Post-mortem Investigation of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy: Role of Autopsy in Classification of Death
E.E. Turk (ed.), Forensic Pathology Reviews, Volume 6, Forensic Pathology Reviews 6, DOI 10.1007/978-1-61779-249-6_2, © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 Abstract Sudden unexpected deaths in infancy (SUDI) represent the commonest group of post-neonatal childhood deaths. Pathologists in the UK are currently recommended to follow the “Kennedy protocol” when performing such autopsies. This...
متن کاملUtility of Post-Mortem Genetic Testing in Cases of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome
BACKGROUND Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) describes a sudden death with negative autopsy and toxicological analysis. Cardiac genetic disease is a likely etiology. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the clinical utility and combined yield of post-mortem genetic testing (molecular autopsy) in cases of SADS and comprehensive clinical evaluation of surviving relatives. METHODS We evalu...
متن کاملPost-mortem genetic analysis in juvenile cases of sudden cardiac death.
BACKGROUND The reason behind a sudden death of a young individual remains unknown in up to 50% of postmortem cases. Pathogenic mutations in genes encoding heart proteins are known to cause sudden cardiac death. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to ascertain whether genetic alterations could provide an explanation for sudden cardiac death in a juvenile cohort with no-conclusive cause of death...
متن کاملPost-mortem determination of anticonvulsant concentrations and lung oedema in the sudden, unexpected death of epileptics
The report by Crawford et al makes little mention of sources of error in their study. The General Practices involved were selected twice; first by responding to the research team at all, and secondly by speed of response. Only 40 of 556 Practices made it over both hurdles! This would seem an effective means of selecting 40 Practices with an enthusiastic interest in epilepsy. What were the polic...
متن کاملNext-Generation Sequencing in Post-mortem Genetic Testing of Young Sudden Cardiac Death Cases
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the young (<40 years) occurs in the setting of a variety of rare inherited cardiac disorders and is a disastrous event for family members. Establishing the cause of SCD is important as it permits the pre-symptomatic identification of relatives at risk of SCD. Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) is defined as SCD in the setting of negative autopsy findings and t...
