Introduction: WHO's report on road traffic accidents ( 2009) revealed 50% of deaths occur in vulnerable road users with higher rates in poorer economies of the world. Administrative records of Wardha district show the total number of road traffic accidents reported in the year 2011 were 601 including 165 fatalities and by 2012 midyear 441cases including 116 fatalities. There is possibility of gross underreporting of road traffic accidents. Complexity of epidemiology of accidents as well as patterns of injuries suffered makes it an essential study determinant. Objective: To find out the severity & pattern of injuries sustained in RTA's . Material and Methods: Community based Cross sectional study was done in the villages of Wardha district (India). Sample size of 385 was estimated by Probability Proportional to Size sampling {PPS}. Variables like Pattern of injuries as fatal, non-fatal outcomes, type of injury sustained and sites of injury were enquired. Result: Abrasions were more at almost all times in the entire day with maximum during afternoon 50(45.0%), 20.7 % showed alcohol influence, 36.8 % suffered injuries to upper limb. Conclusion: Alcohol, over speeding is more dangerous on city roads, abrasions and lacerations were common injuries, fractures and crush injuries were less common. 20.7 % chances of Accidents under influence of Alcohol, most of them had motor driving license. Majority of accidents were non-fatal. Fractures were more common in motorized 4 wheeler occupants. Stones, animals on roads and defect on roads also played major role in accidents. Lack of visibility on the road had significantly increased the risk of fatal injuries.
Background: This article reviews published articles and existing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques relevant to adolescents with obesity and diabetes mellitus. Obesity, in addition to DIABETES MELLITUS, is a crucial risk factor for the occurrence of future chronic and noncommunicable diseases. Obese and overweight teenagers are more prone to acquire Adult Onset Diabetes, formerly rare among the younger population. However, a global trend of Adult Onset Diabetes was noted in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In the United States and the United Kingdom, and other developing and developed countries, this is particularly true. Adult Onset Diabetes is nearly as common as Insulin Dependent Diabetes in some locations. There has been a significant surge in the prevalence and severity of obesity in several population groups in teenagers. Objective and Methodology: To read and review the existing literature on the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus and obesity in adolescence. About 15 articles and literature were studied using the PubMed and Google Scholar search engine to produce a detailed review article on the topic of interest so chosen. Results and Conclusion: After reviewing the articles, we can agree that TYPE-2 DIABETES MELLITUS is linked easily to young adults who are obese, that is, having a Body Mass Index of more than 30 or more than 30. TYPE-2 DIABETES MELLITUS causes destruction of receptors for insulin which results in an increased level of glucose, causing various diseases. Obesity in young adults is a critical factor in the occurrence of Adult Onset Diabetes which makes them at risk of developing severe diseases in the 3rd or 4th decade of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
