An Air of Change
Respiratory illnesses and airborne diseases (RIAD) represent conditions involving the respiratory tract or primarily affecting humans through this interface. This study presents the very first systematic investigation of RIAD prevalence in Switzerland, examining remains from Lausanne – La Sallaz Cemetery (L – LSC), a 19th – 20th century workers and hospital patients’ graveyard. It also explores potential correlations between osteological RIAD-rel…
Cross-views between the roles of the therapist and the expert in forensic psychology/psychiatry
Forensic psychology/psychiatry seems particularly subject to ethical tensions, as it involves not only the expert-evaluee or therapist-patient relationships, but also the judicial authorities. This exploratory study aims to identify the professional roles—namely the identity and posture—of both the expert and the therapist within the medico-legal field, with a view to uncovering potential ethical tensions that may arise in the transition from one…
Breathing time
century CE. It reviews historical, demographical, statistical, medical, and bioarchaeological, primary and secondary data originating from archive material or previously published specific analyses into the topic (n = 55). An innovative intersectional and multidisciplinary approach was developed in order to apprehend, collect, organize, and analyze data stemming from several different disciplinary fields. Through this approach, this research ende…
Piece by piece—a computer-aided method for virtual re-association of commingled fragmented remains
Mass disasters with highly fragmented bodies represent a major challenge for the disaster victim identification (DVI) teams.Using CT-scans of the fragments, a virtual re-association method could enhance the DVI process and reduce the number of genetic analysis required.A laboratory setting using porcine femurs shown that the VRA process could start earlier and was faster than the physical re-association.Although methodological limits were highlig…
Sex estimation in a Turkish population using Purkait’s triangle
Sex estimation is considered one of the first steps in the forensic identification process. Morphological and morphometrical differences between males and females have been used as means for morphoscopic and metric methods on both cranial and postcranial skeletal elements. When dry skeletal elements are not available, virtual data can be used as a substitute. The present research explores 3-dimensional (3D) scans from a Turkish population to test…
Virtual anthropology
Virtual anthropology (VA) is based on applying anthropological methods currently used to analyse bones to 3D models of human remains. While great advances have been made in this endeavour in the past decade, several interrogations concerning how reliable these models are and what their proper use should be remain unanswered. In this research, a fundamental assumption of VA has been investigated: if the way we perceive and apply an anthropological…
Postmortem imaging as a complementary tool for the investigation of cardiac death
In the past 2 decades, modern radiological methods, such as multiple detector computed tomography (MDCT), MDCT-angiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were introduced into postmortem practice for investigation of sudden death (SD), including cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD). In forensic cases, the underlying cause of SD is most frequently cardiovascular with coronary atherosclerotic disease as the leading cause. There are man…
Neck-MRI experience for investigation of survived strangulation victims
For the medicolegal evaluation of victims of survived strangulation, a neck-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be performed for assessing lesions in the inner soft tissues (fat, muscles or lymph nodes, for example). In our institute, such MRI examinations have been performed for a test period of 4 years with the aim of evaluating the use of this tool by forensic pathologists and identifying medicolegal indicators for the performance of neck-MRI…
Forensic imaging
Modern post-mortem imaging
Modern post-mortem investigations use an increasing number of digital imaging methods, which can be collected under the term "post-mortem imaging". Most methods of forensic imaging are from the radiology field and are therefore techniques that show the interior of the body with technologies such as X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging. To digitally image the surface of the body, other techniques are regularly applied, e.g. three-dimensional (3D) s…
CT-scan vs . 3D surface scanning of a skull
Three-dimensional surface scanning (3DSS) and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) are two techniques that are used in legal medicine for digitalizing objects, a body or body parts such as bones. While these techniques are more and more commonly employed, surprisingly little information is known about the quality rendering of digitalized three-dimensional (3D) models provided by each of them. This paper presents findings related to the measu…
A fatal case of oxygen embolism in a hospital
This case reports on a 68-year-old man who was found dead in hospital next to his bed. Before this, he had been treated with intravenous antibiotics for pneumonia. The body was found with a peripheral venous catheter connected to a nasal cannula delivering oxygen (O 2 ) from the wall. Extensive medico-legal examinations were performed, including post-mortem computed tomography (CT), complete conventional autopsy, histological and immunohistochemi…
