We present a case of complex suicide concerning 55-year-old man who hanged himself using rope anchored to beam on the terrace his apartment. Multiple parallel linear wounds were observed head. At crime scene, an axe stained with blood and hair was found resting against wall adjacent stairs leading upper floor. Forensic investigations identify cause death as mechanical asphyxia due hanging, in characterized by hesitation marks inflicted head axe. This specific type has never been described literature.
Background—Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a chronic restrictive cardiomyopathy endemic to tropical and subtropical regions, characterized by fibrotic thickening of the endocardium, predominantly affecting ventricular chambers. As global migration increases, cases EMF may emerge in non-endemic areas, posing diagnostic challenge for healthcare professionals unfamiliar with this condition. Methods—We report case 21-year-old man African origin who experienced sudden collapse while residing...
The effects of low exposure to inorganic mercury on psychological performance was investigated: the study groups included eight chronically exposed workers and 20 who were only occasionally exposed. These compared with a control group 22 subjects from same plant not mercury. All administered WHO test battery detect preclinical signs central nervous system impairment: includes Santa Ana (Helsinki version) test, simple reaction time, Benton Wechsler digit span symbol. In addition, Gordon used...
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) can be challenging to diagnose by forensic pathologists. For the diagnosis of FES, there is no benchmark test. Postmortem requires a full autopsy and specific ancillary examination. However, high variability in clinical presentation FES represents relevant issue, consensus on postmortem assessment. This case 33-year-old man who died one week after car accident. He suffered multiple fractures, but was hemodynamically stable showed neurological changes. The patient...
The prophylactic effectiveness of the phthalazinone derivative, azelastine was compared with ketotifen. A total 111 patients, aged 18 – 65 years, from 10 centres entered into this randomized, double-blind study. All patients had reversible asthma. After 1 week on placebo, were allocated to either 8 mg/day once or twice daily, mg ketotifen, for a further 12 weeks. Azelastine more effective in improving respiratory function (forced expiratory flow s and peak rate) when given daily regimen,...
