No full textYoung women self poisoning with massive ingestion of paracetamol (acetaminophen): autopsy and histological findings
No full textWe report a case of a 26-year-old woman attempted suicide who ingested about 100 tablets of Defalgan® 1 g, which is composed by paracetamol (Acetaminophen). The young girl was recovered in Intensive Care Unit; the serum paracetamol level was 737 mg/l (normal value<20 mg/l). N-acetylcycteine infusion was started at admission, and the woman seemed to be better. The day after the clinical condition worsened and patient developed severe liver failure with alteration of coagulation factors (early developed in disseminated intravascular coagulation), acute renal failure, anemia, agranulocytosis and hypoxemic respiratory failure caused by pneumonia. The woman died five days after the self-poisoning because of multi-organ failure. We report our autopsy and histological findings, which can demonstrate the characteristic cellular damages caused by paracetamol, comparing to literature review

No full textDiagnosis of electrocution: The application of scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in five cases
No full textDeaths from electricity, generally, do not have specific findings at the autopsy. The diagnosis is commonly based on the circumstances of the death and the morphologic findings, above all the current mark. Yet, the skin injury due to an electrocution and other kinds of thermal injuries often cannot be differentiated with certainty. Therefore, there is a great interest in finding specific markers of electrocution. The search for the metallization of the skin through Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) probe is of special importance in order to achieve a definite diagnosis in case of suspected electrocution
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
A case of intrauterine fetal death related to furcate cord insertion: a brief review of the literature and professional liability considerations
No full textThe furcate insertion of the umbilical cord is an uncommon abnormality, often asymptomatic, potentially dangerous, or lethal for the fetus and the mother. This report shows the case of a healthy 29-year-old patient, at 37 weeks of gestation, admitted to the hospital two days before the due date because of the appearance of uterine contractions; clinical exams were regular. The following day, no fetal movements were perceived, a cardiotocography was performed, showing the absence of fetal heartbeat. A dead fetus was delivered. Autopsy showed furcate insertion of the umbilical cord and the rupture of the umbilical vessel, which caused fetal hemorrhagic shock. Furcate insertion still remains mostly undiagnosed and rarely it can be identified prenatally (only three cases are reported in literature). Future research, mainly in forensic fields, could improve the knowledge about this condition, helping prenatal diagnosis and providing warnings that can prevent similar deaths in the future
