ABSTRACT Total dislocation of the talus has been reported as 0.06% of all dislocations and 2% of all talar fractures. It usually occurs from considerable violence. Total dislocation of the talus is frequently an open injury, or the skin may be tented over the dislocated talus leading to skin slough. Closed total dislocation of talus with posterior process injury is rare. The functional prognosis is poor due to osteonecrosis of the talus which develops in the majority of cases. Review of literature reported successful closed reduction in cases of closed pan-talar dislocation under anesthesia. However, there were few cases where there was difficulty in closed reduction. Operative technique has also been described in different reports of similar cases. Case report We present a case of pan-talar dislocation of the left talus in a 25-year-old road accident victim, with posterior talar process fracture. Reduction of dislocation was attempted in emergency department by external manipulation. Reduction process failed, and hence planned for reduction under anesthesia. It required a open reduction after a unsuccessful closed reduction attempt. The talus after reduction was found to be unstable hence, stabilized with trans-calcaneotalar Steinmann pin. At 1-year follow-up, the right ankle was pain free and stable. Motion was satisfactory. The talus after a follow-up of 1 year did not show any signs of subluxation or avascular necrosis. Conclusion The main obstacle to closed reduction appeared to be talus had button holed through dorsal fascia. The talus after reduction was found to be unstable hence stabilized with trans-calcaneotalar Steinmann pin. The management of the associated fracture will depend on many factors, particularly displacement of the fracture fragments. How to cite this article Kumar MP, Gopinath KM, Kumar BNR, Balaji GAG.

Abstract BackgroundDelay in receiving timely care after road traffic accidents (RTAs) result in higher morbidity and mortality, suggesting need of educational interventions for improving provision of first aid. Based on the theory of planned behaviour (TBP), the present study aims to develop and validate the scale to Measure of Intention to Help Road Accident Victim (MIHRAV) of young adults in a fast urbanizing Indian city.MethodsA cross sectional survey was conducted among the college students of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The initial MIHRAV questionnaire developed for study comprised of 26 self-reported items encompassing four main constructs: intention to help; social norms; attitude and self-efficacy. The validation process included face validity, content validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability analysis. ResultsSix hundred ninety-five college students participated in this study. EFA extracted four factor structure containing 20 items. The CFA yielded good model fit with 19 items, and explained 79% of variance (chi square = 413.359, df = 140, χ2/df = 2.95, CFI = 0.93 and TLI = 0.92 and RMSEA = 0.05). The Cronbach’s alpha indicated satisfactory internal consistency for questionnaire (α = .88), and for subscales (social norms - α = .62, attitude - α = .65, perceived confidence- α = .74, and intention α = .86).Conclusions The final MIHRAV instrument is aligned with constructs of TPB. It included 19 items measuring intention to help (9 items); perceived confidence (4 items); attitude (3 items) and social norm (3 items). MIHRAV was found to be reliable and valid tool to assess young adult’s intention to help road accident victims. Assessing and building this aspect has the potential to positively impact young adult’s likelihood to intervene as first responders at RTAs.

As we know automobile industry is currently booming in india due to which number of vehicle also increasing day by day. In financial year 2019 approx 4.4 million cars were sold in indiadue to rise in number of vehicles rate of accident is also increasing. In year 2018 almost 1.5 lakhs lives were lost due to car accident. In our country many people still hesitate in helping a road accident victim because of legal formalities due to which many people loose there lifes. This projectwill help in detecting the accident and calling the medical assistance as soon as possiblewiththe helpof different sensorsandArduino uno.The aim of this project is to provide for the necessary aid to the victim and inform and report the accident in the least possible time by using IOT and sensors

This paper is devoted to the presence of distortions in a speech signal transmitted over a communication channel to a biometric system during voice-based remote identification. We propose to preliminary correct the frequency spectrum of the received signal based on the pre-distortion principle. Taking into account a priori uncertainty, a new information indicator of speech signal distortions and a method for measuring it in conditions of small samples of observations are proposed. An example of fast practical implementation of the method based on a parametric spectral analysis algorithm is considered. Experimental results of our approach are provided for three different versions of communication channel. It is shown that the usage of the proposed method makes it possible to transform the initially distorted speech signal into compliance on the registered voice template by using acceptable information discrimination criterion. It is demonstrated that our approach may be used in existing biometric systems and technologies of speaker identification.
