Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare chronic inflammatory breast disease with no established predictor to guide medical versus surgical treatment. Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) have been proposed, but prior reports rarely adjusted for lesion morphology or other markers of disease severity.

Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...
