Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of alcohol in fatally injured motorcyclists and to determine the factors that are related to the prevalence worldwide. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed/Medline, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Google Scholar until 2018. Point prevalence with 95% confidence intervals was estimated. The variances of each study were calculated using by binomial distribution formula. Heterogeneity among the studies was tested using Cochran's Q test with a significance level less than .1. The index of changes attributed to heterogeneity (I2) was assessed. Regarding the heterogeneity of the studies, a random effects model was employed to combine the results of the studies. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA Ver. 11 using the meta-analysis commands. Results: Of 916 articles from 2011 to 2018, 12 studies were examined and analyzed based on inclusion criteria. The prevalence of alcohol in fatally injured motorcyclists was 0.30 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.25-0.35). Subgroup analysis based on the type of country showed that the prevalence of alcohol in fatally injured motorcyclists in developing countries was 34% (95% CI, 0.18-0.49), which was higher tha...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
