Article Synopsis
- A woman in her thirties was found dead, and an autopsy showed no signs of injury or natural disease, prompting a toxicological investigation.
- Toxicology tests revealed high levels of fluvoxamine, levomepromazine, and trihexyphenidyl, with fluvoxamine's toxicity likely enhanced by levomepromazine, which inhibits its metabolism.
- The combination of these drugs could increase the risk of seizures and other serious symptoms, leading to the conclusion that her death was caused by dangerous interactions between multiple medications.

Purpose: We have investigated the absorption dynamics of petroleum fuel components from the analytical results of autopsy samples.
Methods: Post-mortem samples of the severely burned case, including femoral blood, intratracheal contents (mucus) and intratracheal gas-phase samples were collected, and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer with head-space solid-phase microextraction.
Results: The composition of flammable substances in the tracheal gas phase differed slightly from that in mucus.
A new electroneurography as a prognostic tool for marginal mandibular nerve paralysis after parotid gland surgery: A preliminary evaluation.

Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, Osaka Medical College, Takatsuki, Japan.
Objective: Marginal mandibular nerve paralysis is the most frequent complication of benign parotid tumor surgery and results in cosmetic deformity. The purpose of this study was to develop a new electroneurography method for marginal mandibular nerve paralysis using electroneurography (ENoG) and judge its usefulness for clinical practice.
Methods: Twenty-seven patients who underwent surgery for benign parotid tumor were enrolled.
Type AB thymoma is not a mixed tumor of type A and type B thymomas, but a distinct type of thymoma.

Type AB thymoma is generally regarded to be a mixture of type A and type B thymomas, but has not been studied extensively. In this study, we precisely investigated the characteristics of type AB thymoma immunohistochemically and compared it with other types of thymoma, including type A, metaplastic, and type B1 thymoma. In type A thymoma, the tumor cells were composed solely of pan-cytokeratin (CK-AE1/AE3)(+) claudin-1(+) vimentin(-) epithelial membrane antigen (EMA)(-) short spindle cells.
