Analysis of 3130 cases of medicolegal postmortem

3130 cases of medicolegal postmortem in Shantou City between January 1977 and December 1996 were analyzed statistically. The results revealed that the ratio of male to female was 2.3 and most dead were young and middle age. The number of postmortem has increased in resent years. Of 3130 cases, 2829 (92.3%) were caused by mechanical injury, mechanical asphyxia, sudden death and poisoning. As to manners of the death, 1226 were related to accidents (39.2%), 776 homicide(29.8%), 658 suicide (21.0%). These results were compared with other studies reported in domestic and international literature.

Histological examination of the temporal bone in medicolegal cases of asphyxia

Histological findings of the temporal bone in 23 autopsy cases of various asphyxial fatalities were studied. The temporal bones of 12 cases who died of tumors including mammary cancer, gastric cancer, myxoma of heart and craniopharyngioma, the bones of 3 cases of heart attack and the bones of 17 cases who died of various poisoning (barbiturate, amphetamine, paraquat and alcohol) were used as controls. In drowning, the primary finding was hemorrhage in the mastoid air cells of the bilateral temporal bones. In cases of strangulation by ligature, hemorrhage and edema of the cochlear duct in the inner ear as well as hemorrhage in the mastoid air cells were demonstrated bilaterally. In contrast, congestion and edema in the mastoid air cells and inner ear were found in cases of manual strangulation but there was no hemorrhage. From these results, the histological examination of the temporal bone is useful as an adjunct procedure for diagnosing the cause of asphyxia. Differentiation between drowning, strangulation by ligature and manual strangulation may be possible by observing hemorrhages or their absence in the mastoid air cells and inner ear.     

Forensic medicine in Great Britain. II. The origins of the British medicolegal system and some historic cases

The British medicolegal system, which today is largely based on the Coroner's Act of 1887, developed slowly, beginning with the election of county coroners in the 12th century. The duties of the medieval coroner included the collection of revenues due to the Crown, recordkeeping, presiding over inquests, and overseeing juries in cases of sudden or unnatural death. However, by the 14th century, the influence of the coroner had diminished and the office fell into disrepute. The practice of forensic medicine in the United Kingdom can be dated from the 17th century, when the first autopsy was recorded. However, the first original textbook on this subject did not appear in Britain until the early 19th century. Around the same time, due to a wave of homicidal poisonings, toxicology emerged as an important discipline. A number of historical cases of homicidal poisoning, as well as several cases of homicide by external wounding, are discussed herein. In the present day, with the passage of various laws, the British coroner deals only with sudden and unnatural death and treasure trove.

Immunohistochemical investigation of ubiquitin and myoglobin in the kidney in medicolegal autopsy cases

We examined the immunohistochemical distributions of ubiquitin (Ub) and myoglobin (Mb) in human kidney tissues to assist the pathological assessment of death due to trauma. Medicolegal autopsy cases at our institute (n=138: 0-96 years of age, 105 males and 33 females) were examined. Causes of death were blunt injury (n=31), sharp injury (n=15), poisoning (n=11), drowning (n=10), fire fatalities (n=25), hypothermia (n=7), asphyxiation (n=14), hyperthermia (n=3), and natural diseases (n=22) for controls. Immunostaining of Ub and Mb was performed on the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded kidney tissue sections. Quantitative analyses by estimating the proportion of Ub- and Mb-positive cells (%positivity) of renal tubule epithelial cells showed that the positivities for Ub and Mb were higher in subjects who died due to fire, blunt injury, sharp injury and fatal hypothermia than in other groups. The Ub-positivity correlated with the severity of airway thermal injury in fire deaths, survival time in blunt injury, and serum markers for renal failure in deaths due to sharp injury. Concomitant increases in the tubular Mb- and Ub-positivities were characteristic to deaths from injury and hypothermia. These findings suggest that Ub may serve as a sensitive indicator of the fatal influence of traumas.     

A retrospective analysis of alcohol in medicolegal postmortems over a period of five years.

Violence and violent death are everyday events in present-day South Africa. Although this phenomenon may be attributed in great part to the sociopolitical environment, the single most important underlying common factor is the presence of alcohol in both the perpetrators of violence and their victims. We retrospectively studied 948 cases of 2,980 medicolegal autopsies done over a 5-year period. We found that 52.5% of cases tested positively for alcohol, with blood alcohol concentration varying from 0.008 to 0.048 g% (mean = 0.18). Male patients were more common and more likely to be positive than female patients. Breakdown of the cases into various modes of death showed that homicides, vehicular accidents, and suicides predominated. The results are in agreement with earlier studies done locally and elsewhere.     

152例高坠死亡案件回顾性分析

目的对于高坠死亡案例进行回顾性调查分析,为相关研究和鉴定提供参考。方法收集2011年至2014年间,武汉市汉阳区范围内公安部门受理的所有高坠案件,共152例,对案件性质、高坠地点特征、死者年龄、性别、损伤情况等项目进行统计分析。结果 152例高坠死亡案件中自杀118例、意外28例,6例性质未能确定;高坠案件无论性质为何,发生地点均以居民住宅区最多;女性在自杀中占比略高,且年龄偏大(50岁),而意外高坠中全部为男性;损伤在两类性质的案件中均以头部和四肢为最多;自杀案件中有四分之一左右的死者有精神疾病史。结论国内高坠案件随着社会生活的发展有其独特的特征,而对高坠的尸体检验需要更加仔细和全面。     

Postmortem serotonin (5-HT) concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of medicolegal cases

In a medicolegal study the postmortem serotonin (5-HT) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations were determined in routine autopsies using a high performance liquid chromatographic procedure with electrochemical detection. There was no correlation between 5-HT concentrations and age, sex or blood alcohol concentration using a postmortem delay < or = 3 days. In suicides the suboccipital CSF concentrations were significantly decreased compared to the levels measured in the control group (8.55+/-5.99 ng/ml versus 20.15+/-13.56 ng/ml). Additionally, a decrease of 5-HT was found in the suboccipital CSF of opiate fatalities (15.56+/-13.52 ng/ml). The results support the hypothesis that decreased 5-HT concentrations in the CSF are characteristic in suicides. However, due to a rather broad overlapping of values between suicides and controls the results failed to define a possible cut-off level in the 5-HT CSF concentration to distinguish between a suicidal and a non-suicidal incident.     

Deaths in preschool and school age--a retrospective analysis from a medicolegal point of view

At the Department of Legal Medicine in Giessen all forensic autopsies from the years 1990 until 2001 were investigated under the aspect of "death in preschool and school age between 3 and 16 years of age." Out of 69 deaths 19% were due to a natural and 81% to an unnatural cause of death. Both groups (3 to 6 and 7 to 16 years of age) were analyzed retrospectively with regard to age and circumstances of death and compared with the literature. The purpose of the differentiating evaluation is to furnish ideas how to prevent violent deaths of children.

An analysis of the medicolegal autopsies performed in Adana, Turkey, in 1983-1988.

Data on 1,000 medicolegal autopsies have been compiled by the Morgue Department of the Adana branch of the Council of Forensic Medicine of Turkey, and have been reviewed to determine the local differences in causes of death, as well as age and sex distributions of decedents, in medicolegal deaths in this region. This is the first report on this subject in this region of Turkey. Unusual categories of death and incidences of death are also discussed. The results of this study show that the number of medicolegal autopsies and the rate of natural death in Adana are quite close to those of some other cities of Turkey and some foreign countries. Contrary findings are revealed in the frequencies of the causes of death.

The pathology and medicolegal aspects of sexual activity

The pathology of injury and its complications related to sexual activities has changed remarkably when compared with that of the past, which usually involved assaults or murders of female victims of varying ages, with moderate to serve beatings that may have accidentally resulted in the victim's death. Serial murderers, serial rapists, and molesters of both boys and girls have become much more prevalent in the last two decades in the United States. Unorthodox sexual behavior, such as "fisting," has increased in frequency, as has sexual violence related to cults, such as satanism. All of these present many challenges to medicolegal investigators. This report describes general and specific pathological sexual activities and injuries, some characteristics and methods of the perpetrators, and some specific cases as examples.
