摘要:

A discourse on where forensic pathologists/medical examiners came from and where they are going is presented. Thirteen reasons for physicians leaving the foresic pathology/medical examiner field are examined and six suggested solutions are proposed as a remedy.

摘要:

Mitral annulus calcification (MAC) is a common cardiac abnormality previously considered to be of little significance. More recently several potentially fatal complications have been recognized and presentation as sudden death described. These complications include cardiac arrhythmias, mitral incompetence, calcific and thromboemboli, bacterial endocarditis, and mitral stenosis. The spectrum of pathological changes seen in MAC, their possible significance, and the features which allow distinction frm other mitral valve diseases are reviewed.

摘要:

Arcus senilis is a deposition of lipid at the corneal periphery. It is dependent on vascularity for formation and is not a degenerative change. The prevalence of arcus increases with age, and it appears more in blacks and males. It appears to be related to cardiovascular disease but has not been shown to be a reliable predictor of the disease. We studied the incidence of arcus width with age and found no definite correlation.

摘要:

Ballisticians and handgunners usually downgrade the performance level of the standard .25 ACP full metal-jacketed (FMJ) bullet, but medical examiners encounter the wounding capability and even its lethal effects with some reularity. The insertion of a steel ball bearing into the hollow point nose of such a jacketed bullet imporves the ballistics performance of the round.

摘要:

A group of green sunfish was collected from a selenium-rich lake and compared with a similar group collected from a control lake upstream in the szame drainage system in cast Texas. Since the level of selenium in kindneys of these fish was relatively high (averaging 11 ppm on a fresh weight basis), histopathological and ultrastructural data were collected. Kidneys from fish from the selenium-rich lake showed proliferative glomerulonephritis and hematuria as well as vacuolation and necrosis of cells of the convoluted tubules.

摘要:

The partly burned and battered body of a young womean wazs found in a culvert near Albury, New South Wales, Australia, on September 1, 1934. Although identification was delayed for 10 years, it was finaaly achieved by dental comparison, following which the crime was quickly solved and the woman's husband brought to trial for murder.The mystery suroounding the bizarre case attracted international attention at the time. The dental identification was hotly disputed and even today is a subject of controversy.This paper briefly reviews some of the circumstances that contributed to the long delay in establishing identification and contrasts the identification procedures used then with those available now. Some important lessons may be learned from the experience of this case that have particular relevane to forensic odontology today.A part from occasional references to this case in the scientific literature, a number of stories about it have been plublished in the popular press from time to time. The most recent, reliable, and comprehensive account was published in 1978 in a book by Robert Coleman entitledThe Pyjama Girl. This paper has drawn heavily from Mr. Coleman's research, as well as from original court files.

摘要:

The remains of the American revolutionary naval hero, John Paul Jones, were buried in Paris following his death on July 18, 1792. The cemetery was abandoned and the area replaced with private homes. Thus, the remains were obscured until 1904, when the United States Ambassador to France, General Horace Porter, took steps to locate the remains. The identification waw carried out by a French team of medical and anthroplogy experts. The use of a sculpted bust of Jones superimposed on a picture of a similar position of the head proved to be a confirming point which, together with secondary confirmatory points, aided the positive identification of the body. This is perhaps one of the earliest recorded use of; this technique in identification.

摘要:

The recovery of the metallic jacket fired from higher-velocity weapons is crucial for ballistics testing. Therefore, evn when exit wounds are present, radiographs should routinely be made. The use of the new Winchester Western Silvertip ammunition may present a problem to the forensic pathologist because of the use of aluminum-jacketed bullets. Aluminium is only faintly radiopaque and may easily be overlooked on x-ray. An illustrative case is reported.
