Databook on Nonfatal Injury
Injury may be the most preventable major health care problem in the United States. It is also extremely costly, with one in eight hospital discharges and days of care relating to injury. Yet, published data on injury frequency, costs, and consequences are limited. This book is a reference volume with a correction factor for inflation updates and should, therefore, be useful for many years. The book examines selected costs of injury by body region, by body part, and by nature of injury (e.g., fracture, laceration). It estimates long-term consequences and addresses the costs of occupational injuries, consumer product injuries, intentional interpersonal injuries, motor vehicle crash injuries, and suicide. This information is for hospitals, lawyers and expert witnesses, insurers, doctors, program planners and evaluators, saftey advocates, and injured people themselves. The health care reform debate has highlighted the importance of data in monitoring and shaping national health policy. The costs and level of detail reported here should also help inform health policy discussions.
Disaster Medicine
Written by more than 30 emergency physicians with first-hand experience handling medical care during disasters, this volume is the only single comprehensive reference on disaster medicine. It provides the information that every emergency department needs to prepare for and handle the challenges of natural and manmade disasters. The contributors present guidelines for assessing the affected population's health care needs, establishing priorities, allocating resources, and treating individuals. Coverage encompasses a wide range of natural, industrial, technologic, transportation-related, and conflict-related disasters, with examples from around the world. This edition has more illustrations and more information on weapons of mass destruction and explosions.
Lumbar Injury Biomechanics
The amount of load that can be borne by the different components of the lumbar region is fairly well understood, as are resulting injuries from overloading. Less severe lumbar injuries involve a wide range of factors, including: heredity, obesity, age, occupation, sports, cardiovascular risk factors, and depression. Some of the most painful conditions that require high levels of care involve lumbar spine fracture or soft tissue injury from falls, contact sports, vehicle collisions, aircraft ejection, and underbody blasts from roadway explosions (military injuries). Each of these injury scenarios elicits a different kinematic response of the spine as a result of load direction, magnitude, and...
