Abstract The authors report a case of fatal peritonitis due to small bowel perforation in a 21-month-old female child. Necropsy excluded
natural disease and a thorough Coronial investigation concluded that an accidental fall onto a “doorstop” caused the bowel
injury. The investigative findings are presented; the discussion address issues of diagnosis and causation/mechanism of injury.

We present the case of a 50-year-old female who developed rapidly progressive
Pseudomonas aeruginosa septicemia in the setting of panycytopenia approximately 4 weeks following the commencement of carbimazole therapy for Graves’
disease. She died shortly after presentation to hospital and the case was referred to the coroner as the death was unexpected
and the clinical course was considered unusual. Relatively sudden, unexpected deaths resulting from hematological/endocrine

Abstract Low copy number (LCN) DNA profiling has recently been scrutinized in the United Kingdom following the comments of Mr Justice
Weir made during the trial of suspected terrorist Sean Hoey. Mr Hoey was acquitted of all charges related to the Omagh bombing
of 1998, following the inadmissibility of key DNA evidence during this trial. The Association of Chief Police Officers and
Crown Prosecution Service, initially suspended the use of this technique, but quickly reinstated its use following an internal

Experimental simulation of non-ballistic wounding by sharp and blunt punches
discuss this article
Abstract Despite a long history of gross and microscopic descriptions of blunt and sharp force injury to the dermal tissues, few have
addressed the mechanisms underlying such trauma. The need to develop an understanding of how non-ballistic injury occurs calls
for an ability to biomechanically model the process. We recently introduced a basic skin and subcutaneous model, which we
used to investigate wounding from a spherical object. Here we employ the same model to examine wounding caused by a sharp
wedge shaped object and a blunt rectangular object. Macroscopic examination and SEM views of the surface and c...

Driving under the influence of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb)

Abstract We used an in-house forensic toxicology database (TOXBASE) to evaluate the occurrences of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in blood
samples from people arrested in Sweden for driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) between 1998 and 2007. Age, gender,
and concentrations of GHB in blood were compared and contrasted when GHB was the only drug present and when it occurred along
with other drugs. GHB was determined in blood by gas chromatography (GC) after conversion to gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) and
analysis of the latter with a flame ionization detector. The cut-off concentration of GHB in blood for repo...

The aim of this study was to reveal histopathological features for differential diagnosis of skin lesions caused by electrocution, flames and abrasions. Based on the causes of the lesions, cases were assigned into three groups. Group 1 included 30 deaths from electric shock. Group 2 included 30 individuals with flame burns who died in the fires. Group 3 included 30 deaths from traffic accidents, from which the individuals had abrasions. Data from the crime scene investigations and macroscopic and microscopic findings from the autopsies allowed determination of the cause of death in all cases. The features of the lesion...
