Forensic autopsy
Forensic Autopsy: The main purpose of a Medico-Legal autopsy is to determine the cause of death and to identify the decedent in possible criminal deaths. To document, collect, photograph and to retain any physical evidence and/or other pertinent trace evidence in order to provide information to reconstruct a specific chain of events leading the person (s) demise.
How autopsy works
An autopsy is a medical procedure performed after death to determine the cause and manner of death. It involves a thorough external and internal examination of the body by a pathologist. There are two main types - forensic autopsies which are performed when the cause of death may be criminal, and clinical autopsies which are typically performed in hospitals by order of the attending physician. The autopsy procedure involves an external examination of the body, followed by an internal examination where the chest is opened and organs are removed and examined. Samples may also be taken for analysis. The body is then reconstructed and prepared for burial or cremation. Autopsies provide valuable medical information and help ensure quality of care.
Postmortem mesothelioma diagnosis
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops from the thin layer that covers many of the interal organs known as mesothelium.
Senior project research paper Final Draft
The document discusses various fields of forensic science that can assist forensic scientists in criminal investigations and court cases. It describes forensic pathology, toxicology, psychology, anthropology, archeology, entomology, odontology, serology, microanalysis and how each area can provide valuable evidence about the victim, cause of death, timeline of events, or help identify suspects. It emphasizes that forensic scientists rely on expertise from these different areas to strengthen criminal cases and make convictions.

Role of the Forensic Pathologist
Few investigations bring with them the intense focus of community interest and news media cov-
erage as that of a suspicious death. Generally, forensic pathologists associated with the medical
examiner’s or coroner’s office are responsible for determining the cause of an undetermined or
unexpected death. These officers coordinate their response with that of law enforcement in the
ensuing investigation. The titles coroner and medical examiner are often used interchangeably,
but there are significant differences in their job descriptions. In the United States, there’s a mix of
state medical examiner systems, county medical examiner offices, and county coroner systems.
The coroner is an elected official and may or may not possess a medical degree. The term coroner
dates back hundreds of years to the rule of King Richard I of England (1189–1199), who created
the office of the coroner to collect money and personal possessions from people who had died.
The medical examiner, on the other hand, is almost always an appointed official and is usually a
physician who generally is a board-certified forensic pathologist and is responsible for certifying
the manner and the cause of a death.
The tasks of examining the case for the cause and manner of death and recording the results
on a death certificate are the responsibilities of both offices. However, although both the coro-
ner’s office and the medical examiner’s office are charged with investigating suspicious deaths,
only the pathologist is trained to perform an autopsy. Ideally, the coroner or medical examiner’s
office should be staffed with physicians who are board certified in forensic pathology and should
charge them with determining the cause of death by autopsy. The cause-of-death determination,
however, involves not just an autopsy but also the history of death, witness statements, relevant
medical r.

Building a face, and a case, on dna
Police in Columbia, South Carolina released a computer-generated sketch of an unknown suspect in a murder case based solely on DNA evidence found at the crime scene. This may be the first time a suspect's face has been put before the public using DNA evidence alone. Investigators are increasingly able to determine physical characteristics like eye and hair color of suspects from their DNA. While DNA evidence can help narrow down suspect lists, some question the accuracy of predicting physical features from DNA and have concerns about potential racial profiling and privacy issues.

It stresses the importance of forensic dentistry in establishing justice.
Public health determinants and trends
This document summarizes the author's internship experience at the Greenville Health System morgue. It discusses how social determinants of health like living conditions, access to healthy foods and exercise, transportation safety, crime rates, and substance abuse influenced the need for autopsies. It also describes the organizational structure of the morgue and its relationship to the hospital and coroner's office. Finally, it discusses how the author's preceptor, Dr. Mike Ward, exemplified professionalism through his thorough, respectful, and dedicated work.
Forensic or legal medicine
Forensic medicine deals with applying medical knowledge to legal problems and aiding the administration of justice. It is used by legal authorities to help solve legal issues involving injuries, deaths, accidents, and other medically-relevant legal matters. The primary tool of forensic medicine is autopsy, which can be used to determine cause of death and provide other evidence for legal cases. Forensic medicine involves collecting and analyzing medical evidence to produce objective information for use in the legal system.

Guide What to do after a Death
This document provides guidance for Muslims on the practical steps to take after a death, including both expected and unexpected deaths. It covers obtaining the necessary paperwork from doctors, coroners, and registrars. It also discusses the religious importance of burial and outlines the funeral prayer process and arrangements. The document is intended to help Muslims understand their obligations and navigate the legal and religious requirements after a death in a stressful time.
Death Scene Investigation
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of a medicolegal death investigator and medical examiner's office. It describes how a death investigator conducts scene investigations, documents evidence, and assists the forensic pathologist. Their goal is to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of a death and provide factual information to determine the cause and manner of death. The medical examiner's office aims to scientifically analyze evidence and facts to help determine the cause and manner of death.
Postmortem Neurological Diagnosis
It's difficult and time-consuming to assess and diagnose neurological problems. Among the various illnesses, many of the same symptoms occur in various combinations. Many illnesses lack unambiguous causes, indicators, or diagnostics, further complicating the diagnosing procedure. A postmortem neurological study is the only way to provide families and loved ones a definitive explanation.

imental design have greatly increased our
understanding of human behavior. Yet,
these near-miraculous developments have
not engendered the collective epiphany
that might be expected. Why? Much of
what psychologists and neuroscientists
have discovered about us is deeply unset-
tling. As Aristophanes warned in The
Clouds, to really “know yourself” is to
know “how ignorant and stupid you are.”1
We are not the people we have long
assumed ourselves to be. While we feel
like rational deciders, directing our
actions through reason and delibera-
tion, we are frequently guided by intui-
tive processes beyond our awareness or
control. We quickly spot flaws in others,
while ignoring the same shortcomings
in ourselves. Our memories — highly
malleable and subject to misattribu-
tion and suggestibility — are more like
ever-changing collages than photographs.
Rather than objectively sorting through
the facts, we jump to conclusions and then
search for evidence that confirms what
we already believe to be true. To make
matters worse, many of our rules, policies,
and institutions are based on myths about
how people think and act. The upshot is
that we are far less safe, less fair, less in
control, less effective, and less just than
we purport to be.
Our legal system is not immune from
the critique. The latest scientific research
suggests that the great edifice of law is
grounded on incorrect and damaging
notions about human cognition that have
gone uncontested for centuries. We have
assured ourselves that when an eyewitness
comes forward and identifies a suspect
with confidence, we can rest easy that
we have the right guy. But in real line-
ups, one third of the time when witnesses
pick someone out they select an innocent
filler.2 We have assumed that when a
suspect confesses to the rape and murder
of a child, we can close the case. But,
again, the emerging data has shaken our
“Know thyself.”
can science
save justice?
Psychologists and neuroscientists say cognitive forces beyond
our control are negatively affecting the criminal justice system
and thwarting the promise of justice for all. Incremental efforts
to address these damaging biases often come up short.
Is it time for bold reform?

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
