Useful Evidence by Post-Mortem CT and Stereomicroscopy in Bone Injury: A Case Series from Forensic Practice
2023
The investigation of bone injuries is an essential topic in forensics. We sometimes have to deal with charred or dismembered human remains that have lost soft tissue, making it difficult to diagnose the mechanisms of injury that led to death. Our contribution aims to share with the scientific community how we approached two cases of very different bone injuries and the techniques used to differentiate relevant pathology findings of bone fragments. Two cases are analyzed from the case history of the forensic medicine institute of Palermo. PMCT made it possible to differentiate heat bone lesions from traumatic lesions. The stereomicroscope was superior to PMCT in being able to better characte…
Postmortem Electrical Conductivity Changes of Dicentrarchus labrax Skeletal Muscle: Root Mean Square (RMS) Parameter in Estimating Time since Death
2022
Electric impedance spectroscopy techniques have been widely employed to study basic biological processes, and recently explored to estimate postmortem interval (PMI). However, the most-relevant parameter to approximate PMI has not been recognized so far. This study investigated electrical conductivity changes in muscle of 18 sea bass specimens, maintained at different room temperatures (15.0 °C; 20.0 °C; 25.0 °C), during a 24 h postmortem period using an oscilloscope coupled with a signal generator, as innovative technology. The root mean square (RMS) was selected among all measured parameters, and recorded every 15 min for 24 h after death. The RMS(t) time series for each anima…
Petro-archaeology of Gallo-Roman lime mortar. Attempt to reconstruction and interpretation of the “chaînes opératoires”: from material to ancient cra…
2003
Petro-archaeological research on Gallo-Roman lime mortars is based on a simple analytical methodology: observations with optical microscopy in transmission, which brings us a maximum of data about the material and the various stages of the “chaîne opératoire”. This work enabled us to draw the general features of the craftmanship (common practices of the ancient structores and tectores), to establish the relations between mortar composition and its “primary” and “secondary” architectural function, then to perceive what are the markers and motivations of the formula adaptations. The importance of the geological environment is shown, because it induces economic and technical choices, requiring…
Réflexions sur l'utilisation culinaire des mortiers protohistoriques en céramique : le cas du Languedoc méditerranéen à l'âge du Fer (VIe-IIIe s. av.…
2009
International audience; En el siglo VI a. C., el mortero aparece en la batería de cocina del Languedoc y del Rosellón mediterráneos. En un principio importado, antes de ser fabricado en la región, ha sido considerado a veces como un indicador de prácticas culinarias exógenas. En realidad el uso de este utensilio, bastante frecuente, estaria más bien relacionado con el desarrollo del consumo del vino en la Galia meridional durante la primera edad del Hierro. Efectivamente, el mortero pudo haber sido utilizado para triturar condimentos o plantas aromáticas participando así en la preparación de esta bebida.; Au VIe s. av. n. ère, le mortier fait son introduction dans la batterie de cuisine ind…
Pressure support ventilation + sigh in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure patients: Study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial, the PROT…
2018
Background Adding cyclic short sustained inflations (sigh) to assisted ventilation yields optimizes lung recruitment, decreases heterogeneity and reduces inspiratory effort in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). These findings suggest that adding sigh to pressure support ventilation (PSV) might decrease the risk of lung injury, shorten weaning and improve clinical outcomes. Thus, we conceived a pilot trial to test the feasibility of adding sigh to PSV (the PROTECTION study). Methods PROTECTION is an international randomized controlled trial that will be conducted in 23 intensive care units (ICUs). Patients with AHRF who have been intubated from 24 h to 7 days and under…
Control de oficio de las cláusulas abusivas en la ejecución hipotecaria
2013
El presente artículo analiza las consecuencias jurídicas y las medidas adoptadas para la protección de los deudores hipotecarios, en concreto, en la Ley 1/2013, de 14 de mayo, de medidas para reforzar la protección de los deudores hipotecarios, reestructuración de la deuda y alquiler social, dictada como consecuencia de la Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea de 14 de marzo de 2013 que declaraba que la normativa hipotecaria española era contraria a la Directiva 93/13/CEE sobre cláusulas abusivas. En especial, se centra en la posibilidad del juez de controlar de oficio el carácter abusivo de las cláusulas contractuales en el seno de un procedimiento de ejecución hipotecaria…
RED BLOOD CELL DISTRIBUTION WIDTH PREDICTS MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY AFTER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT
2014
Objective: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), is a measurement of the size variation as well as an erythrocyte heterogeneity index (i.e., anysocytosis). used in combination with the mean corpuscular volume for anemia diagnosis. However, it is emerging as an useful predictor biomarker of mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular diseases. However, until now no literature data there are about the RDW role in predicting mortality after aortic valve replacement (AVR). Thus, in this pilot study biological significance of elevated RDW values in early outcome following AVR was evaluated Methods: We enrolled 75 patients (mean age 73.5 ±7.9 years) subjected to AVR and/ or not co temporally to …
