Low temperature episodes in development of blowflies: implications for postmortem interval estimation.
Traditionally the calculation of accumulated degree days or hours (ADD or ADH) involves the concept of a minimum threshold temperature below which development ceases. Hence in fluctuating conditions, where temperatures drop below this threshold, there may be periods of time when development is taken to be zero. This has important implications when the calculation of postmortem interval (PMI) is...
متن کاملRole of Vitreous Potassium Level in Postmortem Interval Estimation
Background: A consistent rise in the level of vitreous potassium, commencing shortly after death and continuing for 125 hours has been known for 40 years and recommended for the estimation of the time since death. Aim: To find out the Potassium level in vitreous humor samples taken from the medicolegal autopsy cases and to determine its correlation with the known postmortem interval. Methods: I...
متن کاملEstimation of Postmortem Interval Using Arthropod Development and Successional Patterns.
Insects are frequently the first organisms to arrive at a dead body. By their activities they begin a biological clock that will allow for an estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI). In this publication, the two general approaches to estimation of the PMI using entomological data are reviewed: (a) use of individual species developmental patterns; and (b) use of arthropod succession data. Re...
متن کاملProblems in Estimation of Postmortem Interval Resulting from Wrapping of the Corpse : A Case Study from Hawaii '
J. Agric. Entomol. 9(4):237·243 (October 1992) ABSTRACT The remains of a female were discovered on the island of Oahu, Hawaiian Islands, wrapped in two layers of blankets. The Diptera recovered from the remains indicated a postmortem interval of 10.5 d. based on developmental rates for two species of Calliphoridae: Chrysomya mega cephala (Fabricius> and Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart). It was ...
متن کاملEstimation of postmortem interval using the data of insulin level in the cadaver׳s blood
An assessment of levels of Insulin in cadaveric fluids, to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI) was carried out. To profile postmortem changes of Insulin, it was extracted at different intervals i.e. (0, 3, 6, 12, 24 h), from the heart of 22 human cadavers. The cases included were the subjects of accidental deaths without any prior history of disease and their exact time of death was known. I...
