Unlabelled: Criminologists and medical examiners in practice are interested in the existence of reliable, stable criteria that would allow to unambiguously interpret certain post-mortem phenomena observed in the body, and which would allow to determine the age of death.
Aim: The aim of the study was to study the postmortem patterns of acid phosphatase in muscle tissue (MT) of various types to improve the accuracy of determining the age of death.
Materials And Methods: Determination of acid phosphatase content is performed in homogenates of myocardial, esophageal, diaphragm and intercostal muscles in the early postmortem period (PMP) (3-13 hours after death) in 30 human corpses.
Article Synopsis
- Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a significant health issue globally, leading to high mortality rates and disability among patients, with GDF-15 emerging as a critical biomarker in cardiovascular disease research.
- A study involving 70 ACS patients found a strong correlation between elevated GDF-15 levels and adverse outcomes within five years, with a specific GDF-15 threshold predicting complications with reasonable accuracy.
- The findings suggest that measuring GDF-15 within the first 24 hours post-ACS can help identify patients at higher risk of poor long-term outcomes.
Unlabelled: Forensic medicine is naturally supported by fundamental sciences, its integration with them contributing to its improvement on the whole, particularly in diagnosis of the prescription of death coming. Scientific achievements and foreign specialists in forensic medicine during recent years have made it possible to significantly deepen our sound knowledge of postmortem phenomena.
Aim: The aim of the research consisted in study of postmortem regularities in the content of lipofuscin in different types of the muscle tissue (MT) for improving accuracy of determination of prescription of death coming.
