Enhanced image‐splicing classification: A resilient and scale‐invariant approach utilizing...
The spread of image editing tools demonstrates how modern mixed‐media technology enables changes in digital images. Such easy access raises severe moral and legal concerns around the potential for malicious image editing. Overcoming this difficulty will need the development of in...
A case of fatal infective endocarditis in uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot with persistent...
Infectious endocarditis is characterized by the inflammation of the endocardium, and individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at a higher risk for developing infective endocarditis (IE), with a predicted risk 100 times that of the general population. We present a rare ...

Selection of microhaplotype loci and development of panel for forensic application
Microhaplotypes have gained significant attention in forensic genetics research due to their advantageous characteristics, including low mutation rates, absence of stutter products, short fragment lengths, and high polymorphism. These features position them as promising tools for...
Source discrimination of colchicine based on carbon stable isotope analysis
Colchicine, a highly toxic alkaloid, has been frequently employed as a poisoning agent in criminal cases. Toxicant source tracing represents a critical research direction in forensic science, where the discrimination of colchicine origins holds particular significance for chemica...
Metastatic seminoma: Initial diagnosis at autopsy due to fatal pulmonary thromboembolism
Testicular cancer is the most common solid organ malignancy among young males, with a good survival rate if detected in a timely manner. We describe a case where a previously well young adult male died suddenly due to previously undiagnosed metastatic testicular cancer with retro...
