교통사고 중 차대보행자 사고의 원인분석은 차대차 사고에 비해 관련 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 국내에서도 차대차 사고의 경우에는 실차충돌실험을 통해 많은 자료를 축척하고 이를 체계화하여 다각적인 방법으로 실제 교통사고에 적용하려는 노력이 있으나 차대보행자 사고의 경우에는 아직 시작단계라고 볼 수 있다. 선진국에서는 차대보행자 사고에 대하여 더미를 이용한 실차충돌실험을 통해 많은 모형을 개발하였고, 이를 보행자사고의 정확한 원인분석을 위해 활용하고 있다. 국내에서는 차대보행자 사고의 해석과 관련된 모형이 개발되지 않아 외국의 모형을 그대로 활용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 외국의 모형을 이용하게 되면 차량과 보행자의 체위특성이 다른 경우 왜곡된 결과가 도출될 가능성이 많게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 그 동안 수집된 보행자 사고자료를 이용하여 국내 실정에 적합한 차대보행자 충돌모형을 개발하였다. 그 결과 차량의 속도에 따라 외국의 모형과는 다소 상이한 결과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 외국의 모형 중에서는 차량 및 보행자의 체위 특성이 유사한 일본의 모형과 가장 흡사한 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 수십개의 자료를 이용한 것으로 장래에 보다 폭넓은 자료를 통하여 모형의 신뢰성을 높이는 노력이 필요하다고 판단된다.

The injury accidents in fishing vessels account for $67.2\%$ of all marine injury casualties$(1997\~2001)$ and is on an increasing trend every year. Also, it is remarkable for the injury accidents to be basically caused by human errors. This study aims to investigate the human error of injury accidents in fishing vessels and presents the injury preventing program in them. Human errors were analysed by the methods such as SHELL & Reason Hybrid Model, GEMS Model adopted by International Maritime Organization(IMO). Based on the analysis, the following propositions were made to reduce the fishing vessels accidents by human errors : improvement of hazard awareness and quality of personnel, establishment of safety management system, and enforcement of vessels inspection.

Just in case a patient's state couldn't get better or get even worse after medical practices, it is difficult for the patient's side to accept the result and it tends to think that its damage is caused by his doctor's malpractice. Medical practices of a doctor require highly advanced attention duty as a medical expert, because they are targeted at a human body of the best benefit and protection of the law. However, it is hard to prove the malpractice on the patient's side in medical dispute. Therefore, to solve a medical dispute quickly and fairly before the medical suit Korea Consumer Agency (KCA) has done a medical dispute adjustment business since 1999. For the past 5 years (2006~2010), the medical team of KCA had managed 4,171 cases as an injury relief, but it had dealt with them focusing on an injury relief business only after the occurrence of a medical accident. Afterwards, it is necessary to expand the range of its services in purpose of preventing the injury of consumers. If we can solve the problems -the clear statements about the cease of extinctive prescription in the fundamentals of comsumer act, the presence of parties directly concerned at comsumer dispute adjustment committee, and the effect of an agreement, etc. -, which have been founded in medical injury relief service of KCA and the management and procedures of the comsumer dispute adjustment committee of KCA and if we can also give KCA more workers and the proper budget of the government, we can expect KCA to become a more useful agency.

Purpose: The regional emergency medical centers manage the patients with major blunt trauma according to the process appropriate to each hospital rather than standardized protocol of the major trauma centers. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and influence on prognosis of additional cervical-thoracic-lumbar-spine computed tomography (CTL-spine CT) scan in diagnosis of spinal injury from the victim of major blunt trauma with impaired consciousness. Methods: The study included patients visited the urban emergency medical center with major blunt trauma who were over 18 years of age from January 2013 to December 2016. Data were collected from retrospective review of medical records. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were measured for evaluation of the performance of diagnostic methods. Results: One hundred patients with Glasgow coma scale ${\leq}13$ underwent additional CTL-spine CT scan. Mechanism of injury was in the following order: driver, pedestrian traffic accident, fall and passenger accident. Thirty-one patients were diagnosed of spinal injury, six of them underwent surgical management. The sensitivity of chest, abdomen and pelvis CT (CAP CT) was 72%, specificity 97%, false positive rate 3%, false negative rate 28% and diagnostic accuracy 87%. Eleven patients were not diagnosed of spinal injury with CAP CT and C-spine lateral view, but all of them were diagnosed of stable fractures. Conclusions: C-spine CT scan be actively considered in the initial examination process. When CAP CT scan is performed in major blunt trauma patients with impaired consciousness, CTL-spine CT scan or simple spinal radiography has no significant effect on the prognosis of the patient and can be performed if necessary.

Traumatic blunt aortic injury especially on proximal ascending aorta is a rare injury with a few reports. Generally emergency surgical management was performed. In this case, however, in multiple trauma with brain injury, emergency surgical management of aortic injury might result in unexpected secondary injury of the brain. Herein, we report a case of a 33-year-old man who was driving a truck was injured in a head-on collision. Evaluation revealed a pseudoaneurysm on his ascending aorta concomitant with epidural hemorrhage. He was treated by surgical management of his ascending aorta after 3 days from accident. There were no postoperative and neurologic complications and the patient was discharged after 18 days.

This study analyzed contributing factors affecting leg injury severity in pedestrian-vehicle crashes. A Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) method was used to identify the factors. Independent variables include characteristics for pedestrian, vehicle, road, and environmental conditions. The leg injury severity is classified into two classes, which are dependent variables in this study, such as 'severe' and 'minor' injuries. Pedestrian age, collision speed, and the height of vehicle were identified as significant factors for the leg injury. The probabilistic outcome of predicting leg injury severity can be effectively used in not only deriving pedestrian-related safety policies but also developing advanced vehicular technologies for pedestrian protection.
