An Entomological Model for Estimating the Post-Mortem Interval [PDF]
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.

The Distribution of opiates, cocaine and their metabolites in skeletal muscle tissue and vitreous humour as an aid to post-mortem toxicological interpretation. [PDF]
Post-mortem blood drug concentrations vary greatly and as a consequence of post-mortem change and redistribution may not reflect the concentration at the time of death.

Exploring the role of mu opioid receptor (OPRM1) and CYP2B6 gene variations for methadone pharmacogenomics. Can these variations be used to advance toxicological interpretation post-mortem?. [PDF]
Methadone is increasingly involved in drug overdose cases and the molecular actions of the drug in vivo are largely unknown requiring elucidation. This study set out to examine the relationship between methadone toxicity and CYP2B6 and mu (μ) opioid ...

Dysregulation of miR-381-3p and miR-23b-3p in skeletal muscle could be a possible estimator of early post-mortem interval in rats [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background The post-mortem interval (PMI) is the time elapsed since the dead of an individual until the body is found, which is relevant for forensic purposes. The miRNAs regulate the expression of some genes; and due to their small size, they can better

Importance of entomology in veterinary forensics [PDF]
Veterinarski Glasnik, 2008 Entomological evidence is legal evidence in the form of insects or related artropodes, and a field of their study in the aim of medicocriminal applications and veterinary-medical forensic cases is forensic entomology.

Biochemistry changes that occur after death: potential markers for determining post-mortem interval. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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.

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 ...
