Abstract Rationale About 50% of hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) developed myocardial damage. The mechanisms direct SARS-CoV-2 cardiomyocyte infection include viral invasion via ACE2-Spike glycoprotein-binding. In DM patients, the impact glycation ACE2 on by can be high importance. Objective To evaluate presence in cardiomyocytes from heart autopsy cases compared to Non-DM; investigate role SARS-COV-2 entry cardiomyocytes. Methods and...
Estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) is one of major tasks and a continuous challenge in forensic pathology. It often an exclusion process available methods, which ultimately can lead to unsatisfactory outcome due poor reliability. This problem most acute late PMI, when decomposition proceeds some methods (such as rigor, livor, algor mortis) are no longer applicable. Several such entomology, skeletal muscle protein degradation, study body by application morphological scoring, expected...
Introduction Clinical case reports enrich medical literature by presenting rare issues. However, that do not adhere to a standard template often lack rigor and limit their usefulness in clinical guidance. Several guidelines for reporting have been structured, while further improvements are still required. The current guideline (CaReL) aims enhance the comprehensiveness of integrating detailed review. Methods In total, 56 researchers were selected based on specific publication criteria...
Abstract During the course of our forensic investigations, we have encountered situations where it would been useful to evidence, other than direct contact between two, for concluding that a carrion-fly maggot developed on particular human victim. If collected during death investigation did not develop victim, then its age is relevant estimating postmortem interval. In this study demonstrate mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence data can be obtained from dissected gut had fed tissue. These used...
Three cases of forensic interest regarding the estimation postmortem interval (PMI) by entomological data are presented. The three concerning criminal investigations were performed in Southern Italy Entomological Laboratory Institute Forensic Medicine at University Bari. For each case authors present a detailed description remains as observed crime scene and arthropods collected from remains. PMI was based on comparison autopsy reports (rate decay), local environmental conditions...
The postmortem diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction represents a current challenge for forensic pathologists, particularly when death occurs within minutes to few hours after the ischemic insult. Among adult population single most important cause sudden cardiac (SCD) is well-known atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, commonly asymptomatic or unrecognized. recognition early damage using routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining possible only if has occurred at least 6 onset injury....
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...
Abstract In forensic anthropology, personal identification is mainly performed through a qualitative assessment and comparison of morphological bone dental features between antemortem postmortem data. Although non-metric traits have been traditionally considered as individualizing features, their potential has limitedly investigated. Indeed, frequencies variants can represent an additional tool to provide probabilities likelihood ratios that individual presents combination traits, hence...
Eight measurements taken on the right calcaneus (maximum length, load arm width, minimum height of calcaneus, body height, breadth facies articularis talaris posterior, and cuboidea) a known contemporary Southern Italian skeletal population (40 males 40 females) were used to determine sex by multivariate discriminant analysis. Three functions revealed correct sex-determination 85%. These obtained association following parameters: maximum width art. post. (function no. 1); length 2); cuboidea...
Entomological evidence is most often used for estimating the postmortem interval, but fly larvae can also be a source of vertebrate DNA. Forensic analysis DNA recovered from larva's gut to identify what larva had been feeding on. During our previous research studies, we same extraction dual purpose identifying insect species and associating maggot with its last meal. In experience, have encountered several situations where this method corpse would useful, such as removal remains suspected...
