Antemortem vitreous potassium may strengthen postmortem interval estimates
Forensic Science International, 2016The purpose of this letter is to highlight that postmortem interval estimates using vitreous potassium concentrations may be further optimised by calibration against antemortem vitreous samples.

Toward a universal equation to estimate postmortem interval
Forensic Science International, 2017Estimating 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 ...

Determination of Postmortem Interval by Sampling Vitreous Humour
The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1997Estimation 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.

Estimation of the postmortem interval by chemical means
The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1980The literature is reviewed regarding estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) by chemical analysis of cadaver fluids. The most useful measurements on blood and CSF are amino nitrogen, nonprotein nitrogen, ammonia, creatine, and inorganic phosphate; these have some value in the early PMI.

Postmortem interval estimation from body temperature data only
Forensic Science International, 1985One of the most consistently used methods of postmortem interval estimation (PMIE) is by means of body temperature measurements. Several variations of this method exist, from simple 'rules of the thumb' to quite complex equations requiring a knowledge of body mass and height. All of these methods employ a certain degree of approximation and perhaps the

Postmortem interval determination using 18S-rRNA and microRNA
Science & Justice, 2014The importance of determining postmortem interval (PMI) is crucial to criminal, civil and forensic cases. The precise estimation of PMI is a critical step in many death investigations. A technique exploiting the level of RNA, 18S rRNA and microRNA to estimate PMI was investigated.

Comparison of Chemical Methods for Determining Postmortem Interval
Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1989Abstract 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.

Postmortem Changes and Artifacts Occurring During the Early Postmortem Interval
2007The underlying biological processes that a human body or its remains undergoes after death are complex and, as with other biological phenomena, there is a broad range of variables influencing postmortem changes by the alteration of the underlying progress of tissue destruction.

Postmortem interval tayini açısından postmortem göz muayenesinin önemi
2020Determination of time of death is of great importance injudicial cases. There is no medical method which gets the exact time of death determined in the cases the time of death of which is unknown. The safest data are obtained from the place where the event occurs.
