Background: The Trauma and road accident is considered as major cause mortality in the young adults’ populations around the world. The understanding the importance of forensic investigation of un-natural deaths, accidental injuries and suicidal cases is required by medical staff and patients’ family members. Objective: To asses of mortality pattern based on autopsy in victims of road traffic accident Study Design: Retrospective study Place and Duration of the Study: Medicolegal Section of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad, Pakistan from 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2019. Methodology: Six hundred and twenty nine autopsies were included. Deaths due to road traffic accident were included. Results: There were 472 males and 157 females between 31 to 50 years. Two hundred and forty nine patients were admitted in ICU. Two hundred and fourteen patients had affected head region followed by face 104 injuries. While 74 had affected neck, 67 affected thorax, 63 affected abdominal region, 52 affected spine and 55 had affected lower extremities.173 were died due to damage of central nervous system. The damages were due to car accident was 62, motorbike 73, rickshaw 22 and other reasons 14. One hundred and forty patients were died due to fracture of skull. Conclusion: The mortalities rates are under reported in majority of accidental cases due to lacking of autopsies procedures. Keywords: Autopsy, Assessment, Mortality pattern, Road traffic accident

Road traffic accident has become a prevalent and re-occurring phenomenon in Nigeria which constitutes a menace in modern times. Although all the developed and developing countries have suffer from various degrees of road accidents the developing countries clearly dominates with Nigeria having the second highest road accident among the 193 ranked countries of the world. This research aimed at identifying and assessing road accident hot spots between 2012 and 2016 along Yola/Gombe road. Data was collected from the accident hot spots using GIS/GPS techniques. The data was used to map out these accident hot spots. It also assessed the nature, mode of occurrence and types of injuries associated with the accidents within the study area. It further assesses the types and condition of the vehicle with the highest involvement in the accident within the study area.. GIS and Remote sensing method were used to analyse and georeference the map by throwing the coordinates of the accident hotspots that were picked and Data was also collected from Federal Road Safety Commission. These were analysed statistically. Result was used in this research. The study shows that between 2012 and 2016 about 2846 accidents were witnessed, 1,027 people died, 9017 people sustained various degrees of injuries and 3,384 vehicles were involved in the accidents. The causes of accident were observed. The preventive measures were suggested. The study recommended the need to seriously view road traffic regulations seeing them as human induced problem that demand an urgent attention. Such action is aimed at preventing untimely deaths, social, and economic losses and impacts on average Nigerians.

AbstractRoad traffic accident is one of the major causes of death in Nigeria. Road accidents have taken away so many lives in Nigeria today that hardly does any single disease match its mortality prowess. People have died prematurely and properties worth several millions of Naira have been lost as a result of road traffic accident. This paper gives a full discussion on road traffic safety issues and the methodology used were through the collection of data using questionnaire and accident information from the Nigeria Police Force, FRSC etc. The primary information for this research was sourced through the use of structured questionnaire, personal observation and interviews of road users in the study area. Secondary data emanated from published and unpublished sources such as government records, internet, journals, books etc. The findings were presented in descriptive and inferential form using frequencies, percentages, tables, mean and chi-square analytical techniques. The findings from the study revealed among many others; that Male involved more in road accident compare to female counterpart in Minna Niger State. Private car had more accident compare to Taxi, The number of accident in each zone does not depend on the population of that zone, etc.

The article presents theoretical substantiation of the methodological basis for use of aeropictures of unmanned aerial vehicles of the "micro" class, namely DJI Phantom 3 Professional and GIS-technologies during the mapping of the site of an accident. A structural and functional model of the web portal "Information and Analytical Centre for Monitoring of Road Traffic Accidents" has been developed and implemented, which allows to fully use aerial photographs of unmanned aerial vehicles to increase the efficiency of road accident mapping technology. A step-by-step technological scheme for processing aerial photographs of the scene of accidents on the web portal "Information and Analytical Centre for Monitoring of Road Traffic Accidents" is proposed. It should be noted that the structure of the web portal "Information and Analytical Centre for Monitoring of Road Traffic Accidents" includes the subsection "Registration of a traffic accident report" and the subsection "Add a participant of an accident", which ensures the registration of personal materials of the participants of a road traffic accident. Thus, the result of registration of an accident on the web portal is the documentation of the registered accident in the form of a generated report, which includes personal materials of the participants of an accident and orthophotos of the scene of an accident. Thus, it is definite that the developed geo-information support of the web portal "Information and Analytical Centre for Monitoring of Road Traffic Accidents" is intended for collection, registration, mapping, formation and issuance of relevant documentation of an accident. The application of this innovative solution to the process of registration and mapping of road traffic accidents allows to solve a number of issues related to the process of registration and mapping of road accidents, namely: the issue of traffic jams will be resolved; the process of registration of road accident is automated; the accuracy and reliability of the made schemes of a place of a road traffic accident will increase; the number of controversial issues will decrease; the received materials can be used for other purposes (adoption of motivated decisions on court cases, execution of reasoned payments by insurance companies), and accordingly the corruption component will decrease.

In some cases, the material provided for a forensic vehicle examination may be insufficient to answer the questions placed before the experts. However, sometimes there are some multimedia files presented which by means of forensic video examination can help to discover the information missing for implementation of the vehicle expertise. This article reviews the potential of forensic video and vehicle investigations when conducting an integrated research including the investigation of circumstances of a road traffic accident. The examples from the state experts’ practice of the forensic institutions of the Russian Ministry of Justice are provided. This review is intended to introduce the video experts and the vehicle experts to the opportunities there are in the integrated research of the mechanism of road accidents.

Fracture is quite a common occurrence in the age group of children, with a fairly wide variety of epidemiology throughout the world, hence it could be considered as a major health problem. A retrospective study of all pediatric fractures presenting to Dr. Soegiri General Hospital Lamongan, Indonesiain 2015 was undertaken. It showed that 79.5% of children’s fractures occurred in males and that 86.76% presented as a single fracture, whileelbow dislocation is the most prevalent dislocation in this study.Analysis of pediatric fractures shows that there is a trimodal distribution of single fracture with age, withdistal radius/ulna fracture as the most prevalent single fracture.The commonest cause of single fracture are road traffic accident, and the majority involve the upper limb. Those suggested that there should be more concern about road safety program in Indonesia.
