Postmortem CT and autopsy findings in an elevator-related death: a case report.

Elevator-related fatalities and injuries are rarely discussed. Falls have been identified as the first cause of mortality in the majority of these accidents. Evidence suggests that many elevator accidents may be attributed to inadequate equipment maintenance or malfunctions of the devices.

Taser-Related Ocular Injuries: A Review of the Literature and Medico-Legal Implications.

Purpose: Electric weapons have dangers associated with their use, such as burns and trauma related with the impacts of uncontrolled falls, even though they often minimize morbidity and mortality. The exact visual outcome of the damage inflicted is unknown, even though numerous studies have been documented in the literature about the ocular damage induced by the use of these tools.

Methods: We present a narrative review of types of eye damage associated with the use of the Taser.
