Post-mortem Interval estimate based on dental pulp: A histomorphology approach. [PDF]
J Forensic OdontostomatolEstimating the post-mortem interval (PMI) of human remains based on the histomorphology of dental pulp parameters is promising, but available evidence is scarce and sometimes contradictory without a scientific model. The aim of the study is to characterise the histomorphological changes of dental pulp associated with the decomposition of human remains ...

Volabolomic Fingerprinting for Post-Mortem Interval Estimation: A Novel Physiological Approach [PDF]
BiomoleculesDeath is a multifaceted process wherein each individual cell and tissue has a metabolic homeostasis and a time of functional cessation defined by the dying process as well as by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Decomposition is physiologically associated

IPMICALC: an Integrated Post-mortem Interval Calculator
Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, 2022 Correctly estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI) is essential in forensic practice. In recent decades, the measurement of vitreous humor analyte concentrations - especially of hypoxanthine and potassium - and their correlation with the PMI have returned good results. However, calculating the PMI from the data collected can be quite complex.

Profiling of RNA degradation for estimation of post mortem [corrected] interval. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 An estimation of the post mortem interval (PMI) is frequently touted as the Holy Grail of forensic pathology. During the first hours after death, PMI estimation is dependent on the rate of physical observable modifications including algor, rigor and ...

MicroRNAs as Useful Tools to Estimate Time Since Death. A Systematic Review of Current Literature
Diagnostics, 2021 Estimating the time of death remains the most challenging question in forensic medicine, because post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation can be a remarkably difficult goal to achieve. The aim of this review is to analyze the potential of microRNAs (miRNAs)

Looking for Post-Mortem Metabolomic Standardization: Waiting for Godot—The Importance of Post-Mortem Interval in Forensic Metabolomics [PDF]
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2021 A growing body of evidence suggests that the post-mortem interval exerts a strong effect on the metabolome, independently of the biological matrix or the cause of death. A sound and shared approach in standardization is mandatory.
