Injury direction

Webb cited data from the CARfile study of the U.S. Department of Transportation in 1985, which reported 1.4% of total accidents and 1.75% of fatal accidents were directly related to sleepiness (7). Lavie and Pollack studied 13,152 reports by the Israeli Police Department of hourly distribution of sleep-related motor vehicle accidents for 8 years, and found 390 injuries directly attributable to sleepiness (8). A special examiner at the scene assigned the reason for the accident. Lavie reported a highest yearly estimate of 1.0% motor vehicle accidents attributable to sleepiness (personal communication to Webb). 

In summary, the pathological and immunopathological findings in AMAN suggest that antibody-mecUated injury directed against axonal antigens plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis of this disorder.

HBV is not considered a cytopathic virus in certain circumstances, however, it can cause direct cytotoxic liver injury. Direct cytopathic liver injury can occur when the viral load is very high, as in the rare fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis. After the HBV enters the vascular compartment, it migrates to the liver, where primary replication occurs. The incubation period of HBV is 1 to 6 months—much longer than HAV. HBV replication occurs in liver cell nuclei, with HBsAg produced in the cell cytoplasm and expressed on the cell surface. These particles are also found circulating in the plasma of patients with acute HBV, the chronic carrier state, and chronic HBV infection. ... 

A hot bitumen splash may cause serious eye injury. Direct contact with cut-back, emulsions and small particles of cold hard bitumens may cause eye irritation (CONCAWE 1992). 

Injury. In the case of this factor, it is assumed that the typical injuries directly resulting from accidents include lacerations and fractures.
