Le necessarie tutele (e i relativi controlli) in ordine al processo di formazione della volontà di morte
2023
The article examines the legislative proposal on medically assisted death by the working group 'Per un diritto gentile', reviewing its contents through the lens of ECHR case law and the Spanish Ley Orgánica de regulación de la eutanasía. The comparative analysis sheds light on the need for additional safeguards to protect patients' autonomy and ensure that medical professionals comply with their informed, free from any pressure or abuse will.
Medico-legal study of death in custody by excited delirium. A case report
2014
En este artículo exponemos los resultados de la autopsia de un varón joven que falleció en el hospital por un cuadro de delirium agitado. Es un síndrome caracterizado generalmente por agitación psicomotriz, agresividad y puede producir muerte súbita, en ocasiones durante la aplicación de métodos de contención mecánica por los Cuerpos de Seguridad del Estado o personal sanitario. Está típicamente asociado al consumo de drogas de abuso, como la cocaína. En estos casos, estará incluida en el grupo de muertes en custodia, que es aquella que se produce cuando la víctima se encuentra privada de libertad. Tiene una indudable repercusión médico legal, puesto que se considera prototipo de muerte sos…
p53 triggers apoptosis in oncogene-expressing fibroblasts by the induction of Noxa and mitochondrial Bax translocation.
2003
The mechanism of p53-dependent apoptosis is still only partly defined. Using early-passage embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) from wild-type (wt), p53(-/-) and bax(-/-) mice, we observe a p53-dependent translocation of Bax to the mitochondria and a release of mitochondrial Cytochrome c during stress-induced apoptosis. These events proceed independent of zVAD-inhibitable caspase activation, are not prevented by dominant negative FADD (DN-FADD), but are negatively regulated by Mdm-2. Bcl-x(L) expression prevents the release of mitochondrial Cytochrome c and apoptosis, but not Bax translocation. At a single-cell level, enforced expression of p53 is sufficient to induce Bax translocation and Cytochrom…
Intimate partner violence and perinatal health: a systematic review
2019
Background Physical, psychological, and sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) has been described in the literature as different types of IPV experienced by women during pregnancy all over the world. Objectives To review and summarise systematically the empirical evidence on the links between IPV during pregnancy and the perinatal health of mothers and fetuses/neonates. Search strategy MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL, Embase, Nursing@ovid (Ovid), and LILACS were performed (2008-2018). Selection criteria Observational studies that examined perinatal health outcomes (i.e. pre-term birth, low birthweight, miscarriage, perinatal death, and premature rupture of membranes) in pregnant women exposed to IPV…
Is Sauna Bathing Protective of Sudden Cardiac Death? A Review of the Evidence
2019
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a global public health burden accounting for 15–20% of all deaths. Though established atherosclerotic risk factors explain a large proportion of the risk of SCD, these factors are often absent in a large proportion of SCD victims and the pathogenesis of SCD is still not fully established. It therefore appears that additional factors may be involved. Sauna bathing is a traditional Finnish activity that is mainly used for the purposes of relaxation and pleasure. Beyond its use for these purposes, sauna bathing has been linked with several health benefits. Emerging evidence suggests that sauna bathing is associated with reduced risk of adverse cardiovascular (CV) …

Preventable fatal injury during rally race: a multidisciplinary approach
2020
Abstract Introduction The motor vehicle crash (MVC) constitutes an important challenge for forensic pathology in order to identify the manner and cause of death. Our study focuses on a fatal accident during a rally race corresponding to MVC sub-category. Materials and method Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) was performed before the conventional autopsy. Autoptic and PMCT data were compared. Data collection allowed analyzing biomechanical dynamics of the incident and post-traumatic injuries through qualitative-statistics and solicitation quantitative indices. Results Photo and circumstantial evidence analysis showed a wrong installation of double shoulder belt system of head and neck su…
The undiscovered country from whose bourn some travelers do return. The final frontier in Poe and Dickinson.
2002
Paul.S.Derrick@uv.es El ensayo empieza comentando el relato de Poe, “MS. Found in a Bottle” como una expresión americana del concepto romántico de que la muerte es la fuente de toda imaginación y, como consecuencia, de toda obra de arte. También sugiere que este relato anticipa fenómenos culturales posteriores como la psicología freudiana y las novelas absurdas de Kafka y Beckett. Continua considerando hasta qué punto las diversas cuestiones que Poe trataba, a saber, la idea de la frontera aplicada a las líneas divisorias entre la razón y la sinrazón, entre el lenguaje y el silencio y, finalmente, entre la vida y la muerte, se ven reflejadas en la poesía modernista de Stevens y Eliot. Termi…

Apoptosis induced in hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells by the proteasome inhibitor MG132 is associated with hydrogen peroxide production, expression of Bcl-…
2002
This report is focused on the apoptotic effect induced by MG132, an inhibitor of 26S proteasome, in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. The results were compared with those obtained with non-transformed human Chang liver cells. MG132 reduced the viability of HepG2 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The effect was in tight connection with the induction of apoptosis, as indicated by fluorescence microscopy and cytometric analysis, and was accompanied by a remarkable increase in the production of H2O2 and a reduction in mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Deltapsim). In addition cell death was prevented by antioxidants such as GSH, N-acetylcysteine or catalase. Western blot analysis showed…
