Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) between the years 2007 and 2017. Death due to burns was our outcome of interest. We collected patient data including demographic information, details of the burn injury and its management and determined how these factors were associated with the risk of death using Person Chi square tests in a univariate analysis and likelihood ratio tests in a multivariate logistic regression model. We also determined the odds ratios of death within the categories of the risk factors after adjusting for important variables using a logistic regression model.ResultsAn analysis of 500 burns patient records showed that 132(26.4%) died during the 10-year period. The lethal area for 50% of burns (LA50) was 28.75% and mortality reached 100% at 40% total burn surface area. The following variables were found to be significantly associated with mortality after controlling for confounders: scalds (OR 0.13; 95% CI 0.05-0.33; <0.0001), increasing total burn surface area (p<0.0001), time lapse to hospital presentation between 48 hours and one week(OR 0.27; 95%CI 0.11-0.68; <0.0001), inhalation burns (OR 5.2; 95% CI 2.0-13.3 p 0.0004) and length of hospital stay greater than two months (OR 0.04 95, CI 0.01-0.15; P<0.0001).ConclusionsRisk factors for mortality are connected by their association with post-burn hypermetabolism. Further studies to are needed to identify the best and cost-effective ways of preventing death in burn patients.

Risk Of Death

Vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent COVID-19. The aim of the present study was to assess the incidence of COVID-19 hospitalizations after vaccination, as well as the effect of prior vaccination on hospitalization outcomes among patients with COVID-19. We analyzed and compared all consecutive patients, with or without prior vaccination, who were admitted to our hospital network due to COVID-19 from January to April 2021. Our primary outcome was to identify and describe cases of COVID-19 hospitalized after vaccination. We also utilized a multivariate logistic regression model to investigate the association of previous vaccination with hospitalization outcomes. We identified 915 consecutive patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 with 91/915 (10%) previously vaccinated with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Utilizing our multivariate logistic regression model, we found that prior vaccination, regardless of the number of doses or days since vaccination, was associated with decreased mortality (aOR 0.44, 95% CI: 0.20–0.98) when compared to unvaccinated individuals. Our study showed that COVID-19 related hospitalization after vaccination may occur to a small percentage of patients, mainly those who are partially vaccinated. However, our findings underline that prior vaccination, even when partial, is associated with a decreased risk of death. Ongoing vaccination efforts should remain an absolute priority.

Background: In Bangladesh fatality rate due to road traffic accidents is rising sharply day by day. At least 2297 people were killed and 5480 were injured in road traffic accidents within 1st six months of 2017.Whereas in the previous year at 2016 at least 1941 people were killed and 4794 were injured within the 1st six months. No survey has been reported in Bangladesh yet correlating ADHD as a reason of impulsive driving which ends up in a road crash.

COVID 19 is undeniably one of the deadliest diseases that humanity has ever seen. It continues to affect the lives and livelihood of people appallingly across the world. Maximum discussions focus towards the apprehension of catching the infection, dwelling in homes, overpopulated nursing homes and shut down of all kinds. But, here let’s discuss the positive side of COVID 19 pandemic.As COVID 19 has spread its influence all over the world, affected countries have either announced lockdown or have implemented severe restrictions in their respective countries. Because of this, everyone dwells in their homes. Thus, exercising social distancing and functioning from home. All of the above is directed at restricting the transmission of coronavirus and expectantly ostracising the fatality from COVID 19. These transformations have also brought about some unanticipated emanations; some good things have come out of the pandemic as well. Positive effects of COVID 19 are seen on reduced road traffic, and road traffic accidents lowered levels of air pollution which has to lead to lowered heart attack rates and rejuvenating environment. Crime rates have fallen, and expenses are reduced in most places. Community action, communication amongst families, behaviour, sanitation, hygiene, online and distance education has positively impacted by COVID 19 pandemic. COVID 19 despite a bane for humans, can be thought of a boon for living beings. The habitats and elements have been purified with the stringent use of petrochemical products. To breathe fresh air and to consume purified water is a boon by itself. Now, it is time for humans to lead a caring life to every bounty bestowed on them by Nature. This thoughtful and considerate life will give hope for a healthy, stress-free life.
