The study is important because dipterans play a significant role in crime scene analysis by helping to determine the post-mortem interval (PMI) and understand corpse relocation dynamics. Nine aerial traps were used across three sites from May to November 2023, and a total of 17,876 individuals from diverse species were captured. Statistical analyses revealed significant differences in dipteran populations across sites and exposure levels. The study identified relationships between species and environmental factors such as altitude, temperature, and sunlight exposure using Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). Results demonstrated that species composition varied with environmental conditions, offering insights into potential shifts due to climate change. The presence of specific species was notably affected by temperature fluctuations, which could impact their usefulness in PMI estimation. Continuous monitoring is crucial to track dipteran population dynamics amidst changing environmental conditions. Such knowledge is important for improving accuracy in PMI estimations and enhancing forensic investigations. In conclusion, ongoing research is pivotal in adapting forensic entomological analyses to evolving ecological contexts, ensuring their reliability in forensic science applications. This study highlights the dynamic nature of dipteran ecology within forensic contexts and emphasises the need for further investigation to observe shifting population dynamics under climate change impacts.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142617836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following study was triggered by an autopsy case in which an unusual blue-green discoloration of organs, which changed during the autopsy, was noticed. A review of the local autopsy database, selected cases including the antemortem clinical documentation and the literature has been performed to clarify the etiology of these conspicuous discolorations and to evaluate their diagnostic value. The study showed that certain xenobiotics may lead to such discoloration. After systemic administration of methylene blue, darkening blue-green discoloration of organs, especially the brain and heart, can be observed. In addition, the systemic administration of toluidine blue also appears to be capable of causing such discoloration. Beyond that, drugs (like Rohypnol®) or other foreign substances (like detergents) containing warning colors, i.e. indigocarmin (E132) or Brilliant Blue FCF (E133) may cause discolorations of the upper gastrointestinal tract or the urinary bladder respectively. A blue-green, possibly darkening discoloration of organs during autopsy may point towards an antemortem administration of certain xenobiotics. The affected organs give an indication of the possible route of application and the type of substance. A differentiated interpretation of the etiology of such conspicuous discolorations at autopsy should only be made considering the (medical) history and, if necessary, complementary (toxicological) examinations.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142544726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The literature related to PMI estimation has witnessed consistent growth over time. In the keyword co-occurrence network, several impactful terms stand out, including blowfly, mitochondrial DNA, and emerging concepts like virtual autopsy. Technological advancements, such as RNA stability analysis and virtual autopsy tools, have played a pivotal role in shaping the direction of PMI research. Scientific research institutions dominate the high-frequency affiliations within the institutional cooperative network. Additionally, the country cooperative network exhibits a trend of co-occurrence and multi-clustering. As science and technology continue to advance, traditional PMI estimation methods mature while novel interdisciplinary approaches drive innovation. By identifying emerging trends and research hotspots, this study provides a roadmap for future investigations, guiding researchers toward new opportunities in PMI estimation.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142544728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A recent method of smuggling is the transportation of cocaine with various chemicals or with impregnated materials such as cloth and paper. This study aims to examine the change in the amount of cocaine on the paper surface and attempts to decide the best fingermark development method in the case of smuggling trafficking in the form of impregnated paper with the least effect on the cocaine concentration on the paper. The papers (n = 6 + 1) were prepared for each fingermark development method, including a blank paper, were dipped into a working solution prepared by dissolving 0.38 mg cocaine in 500 mL methanol. Fingermarks were developed by applying various chemicals, including Iodine vapor, 1,2-Indandione, DFO (1,8-diazafluoren-9-one), ThermaNin, 5-MTN (5-methylthioninhydrin), and silver nitrate chemicals and Ninhydrin, which is the most commonly used reagent for visualizing latent prints, particularly on paper surfaces. Also, the natural fingermarks of four different donors, two women and two men between 20 and 50 years of age, were used to compare with the presence of cocaine. Different from others, this study examined the application of DFO and 1,2-Indandione as alternatives to other chemicals and revealed that it is possible to identify cocaine using these methods. The order of success was Ninhydrin > DFO > 1,2-Indandione > ThermaNin > Iodine vapor = 5-MTN. To the best of our knowledge, the current study is the first to investigate fingermark identification methods along with the amounts of cocaine on cocaine-impregnated papers.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142461999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
