A case-control study was carried out, aimed at identifying and defining the individual, family, household and childcare social support network characteristics, more likely to be associated with the ...occurrence of accidental home injuries in 0-9 year-old children. This study was carried out in the emergency units of three pediatric hospitals in the Federal District. In this article we report the results of the descriptive analysis only of the cases. The results were as follows: male children (62%) and the one and two year-old children group (37%) were the most affected. Contusions, head injuries and fractures occupied the first three places, the main three causes being falls from one level to another (mainly in stairways and off the bed) falls on the same level (sliding, tripping or stumbling) and burns with boiling liquids (most frequently boiling water for bathing). A history of injuries was documented in only 15% of cases. Thirty nine percent of cases requested medical attention after one hour of the accident; 51% of these were hospitalized. In 25% of cases, the mother worked outside the home, being absent from 6 to 12 hours. Risk factors occurring most frequently were: unprotected electricity inlets (40%); products within reach of children: cleaning products (38%), makeup products (34%), plastic bags (30%) and tools (30%); lack of protection rails for cradles (30%) and for staircases (48%), and free access to roofs (44%). In 62 percent of cases some care was provided in the house of the injured child; twenty six percent counted on a support network, and 3 percent were by themselves. We present some proposals for epidemiologic and health services research, and stress the necessity to implement health education, social security and health services policies to favorably influence the solution of these problems.
The main objective was to determine the risk factors involved in unintentional injuries in children under 10 years old occurring at home.
A Case Control study was conducted in the emergency room of ...three pediatrics hospitals in Mexico City. The sample size was 160 cases and 320 controls.
Boys were more affected than girls (OR) 1.7, C.I. (95%) 1.2-2.5. The age group more affected was two-three years old (OR) 1.6, C.I.1.1-2.2. When children play outside home (roof, stairs, patio) the risk was OR 2.48, C.I. 1.63-3.76. If mother is not encharged of children care (OR) 2.9, C.I. 1.8-4.8. The age > 40 years old of the person encharged of children care (OR) 2.2, C.I. 1.4-3.5.
The results showed us how necessary is to develop injury prevention programs especially to implement passive measures, with target populations people encharged of children care.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 022504 (2018) Final-state kinematic imbalances are measured in mesonless production of
$\nu_\mu + A \to \mu^- + p + X$ in the MINERvA tracker. Initial- and
final-state nuclear ...effects are probed using the direction of the $\mu^-$-p
transverse momentum imbalance and the initial-state momentum of the struck
neutron. Differential cross sections are compared to predictions based on
current approaches to medium modeling. These models under-predict the cross
section at intermediate intranuclear momentum transfers that generally exceed
the Fermi momenta. As neutrino interaction models need to correctly incorporate
the effect of the nucleus in order to predict neutrino energy resolution in
oscillation experiments, this result points to a region of phase space where
additional cross section strength is needed in current models, and demonstrates
a new technique that would be suitable for use in fine grained liquid argon
detectors where the effect of the nucleus may be even larger.
