Improving drug identification in overdose death surveillance by using clinical natural language processing models

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The rising rate of drug‐related deaths in the United States, largely driven by fentanyl, requires timely and accurate surveillance. However, critical overdose data are often buried in free‐text coroner reports, leading to delays and information loss when coded into ICD (International Classification of Disease)‐10 classifications.

3D scene reconstruction from body‐worn camera video using 3DF Zephyr

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Body‐worn cameras document crime scenes during initial law enforcement response, yet their potential for forensic reconstruction has not been empirically validated. Despite expanding global adoption, recorded video primarily serves qualitative documentation rather than quantitative measurement applications.

Population‐specific validation of long bone linear discriminant analysis against morphoscopic pelvic methods for sex estimation in contemporary Italian skeletal remains

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Sex estimation represents a fundamental step in forensic identification protocols, traditionally relying on morphoscopic pelvic assessment. However, the increasing integration of machine learning approaches and population‐specific validation requirements necessitate comprehensive evaluation of alternative methodologies. This study provides the
