Burst abdomen in a case of fatal high‐voltage electrocution: A rare entity
High‐voltage electrocution (>1000 volts) commonly presents with flash burns, flame burns, and injuries due to the entry and exit of current in the body. Sometimes, unusual injuries are encountered in high‐voltage electrocution. A burst abdomen with perforation of the gastroint...
Region‐of‐interest geometry optimization for shooting‐distance estimation from flash‐pulse...
Shooting‐distance estimation from gunshot‐residue (GSR) patterns on textiles is affected by substrate properties, residue distribution, and region‐of‐interest (ROI) definition. This study evaluated how ROI geometry influences muzzle‐to‐target distance regression from flash‐pulse ...

Protodesnitazene: The identification and tissue distribution of a new nitazene
Multiple new analogues from the 2‐benzyl benzimidazole or "nitazene" class of drugs have emerged on the drug market in recent years. Nitazenes are highly potent μ‐opioid receptor agonists that present a substantial public health concern due to their elevated risk of sev...

Firing cycle dynamics and forensic interpretation of 3D‐printed Ruger 10/22‐pattern .22 LR...
Polymer receivers fabricated by fused filament fabrication (FFF) are increasingly encountered in forensic casework; however, their firing‐cycle behavior and the stability of associated ballistic toolmarks remain poorly understood. In this study, Ruger 10/22‐pattern FFF‐printed re...
Accelerated DNA profiling through workflow reconfiguration: Practical experience from 2...
The identification of human remains in mass‐casualty incidents requires rapid and reliable forensic DNA analysis, particularly when dealing with degraded skeletal material. Although rapid forensic identification is a fundamental objective in all disaster victim identification (DV...
Forensic data deduplication: A comprehensive survey of methods and challenges for digital...
The exponential expansion of digital evidence across traditional computing systems, mobile devices, cloud infrastructures, and IoT ecosystems presents new issues for forensic investigators. Modern forensic acquisitions frequently produce multi‐terabyte datasets with substantial i...
Reconstructing user behavior with Android and iOS app‐switching artifacts
Smartphone operating systems generate artifacts such as snapshots, state databases, and usage logs to manage application state transitions during app‐switching. However, these artifacts differ across operating systems in storage location, format, and retention period, which limit...
A juvenile homicide associated with a left‐sided cerebral arteriovenous malformation
Brain lesions are known to affect cognition, emotions, and behavior, and have been implicated in cases of violence, particularly when involving neural circuits responsible for impulse control, emotional regulation, and judgment. While tumors, traumatic brain injuries, vascular ab...
