Lipoprotein(a)-Lp(a), which retains proatherogenic and prothrombotic properties, may be modified by hormonal and metabolic factors. However, few studies have focused on differences related to sex and cardiometabolic risk factors in the relationship b...

Around 90% of all fatal and non-fatal unintentional injuries occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The magnitude of unintentional injuries is unclear due to limited research and data. This paper describes the burden of lesser-known injur...

Mining is a high-risk industry where occupational accidents are common due to its complex nature. Therefore, providing a more holistic and dynamic risk assessment framework is essential to identify and minimize the potential risks and enhance safety...

The epidemiology of occupational injuries is reported worldwide, but suspicions of under-reporting prevail, probably associated with free press. We examined the association between freedom of the press and lethality rate of occupational injuries base...

Physical hazards are the most common source of health effects among waste recyclers, frequently leading to worker injuries. South Africa’s formal buy-back centres (BBCs) have emerged as key nodes in the recycling chain, yet the burden of non-fa...

The popularity of ultralight planes in non-commercial aviation is on the rise; however, non-compliance with regulations and the use of faulty equipment poses significant risks. This study explores the consequences of such lapses in adherence to safet...

Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the demographics and injury patterns of children with transportation-related non-fatal injuries occurring on public roads, streets and highways using a nationwide emergency department (E...

Despite significant research efforts into wrong-way driving crashes, the fatality rate in the United States remains persistently high year after year. However, few studies have concentrated on how the driver’s familiarity with the road affects...

Codeine, an opioid analgesic present in many over-the-counter (OTC) formulations, is frequently misused through non-medical extraction techniques such as cold water extraction (CWE). These practices carry substantial risks, including incomplete remov...
