This paper presents a comparative experimental study of flexion-extension movement in healthy elbow and in the prosthetic elbow joint fixed on an original experimental bench. Measurements were carried out in order to validate the functional morphology and a new elbow prosthesis type ball head. The three-dimensional (3D) model and the physical prototype of our experimental bench used to test elb...

Clearance of apoptotic cells is of key importance during development, tissue homeostasis and wound healing in multi-cellular animals. Genetic studies in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have identified a set of genes involved in the early steps of cell clearance, in particular the recognition and internalization of apoptotic cells. A pathway that orchestrates the maturation of phagosomes con...

It is natural for human society to continue adhere certain customs that existed with early humans, although they have improved over time. Each community thus has different customs. Death a certainty in transitional life. At the time of death, every performs rituals peace soul deceased. The novel Koveru Kaluthaikal points out such are performed by protein dyes. Performing as announcing news tyin...

INTRODUCTION Anatomy is an important and intense mandatory course offered during the first year of medical school. Corpse dissection is very important in Anatomy teaching, and first year students will encounter, most likely for the first time, a dead human body during Anatomy labs. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anxiety experienced by medical students with no previou...

The paper presents a personal identification case of an unrecognized corpse, presumably belonging to a male missing for four years. The cadaver was buried in a ground ditch and covered with slaked lime and soil. During the investigation the burial place was indicated. The corpse was exhumed and afterwards transferred to the Department of Forensic Medicine, Medical University of Białystok. Exter...

The authors report herein the entomological evidence from the first documented forensic floating corpse in Thailand. The male remains of unknown name and age was found in the waterside of a reservoir in Lampang province, northern Thailand. Approximately 13-16 wounds resulting from sharp-edged material were found on the body. Numerous third-instar of blowflies Chrysomya megacephala (F) and Chrys...

The use of entomological evidence in the estimation of the post mortem interval (PMI) often depends on the size and developmental stage of blowfly larvae collected from a corpse. Therefore, factors which can have an effect on the larval size and growth rate can have implications for reliable PMI determinations. This study explores the competitive effects of larval overcrowding on Calliphora vom...

A method is described for determining the time of hatching of blowfly larvae on a corpse with respect to temperature. Temperature is known to have a profound effect on the rate of growth of fly larvae, and it is suggested that past assumptions that the growth of larvae found in a corpse has taken place at one approximated ambient temperature may have led to large overestimates of the developmen...

The noun nefeš is ascribed the sense of “corpse” in several instances Hebrew Bible. All them are analysed to trace possible development semantic field this word. It leads conclusion that implied arose from shortening longer phrases (nefeš 'ādām; mēt). used them, however, retains its basic meaning “person,” and reference a corpse only apparent context. In similar sense, author also reads use abb...
