INTRODUCTION
Every year, 4500 children die in motor-vehicle crashes in the United States, with estimated costs of more than $40,000 and $240 billion in productivity losses. The majority of deaths and injuries are associated with improper use of restraint devices, alcohol, high speeds, and built environments.
METHODOLOGY
This is a retrospective study using U.S. panel data from 1997 through 2005. Data sources included the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the U.S. Census Bureau, the Atlas of Presidential Elections, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This study used conditional fixed effects negative binomial regression to analyze the effect of the covariates on mortality by state and year.
RESULTS
A total of 32,893 children died in motor-vehicle crashes (MVCs). States that allowed fines greater than $50 for lack of restraint use experienced significant reductions in mortality as well as states with laws allowing the use of red light cameras. Graduate licensing programs requiring a minimum age of 16 for the intermediate-level experienced mortality reductions as much as 90% compared with a minimum age of 14. Higher posted speeds were associated with higher mortality rates, particularly on local roads.
CONCLUSION
This research focuses on the effects injury prevention laws have on mortality, but not on how effectively these laws are implemented and/or enforced. Results may be useful to policy-makers and public health practitioners involved in injury prevention and public health. Practical applications: Design appropriate education and training programs in road safety, implement effective road safety interventions and improve traffic safety legislation.

Review
Since thirty years, cardiovascular mortality fell. That is linked, on the one hand, to an earlier and a more harsh care of the acute accident, and on the other hand, to development of the prophylactic treatment. But cardiovascular diseases stay the main cause of death in the most of western countries, in France in women, and in subjects over 65 years. That's why it is necessary to detect people with a high cardio-vascular risk before any complications so that they can be treated earlier and with an intensive mode. It relates to a global risk which is multifactorial, conducting to a treatment based on the evidence based medicine but also fitting to each patient and which requires his participation to the prevention. This is a 4P physical medicine: predictive, preventive, personalized and participative.

Review
The primary prevention of cardiovascular disease relies on the ability to identify at-risk individuals long before the development of overt events. In the past decade, research into circulating, genetic and imaging biomarkers to augment traditional methods of risk prediction has only achieved modest success. Emerging technologies in the fields of genomics, metabolomics and proteomics are providing new platforms for biomarker discovery. Here, we review current concepts in the evaluation and discovery of cardiovascular biomarkers. Further research is needed to identify new biomarkers to successfully stratify risk of cardiovascular disease in low-risk populations, as well as to test whether management strategies informed by biomarker testing are better than standard of care.
