Comparison of automated and manual DNA differential extraction in mock vaginal sexual...
Differential extraction is a core forensic DNA technique separating sperm cells from epithelial cells in sexual assault evidence, facilitating recovery of male DNA profiles from mixed biological samples. Effective physical separation reduces the occurrence of mixed DNA profiles, ...
Forensic characterization of transparent traces: A spectroscopic and chemometric approach...
Clear or unpigmented lip gloss, in particular, has become quite popular among people of all genders. Their unpigmented characteristics make them less noticeable at the crime scene; thus, they are less likely to be intentionally removed by the perpetrators. Therefore, in the prese...
Enhancing PRNU‐based camera identification by denoising filters and similarity metrics
Source camera identification through photo response nonuniformity (PRNU) analysis is a well‐established forensic technique, yet the choice of experimental conditions and parameters of the algorithms critically impacts identification reliability. For the first time, this study sys...
New PMCT multi‐indicator ossification standards for age estimation of the knee in modern...
Skeletal age estimation is crucial to medicolegal work, aiding subadult identification, and living age assessments in legal contexts. This study aims to document the ontogeny of knee skeletal indicators on post‐mortem computed tomography (PMCT), and quantify interpopulation varia...
Noncoronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with rupture into the right atrium
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly, with autopsy‐confirmed fatal cases remaining uncommon. This report presents a rare case of sudden death in a 13‐year‐old male adolescent caused by rupture of a noncoronary SVA into the right atrium, resulting in acute ci...
Explainable copy‐move forgery detection in videos: Generative adversarial network‐based...
With the nascent reliance on unmanned aerial systems as a means of surveillance, security, and monitoring, it is essential to ensure that video data legitimacy is assured. Object‐based Copy‐Move Forgery (CMF), in which an object is either copied or moved in the frame or across a ...

EMBNet: Multi‐scale feature learning with efficient channel attention for deepfake speech...
With the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence, deepfake speech has emerged as a significant threat to digital audio authenticity, posing challenges for forensic analysis and legal applications. In this study, we propose EMBNet, a task‐oriented deepfake speech d...
Honey bee sting deaths at medicolegal autopsy: A case series demonstrating variable...
Bee sting deaths represent an uncommon but important forensic problem because death may follow either anaphylaxis after only a few stings or toxic envenomation after massive attacks, while autopsy findings may be subtle and nonspecific. We present three fatal medicolegal autopsy ...
