Postmortem Metabolomics: Strategies to Assess Time-Dependent Postmortem Changes of Diazepam, Nordiazepam, Morphine, Codeine, Mirtazapine and Citalopram [PDF]
Metabolites, 2021 Postmortem redistribution (PMR) can result in artificial drug concentration changes following death and complicate forensic case interpretation. Currently, no accurate methods for PMR prediction exist.

Examination of postmortem changes in the lungs, trachea, and bronchi in a rat model imaged with small-animal computed tomography [PDF]
Fujita Medical Journal, 2023 Objectives: As less autopsies are performed, the need for postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) as an alternative is increasing. It is important to know how postmortem changes over time are reflected on CT, in order to improve the diagnostic capability ...

Postmortem changes in brain cell structure: a review [PDF]
Free Neuropathology, 2023 Brain cell structure is a key determinant of neural function that is frequently altered in neurobiological disorders. Following the global loss of blood flow to the brain that initiates the postmortem interval (PMI), cells rapidly become depleted of ...

Postmortem Changes as Documented in Postmortem Computed Tomography Scans. [PDF]
Acad Forensic Pathol, 2016 The benefits and uses of postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) have been well documented in the forensic pathology and radiology literature in recent years and research into its utility continue in earnest. Opinions and policies regarding who actually interprets the PMCT scans vary between institutions, but in general, scans will be read by a forensic

Estimation of postmortem interval using thanatochemistry and postmortem changes [PDF]
Alexandria Journal of Medicine, 2012 AbstractIntroductionEstimation of postmortem interval is an important goal in forensic medicine. After death, many physiochemical changes occur in a regular sequence and can be used to arrive at an approximate time of death. Thanatochemistry is the chemistry of death.

Postmortem Changes in Animal Carcasses and Estimation of the Postmortem Interval [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2016 A thorough understanding of the physical and chemical changes that occur in the body after death is critical for accurate interpretation of gross and microscopic pathology at autopsy. Furthermore, knowledge of the postmortem processes and the factors that affect them will aid in the estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI). The estimation of the PMI

Study of Root Transparency in Different Postmortem Intervals Using Scanning Electron Microscopy
Diagnostics, 2023 In the fields of forensics, the identification of human remains is a recurrent problem. The estimated age at death is one of the copious criteria to be evaluated. In adult teeth, the height of the root dentin transparency is used to estimate age. However,
