Commentary. Fentanyl-related death and the underreporting risk
No full textNovel synthetic opioid overdose deaths have been rising largely worldwide as a result of fentanyl adulteration in the illegal drug supply. Interpretation of post mortem analytical results concerning fentanyl can be challenging in particular due to redistribution phenomena. Lacking of resources, infrastructures and expertise to perform forensic toxicological investigation when an unknown drug or complex mixture of drugs is suspected can affect failure in exactly reporting cause in drug related death. Public safety and public health entities are called working together to enhance the timeliness and accuracy of the analytical characterization and toxicology testing of novel synthetic opioids

Fatal cardiac perforation and pulmonary embolism of leaked cement after percutaneous vertebroplasty
Full text linkPercutaneous vertebroplasty consists of percutaneous injection of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) via a transpedicular approach for the treatment of collapsed osteoporotic or metastatic vertebrae. Even if percutaneous vertebroplasty is considered to be minimally invasive, threatening complications can occur. Cement leakage is the most common complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty. Rigorous patient selection and individual therapeutic strategy may reduce the occurrence of leakage, in particular the risk of cement entry into the venous system and the spinal canal is the potent major hazard of this technique. Cement pulmonary and cardiac embolism are reported in literature as a cause of unexpected death after percutaneous vertebroplasty. Authors report a fatal case of pulmonary cement embolization occurred after vertebroplasty with haemopericardium, due to the perforation of the right atrium wall from a cement solidified fragment. A complete post mortem examination documented the presence of multiple cement fragments in the pulmonary arteries and transmural perforation of the wall of the right atrium by a whitish needle-like foreign body. Pulmonary microembolization was observed under polarized ligh
