An Entomological Model for Estimating the Post-Mortem Interval
Communication in Biomathematical Sciences, 2021 Identification of post-mortem interval started from the time when the dead body was found. The main question is to identify the time of death. In reality, the task is complicated since many local factors are involved in the process of decomposition.

Post-Mortem Interval Estimation Based on Insect Evidence: Current Challenges [PDF]
Insects, 2021 During death investigations insects are used mostly to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI). These estimates are only as good as they are close to the true PMI.

Comparison of Accumulated Degree-Days and Entomological Approaches in Post Mortem Interval Estimation [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Establishing the post mortem interval (PMI) is a key component of every medicolegal death investigation. Several methods based on different approaches have been suggested to perform this estimation.

Application of Micro-Computed Tomography for the Estimation of the Post-Mortem Interval of Human Skeletal Remains [PDF]
Biology, 2022 It is challenging to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI) of skeletal remains within a forensic context. As a result of their interactions with the environment, bones undergo several chemical and physical changes after death.

Post-mortem interval of buried homicides in Okuku, Nigeria
Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2023 Background Post-mortem interval estimation of carcasses buried in shallow graves is a grey area in Nigerian forensic investigations. Most of the investigations and court decisions on the time of death of concealed homicides are based on assumptions in ...

The optimal post-eclosion interval while estimating the post-mortem interval based on an empty puparium. [PDF]
Forensic Sci Med Pathol, 2021 AbstractThe puparium is the hardened exoskeleton of the last larval instar of a fly, inside which a prepupa, a pupa and a pharate adult fly successively develop. Empty puparia are frequently collected at death scenes, especially in cases with a long post mortem interval (PMI). Although we are not able to estimate the interval between the eclosion of an

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 ...
