This effort is directed at understanding the potential impact of virtual worlds on these areas and ultimately asks if forensic sciences are missing an opportunity or multiple opportunities. We reviewed the scientific literature to identify clinical trials and observational or other study types using PubMed Central, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane, including terms related to the Metaverse and healthcare, with a screen of 1,200 relevant articles. Applications were from future clinical applications, training, treatment, prediction/prevention, and diagnosis, focusing on finding blanks in forensic and legal medicine. The study carried out in-depth research with the Metaverse regarding all areas of medicine. Despite this, significant forensic pathology or legal medicine research has yet to be identified. The gap may implicate a critical oversight in forensic areas, specifically autopsies, crime scene investigation, and field reconstruction of legal cases that could benefit from implementing virtual simulations. In this regard, incorporating virtual environments in these areas can provide new training tools, case scenarios, and even a revision mechanism for cold cases, leading to an essential trend in the evolution of legal medicine.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1386-1395"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12491342/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143413042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose was to observe whether the use of conductive electrical weapons (CEW) qualifies as a low-risk modality of force, with a similar risk of adverse health outcomes as exposure to other less-lethal modalities, such as physical force, baton, oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray, and canine. A literature search was conducted using the scientific databases PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. We rated the included articles based on quality and calculated the weighted means of injury rates. We found 19 articles reporting the rate or risk ratio of injury following exposure to common less-lethal force modalities in real-life settings. OC spray appeared to have the lowest rate of subject injury. The outcome for subject injury following CEW was ambiguous but seemed to be lower in comparison to baton and canine. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to methodological limitations. The identified studies were heterogeneous in design, which limits the conclusions drawn. In general, there was an indication that the risk of injury is lowest when OC spray is used. The rate of subject injury following the use of CEW is lower compared to baton and canine. Further research using a systematic approach to the registration of injuries is warranted.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1396-1406"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12491360/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144076489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a novel segmentation method to simultaneously remove extraneous data from two images reducing processes and time required during 3D dental image comparisons, and tests this against existing approaches to better understand segmentation techniques for forensic purposes.Methods: Six volunteers had both digital and stone cast full arch dental models created. The casts were scanned and digitized with an intra oral laser scanner, and five different segmentation methods were then applied to all images. Segmented images were compared via a method for aligning 3D images for possible matching (same person) and non-matching (different person) pairings.Results: All segmentation methods removed adequate excess materials to provide consistent repeated outcomes in the comparison process, with the novel segmentation method showing equivalent outcomes with existing methodologies. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the process of segmentation in distinguishing between 3D dental imaging and underscore the potential of 3D imaging technologies in forensic odontology.Conclusion: The study demonstrates the efficacy of a new segmentation method in forensic dental identification, offering a faster approach; calling for further validation of these methods within a legal framework.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1213-1221"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12491115/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143656732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a fatal case of a left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA). The presented case was a 19-year-old male who died suddenly during vigorous exercise with no relevant medical or family history. On gross examination, we observed a semi-rounded bulge at the LAA with a diameter of approximately 5 cm. Sectioning the bulge revealed an aneurysmal dilatation encompassing recent and huge lamellated mural thrombi filling its cavity. Though coronaries showed no stenosis, the mid-ventricular section of the heart showed dark and whitish areas at the lateral and posterior wall of the left ventricle, which were suspicious of myocardial infarctions. Histopathological examination depicted a thinned fibrosed wall of LAA, and the mural thrombi exhibited different stages of healing, which was confirmed using Martius Scarlet Blue stain. We identified myocardial infarctions at the suspected areas in the left ventricle, confirmed by the Masson Trichrome stain. The chronic myocardial ischemia was precipitated by the LAA aneurysmal compression of the left circumflex coronary artery as it passed along the atrioventricular groove. Seven other cases who died from LAAA complications since 1922 were reviewed. Early diagnosis and adequate management of LAAA allow survival without residual complications. Yet, this article highlighted the importance of screening for cardiac diseases in those subjected to vigorous exercise.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1299-1306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143364246","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}

It has gained considerable attention recently in those who have engaged in contact sports. However, given that it is caused by mechanical cerebral strain from nonspecific blunt impact, it seems reasonable to assume that it could arise from a multitude of causes, such as craniocentric domestic violence. While the literature is somewhat contradictory, the possibilities are that CTE may be caused by either the incremental additive effects of less severe trauma, or from more forceful impacts, or from a combination of both of these mechanisms. Another issue to consider is the degree of acceleration/rotation trauma associated with particular events. Careful study of the chronology, nature and dose-relationships of previous head impacts in victims of inflicted lethal head trauma will, therefore, be required. This will help to clarify its significance in cases of domestic violence and also specifically whether it can be additive from more minor impacts, or whether there is a threshold of force required before it occurs.","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1495-1497"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141445990","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}

We reviewed seven leading forensic sciences journals from 2003 to 2023. For this analysis, we focused on two specific timeframes: 2003-2007 and 2018-2023. Our review encompassed original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles underwent detailed examination for article and author attributes and citation metrics. Utilizing univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression analyses, we explored potential associations between the number of self-citations and various publication characteristics. This study analyzed 415 articles related to forensic odontology, of which 237 (57.1%) included at least one self-citation. Key findings highlight prevalent topics such as dental age estimation and human dental identification. A significant portion of the studies involved prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional designs, and there has been a notable increase in the number of reviews and meta-analyses in recent years compared to an equivalent past period. Self-citation was observed in over half of the analyzed articles, with a median total citation count of 31 and a median self-citation rate of 7.5%.
