The aim of this study was to test the sexual dimorphism of orbital measurements
in the Croatian population using multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) images.
We have retrospectively taken 414 head CT scans of adults from Croatian clinical
hospitals in Split and Zagreb (214 males and 200 females) with slice
thickness < 1 mm and no pathological or traumatic changes that could affect the

A homemade furnace. Influence of occupational skills in a fire-related planned complex suicideForensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 14 - Trang 109-113 - 2018
Chiara Palazzo, Paolo Fais, Maria Carla Mazzotti, Rosa Maria Gaudio, Guido Pelletti, Susi Pelotti
The term “planned complex suicide” means the combination of more than one method
of suicide, planned to prevent failure of the first method to ensure a fatal
outcome. Professional skills and tools are sometimes used to plan and perpetrate
the suicide. A case of planned complex suicide of a mechanical engineer working
with furnaces in a tube factory is herein reported. The suicide was committed in

Pneumosinus Dilatans frontalis: a case of incidental autopsy diagnosisForensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 15 - Trang 646-648 - 2019
Lorenzo Gitto, Serenella Serinelli
Pneumosinus Dilatans Frontalis (PDF) is a rare pathologic condition
characterized by expansion and hyper aeration of the frontal sinuses. This
abnormality has been described in otolaryngology, ophthalmology, neurology, and
radiology journals, while only a few autopsy studies are reported in the English
literature. The etiology of this condition remains unclear, although multiple
theories have been... hiện toàn bộ
Is ancestry, not natron, an explanation for fair haired children in Greco-Roman Egypt?Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 16 - Trang 207-215 - 2020
Janet Davey, Gale Spring
In an examination of three unwrapped mummified children from the Graeco-Roman
Period of ancient Egypt there was an unexpected finding of fair hair. In the
majority of unwrapped ancient Egyptian mummified bodies the hair was not fair
but rather dark brown or black. To determine if exposure to natron during the
mummification process was responsible for the fair hair color an experiment was
carried o... hiện toàn bộ

Electric scooter–related accidents: a possible protective effect of helmet use on the head injury severityForensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 19 - Trang 319-324 - 2022
Francesca Cittadini, Giovanni Aulino, Martina Petrucci, Silvia Valentini, Marcello Covino
Despite electric scooter use has proliferated in Italy since 2019, actionable
data regarding injury incidence and patterns associated with electric scooter
accidents are limited. This study aims at analyzing the rate, clinical, and
demographic features of electric scooter accidents accessed to the Emergency
Department (ED) of Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCSS (Rome,
Italy). Thi... hiện toàn bộ
Human DNA collection from police dogs: technique and applicationForensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 17 - Trang 230-234 - 2021
Alexandra Brower, Brice Akridge, Nancy Siemens-Bradley
Police dogs are routinely deployed during criminal investigations under a
variety of circumstances. In instances where police dogs are involved in
apprehension of suspects, contact with a suspect may be observed or may occur
out of the line of sight. The interactions between suspect and dog may include
the dog biting the suspect, or the suspect touching or exuding bodily fluids
onto the dog. In ei... hiện toàn bộ
Non-traumatic causes of perianal hemorrhage and excoriation in the youngForensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 4 - Trang 159-163 - 2008
Roger W. Byard, Terence G. Donald, Guy N. Rutty
The discovery at autopsy or at a death scene of fresh perianal hemorrhage and/or
cutaneous excoriation in a young child is always of concern as this raises the
possibility of inflicted injury. Three cases are reported where perianal
bleeding and excoriation that were initially considered due to possible sexual
assault were subsequently found to be of a non-suspicious nature. Case 1: A

Combined determination of B-type natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity troponin I in the postmortem diagnosis of cardiac diseaseForensic Science, Medicine and Pathology - Tập 15 - Trang 528-535 - 2019
Rafael Bañón, Diana Hernández-Romero, Esperanza Navarro, María Dolores Pérez-Cárceles, José Antonio Noguera-Velasco, Eduardo Osuna
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 ... hiện toàn bộ
