Article Abstract
Objective: To analyze the mortality trend of young men who were victims of traffic injuries involving motorcycles in all Brazilian capitals from 2001 to 2015.
Methods: A time-series study on all deaths of men aged 20-39 years old due to traffic injuries involving motorcycles in all 27 Brazilian capitals. We used the joinpoint regression model for temporal analysis and calculated the Annual Percent Change (APC) and Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) to verify the mortality trends.
Results: A total of 12,058 deaths of young men were recorded in the Brazilian capitals during the period studied. The highest mortality rates were observed in Boa Vista/Roraima (34.0/100,000 population) and Palmas/Tocantins (29.80/100,000). Twelve of the 27 capitals showed an increasing trend in mortality, with the highest percentage increase being observed in Salvador (APC: 29.0%) and São Paulo (APC: 13.1%). None of the capitals showed a decline in the trend of mortality.
Conclusions: Overall, the mortality of young men from traffic injuries involving motorcycles shows an increasing trend in 12 of the 27 capitals, which represents a public health problem that requires the implementation of more effective public policies.

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.

Pedestrian injuries remain a public health concern, with child pedestrians being particularly vulnerable due to their unique physical and cognitive characteristics. This study presents a comprehensive analysis comparing injury severity patterns between child (≤14 years) and non-child (>14 years) pedestrians using Lasso logistic regression and advanced machine learning techniques, specifically Catboost with SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values to interpret the models. By analyzing six years of national crash data from the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) from 2016 to 2021, we identify significant factors influencing injury outcomes for both age groups.

Introduction: Proximal humeral fracture-dislocations (PHF-D) are complex injuries, often requiring urgent intervention. However, management protocols remain unclear when anatomical reduction of the glenohumeral joint is achieved, but significant displacement of the greater tuberosity persists. The lack of consensus on whether to reclassify such injuries after reduction creates uncertainty in rehabilitation strategies.

Case: A 15-year-old adolescent boy sustained complete right brachial plexus paralysis after a motorcycle crash in 1998. Two months later, he underwent double free muscle transfer (DFMT) at our institution. Over 26 years, he retained practical hand function and returned to full-time work as a piping installer.
