Alcohol and drugs are significant contributors in drowning deaths in Sweden and should be considered as part of a comprehensive…
Injuries among the Elderly in the Home Environment

The number of collisions between motor vehicles and moose is increasing in many countries. Collisions with large, high animals such as moose cause typical rear- and downward deformation of the windshield pillars and front roof, most pronounced for small passenger cars; the injury risk increases with the deformation of the car. A strengthening of the windshield pillars and front roof and the use of antilacerative windshields would reduce the injur…
