摘要:

Shored gunshot wound of exit is produced when the outstretched skin is impaled, sandwiched, and crushed between the outgoing bullet and the unyielding object over the exit site, thus leaving an abrasion collar on the wound margin. Proper coaptation of the wound margin is impossible because of the loss of skin just like those observed in entrance wounds. In contrast to the entrance wound, the supported exit wound shows a scalloped or punched-out abrasion collar and sharply contoured skin in between the radiating skin lacerations marginating the abrasion (Fig. 1). Should gunpowder be observed around the exit site, it is often unevenly distributed, and is not associated with searing, gunpowder stippled abrasion, tatooing, and deposition of soot.

摘要:

The term “dum-dum bullet, ”as used today, is a misnomer. Bullets now called dum-dum bullets are related to the original Dum-Dum bullet only by a vague definition which is often misused and misapplied.

摘要:

The force necessary to activate the triggers in commonly available handguns was measured, using unaltered “out of the box” revolvers and pistols. In general the trigger pull, single action, varies from 3 1/2 to 10 lbs.; if fired double action, the pull varies from 6 lbs. to as much as 18 lbs. “Hair triggers” have a pull of 1 lb. or less.

摘要:

Samis(1)introduced the concept of the Dentify system of personal identification. In this system, ceramic microchips embossed with metallic intelligence data are placed in teeth under dental restorations. This paper describes the results of anin ritrostudy aimed at testing the heat resistance qualities of this identification system when placed in teeth. Teeth were subjected to a temperature of 1,000° C. The results of this study indicate that the ceramic chips and their embossed metallic intelligence data are able to withstand extremely high temperatures. The metallic identifier pins used in this study were less resistant to extreme heat. The significance of these findings is discussed.

摘要:

Measurement of sternal length on chest plate x-rays from 617 autopsied adults was made to assess the ability to predict sex. Manubrio-mesosternal lengths in men and women differ significantly, the mean length in women being 22 mm less than in men. Gender predictive values of 0.95, 0.90, and 0.80 were calculated from this material. A range (143–157 mm) does exist, however, in which predictive value may be less than 80% accurate. When sternal length is combined with the pattern of costal cartilage mineralization, 85% of all adults can be accurately sexed.

摘要:

In this brief case report, we describe the several means used in 1982 to identify the skeletal remains of a person who disappeared in August 1964. This report exemplifies the multidisciplinary, cooperative approach required for a successful result in such cases.

摘要:

Subincision of the penis is a traditional ritual mutilation unique to the Aborigines, the indigenous people of Australia. The mutilation is a urethrotomy in which the undersurface of the penis is incised and the urethra slit open lengthwise. Subincision is one element in the initiation of Aboriginal youths. In later ceremonies, repeated throughout adult life, the subincised penis is used as a site for ritual bloodletting. There also exists a ritual of penis holding which occurs when a subincised man enters a strange camp. The origin of subincision and the reason for its localization to the Australian continent has not been satisfactorily explained. The mutilation is still performed among tribal Aborigines, and identifies a man as holding a position of status within the tribe.

摘要:

A review of the activities and beginnings of the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps Graves Registration Service is presented to broaden existing knowledge of how the remains of military casualties were processed and identified. The focus is on the activities of this service in France after World War I. The processing and other problems faced by this organization are often identical to those experienced by the forensic pathologists or other medicolegal investigators who are confronted with remains of an unidentified person.
