Human bite mark evidence is often found in violent crimes. Due to the difficulties of physically comparing an injury site on elastic and curved skin surfaces teeth a suspect, authors have considered using salivary DNA identify perpetrator. Several techniques were evaluated determine best method recovering saliva from human before extracting genomic collection substrate. A classical stain recovery technique wet cotton swab was tested against one utilizing filter paper. Additionally, new...
The effectiveness of a hospital incident-reporting system (IRS) on improve patient safety is unclear. This study objective was to assess which implemented improvement actions after the analysis incidents reported were effective in reduce near-misses or adverse events. Patient (PSIs), near misses and events, notified IRS analyzed by local clinical leaders (CSLs) who propose implement actions. CSLs received training workshops tools. Following notification PSI IRS, prospective real-time...
Human bites in cases of homicide, sexual assault, and abuse are often distorted due to the elasticity curvature skin. Physical comparison a bite mark suspect's teeth is sometimes difficult. Saliva, which usually deposited during biting, can be collected analyzed identify perpetrator. Using simulated situations two experimental series, three samples 40 microL whole saliva were on skin 27 cadavers (at 33 sites) 100 5 12 sites). Saliva was using double swab technique at t = min, 24 h, 48 h. DNA...
The World Health Organization (WHO) developed an instrument to detect violence against women that has been widely used in several countries. Despite this instrument's importance identifying intimate partner (IPVAW), it not adapted for the Spanish population. aim of study was adapt and validate WHO a sample Spain, facilitating detection IPVAW context comparisons between countries.After translated into Spanish, 532 from general population Spain completed it. initial consisted 28 items. We...
Abstract Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most frequent type of experienced by women, with devastating consequences for their physical and mental health. Due to exposure women violence, perceptions interpretations situation may be distorted, making it difficult leave violent relationship. Exploring obstacles that must confront verbalize or ask help critical in preventing IPV against (IPVAW). For this purpose, two studies were implemented: Study 1 included a focus group seven victims...
Abstract Dandruff is a clinical alteration of the skin that consists histologically orthokeratotic clumps with minute parakeratotic foci found in inflammatory pathologies such as seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. Therefore, some nucleated cells should be dandruff hence there possibility forensically typeable DNA could extracted from dandruff. Because particular case which we were involved, study was carried out to determine whether or not dandruff, if two most widely used extraction...
Abstract Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a public health problem that affects worldwide. Consequently, victims frequently go to healthcare centers, usually with cover reason. To address this problem, national and autonomic protocols respond IPVAW in systems have been developed Spain. In regard, the role of primary care physicians (PCPs) will be essential for addressing IPVAW, but they could encounter obstacles doing so. The purpose study was explore how addressed centers...
Genetic marker typing based on DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) increasingly is being employed in forensic casework and for paternity testing. The allele frequencies were determined using PCR 120 unrelated Spanish Caucasians locus HUMTHOH1. Six alleles observed, with ranging from 0.013 (allele 11) to 0.254 10). observed heterozygosity was 75.8%, power of discrimination 0.92. genotype distribution meets Hardy-Weinberg expectations.
The postmortem stability of the main phospholipids lung surfactant-phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), inositol (PI), serine (PS) and sphingomyelin (S) in three different deaths; one caused by fresh-water drowning, salt-water from a sodium-pentobarbital overdose has been studied. drug was considered control because there no surfactant involvement. results show these kinds lipids first 24 h, with progressive decrease 48 h on until 96 significant correlation to time P...
