Article Abstract
This study examines the relationship between substance use and behaviors that increase the risk for motor vehicle crashes and crash-related injuries. The investigation uses National College Health Risk Behavior Survey data collected in 1995 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These data are representative of 2- and 4-year undergraduate college students in private and public colleges and universities in the United States. Smokers, episodic heavy drinkers, marijuana users and users of illegal drugs in combination with alcohol were significantly more likely to drive after drinking alcohol and ride with a driver who had been drinking alcohol and significantly less likely to wear safety belts while driving or while riding in a car as a passenger. This study indicates that college students who are substance users are more likely to behave in a manner which increases their risk for motor vehicle crashes and motor vehicle crash injuries.

The steer-by-wire (SbW) system, as the core component of vehicle steering, needs to track the front wheel angle accurately. To mitigate the angle tracking accuracy degradation caused by D-Q axes coupling, time-varying motor electrical parameters, and load disturbance, a fractional-order adaptive fuzzy decentralized tracking control (FAFDTC) strategy is proposed in this paper. First, considering time-varying motor parameters, D-Q axes coupling, and fractional-order characteristics of components, a fractional-order SbW interconnected system is constructed to enhance its ability to characterize nonlinearities, time-varying dynamics, and system coupling.

Background: Tracheobronchial injuries (TBI) are rare yet potentially fatal complications of blunt chest trauma, often underdiagnosed due to nonspecific clinical manifestations.
Case Presentation: We report the case of an 11-year-old Arab girl who developed progressive dyspnea two months after a motor vehicle accident initially managed conservatively. Imaging revealed complete atelectasis of the right lung and obstruction of the right main bronchus by granulation tissue.
Effects of aging and risk-taking behaviors on fatal injuries among old motorcyclists in Taiwan: Evidence from 2011 to 2022.

Background And Objectives: Fatality rates of motor vehicle crashes among the old population have risen, primarily in association with age-related declines in health and functional abilities. Comparatively little research has been conducted to examine the impacts of risk-taking behaviors (such as unhelmeted, unlicensed, and drunk riding) on fatalities among old motorcyclists.
Materials And Methods: This study employed the Taiwan National Traffic Crash Dataset from 2011 to 2022 to investigate fatal injuries among old motorcyclists.

Age is the most significant risk factor for Parkinson's disease, a common and progressive neurodegenerative disorder; however, exposure to toxic substances is also strongly implicated. Rotenone, an organic pesticide, induces neuropathological features of Parkinson's disease, and is widely used to create rodent models of the condition. Although the molecular mechanisms involved in the onset and progression of the disease are still unknown, neurodegenerative diseases due to protein accumulation in certain areas of the brain, have been associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress.
