  2. 1. Fatal car crash configurations and injury panorama : with special emphasis on the function of restraint system

    Author : Mats Lindquist; Ulf Björnstig; Anders Kullgren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; Deep studies; fatal crashes; small overlap; human FE-modeling; body kinematics; real life safety; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Background: Most traffic safety research projects require accurate real world data which is collected in different databases around the world. This is especially important since the results of these projects form the basis for new crash test procedures and standards. READ MORE

    Author : Marianne Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Numerical modelling; Factorial DOE; Stochastic simulation; Accident reconstruction; MADYMO; Child Safety; Restraint system; Anthropometry; Q3;

    Abstract : Traffic related trauma is the main cause of child fatality and injury in Europe and North America, with the large majority of fatalities and injuries occurring to children in cars. Specifically, head injury is a common outcome in injury causing car accidents. READ MORE

  5. 3. Child Passenger Kinematics in Emergency Manoeuvres

    Author : Isabelle Stockman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : ABSTRACTIn motor vehicle impacts, a child’s head is generally the most frequently injured body region, irrespective of impact direction. Head to front seat back impact has been identified as a predominant cause of injury for rear seated, seat belt restrained children, aged 3 – 13, who sustained AIS2+ head injuries in frontal impacts.

  6. 4. Child Safety in Car Crashes

    Author : Marianne Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reconstructions; near-side; evaluations; frontal impact; rigid body; mathematical simulations; rear seat; finite elements; belt positioning booster; side impact; child safety; child seat;

    Abstract : Traffic related trauma is the most common cause of fatality and severe injury to children in developed countries. The majority of these fatalities and injuries are caused by frontal and side impacts. READ MORE

  7. 5. Central neuropeptide Y (NPH) expression and function : role in stress, experimental anxiety, and cognition

    Author : Annika Thorsell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : neuropeptide Y; stress; experimental anxiety; cognition; lipid-mediated gene transfer; transgenic animals; rat;

    Abstract : Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36 amino acid peptide abundantly expressed throughout the mammalian nervous system, has been implicated in experimental anxiety and stress related responses, feeding, and learning and memory. These functions are mediated via different receptor subtype populations (Y1-Y6), all belonging to the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. READ MORE
