Technical Note: Individuals identified by radiographic comparison: A sample of demographics and the region of body used for identification in Clark County, Nevada, USA (2017-2020).

Radiographs regularly aid in identifications by comparing antemortem and postmortem images. The forensic community has widely accepted this method because radiographic images are low in cost, easily transferable, and generally believed to be uncomplicated to assess. However, there is a dearth of diverse, modern radiographic datasets as well as a deficiency in assessing population frequencies of nonmetric traits via radiographs.

Misgendering a transgender woman using FORDISC 3.1: A case study.

•FORDISC was unable to classify a transgender woman despite her extensive gender-affirming medical care, including Facial Feminization Surgeries.•This case study demonstrates that there is a need for forensic anthropologists to educate themselves on cases that may involve transgender people.•The use of a biocultural approach will allow forensic anthropologists to better identify marginalized individuals, including transgender women.

Dehydration-Induced alterations to sharp force trauma on Sus domesticus radii.

Dehydration is a taphonomic process that affects nearly all skeletal remains, yet there is a dearth of evidence on this process within the forensic taphonomy literature. When considering the forensic implications of skeletal dehydration, a particular area of concern is sharp force trauma due to its global prominence in forensic cases. In an attempt to address these literature gaps and quantify the effects that dehydration has on skeletal elements, a controlled experiment subjected Sus domesticus (i.

Novel ophthalmic findings and deep phenotyping in Williams-Beuren syndrome.

Background/aims: To characterise the ocular manifestations of Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) and compare these to patients with isolated elastin mediated supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS).

Methods: Fifty-seven patients with a diagnosis of WBS and five with SVAS underwent comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation at the National Institutes of Health from 2017 to 2020, including best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, optical biometry, dilated fundus examination, optical coherence tomography and colour fundus imaging.

Results: Mean age of the 57 WBS patients was 20.
