Injury control

The Environmental Health Laboratory Sciences Division of the Center for Environmental Health and Injury Control, Centers for Disease Control, is developing methods for the analysis of bromomethane and other volatile organic compounds in blood. These methods use purge and trap methodology and magnetic mass spectrometry which gives detection limits in the low parts per trillion range. 

Figure 4 Hypercholesterolemic rabbit carotid artery 30 days after balloon injury. Photomicrographs of Verhoff s tissue elastin staining of (A,C) full-size and (B,D) higher magnification sections from (A,B) control, (C,D) liposomal alendronate treated (3mg/kg intravenous, at the time of injury). Control animals were treated with buffer, free BP (alendronate), or empty liposomes and grouped as control (n — 20 arteries/group, P<0.05). Abbreviation BP, bisphosphonate.

For diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-11 (Creatinine clearance betwem normal and 60 mL/min/1.73 m ), stage-independent actions such as control of cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and smoking), avoidance of drug toxicity and diagnostic injury, control of progression, and reduction of proteinuria are essential.

To appreciate the significance of these power functions for injury and injury control, consider the two tables prepared by Hauer and Bonneson (2006), using the data prepared by Elvik et ah (2004), and reproduced in Table 8-3. The cell entries in these tables are the best estimates of the increase or decrease in risk, with changes in average speed. The left table is for injury...
