“…These interventions share a common focus on risky driving behaviors, together with driver capacity and training. This review found the most effective interventions were mandatory seat belts (33 – 36), antilock brake systems (37), camera speed control (38 – 40), helmet use by motorcycle drivers (36), and graduated driver licensing for new drivers (27, 41 – 44). Several studies assessed graduated driver licensing in the United States, both federally and in states, and showed that implementation of this program reduced accidents in young, inexperienced drivers by 19% – 39% (27).…”

Objective To summarize the best available international scientific evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to reduce motor vehicle collisions and their consequences among the working and general populations. Methods A broad and systematic review was conducted of the literature available in biomedical databases and grey literature. At least two investigators working in parallel performed data extraction, synthesis, and risk of bias analysis. Results Forty-one studies with low to moderate risk of bias were included. Of these, 18 had an ecological design (time series), 10 were quasi-experimental, one was a population survey, one was a randomized clinical trial, and 11 were systematic reviews. Conclusions The interventions that most consistently show a positive effect on incidence, morbidity, and mortality due to motor vehicle collisions are national policies or programs that: regulate, enforce, and penalize driving under the influence of alcohol; improve driving safety and driver conditions; improve road infrastructure with the purpose of preventing collisions; and educate and penalize drivers with a history of road violations.

“…There is no unique pathway linking mechanical loading to bone (re)modeling; rather, multiple pathways that are responsive to various signals, including mechanical strain, participate in the adaptive response [6]. Currently, the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is viewed as a dominant pathway in adaptation to mechanical loading [5, 7–11]. Osteocytes regulate Wnt/β-catenin signaling via secretion of sclerostin, which antagonizes Wnt signaling by binding low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-5 and -6 [12].…”

Purpose We previously reported that 12 mo of resistance training (RT, 2×/wk, N= 19) or jump training (JUMP, 3×/wk, N= 19) increased whole body and lumbar spine BMD and increased serum bone formation markers relative to resorption in physically active (≥4 hr/wk) men (mean age: 44 ± 2 y; median: 44 y) with osteopenia of the hip or spine. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine the effects of the RT or JUMP intervention on potential endocrine mediators of the exercise effects on bone, specifically IGF-I, PTH and sclerostin. Methods Fasting blood samples were collected after a 24-h period of no exercise at baseline and after 12 months of RT or JUMP. IGF-I, PTH and sclerostin were measured in serum by ELISA. The effects of RT or JUMP on IGF-I, PTH and sclerostin were evaluated using 2×2 repeated measures ANOVA (time, group). This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the University of Missouri IRB. Results Sclerostin concentrations in serum significantly decreased and IGF-I significantly increased after 12 mo of RT or JUMP; while PTH remained unchanged. Conclusion The beneficial effects of long-term, progressive-intensity RT or JUMP on BMD in moderately active men with low bone mass are associated with decreased sclerostin and increased IGF-I.

“…Scarce research can be found about this type of TCM. Normally, papers focus on traffic offenses involving red lights and on the effectiveness of red light cameras on accidents (Baratian-Ghorghi, Zhou, and Zech, 2016;Llau, Ahmed, Khan, Cevallos, and Pekovic, 2015;Jensupakarn and Kanitpong, 2018), but the efficiency of the traffic lights used for this research is not analyzed as a TCM in the literature.…”

Due to the presence of various traffic calming measures (TCM) and traffic lights in urban areas, the speed of vehicles is maintained low. Nevertheless, a problem arises in the frontier between urban and non-urban areas because drivers must adapt their speed and behavior to new conditions. This risk becomes even greater in rural roads that penetrate small villages without a bypass and with a short urban segment, since drivers do not normally speed down in these segments. Various measures can be installed, but traffic lights that turn red if the speed limit is exceeded is not usually considered as a TCM in the literature. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the efficiency of traffic lights turning red in case of exceeding speed limit. The village of Ábalos in Spain was selected for this research, with an urban area of 630 m and this type of traffic lights in both directions. Results showed that drivers do not respect the speed limit - and hence, the red light - when they are placed separately. However, if they are placed next to a crosswalk, their effect is increased. Consequently, it is recommended to place these traffic lights with a crosswalk to reinforce the efficiency of both TCMs.
