摘要:

Two forensic dental cases from Norway arc presented. The first case, in which a body was found on the seabed, illustrates that identification may give rise to suspicion of murder. In this case, the suspicion proved to be justified. The Scandinavian identification forms arc presented.The second case is unusual in that tooth marks in bottle caps linked a burglar to the scene of the crime. Tooth marks for comparison were found in a police car where the suspect had opened a soft-drink bottle with his teeth. Comparison microscopy was used.

摘要:

It is often asserted, especially in worker's compensation cases, that blunt trauma or work-related physical exertion can be responsible for the rupture of a preexisting saccular intracranial aneurysm. However, a critical review of the literature and extensive personal experience indicates no or at best a very weak relationship between blunt closed-head trauma and the rupture of a preexisting saccular intracranial aneurysm. This report is based on a 19-year study of the effects of trauma on aneurysms in a clinical and autopsy-derived population.

摘要:

Due to the frequency with which fatal pulmonary embolism gives rise to medicolegal issues when allegedly a sequel to some injury or surgical intervention, some baseline information as to the general incidence and major predisposing factors is offered, extracted from the records of a university pathology institute over a 70-year period.It is clear that the condition was virtually unrecognized during the early part of the century. Using modern autopsy techniques, the incidence of venous thrombosis can be shown to be considerably higher than that revealed by more cursory routine examination. Though trauma and medical and surgical procedures are associated with the majority of fatal pulmonary emboli, there is medicolegal significance in the fact that an appreciable residue have no evidence of such predisposing factors.
