Simple and nondestructive method to access and process material on coverslipped slides
The highly limiting nature of forensic evidence can, many times, force investigators and scientists to access nonoptimal sources of evidence such as slides from sexual assault evidence collection kits or archival slides from autopsies or hospital visits. These slides may contain ...
Toward a unified methodology for preliminary digital evidence assessment: Standardizing...
The increasing reliance on forensic investigations on digital evidence raises concerns about reliability, standardization, and misinterpretation. Inconsistent forensic evaluations necessitate a structured approach for examining digital evidence's strength impacting judicial ...
Traumatic brain injury graphing: A case study of Charles Whitman
Research has identified violent behavior (i.e., assault, murder, and suicide) as a possible sequela of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and repeated mild TBI (rmTBI). However, misconceptions about consciousness and its ability to control an injured brain, the diver...
Advanced digital image forensics: A hybrid framework for copy‐move forgery detection in...
Particularly in validating image integrity, advances in digital image analysis have profoundly affected forensic investigation. The growing reliance on digital image technology can be attributed in part to the broad availability of consistent and effective image‐capturing technol...
The hidden pathology: An autopsy diagnosis of unsuspected juvenile systemic lupus...
Juvenile‐onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is a severe autoimmune disorder that is rare but frequently manifests with multisystem involvement and can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. We present the case of an 18‐year‐old female who was diagnosed with JSLE post...
Fatal spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma in a patient on anticoagulant therapy
Spinal subdural hematoma (SSDH) is characterized by sudden onset neck and/or back pain, dysuria, and extremity impairment. The use of anticoagulants is a significant risk factor for SSDH, indicating that early diagnosis is crucial. However, achieving a timely diagnosis can be dif...
Frame duplication forgery detection and localization based on QR decomposition and...
The widespread use of multimedia editing tools has facilitated the creation of realistic video forgeries, jeopardizing the trust in video content. To address frame duplication forgery, a prevalent technique, this paper introduces a novel algorithm leveraging QR decomposition (ort...
Letter to the Editor – Black‐box studies do not reflect decisions and errors in casework
Deaths in animal attacks: A 10‐year retrospective forensic analysis of direct and indirect...
Animal attacks are a serious public health concern, resulting in fatalities through both direct and indirect mechanisms. This study aimed to analyze demographic characteristics, circumstances, and preventive measures related to fatal animal attacks in Türkiye. A retrospective ana...
Exploring machine learning approaches for efficient image forgery detection
In the digital age, accessible image manipulation raises concerns about authenticity, with forgery techniques threatening personal, journalistic, and security contexts. Detecting alterations is crucial for maintaining trust in visual content. A robust system capable of detecting ...
Positional asphyxia associated with cervical vertebral fractures
Positional asphyxia refers to asphyxia resulting from an abnormal body posture that obstructs pulmonary ventilation. We report two cases in which individuals were unable to escape from positions that interfered with respiration, and cervical fractures were found upon autopsy. In ...
