ABSTRACT Introduction Contemporary dietary and nutritional transitions are commonplace, but difficult to study directly. In Brazil, Latin America, this generalized process, leading current obesity malnutrition problems, started more than four decades ago. Although body weight food availability used measure changes, not much information on consumption nutrition exist. Stable isotope analysis allows for the of modern individual diets because it reflects proportional contribution different...
Developing teeth are commonly the criteria used for age estimation in children and young adults. The method developed by Cameriere et al. (Int J Legal Med 2006;120:49-52) is based on measures of with open apex, application a formula, to estimate chronological children. present study evaluated sample panoramic radiographs from Brazilian 5 15 years age, evaluate accuracy proposed results has proven system reliable estimation, median residual error -0.014 between estimated ages (p = 0.603)....
Today, there is increasing use of CT scanning on a clinical basis, aiding in the diagnosis diseases or injuries. This exam also provides important information that allows identification individuals. paper reports scan skull, taken when victim was alive, for positive traffic accident which fingerprint analysis impossible. The authors emphasize tool primarily used and may contribute significantly to forensic purpose, allowing exploration virtual corpses before classic autopsy. scans might...

The femur has been commonly employed for sex determination of human skeletal remains, and it is a suitable alternative to the more sexually dimorphic pelvis when this region incomplete or fragmented. purposes study include evaluation femoral sexual dimorphism generation specific metric standards estimation with in Brazilian populations. Two hundred femora (130 males 70 females) known age at death, sex, ancestry were used generate models prediction. best estimators univariable models,...
Abstract The objective of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness rugoscopy as a human identification method, even when patient is submitted rapid palatal expansion, which in theory would introduce doubt. With intent, R ugoscopic I dentity obtained for each subject using classification formula proposed by Santos based on intra‐oral casts made before and after treatment from patients who were subjected expansion. labeled with patients' initials randomly arranged studying. palatine...
Firearms can cause fatal wounds, which be identified by traces on or around the body. However, there are cases where neither bullet nor gun is found at crime scene. Ballistic research involving finite element models reproduce computational biomechanical conditions, without compromising bioethics, as they involve no direct tests animals humans. This study aims to compare morphologies of gunshot entrance holes caused by.40-caliber Smith & Wesson (S&W), .380-caliber, and 9×19-mm Luger bullets....
Humans beings can be identified through a series of methods, being fingerprints the most widely adopted when soft tissue is preserved. However, cadaver carbonized or in skeletal form, forensic dental and anthropologic analysis may become necessary to identify individual. Medical documentation (mainly xray images) substantially improve chances identifying corpses initially deemed unrecognizable. This paper describes case which human remains could positively correlated identity missing person...
