“…Not only can patients undergo painless neurosurgery, but with the development of visualization techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and neuroendoscopy. Diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases have become more reliable [ 4 ]. Tamborska et al stated that the Neurosurgical Navigation System (NNS) concept originated in the 1990s [ 5 ].…”

In order to solve the problem of nursing education of lateral oblique complications, a nursing education solution of lateral oblique complications of neurosurgery under the microscope was proposed. The method used subjective evaluation and objective evaluation to systematically evaluate the basic training module. In subjective evaluation, the authenticity score of surgical simulator was 3.65 ± 0.01 , the realism score of surgical instruments was 3.81 ± 0.01 , the realism score of tactile sense was 3.75 ± 0.01 , the operating environment score was 3.60 ± 0.01 , and the overall effect score was 3.63 ± 0.01 . The difficulty score of the whole training was 3.15 ± 0.01 . In the aspect of objective evaluation, the entropy method was used to process the data of training track, training angle, training time, trigger times, success times, failure times, and other indicators of 24 trainers collected, and the experiment verified the nursing education of lateral oblique complications of neurosurgery under the microscope.

“…A motorcycle crash might have fewer injuries because the impact of the crash throws the rider and passenger off the bike which limits the number of injuries, while in an enclosed compartment of a vehicle, the momentum of the crash is transmitted to the patient inside, hence more injuries. A retrospective review of motorcycle trauma at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan reported that 19.5% of all victims had poly trauma [30] . Commonest regions affected are limbs, chest, and abdomen.…”

“…Therefore, as part of medical assistance at a scene, it is important to treat each participant of such an accident as potentially traumatized in these areas [23]. To reduce the potential risk factors resulting from injuries, a rapid trauma examination should be performed to look for life-threatening injuries [24,25].…”

Introduction: Single-track vehicles (including, among others, scooters, bicycles, mopeds, and motorcycles) are becoming increasingly popular means of transport, especially in large cities. A significant disadvantage of single-track vehicles is the low level of protection of users’ bodies during road accidents, which causes life-threatening injuries. The aim of this study is to characterize the injuries of users of single-track vehicles. Material and methods: An analysis of medical documentation of the ambulance service in the region of central Poland covered cases in 2019–2020. Out of 17,446 interventions, a group of 248 road incidents involving single-track vehicles was selected. The data included the scene of the event, the sociodemographic data of the casualties, the injuries suffered, and the clinical diagnoses. Analyses of the correlation of variables with the chi-squared and Spearman’s Rho tests were applied. All results were considered significant at p < 0.05. Results: In the analyzed period, trips of men accounted for 83.5% of all of the interventions (n = 207), while trips of women accounted for 16.5% (n = 41). The mean age of the victims was 45.66 years (SD ± 20.45). Taking into account the division of single-track vehicles, individual cases were recorded with the participation of bicycles (n = 183), motorcycles (n = 61), and scooters (n = 4). Taking into account the type of event, the following were distinguished: deductions (n = 62), falls (n = 179), and sickness (n = 7). The most common injuries were to the heads of cyclists (n = 101, which constitutes 55.19% of all injuries), lower limb injuries in motorcyclists (n = 35; 57.38%), and head injuries in scooter users (n = 3; 75%). The locations of sustained injuries significantly correlated with the type of vehicle in the cases of head injuries (p = 0.046), spine/back injuries (p = 0.001), pelvis injuries (p = 0.021), and lower limb injuries (p = 0.001). Conclusions: The users of single-track vehicles injured in road accidents were more often men than women. The characteristics of the injuries depended on the type of vehicle. The lack of adequate body protection significantly increases the likelihood of death or damage to health. It is advisable to promote safety rules among users of single-track vehicles, with a particular emphasis on the protection of individual parts of the body.
