Methods for the optimal preservation of blow fly intra-puparial forms for morphological analysis in forensic casework.

Accurate minimum post-mortem interval (minPMI) estimations often rely on a precise age determination of insect developmental stages, which is significantly influenced by environmental temperature. An optimal preservation of the entomological samples collected at crime scenes is pivotal for a reliable aging of immature insect samples. For blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae), the most widely used insect indicators in forensic investigations, an appropriate preservation of tissues is particularly important in the case of puparial samples because aging methods for intra-puparial forms usually depend on morphological analyses; however, although informative soft tissues and structures could be discoloured and/or distorted if they are not properly fixed, there is a lack of studies to assess different methods for the optimal preservation of intra-puparial forms collected in forensic investigations.

Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) is uncommon in males, but it is a common complication of Crohn's disease (CD). Patients with CD often present with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and systemic symptoms, such as weight loss, low-grade fever, and fatigue, and rarely it can cause serious complications, such as fistulas or abscesses. Some patients with CD remain asymptomatic, which can progress to severe complications and delayed treatment.

We present the case of a 67-year-old woman who suffered recurrent episodes of angioedema of the face and larynx. After thorough biochemical investigations, an acquired deficiency of C1-INH was suspected. To evaluate a potential underlying malignancy, a whole-body FDG-PET/CT was performed and showed solely a marked splenomegaly pointing towards a splenic marginal zone lymphoma, which was confirmed by pathological examination.

Ménétriere´s disease is a rare disorder of the body and fundus of the stomach, characterized by a massive proliferation of the foveolar cells and subsequent excess mucous secretion. This results in hypoproteinemia due to loss of serum proteins across the gastric mucosa. The cause of Ménétriere´s disease is unknown, and due to the irreversible and premalignant character of the disorder, the patients affected have been subdued to gastrectomy as the only curable treatment.

Which of these two norms, if any, should one use to interpret such a response? In this article, we seek to address this fundamental problem by studying individual variation in the interpretation of conditionals by establishing individual profiles of the participants based on their case judgments and reflective attitudes. To investigate participants' reflective attitudes, we introduce a new experimental paradigm called the scorekeeping task.
