investigation of erthquake related deaths using post-mortem multi detector computed tomography
No full textPurpose: Post-mortem Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) is now recognized as a valuable adjunct medicolegal tool. Beside its application for identification purposes, MDCT is used to assist pathologists in determining cause of death. Compared to conventional radiography MDCT offers advantages in detecting blunt force injury, and can quickly provide a guide to lethal injuries. Therefore, the use of MDCT for earthquake-related deaths is an obvious choice, as blunt force injuries are common in such victims. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of MDCT on the assessment of causes of death, in a case series of fatal injuries after the 2012 Modena earthquake.
Methods and materials: 12 medicolegal cases underwent full-body CT-scan and external examination. The circumstances of death were collected and reviewed. Conventional autopsy was not authorized by the local Prosecutor for all cases.
Results: In all cases, post-mortem MDCT and external examination revealed lesions consistent with fatal blunt force injuries, and the absence of contrary evidence that could support another cause of death. These findings together with the circumstantial data were sufficient to assess cause and manner of death.
Conclusions: The results of this study confirm that post-mortem MDCT provides an important contribution to determining cause of death, especially when autopsy is not performed. Therefore, radiologists with experience in post-mortem imaging are needed to support forensic pathologists in establishing causes of death, without necessarily having to perform conventional autopsy
Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

Correlation between epicardial fat volume and postmortem radiological and autopsy findings in cases of sudden death: A pilot study
No full textEpicardial fat volume (EFV) has recently been recognized as a good predictor of multivessel coronary artery disease, and the Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CACS) is a parameter that estimates the amount of calcium in the coronary tree. Both of these parameters can be assessed non-invasively by cardiac computed tomography. Previous studies have investigated a correlation between autopsy results and radiologically calculated EFV and CACS. The present study aims to investigate a correlation between EFV and other radiological (CACS and the presence of coronary artery opacification defects on Multi-Phase Post-Mortem Computed Tomography Angiography (MPMCTA)) and autoptic (presence of coronary stenosis) findings, in order to verify whether EFV can be considered a good predictor of radiological and autoptic coronary findings. A cohort of 21 subjects who died suddenly was examined. Firstly, MPMCTA was performed, then autopsy was carried out. EFV and CACS were radiologically calculated, the detection of opacification defects on MPMCTA was investigated and the presence of coronary stenoses on autopsy was assessed. 21 deceased individuals (51 ± 10,77 years; 19 men) were evaluated. Statistically significant correlations were found between levels of EFV > 125 mL (cut-off indicated for prognostic risk stratification) and CACS > 0 (signifying the presence of coronary calcifications), opacification defects on MPMCTA, and coronary stenosis on autopsy. The volume of the epicardial fat, detected radiologically, is a promising additional tool in the assessment and risk stratification for sudden death. Further research is needed to better explore the application of radiologically calculated EFV in cases of sudden death
