“…The study by Esses et al ( 17 ), which was conducted with data from a university hospital service and carried out by the team of researchers involved in the present study, showed that low educational level, followed by medium educational level, was directly related to the occurrence of maxillofacial fractures. The present study, with a sample obtained from a non-hospital setting, showed a result somewhat similar to the aforementioned study, with a higher incidence of facial trauma for the group of individuals with complete secondary education.…”

“…This can be explained by the fact that men participate more actively in social activities and, consequently, they are more susceptible to traffic accidents, work-related accidents, interpersonal violence, and sports-related injuries ( 13 ). Women have a higher prevalence of facial injuries when involved with domestic violence ( 10 , 12 - 15 ), in which their aggressors are most commonly their intimate partners ( 15 - 17 ).…”

Background Trauma due to external causes represents one of the greatest challenges for public health services in different regions around the world. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of facial trauma, associated risk factors, and classification of body injuries in individuals who underwent forensic examination in a Brazilian center. Material and Methods Data were collected at the Ceará State Forensic Medicine unit in a 12-year period. Sociodemographic data related to the etiological agent and lesions resulting from the bodily injury were recorded. Results Among 1,031 physical injury exams, physical aggression ( p <0.001), male victims aged between 21 and 30 years ( p <0.001), salaried workers ( p <0.001), and soft tissue and dentoalveolar injuries were significant findings. Regarding aggression, domestic violence was prevalent ( p <0.001), perpetrated by the victim’s partner ( p <0.001), using a blunt instrument during the aggression ( p <0.001), and directly associated with soft tissue injury ( p <0.001). In traffic accidents, the most common type was motorcycle accident ( p <0.001), on weekdays ( p =0.036), at nighttime ( p =0.134), showing a significant association with bone fractures ( p =0.001). Conclusions Oral and maxillofacial injuries obtained from a Brazilian forensic science center were significantly associated with sociodemographic and etiological factors. Key words: Forensic dentistry, facial trauma, violence, public health.

“…Al analizar la distribución según edad, de acuerdo a diferentes investigaciones, aquellas con ocurrencia más frecuente de lesiones oro-maxilofaciales fue en individuos menores de 40 años (Venegas et al;González et al, 2015;Morales-Olivera et al;Teshome et al;Esses et al), lo cual es similar a los resultados obtenidos en el presente estudio, en donde la edad en que estas lesiones son más recurrentes es entre los 20 a 40 años (43,03 %).…”

“…La región oro-maxilofacial resulta ser de gran importancia debido a sus funciones fisiológicas y sensoriales (Bregagnolo et al, 2013), además de contener estructuras vitales tales como sistema nervioso central y vía aérea, así como por el factor estético, pudiendo ser afectado por lesiones que resulten en deformidades faciales (Venegas et al, 2013;Esses et al, 2018). Lesiones que según la literatura son causadas principalmente por accidentes de tránsito, violencia interpersonal y deportes de contacto (DeAngelis et al, 2014).…”

RESUMEN: Las ocurrencias de lesiones en la región oro-maxilofacial adquieren importancia debido a su complicada anatomía y fisiología, pudiendo resultar en deformidades faciales, adquiriendo interés cuando son causadas por un tercero, pudiendo traer repercusiones legales. El objetivo fue realizar un estudio transversal con el fin de estimar frecuencia y tipificación de lesiones oro-maxilofaciales que requirieron peritaje forense en el Servicio Médico Legal de Curicó, Chile. Se recopilaron datos encriptados de 79 fichas de pacientes entre 17-88 años que realizaron su constatación de lesiones en Servicio Médico Legal de Curicó, Chile, en el lapsus de un año. La frecuencia de lesiones con peritaje forense en la región oro-maxilofacial fue de un 25,82 %, provocada principalmente por mecanismo físico. En su mayoría efectuados a individuos del sexo masculino, con un rango etario de entre 20 a 40 años. La violencia interpersonal fue observada como el agente causal más frecuente de lesiones, seguida por accidentes de tránsito. Los sujetos periciados por violencia intrafamiliar, fueron en su totalidad mujeres. Las lesiones más recurrentes fueron fractura y contusión, dentro de ellas encontramos a fractura nasal como la más frecuente, seguida de herida contusa, herida por instrumento cortante, fractura maxilar y por último fractura dental. De la totalidad de las lesiones en estudio solo un tercio estuvieron confinadas exclusivamente en el territorio oro-maxilofacial.

“…Since there has been no central heating system in Shenzhen, therefore houses almost entirely lack heating in winter and indoor temperatures are similar to temperatures in the outdoors. Previous studies have found that elderly people are more susceptible to accidents such as falling indoors in winter and such accidents are associated more with cold weather [29][30][31] . Thus, accidental human mortality may increase at low temperatures as a consequence of the lack of indoor heating.…”

Health-risk assessments of temperature are central to determine total non-accidental human mortality; however, few studies have investigated the effect of temperature on accidental human mortality. We performed a time-series study combined with a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) to quantify the non-linear and delayed effects of daily mean temperature on accidental human mortality between 2013 and 2017 in Shenzhen, China. The threshold for effects of temperature on accidental human mortality occurred between 5.6 °C and 18.5 °C. Cold exposures, but not hot exposures, were significantly associated with accidental human mortality. All of the observed groups were susceptible to cold effects, with the strongest effects presented in females (relative risk [RR]: 3.14, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.44-6.84]), followed by poorly educated people (RR: 2.63, 95% CI [1.59-4.36]), males (RR: 1.79, 95% CI [1.10-2.92]), and well-educated people (RR: 1.20, 95% CI [0.58-2.51]). Pooled estimates for cold effects at a lag of 0-21 days (d) were also stronger than hot effects at a lag of 0-2 d. Our results indicate that low temperatures increased the risk of accidental human mortality. Females and poorly educated people were more susceptible to the low temperatures. These findings imply that interventions which target vulnerable populations during cold days should be developed to reduce accidental human mortality risk. Along with the climate change, the effect of temperature on human mortality remains an issue of increasing public health significance worldwide 1. The considerable temperature impact on human mortality have been extensively reported in many countries at global. For example, a global study including 306 communities across twelve countries /regions with varies climate patterns revealed both cold and hot temperatures increased the risk of non-accidental human mortality 2. A national study of mortality including 12 large cities in China found that 1 °C increase of moderately high temperature is associated with 4.6%, 4.2%, and 6.3% in mortality of non-accidental cause, circulatory disease and respiratory disease, respectively 3. The proportion of temperature-related stroke death was 17.7% in southern China 4. These findings highlight the adverse effects of temperature on non-accidental human mortality. However, most of previous studies on this subject have been focus on examining the effects of temperature on non-accidental human mortality and cause-specific human mortality, few studies have quantified the effects of temperature on accidental human mortality, especially in China, despite growing awareness of human vulnerability to weather change. Accidental human mortality was characterized by unexpected causes, and unintentional events or behavior, including transport accidents and other external causes of accidental injury, such as falls, accidental drowning and submersion, accidental poisoning. It is a well-recognized major cause of death and contributes significantly to health care costs and the burden on society...
