Clutching a battered stick, in nothing but a T-shirt and shorts, the fourth grader lunged as his two older brothers pounded balls past and sometimes into his unprotected head.
In this model, diazepam (1 mg/kg) and gabapentin (10 mg/kg) significantly increased the percentage of time spent in the open areas (%TO) and the number of unprotected head dips (uHDIPS), and reduced the number of protected head dips (pHDIPS) and stretch attend postures (SAP) from close to open arm.
He's never been sent off before but, if you put your shoulder into another player's unprotected head, you're going to get sent off.
His post-mortem examination established that Lawrence had suffered "severe lacerations and damage to the brain" when his unprotected head struck the ground.
Muay Thai is a style of kickboxing that allows full-contact blows to an unprotected head, torso and legs, and, as in any combat sport, there is an inherent risk of injury.
I'm sure you can recall times when people rolled their stress onto your unprotected head.
The following behavioural variables were recorded, counting both number and duration: entries into an open arm, entry into a closed arm and unprotected head-dipping (the animal extending its head into the open, below the open arm).
Despite this, little research has been conducted investigating the dynamics of impacts to the unprotected human head and injury causation in vivo, in particular the roles of linear and angular head acceleration.
Few respondents identified having blue/green eyes (10%, n = 12), red hair/freckles (37%, n = 36) or an unprotected balding head (45%, n = 53) as risk factors for developing skin cancer.
32 The specific aims of the study were to (1) investigate the dynamics, impact location and kinematics, of no-injury and concussive impacts to the unprotected human head and (2) consider concussion tolerance values.
