Postmortem Changes and Estimating the Postmortem Interval

2017
Knowledge of the postmortem chemical and physical processes and the factors that affect them will permit the accurate interpretation of gross and microscopic pathology at necropsy and aid in the estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI). Estimation of the PMI is important in many human and animal death investigations; however, the accuracy in ...

Bioluminescent assay of microbial ATP in postmortem tissues for the estimation of postmortem interval

Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology [Medical Sciences], 2009
To study the relationship between changes of microbial ATP in four kinds of murine tissues and the postmortem interval (PMI), healthy SD rats were sacrificed and their muscles, livers, spleens and kidneys were sampled at different postmortem intervals.

Toward a universal equation to estimate postmortem interval

Forensic Science International, 2017
Estimating postmortem interval is an important goal in medicolegal death investigations. Although several methods have been developed to achieve this goal, many of these require significant time and advanced expertise to generate a reliable estimate. Unfortunately these techniques do not provide much insight during the early stages of an investigation ...

Comparison of Chemical Methods for Determining Postmortem Interval

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1989
Abstract Accurate determination of postmortem interval (PMI) is a problem for the forensic thanatologist, especially in unwitnessed deaths. A number of objective chemical methods for determining PMI have been developed, the most widely used being accumulation of potassium in the vitreous humor.

Determination of Postmortem Interval by Sampling Vitreous Humour

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1997
Estimation of postmortem interval (PMI) by analyses of vitreous humor has certain advantages over analyses of blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Certain substances, including potassium and hypoxanthine (Hx), have been shown to exhibit postmortem increase in concentration in vitreous humor in a linear fashion.

3-Methoxytyramine in the Putamen as a Gauge of the Postmortem Interval

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1986
Abstract The armamentarium of the forensic thanatologist includes the examiner's subjective assessment of bodily changes together with comprehensive evaluation of environmental and associated factors to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI).

Bioelectrical Impedance as a Technique for Estimating Postmortem Interval,,

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2017
AbstractEstimation of postmortem interval (PMI) is a critical component of death investigation. A cadaver can be hypothesized to be a resistor–capacitor (RC) circuit the impedance (Z) of which changes in a quantifiable manner as the cadaver decomposes. This hypothesis was tested using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equipment to apply a current ...

1.10. Postmortem interval estimation: Value of postmortem cerebral CT

Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging, 2014
Objective After death a series of changes naturally occurs in the human body. Understanding these changes and the contributing factors will lead to a better understanding of the normal process of hypostasis and decomposition, a better estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) and thus to a better diagnosis of cause and time of death.

Cartilage: A new parameter for the determination of the postmortem interval?

Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, 2014
The determination of the time of death or the postmortem interval (PMI) is one of the most important and frequently asked questions in forensic medicine. The methods used for PMI determination are based largely on early and late postmortem changes.
