High impact information on Whiplash Injuries

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Whiplash Injuries

  • Evaluation of whiplash injuries by technetium 99m isotope scanning [9].
  • Of the 8 patients who developed chronic symptoms following whiplash injury, none demonstrated a serum creatine kinase rise [10].
  • Results indicate that the improved geometric fit of head restraints observed in many newer vehicle models are reducing the risk of whiplash injury substantially among female drivers (about 37% in the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable), but have very little effect among male drivers [11].
 

Anatomical context of Whiplash Injuries

  • Higher percentages of RANTES-expressing blood MNC and T cells were observed in patients with WAD examined within 3 days compared to 14 days after the whiplash injury and, likewise, compared with healthy controls [5].
 

Gene context of Whiplash Injuries

  • PEMT as described is safe for domiciliary use and this study suggests that PEMT has a beneficial effect in the management of the acute whiplash injury [12].
  • Applying the Quebec Task Force criteria as a frame of reference for studies of whiplash injuries [13].
  • SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Impact severity parameters, such as the peak acceleration of the vehicle, its mean acceleration, and its velocity change, are often used to predict the whiplash injury risk or to objectify the patient's symptoms even though their correlation to injury is still not well understood [14].
  • A review and methodologic critique of the literature supporting 'chronic whiplash injury'. Part II. Reviews, editorials, and letters [15].
