The S-100B protein is a recognised indicator of traumatic brain damage, but the impact threshold at which S-100B is released into serum still remains unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate whether moderate shear forces are able to release S-100B into serum in people who did a bungee jump. Eleven healthy probands jumped from a height
And adolescents are known to be more risk taking, partly because their brains are still developing and they are more susceptible to peer pressure. And, of course, there may be other reasons why we
COVID-19 can damage the brain, causing long-term problems with thinking and memory. New research suggests the damage comes from the immune system's reaction to the coronavirus, not the virus itself.
A person becomes unconscious quickly during cardiac arrest. This usually happens within 20 seconds after the heart stops beating. Without the oxygen and sugars it needs to function, the brain is unable to deliver the electrical signals needed to maintain breathing and organ function. This can lead to a hypoxic-anoxic injury (HAI).
Failure of a battery hold down can indeed cause battery plate damage. Battery hold downs are important for securing the battery in place and preventing excessive movement, which can damage the internal components of the battery. On the other hand, Technician B is incorrect. A bungee cord is not a suitable battery hold down. Bungee cords are not
There were no differences between the injury patterns after a fall from a height of more than 7 m or less than 7 m. The incidence of thoracic and pelvic injuries (30.0%) increased after falls from more than 7 m. The neurological complications of injuries to the spine corresponded to increasing height. According to our analysis blunt abdominal
Bungee jumping is hazardous to your health. A 39-year-old was injured while bungee jumping from a platform that was suspended 240 feet in the air. He was wearing a vest that was attached to the bungee cord. When the cord stretched, it detached from its anchor and the victim fell to an inflatable air mattress. The only injury he sustained was to
