Unintentional fatal overdose of veterinary levamisole in a human subject
Cases of levamisole overdose without coingestants in human subjects are rare. Existing knowledge of human toxicity depends in part on records of adverse events of therapeutic use such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and rarer central nervous system effects. Much of our knowledge a...
New York State's evidential oral fluid testing program
Oral fluid is a viable alternative to traditional sample matrices used in driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) casework. Oral fluid offers several advantages including rapid collection relative to the time of incident, ease of collection, and the ability to detect all rout...

Relationships between human tibia diaphysis shape and experimental injury outcomes
Interpretation is central to skeletal trauma analysis; however, the influence of intrinsic skeletal variation, such as long bone shape, on injury is not fully understood. While previous studies have emphasized extrinsic variables such as loading rate, direction, and number of imp...
Global interlaboratory study: Assessing consistency and accuracy for determining source of...
Images containing faces, body parts, vehicles, weapons, clothing, luggage, furniture, landscapes, and buildings are routinely sent to forensic laboratories for comparison. Trained forensic practitioners offer an opinion regarding a common source or a different source. Results fro...

Study on the thermal damage traces of common textile fibers after simulated transient...
Gas explosions often result in the loss of biological evidence. This is due to transient thermal exposure and extreme destructiveness. Such conditions pose significant challenges to the identification of suspects and the reconstruction of their behavior. Clothing fibers act as di...
Evaluating the use of a novel expert system for interpretation of media authentication...
The evolution of artificial intelligence has enabled the creation of hyper‐realistic synthetic images and videos, significantly complicating the authentication of media evidence. Many algorithmic approaches to media authentication have proven ineffective in digital forensics, par...
