Combined determination of B-type natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity troponin I in the postmortem diagnosis of cardiac disease
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 15 - Trang 528-535 - 2019
Cardiac disease is the most common cause of sudden death in Western countries. It is known that high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-cTnI), widely used for detection of myocardial injury, is a sensitive biochemical marker. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a reliable tool for diagnosing heart failure, and for establishing prognosis or disease severity. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ......
Comparative analysis of the pattern of intimate partner violence against women admitted to a tertiary hospital in Sri Lanka during and after the periods of COVID-19 lockdown
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - - Trang 1-7 - 2023
Lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in restrictions on people’s ability to move, allowing more time for intimate partners—this increased opportunities for intimate partner violence (IPV), especially against women. The study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of IPV against women during and after the lockdown period. A prospective, descriptive study on female victims of IPV p......
Potentially preventable infant and child deaths identified at autopsy; findings and implications
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 11 - Trang 358-364 - 2015
The purpose of the study was to determine the proportion of pediatric deaths investigated by HM Coronial autopsy which were potentially preventable deaths due to treatable natural disease, and what implications such findings may have for health policies to reduce their occurrence. A retrospective study of 1779 autopsies of individuals between 7 days and 14 years of age requested by HM Coroner, tak......
Fatal iatrogenic cardiac tamponade due to central venous catheterization
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 18 - Trang 275-279 - 2022
Fatal adverse events caused by any health professional as consequence of malpractice are uncommon. In this work, the authors report a fatal cardiac tamponade associated with a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) by the right jugular vein that perforated the right atrium of the heart. The diagnosis of cardiac tamponade was not detected in hospital during the intrapericardial infusion of t......
Neuropathological alterations in drug abusers
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 2 - Trang 115-126 - 2006
Because the effects of drug abuse on the cellular elements of the human brain have not been studied systematically, an investigation was performed using histology, immunohistochemistry, and morphometry. The main cortical and subcortical brain areas of 50 polydrug deaths were analyzed as compared with controls. In the brains of drug abusers, a significant neuronal loss was present. Interestingly, t......
Estimation of postmortem interval using histological and oxidative biomarkers in human bone marrow
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - - Trang 1-10 - 2023
In forensic medicine, estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) is of great importance for the timeline and the reconstruction of the events surrounding death. Bone marrow (BM) is one of the largest organs in the body, with good resistance to autolysis and contamination. Therefore, the present study aims to correlate different postmortem intervals and bone marrow antioxidant enzyme levels using an ......
Can postmortem computed tomography detect antemortem hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy?
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 12 - Trang 267-275 - 2016
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of brain postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) findings for the detection of global hypoxia or hypoperfusion leading to hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) prior to death. Cadavers of individuals who died from non-traumatic causes were subjected to PMCT and pathological autopsy. Cases with an episode of cardiopulmonary arrest, hypoxia, or ......
Blunt force impact to the head using a teeball bat: systematic comparison of physical and finite element modeling
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 10 - Trang 513-517 - 2014
Blunt head trauma secondary to violent actions with various weapons is frequently a cause of injury in forensic casework; differing striking tools have varying degrees of injury capacity. The systematic approach used to examine a 19-year-old student who was beaten with a wooden teeball bat will be described. The assailant stopped beating the student when the teeball bat broke into two pieces. The......
DNA detective: a review of molecular approaches to wildlife forensics
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 6 - Trang 180-194 - 2009
Illegal trade of wildlife is growing internationally and is worth more than USD$20 billion per year. DNA technologies are well suited to detect and provide evidence for cases of illicit wildlife trade yet many of the methods have not been verified for forensic applications and the diverse range of methods employed can be confusing for forensic practitioners. In this review, we describe the various......
