The suitability of using domestic pigs (Sus spp.) as human proxies in the geophysical detection of clandestine graves
J Forensic Sci. 2023 Oct 31. doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.15419. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch in many forensic science fields commonly uses domestic pigs (Sus spp.) as proxies for human remains, due to their physiological and anatomical similarities, as well as being more readily available. Unfortunately, previous research, especially that which compares the decompositional process, has shown that pigs are not appropriate proxies for humans. To date, there has not been any published research that specifically addresses whether domestic pigs are adequate human proxies for the geophysical detection of clandestine graves....

Spontaneous retroperitoneal and intracranial hemorrhage following streptokinase therapy in acute myocardial infarction: An autopsy case report
J Forensic Sci. 2023 Oct 31. doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.15418. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBleeding complications following thrombolytic treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are not infrequent, among which intracranial hemorrhage is commonly reported. In contrast, retroperitoneal hematoma following the administration of thrombolytics is rarely reported in the literature. We are reporting a case of a middle-aged man, who presented with left-sided chest pain and was diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome with anterior wall ST elevation AMI. The patient was administered with thrombolytic drugs, including streptokinas...

Genotyping strategies for tissues fixed with various embalming fluids for human identification, databasing, and traceability
J Forensic Sci. 2023 Oct 31. doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.15414. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWithin anatomical willed body programs and skeletal collections, whole bodies and their disassociated limbs and organs are identified and tracked. However, if these tracking mechanisms fail, DNA recovered from the formalin-fixed tissues/organs could provide an additional layer of quality assurance. Embalming fluids preserve biological tissues; however, they also damage, fragment, and cross-link DNA and protein molecules. This project investigated the success of STR-typing from various soft tissue and bone samples that were fixed with e...

Death from methamphetamine intoxication in a body stuffer
J Forensic Sci. 2023 Oct 27. doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.15417. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 28-year-old man was admitted dead to the emergency department of the regional hospital. All resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful in this case. Attending officers stated that he was suspected of possessing drugs at the time of arrest and had taken them quickly to cover up. Upon arrival at the hospital, signs of violence were noted all over his body. During the autopsy, two large blue plastic packages were found in the antrum of the stomach. The first was 6.3 × 2.2 cm and had two tight knots, while the second was 7.6 x 1.7 cm and ...

Automated identification of copy-move forgery using Hessian and patch feature extraction techniques
J Forensic Sci. 2023 Oct 27. doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.15415. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCopy-move forgeries are a conceptual sort of image retouching that involves duplicating a portion of an image and moving it to a different position within the original image, whether by modifying the duplicated part or just moving it altogether. To identify cloned portions that have been reproduced into the same digitized image, the suggested hybrid features in this article combine using the Hessian and Raw patch features on gray-level images. Using a suggested model that combines patch features built on key points detected by the Hess...
