Locating Pioneer Graves with GPR

Geophysical monitoring of simulated clandestine graves using electrical and GPR methods: 0-3 years

This study provides forensic search teams with systematic geophysical monitoring data over simulated clandestine graves for comparison to active cases. Simulated ‘wrapped’ and ‘naked’ burials were created. Multi-geophysical surveys were collected over a three-year monitoring period. Bulk ground resistivity, Electrical Resistivity Imaging, multi-frequency Ground Penetrating Radar and grave ‘soil...

Thyroid hemiagenesis with Graves' disease, Graves' ophthalmopathy and multinodular goiter.

Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital anomaly in which one of the thyroid lobes with or without isthmus fails to develop. Here we present a woman patient with thyroid hemiagenesis, Graves' disease and ophthalmopathy with nodular goiter. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the dominant nodule was suspicious of malignancy.
