摘要:

A defendant accused of being the father of an illegitimate child denies responsibility. Blood samples from the child, mother, and alleged father are studied and the results reveal that the alleged father is excluded. What weight, if any, should the court (if a trial is held) or the jury give to the evidence of nonpaternity? Should the evidence be treated as conclusive proof of nonpaternity or should other evidence be admitted in the trial to overcome the nonpaternity evidence? A medical expert might conclude that a controversy exists because of the court's questioned trustworthiness of the paternity blood testing, while a legal expert might conclude that the controversy arises because of burdens of proof. Both conclusions are valid.The Berry v. Chaplin case held in California in 1946 illustrates this circumstance. In refreshing our memories on this case, we can review the problem in light of today's knowledge.

摘要:

Blood donation at the accepted frequency of one donation every 8 weeks is generally regarded as excessive for preservation of donor iron reserves, especially in women. A double-blind study was conducted of 627 individuals who had previously donated blood to determine the effect of iron supplementation on iron reserves. Half the donors received ferrous fumarate at a dosage of 66.6 mg elemental iron daily for 45 days. The other half received placebo. Eight blood variables reflecting the iron status of the donors were determined at the time of the initial donation and again 2 months later at the time of their second donation. Statistical analysis of the blood variables indicated that the prescribed amount of ferrous fumarate should be considered the minimal effective dose for maintenance of reduced iron storage in blood donors. However, the data are furnished for the analysis of panels of experts for any conclusions and recommendations concerning this study. Feostat, the iron supplement, was tolerated well by the participating donors. Gastrointestinal upset occurred in eight donors receiving Feostat and in 10 donors receiving placebo.

摘要:

The purpose of this work is to evalute the effectiveness of the unselected hospital autopsy to provide useful, practical medical information which is not available by other means. The information in the study is compared to other series and an evaluation is made as to the economy of the autopsy as an instrument of quality control of medical care and in potential malpractice avoidance.

摘要:

Suicide by firearm is a frequent mode of death and the most common mode of suicide in the United States. So typically is there but one bullet entrance wound in the suicide victim, and so often are there multiple wounds with homicide that some investigators and the public are unaware or forget that the person intending suicide may discharge his gun into himself more than once. The frequency, incidence, and other characteristics of the phenomenon deserve more recognition.The data presented are from medical examiner reports and related material from 7,895 gunshot deaths, including 3,522 suicides by firearm, that occurred in North Carolina in the 7-year period 1972–1978. The 58 multishot firearm sucides represent 0.7% of all firearm deaths (one in 136) and 1.6% of firearm suicides (one in 61). Characteristics of the individual entrance wounds such as body regions involved and muzzle distance were the same as those of single shot cases. Long gun use was not rare, but 0.22 caliber handguns predominated. Other characteristics of weapon, victim, wounds, and situations are presented.Each of the cases was assessed by forensic pathologists as it was reported and was reviewed again for the study. The type of data presented is one advantage of a structured, centrally guided, statewide medical examiner system.Greater awareness of the entity of multishot firearm suicide may reduce the number of misdirected homicide investigations and diminish unwarranted public arousal.

摘要:

This case study describes the investigation of the sudden, unexpected death of a young, slightly hypertensive woman. She had a previous history of serious hypokalemic-induced cardiac dysrhythmias associated with diuretic usage. Postmortem examination revealed no anatomic cause for her death. Her agonal plasma potassium, 5.4 mmol/L, seemed too low in light of her extreme acidosis, Hypoxemia, and emergency treatment. Diuretic analysis indicated surreptitious ingestion of hydrochlorothiazide. Hypokalemia and the control of serum potassium concentration are discussed as are various modifiers of serum potassium.
