Disease relevance of Forensic Medicine

  • Analysis of case material on file in the University of Glasgow's departments of forensic medicine and science, and neuropathology showed that the principal causes were sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP), intracranial haemorrhage, either natural or after trauma, purulent meningitis or an abscess, and tumours [1].
  • To compare the characteristics of dextropropoxyphene (DXP) poisoning victims with those of victims of poisonings by antidepressants and sedatives, we examined all fatal poisonings due to DXP, antidepressants or sedatives among autopsies performed at one department of forensic medicine in Sweden during the six-year period from 1992 to 1997 [2].

Gene context of Forensic Medicine

  • Direct sequencing of the human protamine P1 gene and application in forensic medicine [17].
  • In conclusion, measurement of hypoxia-inducible levels of VEGF in various body organs appears to be a useful method of estimating the PMI up to 24 h in forensic medicine and pathophysiology [18].
  • This study provides a more solid basis for the use of Y chromosome detection in forensic medicine, for screening purposes etc [19].
  • Privacy and professional privilege between doctor and patient were reviewed at the 21st International Epilepsy Congress and at the First Academic Seminar of the Australian College of Legal Medicine (ACLM) [20].
  • This study further demonstrates the utility of highly informative STR loci such as D21S11 and FGA in human population evolutionary history and in forensic medicine [21].
