We aimed to investigate the potential added value of postmortem MRI (PMMRI) in sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) cases referred to our center between September 2020 and June 2023. Ultimately, 19 SUID cases underwent PMMRI alongside standard autopsy procedures, which included technical examinations such as postmortem CT (PMCT). Four radiologists, two with prior PMMRI experience, provided structured reports following consensus.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFForensic pathology increasingly uses postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMRI), particularly in pediatric cases. It should be noted that each (sudden and unexpected) death of an infant or child should have a forensic approach as well. Current postmortem imaging protocols do not focus adequately on forensic queries.

Another contemporary orthognathic issue is surgical management of malocclusion following condylar resorption. Here we describe a modified C-osteotomy technique as a proposed solution for these difficulties in orthognathic surgery.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA parametric study is performed with the 2D FESTIM code for the ITER monoblock geometry. The influence of the monoblock surface temperature, the incident ion energy and particle flux on the monoblock hydrogen inventory is investigated. The simulated data is analysed with a Gaussian regression process and an inventory map as a function of ion energy and incident flux is given.

We have investigated the long-term incidence of neurosensory disturbances after modified bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, and identified associated risk factors. We prospectively studied 376 patients, and their self-reported neurosensory disturbances were evaluated six months, and one, two, and three years postoperatively. The correlations between the following risk factors and neurosensory disturbances were investigated using univariate analysis and stepwise multivariate analysis: age at operation, sex, type of movement (advancement, setback, or rotation), concurrent genioplasty, type of detachment, iliac crest bone graft, and use of dicalcium phosphate synthetic bone graft.
