摘要:
We evaluated the usefulness of postmortem determination of biochemical markers and the ratio of their concentrations in pericardial fluid and serum to diagnose acute myocardial necrosis. One hundred cadavers from routine necropsies were studied. Cases were allocated in diagnostic groups according to the cause of death. Myoglobin and myosin heavy chain concentrations and creatine kinase MB isoenzymes (CK-MB) activities were measured in serum and pericardial fluid. Ratios of the concentrations obtained in these fluids were calculated. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and acridine orange stains were used for microscopy studies. Pericardial fluid-serum ratios of the concentrations of biochemical markers were significantly different. The ratio of the concentrations of myosin is the best indicator of widespread muscle damage or cardiac necrosis.

摘要:
A Thai Airbus, carrying 99 passengers and 14 crew members, traveling from Bangkok to Kathmandu, hit a mountain and crashed several minutes before landing. There were no survivors. Recovered human remains, none of which was easily identifiable, varied in size from a small piece of muscle to mutilated bodies. Of the 97 fragments, only 15 were sufficiently intact (albeit, only partially) to be designated as "bodies." Of the fragments and "bodies," only 11 were positively identified. Causes of death, although all traumatic, could not be stated accurately due to the degree of disintegration. Identification of human remains in these circumstances is a major problem for the pathologist.

摘要:
Medical examiners have responsibilities that often result in news media coverage that can bring unwanted attention. Dealing with the news media is always a learning process, but various resources exist to help in maintaining credibility. Local offices should consider establishing proactive community relations and media relations programs. Appropriate steps should be taken to manage media relations, including the appointment of an official spokesperson and regular use of the prepared statement. This article also explores the benefits of being prepared for media interviews, offers advice for responding to the media following a mass disaster, and examines options for dealing with a media investigation. Medical examiners, coroners, investigators, and other forensic experts have responsibilities that frequently bring them in contact with the news media. Today, a crime scene investigation is not complete without media attention. We now live in an era of "CNN journalism," in which local investigations may be propelled into the national spotlight. Unfortunately, the result can be unwanted attention. What resources can medical examiners rely on to better manage the news media? What can you do to maintain credibility? There are a number of options available, all of which can easily put into practice.
