Looking for Post-Mortem Metabolomic Standardization: Waiting for Godot—The Importance of Post-Mortem Interval in Forensic Metabolomics [PDF]
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.

Biochemistry changes that occur after death: potential markers for determining post-mortem interval. [PDF]
Death is likely to result in very extensive biochemical changes in all body tissues due to lack of circulating oxygen, altered enzymatic reactions, cellular degradation, and cessation of anabolic production of metabolites.

Estimation of post-mortem interval using biochemical markers [PDF]
Determining the post-mortem interval (PMI) or time of death is a critical step in most homicide or un-witnessed death investigations. However, the various methods currently used in estimating PMI yield large post-mortem windows and sometimes contradict one another. Traditional biochemical methods have identified a number of metabolites that change post

Histogical changes in oral mucosa (gingiva) as a method for estimating post-mortem interval: A literature review [PDF]
Estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI) is an essential step in forensic investigations, particularly those involving homicides and unwitnessed deaths. However, traditional methods occasionally yield inconsistent estimates.

Cell Mechanisms of Post-Mortem Excitability of Skeletal Muscle
Background/Objectives: The excitability of skeletal muscle is a less-known post-mortem supravital phenomenon in human bodies, and it can be used to estimate the post-mortem interval.

Various methods for the estimation of the post mortem interval from Calliphoridae: A review
Insects play a fundamental ecological role in the decomposition of organic matter. It is the natural tendency of sarcosaprophagous flies to find and colonize on a food source such as a cadaver as a natural means of survival.

IPMICALC: an Integrated Post-mortem Interval Calculator
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]
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 ...
