The COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-19) is the most urgent health emergency worldwide and all professionals are called to give support in diagnosis treatment of patients affected by this disease. Scientific Society Hospital Legal Medicine National Health System (COMLAS) Italian Anatomical Pathology Cytology (SIAPEC) produced document with intent offering a technical professional involved autoptic activities during Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic infection.
Estimation of the postmortem interval in advanced stages is a challenging task. Although there are several approaches available for addressing changes (human) body or its environment (ecologically and/or biochemically), most restricted to specific timeframes individual and environmental conditions. It well known, instance, that buried bodies decompose remarkably different manner than on ground surface. However, data how established methods PMI estimation perform under these conditions...
Introduction Retained surgical foreign bodies are supplies and devices unintentionally left at the site. They generally considered never events, albeit even full compliance with procedures can only minimize risk of their occurrence. As affected patients often allege gross negligence, hospitals forced to compensate for damages. Despite fact that physical consequences retention usually mild temporary, thus compensation paid may be hypothesized correspondently low, clear data on medico-legal...
The aim of the study was to analyze characteristics implant dentistry claims in Italy based on insurance company technical reports for malpractice claims.One hundred twenty-one cases professional between 2006 and 2010 were included study. Data sex age patient dentist, kind negligence claimed, damages awarded as a consequence alleged misconduct.Of examined this study, 9.9% went court. patients female 73.6% cases. Most errors committed during insertion (82.6%). In 50.4% cases, error involved...
Abstract: This study introduces a method to classify individuals according an age threshold, given sex and third molars’ dental maturity measured on the Demirjian scale by expressing uncertainty evidence (soft evidence). We introduced procedure learn parameters of Naïve Bayes model, we discussed two classification rules. The model was estimated tested 559 Italians aged 16–22. Two experts provided evaluations, for each them. evaluated coherence experts. Some indexes have been proposed...
Hanging is one of the most common methods suicide worldwide. Despite high incidence, only a little knowledge about pattern cadaver colonization by insects on hanging corpse available. Different types can alter body decomposition process as well and rate insect colonization. Two case studies where occurred with similar postmortem interval 34 days are described. The two bodies showed different patterns scored using Total Body Score (TBS) TBS for (TBShang). first was 24-years-old male,...
Teeth are known to be reliable substrates for human identification and endowed with significant sexual dimorphism not only in the size but also shape of crowns. In preliminary phase our study (already published 2021), a novel sex estimation method based on dental morphometric geometric (GMA) analysis combined artificial neural network (ANN) was developed validated single element (first upper premolar) an accuracy rate 80%. This aims experiment validate combination GMA-ANN first second left...
The age threshold of 14 years is relevant in Italy as the minimum for criminal responsibility. It utmost importance to evaluate diagnostic accuracy every odontological method evaluation considering sensitivity, or ability estimate true positive cases, and specificity, negative cases. research aims compare specificity sensitivity four commonly adopted methods dental estimation – Demirjian, Haavikko, Willems Cameriere a sample Italian children aged between 11 16 years, with an using receiver...
