Current Concepts in Forensic Entomology

Book review: Reasoning agents in a dynamic world: The frame problem. Kenneth M. Ford and Patrick J. Hayes, eds.,

ion is typically realized in a representation either for the purposes of modeling in AI, or to explain a particular behavioral phenomenon in cognitive science. The frame problem is “the tip of the iceberg”, as it were, of certain scientific and methodological approaches in AI and cognitive science. The germinal issue, then, does not appear to entail whether the frame problem is solvable or not....

Meniscal Roots: Current Concepts Review

Meniscal root tears are defined as radial tears located within 1 cm from the meniscal attachment or a bony rootavulsion. This injury is biomechanically comparable to a total meniscectomy, leading to compromised hoop stressesresulting in decreased tibiofemoral contact area and increased contact pressures in the involved compartment.These changes are detrimental to the articular cartilage and ult...

Forensic entomology in Germany.

Forensic entomology (FE) is increasingly gaining international recognition. In Germany, however, the development of FE has been stagnating, mainly because of the lack of cooperation between police, forensic medicine and entomology. In 1997 a co-operative research project 'Forensic Entomology' was started in Frankfurt/Main at the Center of Legal Medicine and the Research Institute Senckenberg. T...

Posterior Cruciate Ligament: Current Concepts Review

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the largest and strongest ligament in the human knee, and the primary posteriorstabilizer. Recent anatomy and biomechanical studies have provided an improved understanding of PCL function. PCLinjuries are typically combined with other ligamentous, meniscal and chondral injuries. Stress radiography has becomean important and validated objective measure in...
