The aim of this study was to investigate driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) risk profiles and predictors in a sample of pre-driving Brazilian youth, in the context of Brazil's new Traffic Code. Data were obtained in the Traffic Department in São Paulo from a sample of 2166 individuals. Subjects displayed a low level of knowledge about the laws and few believed the penalties would actually be enforced for those engaging in DUI. Findings suggest that changes in DUI laws in Brazil and elsewhere should be accompanied by enforcement and education in order to enhance levels of knowledge and credibility of the sanctions.

STUDY DESIGN: Case report of a rare burst fracture of the ninth thoracic vertebra in an 8-month-old male infant. OBJECTIVES: To describe a rare traumatic lesion in an infant. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: There are two reported cases of fracture-dislocation in an infant in the literature, both of which were managed surgically. However, this is the first reported clinical case of burst fracture in an infant. METHODS: The patient was treated conservatively and observed for 40 months. His spine was examined by using roentgenography and magnetic resonance imaging. His neurologic condition was evaluated by clinical examination and somatosensory-evoked potential (SEP). RESULTS: The infant became ambulant with no need for support 2 years after injury. At that time, the burst vertebra was remodeling gradually and showed no spinal deformity. CONCLUSION: Fracture-dislocation of the spine with neurologic deficit requires surgical management. However, burst fracture can be managed conservatively, provided the neurologic condition improves.
