“…If ambulances were indeed slower to arrive on scene, this could have reduced the likelihood of survival (Durkin et al, 2005;Zwerling et al, 2005;Li et al 2008;Gonzalez et al, 2009;Sánchez-Mangas, 2010) and, as a consequence, increased the total number of fatal accidents observed in FARS, which represents a complete census of all fatal MVCs. 25 To conduct this analysis, we collapsed the FARS data into county-year cells and estimated equation (4) using the total number of fatalities in county c and year t as the outcome.…”

“…An understanding of the aspects of medical care most amenable to targeted intervention when resources are limited is essential to practicing medicine in these resource‐poor settings. Needs assessments and intervention evaluations were addressed by many authors in a diversity of contexts and conditions, including pediatric care in Tanzania, 23 pediatric organophosphate poisoning in Egypt, 16 barriers to appropriate care of pediatric febrile illnesses in Uganda, 18 the use of transfusion in severe pediatric malaria in Kenya, 13 emergency department suicide interventions in five countries, 17 motor vehicle accidents in Taiwan, 21 and the modification of the Advanced Pediatric Life Support course for use in Vietnam 24…”

As the specialty of emergency medicine (EM) continues to evolve in countries around the world, and as interest in international emergency medicine (IEM) continues to grow within the United States, the IEM Literature Review Group recognizes a need for a high-quality, consolidated, and easily accessible evidence base of literature. In response to that need, the group created an annual publication that strives to provide readers with access to the highest quality and most relevant IEM research. This publication represents our fourth annual review, covering the top 26 IEM research articles published in 2008. Articles were selected for the review according to explicit, predetermined criteria that include both methodologic quality and perceived impact of the research. It is our hope that this annual review will act as a forum for disseminating best practices while also stimulating further research in the field of IEM.

The traffic police routine patrol vehicle mission is to provide service to the public, primarily through enforcement of traffic laws and assistance to road users after accidents or other calls for service. An efficient traffic police location and schedule assignment (TPLSAP) across a road network ensures that the traffic police undertake their mission effectively. In the search for effective road network cover solutions, a multiple-objective linear program is developed in the first stage with three distinct objectives. The objective functions maximize the following: (1) traffic police presence and conspicuousness; (2) police presence at blackspots where frequent traffic offences occur; and (3) the time available for proactive work. In the second stage of the TPLSAP formulation, distance and time halo effect integer linear programs produce a detailed, daily shift schedule across the planning horizon. Consequently, we formulate a routine traffic police schedule-location and activity problem, which incorporates road safety recommendations drawn from the literature, police policy and operational constraints. Finally, we apply the formulation to a case study of the interurban road network in Northern Israel, which highlights potential improvements over the current schedules.
