Postmortem Biochemical Estimations in Cases of Fatal Hypothermia (Catecholamines and Volatiles)
A hypothermic state represents intense stress accompanied by a massive release of catecholamines. Their estimation can be used to confirm this mechanism of death. We investigated four cases of fatal hypothermia and 12 controls with short and longer agonies on which were performed estimations of adrenaline/noradrenaline and volatile substances (ethanol, methanol, propanol-1, -2, acetone). – In c...
متن کاملWischnewsky Spots in Fatal Hypothermia: Case Report.
69-year-old male was found dead at the roadside in October month, death was declared suspicious by local prosecutor and autopsy was mandated. At autopsy, a large number of dark brown colored, ovalshaped lesions ranging from 1-15 mm under the mucosa defined as Wischnewsky spots, when stomach was dissected were observed. For the formation mechanism of Wischnewsky spots, there has no definite conc...
متن کاملPostmortem diagnosis of induced fatal hypothermia in adult albino rats
Postmortem diagnosis of fatal hypothermia is a major challenge encountered by the forensic expert because of its complex pathophysiology mechanism. This study aims to establish more specific criteria for the postmortem diagnosis of induced fatal hypothermia in rats by the assessment of serum level of cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone, adrenaline, troponin1, calcium, magnesium, some free fat...
متن کاملHistological and immunohistochemical study of Wischnewsky spots in fatal hypothermia.
Wischnewsky spots in the gastric mucosa are considered an important finding for the diagnosis of hypothermia-related deaths. In the present prospective histological and immunohistochemical investigation, 14 cases of fatal hypothermia presenting Wischnewsky spots at autopsy were studied. Macromorphologically, the lesions, varying in diameter from 0.1 to 0.4 cm, had a blackish-brownish color and ...
متن کاملBiochemical Markers in Perinatal
Early assessment of the severity of an acute cerebral lesion secondary to hypoxia-ischemia or other pathologic conditions may provide a very useful basis for preventive or therapeutic decisions in pediatric patients. In the present review, we discuss the diagnostic and prognostic value of a series of biochemical parameters, with special reference to the diagnosis of neonatal HIE. Currently many...
