Methods: It retrieves English-language articles related to postmortem interval estimation published in the Web of Science Core Collection from its inception until December 31, 2023, that meet the inclusion criteria. The study calculates the annual number of publications and citations and analyzes the trends. Based on these annual publication volumes, a second search is conducted for the period during which the number of publications in this field exceeded 100 per year, specifically from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023. CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software is used to perform a visual analysis of the second set of retrieved documents. Results: The first search retrieved 1778 articles related to postmortem interval estimation research. The second search retrieved 1265 articles, with an average annual growth rate of 6.84%. Based on the publication trend line for this period, it is predicted that approximately 150 articles will be published in this field in 2024. Conclusion: In the future, the development of postmortem interval estimation will likely remain in a steady phase. Interdisciplinary interactions and constraints still exist. The future direction may focus on using multiomics approaches, combined with advancements in artificial intelligence, to establish comprehensive data models for more accurate postmortem interval estimation.","PeriodicalId":18484,"journal":{"name":"Medicine, Science and the Law","volume":" ","pages":"258024251348722"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144285460","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}

In itself, the prone or prone restrained posture does not likely compromise ventilation to any clinically significant degree for a detainee who is passive and calm, as a number of prone restraint studies have shown. However, these studies were not able to replicate an anxious, distressed or intoxicated (alcohol or drugs) detainee who is struggling and being actively held down. This review examines the physiology and biomechanics of respiration, highlighting the differences between upright position respiration and prone respiration and the effect of restraint on respiration. In addition, the findings of research on the effects of struggling, obesity, anxiety or panic and drug intoxication on the consequent carbon dioxide (CO2) production and the work of breathing are presented. The limitations which each of these factors place on the ability to remove CO2 from the blood are discussed. The evidence suggests that severe respiratory or metabolic acidosis could arise as the result of the combined effects of several factors and that cardiac arrest, if it occurs, would be more likely due to hypercapnia than hypoxia.","PeriodicalId":18484,"journal":{"name":"Medicine, Science and the Law","volume":" ","pages":"258024251348719"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144285412","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 total of 422 dead-on-arrival cases brought for an autopsy to a tertiary center in Ethiopia were reviewed. Descriptive and analytic analysis were used, and logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between sociodemographic variables and the cause of death. The study found that dead-on-arrival cases accounted for 32.5% of all autopsied cases. The mean age was 38.9 ± 15.6 years and ranged from 15 to 90. Approximately two-thirds of the cases were in the 15 to 44 age range. Male victims accounted for more than two-thirds of the cases, and 82.9% of the victims were urban residents. The cause of death could not be determined in 6.6% of cases. Unnatural deaths were the leading causes, followed by communicable diseases and non-communicable diseases. Pneumonia and coronary artery disease were the leading specific causes of death. Residence and age were found to be associated with unnatural deaths. Urban residents had higher odds of dying due to communicable diseases compared to rural residents. Additionally, younger individuals aged 15-29 years had lower odds of dying due to non-communicable diseases compared to those older than 75 years. In conclusion, the high number of brought-in dead cases in Ethiopia, particularly among the younger population, is a concerning issue that requires immediate attention. Unnatural deaths were predominant, highlighting the need for improved safety measures and emergency medical services.","PeriodicalId":18484,"journal":{"name":"Medicine, Science and the Law","volume":" ","pages":"258024251348714"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144248711","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}

Despite gastrointestinal symptoms being relatively common in COVID-19 infections, however, lethal gut complications are often not considered. Two cases with fatal COVID-associated acute mesenteric ischaemia are therefore reported. Case 1: A 74-year-old woman who died following a presentation with diarrhoea and abdominal pain was found at autopsy to have extensive ischaemic changes of her small and large intestines. The superior mesenteric artery and its major branches were widely patent. Histologically acute inflammation and necrosis of the mucosa and intramucosal haemorrhage were found with fibrin thrombi in intramucosal and submucosal vessels. Respiratory viral nucleic acid testing performed on a retronasal swab obtained at autopsy was positive for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). Death was due to multi-organ failure complicating mesenteric ischaemia associated with COVID-19 infection. Case 2: A 94-year-old woman with COVID-19 infection died after developing abdominal pain with melaena and bright red rectal bleeding. At autopsy there was focal transmural acute inflammation of the small intestine with multiple fibrin microthrombi. Death was also due to multi-organ failure complicating mesenteric ischaemia associated with COVID-19 infection. In the absence of obstructive vascular lesions at autopsy in cases of intestinal ischaemia, COVID-19 should be considered with appropriate swabbing and careful histological sampling of the intestine and mesentery to check for microvascular fibrin thrombi.","PeriodicalId":18484,"journal":{"name":"Medicine, Science and the Law","volume":" ","pages":"258024251348724"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144216320","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 most prevalent include anxiety and stress, which stem from feelings of insecurity, perceived failure, long periods of detention, and the inability to care for their children. Furthermore, over 50% of female prisoners have been exposed to traumatic events, including physical and/or sexual violence, and report more adverse childhood experiences and higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than male prisoners. Understanding the root causes of these mental health issues is essential for developing effective interventions. Body awareness, crucial for consciousness and emotion regulation, is often compromised in individuals with PTSD, exacerbating their symptoms. Positive criminology approaches, such as yoga programs, have been shown to improve inmates' well-being and mental health by addressing these underlying issues. This commentary introduces Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) as a novel intervention designed explicitly for female prisoners with PTSD. Research indicates that TCTSY provides significant physiological and psychological benefits, including reductions in negative emotional states, hostility, and overall psychological distress. Despite these benefits, TCTSY has not yet been implemented in South American prisons. Given the substantial female prison population in Chile and their critical mental health needs, introducing TCTSY in these settings presents a promising opportunity. Implementing TCTSY could significantly enhance the well-being of female prisoners and promote prosocial behavior, addressing the urgent need for effective mental health interventions in this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":18484,"journal":{"name":"Medicine, Science and the Law","volume":" ","pages":"258024251329237"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144011879","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}
