“…The public transportation system appears to have become a preferred target of terrorists because of the potential for disruption, destruction, and the possibility of escape of the perpetrator(s), due to the size, openness, accessibility, lack of passenger identification, and the number of people such transportation systems carry (Jenkins 2001). Terrorist attacks on the public transportation system are described in (Colliard 2015;Bruyelle et al 2014;Borrion et al 2014;Edwards et al 2016;Johnstone 2011;Lockey et al 2005;Fiumara 2015;Hunter and Lambert 2016;O'Neill et al 2013;Setola et al 2015;Jenkins 2004;Polunsky 2015Polunsky , 2017Wilson et al 2007;Tripathi and Borrion 2016;Starita and Scaparra 2017;Lievin et al 2013).…”

This study considers the problem of protecting metros against terrorist attacks. We have collected statistics on all terrorist attacks committed in the metro since 1883, and we have analyzed the efficiency of technical security systems deployed at the metro. The analysis conducted showed that technical systems employed presently in metros cannot prevent bringing explosive devices of a certain type into the metro. Mathematical calculations make it possible to establish the assigned risk of delivering explosive devices of a certain type into metros. The research offers a possible way of increasing the level of security in the metro against the conveyance and use of explosive devices.Keywords Metro Á Subway Á Terrorist attack on metro stations Á Act of terrorism in the subway Á Statistics on all terrorist attacks in the metro

“…There has been increasing concern in recent times of the threat of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear terrorist attack or accidental release of such agents [92,93] and evidence exists that this threat is real [94,95]. However, many recent terrorist major incidents including those in Norway [96], India [97], England [98], and Spain [99] have resulted in multiple serious injuries and fatalities secondary to bomb and ballistic-related traumatic injuries. Recent worldwide natural disasters have resulted in the majority of casualties' suffering blunt trauma, crush injury and drowning [90].…”

SummaryThe word ‘trauma’ describes the disease entity resulting from physical injury. Trauma is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and deaths due to injury look set to increase. As early as the 1970s, it became evident that centralisation of resources and expertise could reduce the mortality rate from serious injury and that organisation of trauma care delivery into formal systems could improve outcome further. Internationally, trauma systems have evolved in various forms, with widespread reports of mortality and functional outcome benefits when major trauma management is delivered in this way. The management of major trauma in England is currently undergoing significant change. The London Trauma System began operating in April 2010 and others throughout England became operational this year. Similar systems exist internationally and continue to be developed. Anaesthetists have been and continue to be involved with all levels of trauma care delivery, from the provision of pre‐hospital trauma and retrieval teams, through to chronic pain management and rehabilitation of patients back into society. This review examines the international development of major trauma care delivery and the components of a modern trauma system.
