Nondrowning Asphyxia in Veterinary Forensic Pathology

Some challenges in forensic veterinary pathology: a review.

Forensic veterinary pathology is a diverse discipline that is in an early phase of its development. Common challenges include estimation of the age of skin wounds and bruises, the diagnosis of drowning and estimation of the time since death. However, many details of the pathological findings related to these various aspects await validation. The 'multispecies' nature of veterinary pathology, co...

Forensic Veterinary Medicine

Death investigations usually centre on the elucidation on the cause of death. This usually includes a full autopsy. Furthermore, ballistics and toxicology may be employed in some cases. Mostly, however, the cause of death can be found by macroscopical examination or histology in cases where no gross findings are in evidence at the time of autopsy. Examples are cases of poaching, traffic acciden...

Forensic Pathology Education in Pathology Residency

Forensic pathology is a fundamental part of anatomic pathology training during pathology residency. However, the lack of information on forensic teaching suggests the highly variable nature of forensic education. A survey of pathology residency program directors was performed to determine key aspects of their respective forensic rotations and curriculum. A total of 38.3% of programs from across...

Forensic Types of Ischemia and Asphyxia

References 313 In Chap. 13 we described the sequelae of disturbances of the pure primary insults of hypoxia, ischemia, and hypoglycemia. Under common pathologic conditions, a combination of different types of metabolic disturbances regularly occurs. The clinical and morphological features, therefore, may partly overlap. This overlapping of processes is especially important in surviving victims,...
