AI Article Synopsis
- - The paper reviews nearly 200 years of literature on methods for estimating time of death (TOD), focusing on body temperature changes after death.
- - It highlights advancements in techniques for measuring temperature in different body parts to improve accuracy in TOD estimation.
- - The authors also share their own experiences with measuring post-mortem temperatures in the eyeball and surrounding soft tissues to determine TOD.
Article Abstract
This paper presents a review of the literature referring to the estimation of the time of death (TOD) over nearly 200 years. Emphasis is put on the development of the methods taking advantage of the decrease in body temperature after death, measured in various body sites. The review is complemented by the first authors' own experiences on TOD estimation based on post mortem temperature measurements in the eyeball and orbit soft tissues.

Statin Use With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Survival in Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer.
Clin Lung Cancer
December 2024
Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD; The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD.
Objective: To determine the association between concurrent statin use with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and lung cancer-specific and overall mortality in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Materials And Methods: SEER-Medicare was used to conduct a retrospective study of Medicare beneficiaries ≥65 years of age diagnosed with NSCLC between 2007 and 2017 treated with an ICI. Patients were followed from date of first ICI claim until death, 1 month from last ICI claim, or 12/31/2018, whichever came first.
Strengthening serological studies: the need for greater geographical diversity, biobanking, and data-accessibility.

Serological studies uniquely strengthen infectious disease surveillance, expanding prevalence estimates to encompass asymptomatic infections, and revealing the otherwise inapparent landscape of immunity, including who is and is not susceptible to infection. They are thus a powerful complement to often incomplete epidemiological and public health measures (administrative measures of vaccination coverage, incidence estimates, etc.).

J Dent
January 2025
Clinic of Reconstructive Dentistry, Center for Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Plattenstrasse 11, CH-8032, Zurich, Switzerland.
Objectives: To evaluate clinical outcomes (restoration survival, technical and biological complications), and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of full mouth rehabilitation with minimally invasive glass-ceramic restorations after up to 12 years of clinical service.
Materials And Methods: Twenty individuals (12 females, 8 males) received full-mouth rehabilitation with minimally invasive tooth-supported glass-ceramic restorations during the years 2009 - 2017 and agreed to participate in a follow-up visit. Full dental and periodontal examinations were completed, and the restorations were evaluated according to United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria.
A low-cost soft sensor for sewer flow monitoring - Learning from water level measurements in manholes.
Water Res
January 2025
School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China; State Key Laboratory of Marine Pollution, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China. Electronic address:
Flow meters are commonly used in manholes to monitor the flow rate for sewer operation and management. However, the large-scale deployment of flow meters in a sewer system is cost-prohibitive due to their high costs and the need for frequent maintenance. This paper proposes a soft sensor that estimates flow rates based on water level measurements in a manhole.

Hepatology
February 2025
Department of Medicine III, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Background And Aims: Around 750,000 patients per year will be cured of HCV infection until 2030. Those with compensated advanced chronic liver disease remain at risk for hepatic decompensation and de novo HCC. Algorithms have been developed to stratify risk early after cure; however, data on long-term outcomes and the prognostic utility of these risk stratification algorithms at later time points are lacking.
