The southern third of the region is occupied by the western Caucasus, which reach 12,434 feet (3,790 metres) at Mount Psysh (in the neighbouring Karachay-Cherkessia republic) and fall gradually in height westward as they run parallel to the Black Sea, from which they are separated by a narrow coastal plain.
However, there is fall in the height of the critical arch, which is the arch with the biggest possible width.
The resultant tsunami traces at TM1 and TM2 derived from the present simulation (inset of Fig. 2(a)) show a gradual fall in sea height from 0 to −1 m at TM2, and to −2 m at TM1 just after the earthquake (Stage A), followed by a sudden drop of the sea surface to −3 to −4 m at a later time (Stage B) at both stations.
The mechanism of injury was road-traffic accident in seven patients, fall from height in six and slipping onto ground in three.
Mechanism of injury was road traffic accident (RTA) in nine patients and fall from height in the other three cases.
The etiology of wrist injury was motor vehicle accident in 10 cases and fall from height in the other 10 cases.
A likely interpretation of these disappointing results is that the heavy burden of infectious diseases, and the associated chronic environmental gastroenteropathy that affects most children in developing countries and is the major cause of the precipitous fall-off in height-for-age in infancy, simply overwhelms attempts at intervention (31).
One of the major findings of the study is that some so-called developed nations have fallen in world height rankings.
Eighteen patients were injured in a road traffic accident and 12 patients in a fall from height.
The 20 29 and 30 39 age groups accounted for the highest number of deaths in RTA, fall from height, drug overdose, occupational injury, electric shock, mine explosion and poisoning, with p value <0.05.
Associated injuries were found in 18 cases, of which 12 were fracture of calcaneum, which is explicable because the most common mode of injury in our patients was fall from height, being the reason for trauma in 32 cases.
