Intracoronary Thrombus Formation Following Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Thromboembolic events in the context of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure have been well described in the literature. Six cases of clinically significant coronary thrombosis following CO exposure were previously reported. However, factors affecting the development of coronary thrombus in CO exposure are poorly understood, and the significance of this finding in a forensic context is not clear. This article discusses a case of coronary thrombosis found at autopsy following a death in which CO poisoning was suspected. A 67‐year‐old man was found dead in his garage with four vehicles with their ignition in the “on” position and their tanks empty. At autopsy, severe coronary atherosclerosis and an acute nonocclusive coronary thrombus were found. Given the dissimilarities among cases and the presence of CO exposure, it was suggested that the coronary artery thrombosis is likely due to the inherent prothrombotic mechanism of CO, the only common denominator in all the cases.     

Everyday disasters,stagnation and the normalcy of non-development: Roghun Dam,a flood,and campaigns of forced taxation in southern Tajikistan

This article conducts a comparative analysis of a catastrophic flood that hit the Kulob region of southern Tajikistan in 2010, and the government of Tajikistan's campaign to gather money to build the Roghun dam and hydropower station. It advances the notion of ‘everyday disasters’ in order to explain the imprecise boundaries between major catastrophic events and more mundane dimensions of the everyday as experienced by residents of Kulob. The article seeks to shed light, firstly, on the processes that underpin both Kulob residents’ experiences of stagnation and the normalization of non-development, and, secondly, on the ways in which Kulob residents joke and ‘do’ cunning/cheating whilst dealing with disastrous events in order to cultivate an everydayness that is worth living.     

论公安机关处置群体性事件的原则

群体性事件可以分为常性、违法性、罪性。与此相应,公安机关处置群体性事件的原则应当表述为“预防为主,综合治理;教育疏导,依法制止;慎用武力,惩办首恶”。上位原则是依法、比例、效率。

A formal model for event reconstruction in digital forensic investigation

Event reconstruction is an important phase in digital forensic investigation, which determines what happened during the incident. The digital investigator uses the findings of this phase to prepare reports for the court. Since the results must be reproducible and verifiable, it is necessary that the event reconstruction methods be rigorous and strict. In order to fulfill the legal requirements, this study proposes an event reconstruction framework which is based on the formal mathematical methods. In particular, it uses the temporal logic model checking that is an automatic verification technique. The idea is that the system under investigation is modeled as a transition system. Then the digital forensic property is specified using the modal μ-calculus. Finally, a model checking algorithm verifies whether the transition system meets the property. In order to demonstrate the proposed formal event reconstruction framework, an abstract model of the FAT file system is presented and some digital forensic properties are formulated. A big problem in model checking is the so-called state space explosion. This study addresses this problem and suggests some solutions to it. Finally, the proposed framework is applied to a case study to demonstrate how some hypotheses can be proved or refuted.     

健脾化湿通络方药对3 449例风湿病患者终点事件影响的队列研究

目的 通过随访风湿病出院患者健脾化湿通络方药的应用情况,观察中医药治疗风湿病的效应。方法 采用队列研究方法,电话随访风湿病住院患者出院后服用中成药和中药汤剂的时间（＜28 d者定义为非暴露组,＞28 d、且≤90 d者为低暴露组,＞90 d、且＜180 d者为中暴露组,≥180 d者为高暴露组）。采用χ2检验、Logistic回归法分析健脾化湿通络方药治疗与终点事件发生的相关性。结果 3 449例患者完成随访,失访率16.18%（666/4 115）。出院后应用中成药、中药汤剂时间≥28 d的风湿病患者共2 877例,应用频次较高的中成药依次为新风胶囊、新癀片、黄芩清热除痹胶囊、雷公藤多苷片、杜仲壮骨丸、颈椎活血胶囊等。终点事件发生185例,其中高暴露组发生18例(9.73%),中暴露组31例(16.76%),低暴露组48例(25.95%),非暴露组88例(47.57%),终点事件发生率差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)。Logistic回归分析结果表明,暴露强度、新风胶囊、雷公藤多苷片、黄芩清热除痹胶囊为终点事件的保护因素。结论 终点事件的发生与中医药治疗的强度相关,以新风胶囊为代表的健脾化湿通络方药能减少风湿病患者终点事件的发生。
