The detection of latent fingermarks on semi‐porous substrates with UV‐C and the full...
The use of UV‐C imaging for the detection of latent fingermarks has been reported since the 1970s; however, widespread adoption has been limited due to health and safety concerns as well as its possible detrimental effects on DNA evidence. Semi‐porous substrates may not be suitab...
A portable voltammetric sensor for presumptive screening of xylazine and ketamine in...
Xylazine and ketamine are psychoactive substances that may be encountered in drug‐facilitated crimes, including their presence in beverages. Rapid and portable screening methods are therefore desirable for preliminary forensic analysis, particularly at the scene of investigation....
Evaluating the effects of age on pubic morphoscopic traits for sex estimation in a South...
The pelvis is one of the most reliable skeletal elements for sex estimation, with three pubic morphoscopic features regarded as highly sexually dimorphic. However, the extent to which age‐related skeletal remodeling influences the expression of these traits and their utility for ...
Childhood trauma and dimensions of criminal thinking in individuals referred for forensic...
Childhood trauma has been consistently associated with criminal behavior, yet its relationship with criminal thinking remains understudied. This single‐center, cross‐sectional study examined the associations between childhood trauma and dimensions of criminal thinking among indiv...
GC/MS determination of gabapentin in human plasma and vitreous humor and its application...
Gabapentin (GBP) is widely prescribed off‐label, and cases of misuse, abuse, self‐medication, and intentional self‐harm have been reported. This study aimed to develop and validate a simple GC‐MS method for the determination of GBP in plasma and vitreous humor (VH) and to explore...
