IntroductIon No problem in forensic medicine has been investigated as thoroughly as that of determining the TSD on the basis of post mortem findings. Many chemical changes begin to take place in the body immediately or shortly after death and progress in a fairly orderly fashion until the body disintegrates. Each change has its own time factor or rate. These changes occur in various body fluids...

day, however, the ophthalmoscopic picture was substantially altered. At the former site of the foreign body there was now only a fine hazy spot of exudate, the foreign body was now further forward in the eye, and could be seen to move in response to the magnet to nasal and temporal sides in turn. Two further days were spent in attempts at extraction by the electro-magnet, but without success. F...

The authors studied the penetration of iron administered extrabulbarly into the ocular tissues of rabbits. It was found that iron passes from the orbit into the eyeball and accumulates in considerable quantities in the sclera, choroid, retina, ciliary body, and even in the vitreous and corneal epithelium. However, light microscopy failed to show any damage to the ocular tissues. The mechanism b...

A 32-year-old man presented with a floater in his right eye of 1-day duration. Examination revealed visual acuity 20/20 2 disc-diameter, pigmented, translucent, freely floating, oval cystic lesion the midvitreous (Fig A, inset showing magnified view). Ultrasonography highlighted nature an anechoic center and hyperechoic borders B) OCT well-defined hyperreflective structure hyporeflective lumen ...

INTRODUCTION Rabbits' eyes were exposed to vitreous humor liquefaction with Q - switched (sometimes called " giant pulses") Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser using two different energy protocols (5 mJ X 100 pulse and 10 mJ X 50 pulse)with and without vitamin C administration. The histological changes in the retina were investigated to evaluate the protective role of vitami...
