Stimulants01:29

Stimulants

375
Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

Prevalence and Incidence01:08

Prevalence and Incidence

875
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Drug Regulation01:25

Drug Regulation

1.9K
Drug regulation encompasses the management of drug usage by evaluating its safety and efficacy through assessments conducted by regulatory authorities. Regrettably, the history of drug regulation is marred by several catastrophic events. One such incident is the Elixir Sulfanilamide tragedy, in which the toxic compound diethyl glycol was included in a sweet-tasting medication, leading to numerous fatalities. This event prompted the enactment of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938. Under...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

741
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.6K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview01:24

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

315
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • E-scooter use has surged for urban mobility, but has led to a rise in severe accidents.
  • These accidents present new public health challenges and increase healthcare costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the epidemiology of injuries from e-scooter accidents.
  • To assess the indirect economic impact of work-related e-scooter injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective descriptive study of patients treated for e-scooter accidents.
  • Data collected from January 2018 to December 2020 at Hospital Asepeyo Sant Cugat's emergency room.

Main Results:

  • 167 patients studied; 63% sustained fractures, with other injuries including head trauma and ligament ruptures.
  • Over half (51%) required surgery, and 105 patients were hospitalized.
  • Indirect costs due to work inability totaled approximately €1,062,444.

Conclusions:

  • E-scooter accidents among the working population cause severe injuries and significant socio-economic impact.
  • The indirect economic burden on hospitals from these injuries is substantial, exceeding €1 million in the study period.
