High impact information on Seat Belts

 

Biological context of Seat Belts

  • The resulting nascent peptide does not contain the seat belt region (amino acid residues 88-105), a TSH-beta subunit region crucial for the dimerization with the alpha-subunit, and, hence, the correct secretion of the mature TSH heterodimer is hampered [10].
  • Significant improvements were seen in body fat, cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, seat belt use, and overall physical health among the high risk group and the low risk group [11].
 

Associations of Seat Belts with chemical compounds

  • The cys 26-110 bond is associated with the "seat-belt" region and cys 34-88 is a bond in the cystine knot [12].
  • Non-use of seat belts was also higher among those who felt that their station in life as measured by the Cantril ladder was unsatisfactory, who felt powerless to change at least some aspects of their lives, and who were infrequent church attenders [13].
  • Failure to wear seat belts was associated with a higher use of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and cocaine; more tolerance toward speeding and drinking while driving; less exercise; and more preference for fat in the diet [14].
  • A sample of 125 U.S. college students reported how frequently they exercised vigorously; wore seat belts in automobiles; and avoided consumption of red meat and foods high in dietary cholesterol, saturated fat, and salt [15].
  • Washington enacted a primary enforcement seat belt, the Chief of the Washington State Patrol made safety belt enforcement one of the core missions of that agency, and Washington participated in the national Memorial Day Click It or Ticket program during May 2002 and continued the program into 2003 [16].
 

Gene context of Seat Belts

  • Replacing the entire seat-belt of hTSHbeta with the hCG sequence conferred full hCG receptor binding and activation to the hTSH chimera, whereas TSH receptor binding and activation were abolished [17].
  • Conversely, introduction of the hTSHbeta seat-belt sequence into hCGbeta generated an hCG chimera that bound to and activated the TSH receptor but not the CG/lutropin (LH) receptor [17].
  • Thus, exchanging the seat-belt region between hTSH and hCG switches hormonal specificity in a mutually exclusive fashion [17].
  • At T3, there was still a difference in attitudes toward speeding but not toward seat belt use [18].
  • OBJECTIVES: This study investigated seat belt use among White, Black, and Hispanic drivers, in cities in which standard enforcement of the belt use law is permitted (primary enforcement) and in cities in which a motorist has to be first cited for another offense (secondary enforcement) [19].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Seat Belts

  • Increases have been consistent since 2000, when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in partnership with the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign, increased its encouragement of states to implement highly visible enforcement programs [20].
  • As compared with seat belts, CRS are very highly effective in preventing serious injuries and hospitalization, respectively [21].
  • Mothers who entered the hospital with safety seats were more likely than those without safety seats to (1) be White or Mexican-American than Black; (2) not be dependent on public transportation; (3) have an older child who always rides in a car seat; and (4) wear seat belts themselves [22].
