ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Four large pickups offer strong protection in side crashes but fall short when it comes to protecting passengers in the back seat.

Key Points: 
  • ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Four large pickups offer strong protection in side crashes but fall short when it comes to protecting passengers in the back seat.
  • However, in the updated moderate overlap front crash test, which now emphasizes back seat safety, only the Tundra manages a marginal rating.
  • Rather, the front seat has become safer because of improved airbags and advanced seat belts that are rarely available in back.
  • All four pickups provided good protection in the front seat.

ARLINGTON, Va., June 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most small pickups fall short when it comes to protecting passengers seated in the rear, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.

Key Points: 
  • ARLINGTON, Va., June 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most small pickups fall short when it comes to protecting passengers seated in the rear, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.
  • “Our updated moderate overlap front crash test proved to be challenging for small pickups,” said IIHS President David Harkey.
  • All these things tell us that the rear seat belts need improvement.”
    None of the five small crew cab pickups IIHS tested earns a good rating.
  • The Ford Ranger earns a marginal rating, and the Chevrolet Colorado, Jeep Gladiator and Toyota Tacoma are all rated poor.

ARLINGTON, Va., May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most small cars don’t provide good protection for rear-seat passengers, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.

Key Points: 
  • ARLINGTON, Va., May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most small cars don’t provide good protection for rear-seat passengers, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.
  • “These results highlight one of the key reasons that we updated our moderate overlap front crash test,” said IIHS President David Harkey.
  • IIHS launched the updated moderate overlap front test last year after research showed that in newer vehicles the risk of a fatal injury is now higher for belted occupants in the rear than for those in front.
  • To encourage manufacturers to improve rear-seat protection, the updated test adds a dummy in the back seat behind the driver.

ARLINGTON, Va., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most midsize SUVs offer inadequate front crash protection for passengers seated in the rear, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.

Key Points: 
  • ARLINGTON, Va., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most midsize SUVs offer inadequate front crash protection for passengers seated in the rear, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.
  • Although the test still includes a driver dummy, rear passenger protection is the main thing currently differentiating vehicles in this test.
  • Of 13 midsize SUVs tested, only four — the Ford Explorer, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Subaru Ascent and Tesla Model Y — earn good ratings.
  • This isn’t because the rear seat has become less safe, but because restraint technologies have only improved in the front seat.

“The original moderate overlap test was our first evaluation and the lynchpin of the Institute’s crash testing program,” said IIHS President David Harkey.

Key Points: 
  • “The original moderate overlap test was our first evaluation and the lynchpin of the Institute’s crash testing program,” said IIHS President David Harkey.
  • However, the additional measurements provided by the new test show that most of them don’t provide adequate protection for the rear passenger’s head and neck — the most vulnerable areas of the body.
  • Features like rear seat airbags and seat belts that themselves inflate to mitigate the effects of crash forces could help too.
  • The test speed, offset and barrier used in the new test remain the same as in the original one.

The clinical utility of subphenotypic assessment in ARDS would require validation in a prospective clinical study.

Key Points: 
  • The clinical utility of subphenotypic assessment in ARDS would require validation in a prospective clinical study.
  • In current clinical practice, risk stratification for patients with ARDS solely depends on the PaO2/FiO2 clinical measure.
  • The retrospective analysis drew on data from six randomized clinical trials in adult patients with ARDS (five U.S. and one international study).
  • Identification of acute respiratory distress syndrome subphenotypes de novo using routine clinical data: a retrospective analysis of ARDS clinical trials.

The main module of this suite provides physicians with a rich mapping of the lungs, by segmenting the airways on CT scans.

Key Points: 
  • The main module of this suite provides physicians with a rich mapping of the lungs, by segmenting the airways on CT scans.
  • Lung mapping is a complex task, since segmentation becomes more challenging as the surgeon gets closer to the most distal airways.
  • RSIP Vision's lungs mapping module is able to identify the most sensitive airways and confers the surgeon the faculty to navigate the lung with full knowledge of all items.
  • Pleura is frequently involved in chest trauma and preventing its damage is critical to a successful lung surgery.
