The use of dietary isotopes as a preliminary step in the death investigation of unidentified skeletal human remains in British Columbia, Canada.
J Forensic Sci

Department of Archaeology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
In British Columbia, Canada, unidentified skeletal human remains are often recovered by law enforcement or civilians and there is a question if they are modern and of medicolegal significance, or historical or archaeological. We used relatively fast and inexpensive carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of human bone collagen from a selection of these remains (n = 48) combined with a logistic regression model to classify remains as modern, historical, or archaeological. We then confirmed our temporal classification through directly radiocarbon dating each individual and found that we could predict the temporal group with 93% accuracy.

Sudden death in the young (SDY) poses a public health problem affecting thousands of individuals annually in the United States. The SDY Case Registry utilizes existing infrastructure of death investigation programs, including medical examiner/coroner (ME/C) systems, to enhance understanding of SDY causes and risk factors to inform prevention strategies. This includes identifying and promoting screening recommendations for at-risk family members.

Article Synopsis
- Fatal falls involving stairs are common in older adults and those with certain health conditions, but often the role of a third party is hard to determine based solely on medical examination.
- The study aimed to analyze cases of fatal stair falls over a decade to distinguish between those classified as accidental and those deemed undetermined.
- Findings revealed that undetermined falls had more severe injuries, like craniofacial fractures and intracranial damage, indicating a need for in-depth investigations by coroners beyond just the medical evidence.
Microplastics in the Olfactory Bulb of the Human Brain.

Department of Pathology, Sao Paulo Medical School, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Importance: Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental and health concern. While MPs have been detected in various human tissues, their presence in the human brain has not been documented, raising important questions about potential neurotoxic effects and the mechanisms by which MPs might reach brain tissues.
Objective: To determine the presence of MPs in the human olfactory bulb and to analyze their characteristics such as size, morphology, color, and polymeric composition.
