Analyzing human body movement is a critical aspect of biomechanical studies in road safety. While most studies have traditionally focused on assessing the head-neck system due to the restraint provided by seat belts, it is essential to examine the entire pelvis-thorax-head kinematic chain when these body regions are free to move. The absence of restraint systems is prevalent in public transport and is also being considered for future integration into autonomous vehicles operating at low speeds. This article presents an experimental study examining the movement of the pelvis, thorax and head of 18 passengers seated without seat belts during emergency braking in an autonomous bus...

BACKGROUND: Paediatric cervical spine injury (CSI) after blunt trauma is rare but can have severe consequences. Clinical decision rules (CDRs) have been developed to guide clinical decision-making, minimise unnecessary tests and associated risks, whilst detecting all significant CSIs. Several validated CDRs are used to guide imaging decision-making in adults following blunt trauma and clinical criteria have been proposed as possible paediatric-specific CDRs. Little information is known about their accuracy...

INTRODUCTION: The profession of a midwife, despite its long tradition in Poland, is still not widely known in the society. Both in terms of the competencies and roles, it is often confused with other medical professions such as nurses or gynecologists. In this study, we assessed the knowledge of women in Poland on the profession of a midwife. The aim of the research project was to obtain detailed data on the knowledge of women regarding the specific professional competencies of midwives...

BACKGROUND: Uterus transplantation (UTx) is an emerging treatment for uterine factor infertility. Determining the maximum tolerable cold ischemia time is crucial for successful UTx. However, the limit for cold ischemia in the uterus is unclear. This study aimed to examine cold ischemia's effects on mouse uteri and identify the maximum cold ischemia duration that uteri can endure. METHODS: We systematically assessed the tolerance of mouse uteri to extended cold ischemia, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h, using the cervical heterotopic UTx model...

There are more than 13,000 new cases of cervical cancer each year in the United States and approximately 245,000 survivors. External beam radiation and brachytherapy are the front-line treatment modalities, and 60% of patients develop vaginal damage and constriction, i.e., stenosis of the vaginal vault, greatly impeding sexual function. The incidence of vaginal stenosis (VS) following radiotherapy (RT) for anorectal cancer is 80%. VS causes serious quality of life (QoL) and psychological issues, and while standard treatment using self-administered plastic dilators is effective, acceptance and compliance are often insufficient...

BACKGROUND: Trabeculae in vertebral bodies are unequally distributed within the cervical spine (CS), the thoracic spine (TS), and lumbar spine (LS). Such structures are also unequally distributed within the individual vertebrae. Exact knowledge of the microstructure of these entities could impact our understanding and treatment of fractures caused by osteoporosis and possibly improve surgical approaches. Appropriate investigations could help clarify the pathomechanisms of different forms of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, as well as different changes in morphological findings like the trabecular bone score (TBS)...

Globally, 9 million women are diagnosed with cancer each year. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, followed by colorectal cancer in high-income countries and cervical cancer in low-income countries. Survival from cancer is improving and more women are experiencing long-term effects of cancer treatment, such as premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause. Managing menopausal symptoms after cancer can be challenging, and more severe than at natural menopause. Menopausal symptoms can extend beyond hot flushes and night sweats (vasomotor symptoms)...

BACKGROUND: An increased risk of preterm birth has been observed among individuals with a previous second stage cesarean delivery compared with a previous vaginal delivery. One mechanism that may contribute to the increased risk of preterm birth following second stage cesarean delivery is the increased risk of cervical injury due to extension of the uterine incision (hysterotomy) into the cervix. Investigating the contribution of hysterotomy extension to the rate of preterm birth has not been well-studied and may shed light on the mechanisms underlying the observed relationship between mode of delivery and subsequent preterm birth...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease. Certain strains have the potential to cause malignancy in multiple anatomical sites if not cleared by the immune system. In most infected people, HPV is cleared within two years. However, HPV may persist in susceptible individuals with certain risk factors, eventually leading to malignancy. New evidence suggests that over 75% of all oropharyngeal cancers (OPC) are directly attributable to HPV. It is estimated that prophylactic HPV vaccination alone may take at least 25 years to have a significant impact on reducing the incidence of OPC...

UNLABELLED: Vaccinations have shown a decrease in human papillomavirus (HPV) infection-related cervical cancer in women, but there has been a sharp rise in the HPV infection-related oropharyngeal cancer cases over the past few decades. Recent studies have suggested the association of HPV infections with tonsillar cancers as well and suggestions regarding preventive tonsillectomies in order to achieve a decrease in HPV infection-related oropharyngeal or tonsillar cancer have arisen. However, there is limited cumulative evidence validated at a global level to support the endorsement of this strategy...

Improving upper extremity function in high cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with tetraplegia is a challenging task owing to the limited expendable donor muscles and nerves that are available. Restoring active wrist extension for these patients is critical because it allows for tenodesis grasp. This is classically achieved with brachioradialis (BR) to extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon transfer, but outcomes are suboptimal because BR excursion is insufficient and its origin proximal to the elbow further limits the functionality of the tendon transfer, particularly in the absence of elbow extension...
