“…The insights from the paper can inform preventive measures and interventions to reduce the occurrence and severity of subdural haematomas. Some possible strategies based on the research findings may include improving head protection devices, enhancing diagnostic techniques for early detection, and implementing lifestyle modifications or preventive measures tailored to individuals at higher risk [45,46]. Overall, this research contributes to advancing knowledge in the field of head injury biomechanics and has the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of subdural haematomas.…”

The aim of this study is to explain the higher incidence of subdural haematomas in elderly people compared to young adult. This research addresses the phenomenon by developing two distinct numerical models of the human head, simulating individuals people aged 77 and 28, respectively. These models are methodically constructed based on medical imaging data acquired through collaboration with hospitals and subsequently verified through empirical experimentation. Studies have shown that the main factor that influences the vulnerability to bridging vein rupture in older adults is the degenerative processes of nervous tissue. The most visible structural damage was observed in the outflow cuff segment. This phenomenon can be primarily attributed to specific geometric parameters associated with this anatomical region. The presented research emphasises the importance of computational models in understanding the pathomechanics of brain structures. As a result of the analyses, it was proven that the neurodegenerative processes of the brain that occur with age are crucial in understanding the higher incidence of subdural haematomas in elderly people.

“…Penalties should aim to encourage behavioral changes without being excessively restrictive, and there should be a robust enforcement infrastructure alongside the law itself. In addition to legislative support, organized groups play a vital role in driving legislative success [46]. Effective enforcement of helmet laws depends on several factors, including well-crafted legislation, dedicated organizational bodies for implementation, community support, accessibility to affordable helmets, and a recognized need for change [47,48].…”

Background: By 2025, road traffic injuries are projected to rank third in the global burden of disease, posing a significant challenge that affects health, social well-being, and economic aspects. According to data from the Romanian Police National Statistics Center, there have been an average of 342 traffic accidents per year involving pediatric patients over the past 10 years. Materials and Methods: A retrospective research study was conducted, encompassing 358 cases of road traffic accidents identified for the study, with data collected over a span of eight years, and with the aim of analyzing the types of injury and treatment methods in relation to age and sex, while also focusing on the duration of hospitalization and the occurrence of complications. Results: An oscillating trend is observed from 2015 to 2020, with its lowest value recorded in 2017 at around 6.8% and its peak in 2019 at 20.1%. Notably, post-pandemic (COVID-19), the cases underwent a substantial decline of approximately 60%. At least 78.7% of those who did not undergo orthopedic reduction required surgery, whereas among those who underwent orthopedic reduction, only 23.4% needed surgery. Regarding the frequency of complications 17.3% of the total cases experienced complications. Conclusions: According to our findings, age has a significant effect on the type of accident (p < 0.05). Complications occurred in 17.3% of patients, most commonly surgical (24 cases, 38.7%), orthopedic (17 cases, 27.4%), and neurological (15 cases, 24.2%).
