Background asbestos fiber levels in autopsy lungs
Asbestos exposure is a well-established cause of malignant mesothelioma and other respiratory diseases, and quantifying inorganic fiber lung burden is crucial in forensic and medico-legal contexts for attributing disease causality. However, data on background asbestos exposure and chronological trends in the general population remain limited. This study analyzed autopsy lung tissue samples from 81 individuals (38 males, 43 females) from Northern …
Craniometric Relationships of Migrant Victims of the April 18, 2015 Shipwreck Off the Coast of Libya
One of the most tragic events involving African migrants’ attempts to get to Europe was the 2015 shipwreck off the coast of Libya. More than 300 crania were recovered and are currently in the Laboratory of Forensic Anthropology and Odontology, Milan, Italy, where attempts are being made to identify them. This paper analyzes the cranial morphometrics in relation to what is known of African cranial variation. It also addresses questions of populati…
Deaths in jail
The present study identifies the most frequent and critical situations and risk factors related to death in custody and the profile of the inmate who is at a higher risk of death, allowing to highlight the issues to be addressed from a public health point of view. On the whole, it calls for comprehensive reforms, aligned with international human rights standards, addressing mental and physical care gaps, improving correctional officers' education…
The role of single nucleotide polymorphisms related to iron homeostasis in mesothelioma susceptibility after asbestos exposure
Asbestos-related diseases still represent a major public health problem all over the world. Among them, malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a poor-prognosis cancer, arising from the serosal lining of the pleura, pericardium and peritoneum, triggered by asbestos exposure. Literature data suggest the key role of iron metabolism in the coating process leading to the formation of asbestos bodies, considered to be both protective and harmful. Two sample se…
First signs of torture in Italy
The taphonomy of blood components in decomposing bone and its relevance to physical anthropology
OBJECTIVES: The variation and persistence of blood components, in particular red blood cells (RBCs), within bone tissue during the decomposition process, especially at the early stages and in different taphonomic conditions, has never been thoroughly investigated, regardless of the fact that knowing how blood survives or degrades within bone could be of help in solving many anthropological issues, such as trauma analysis and interpretation. MATER…
