Exploring the causes and impact of pediatric complicated mild traumatic brain injuries

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children, with mild TBI (mTBI) accounting for approximately 80% of cases. Complicated mTBI (c‐mTBI) is characterized by radiographic evidence of intracranial abnormalities and/or skull fractures.

Heavy metal free primers: Polymorphism of gadolinium and titanium in the context of GSR glass phase

Defence Technology, 2019
The possibility of identifying gunshot residue (GSR) particles produced by non-toxic primers containing only titanium and zinc is a very difficult task using SEM/EDX analysis employed in the analysis of GSR originating from primers containing lead ...

When Time Stands Still: The Destructive Experience of Ambiguous Loss among Mothers of Combat Soldiers

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
What happens when stories refuse coherence? This article examines ambiguous loss among mothers of combat soldiers, focusing on how prolonged waiting and uncertainty infiltrate everyday life, eroding sensemaking. Drawing on ethnographic interviews, it explores how mothers experience the contraction of time and space—manifested in suspended routines ...

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

A study of transfer and prevalence of organic gunshot residues [PDF]

Forensic Science International, 2017
The main goal of the present study was to determine the amounts and distribution of organic gunshot residues (OGSR) on the shooter's upper body and clothing after discharging a pistol. A preliminary study was also performed to evaluate the prevalence of OGSR in the general population as well as in a police laboratory environment. In the transfer study,

Detection of organic gunshot residue using High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry [PDF]

, 2021
Gunshot residue (GSR) has been analyzed in forensic laboratories since 1933 when the dermal nitrate test originated. (1) Detection and analysis of GSR has since developed with the invention and implementation of instrumentation.

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy and Ultraviolet Visible Spectroscopy of Functionalized Nanoparticles for Detection of Gunshot Residue

, 2022
All firearms release gunshot residue after being fired, which settles on and around the shooter at a crime scene. The residue itself is composed of a variety of components, the most important to our study being heavy metals.

Indirect Measurement of Shooting Distance by Active Thermography

Forensic Sciences
Background: The analysis of gunshot residue (GSR) is crucial for gaining information on how a crime occurred. This study presents an innovative proof of concept for measuring shooting distances by performing Flash-Pulse active Thermography (FPT ...

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...
