No full textHistochemical study of myocardial ischaemic tissue in advanced putrefaction: preliminary results
No full textPreliminary results showed in all cases: after 15 days of putrefaction HE stains was non longer able to detect AMI areas. Instead, after 30 days of decomposition, Mallory trichrome showed strongly positive staining of non-ischemic cardiac fibers (red colored), while ischemic myocardium was very less intense
Necrotizing fasciitis. Possible profiles of professional liability with reference to two cases
No full textNecrotizing fasciitis. Possible profiles of professional liability with reference to two cases. Necrotizing fasciitis is one of the most dangerous complication of an abscess and it is still a disease with a high mortality. In this work, we decided to consider two cases: the first one concerns a male subject, aged 66, deceased because of a fatal necrotizing fasciitis associated to a cervical descending mediastinitis, which evolved from a primary peritonsillar abscess; the second is about a 50-year-old woman with a perineal abscess, then evolved into necrotizing fasciitis associated to a fatal septis shock. After a systematic consideration of necrotizing fasciitis as pathology and an analysis of the possible related risks to a diagnostic or therapeutic delay, we analyzed the particular history of both cases to underline the possible critical issues in professional behavior of the medical staff intervened
Surfactant Protein A (SP-A) in drowning. An immunohistochemical study on lung tissue
No full textL'annegamento rimane ancora una delle diagnosi più difficili della patologia forense perché i risultati macroscopici e microscopici dell'autopsia sono aspecifici. Un marker diagnostico ideale per annegamento deve ancora essere sviluppato, ma alcuni autori hanno recentemente studiato l'SP-A come marcatore di soffocamento e annegamento. Inoltre studi sperimentali hanno mostrato un aumento dell'espressione di SP-A nell'asfissia, suggerendo il suo uso come marker. Lo scopo di questo studio è quello di confrontare le caratteristiche istopatologiche e l'espressione della SP-A nei tessuti polmonari in caso di annegamento con quelli determinati da altre cause di discriminare tra sommersione di cadavere e annegamento.Drowning still remains one of the most difficult diagnoses in forensic pathology because macroscopic and microscopic autopsy findings are unspecific. An ideal diagnostic marker for drowning still needs to be developed, but some authors have recently studied SP-A as a marker of asphyxiation and drowning. Moreover experimental studies have shown an increase of SP-A expression in asphyxia, suggesting its use as a marker. The aim of this study is to compare the histopathological features and the SP-A expression in lung tissue in the case of drowning with those determined by other causes to discriminate between cadaver submersion and drowning
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
