Laryngotracheal separation due to accidental ligature strangulation following entanglement...
Accidental ligature strangulation is an uncommon occurrence, most often associated with autoerotic fatalities in adults or entanglement of clothing in machinery, household devices, or vehicles. We report a case of laryngotracheal separation due to accidental ligature strangulatio...
Combining medial clavicular epiphysis ossification and clavicle length on conventional...
Accurate age estimation is crucial in forensic contexts, yet current methods have limitations. This study evaluates whether integrating clavicle length with medial clavicular epiphysis (MCE) ossification improves age estimation on conventional chest radiographs. A retrospective a...

Variations of dental diagenesis between submerged and buried samples over the first...
Burial conditions have a strong influence on the postmortem changes in dental tissue. However, microscopic postmortem changes to dental tissues within a forensic time frame have rarely been investigated and/or reported. In this study, pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) heads were buried...

Comparative study between monolithic and hexagonal ceramic structure against 7.62 × 39...
The experimental work examines the ballistic performance of boron carbide (B4C) ceramics, both as a hexagonal and monolithic cell structure, when used with ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as backing material against 7.62 mm × 39 hardened steel core (HSC) ammunit...
Using 3DF Zephyr to determine body‐worn camera position
Photogrammetry has been used consistently in forensic settings to document crime scenes three‐dimensionally. Traditionally, a large number of still photos are taken, and information from those photos is used to create a three‐dimensional (3D) model. This research aimed to determi...
Assessing the reliability of saw mark features: A comparative study using stereomicroscopy...
Saw mark analysis is an important component of forensic anthropology, particularly in cases of postmortem dismemberment. While stereomicroscopy remains the benchmark for evaluating kerf features, recent advances in imaging technologies offer new opportunities for documenting and ...
A rare case of self‐inflicted throat incision in a patient with psychotic depressive...
Suicide is a complex phenomenon triggered by multiple factors. Cut throat injuries as a method of suicide are rare compared with other methods. This method is most commonly observed in young adult males in developing countries and is often associated with economic hardship. In in...
Analysis of a case involving the seizure of heroin and 4‐acetamidophenyl acetate
The analysis of heroin adulterants is critical for profiling heroin production processes and establishing links between drug‐related criminal cases. Acetaminophen (APAP) is a common adulterant in seized heroin, while acetylparacetamol (ACE‐APAP) was unexpectedly detected together...
In vitro and in vivo metabolism profiles of cathinone and pseudoephedrine: Discrimination...
In the present study, the metabolism of khat (Catha edulis) and pseudoephedrine was compared with the aim of identifying objective criteria that could be used to discriminate between them for forensic and doping‐control purposes. An in vitro study using human liver microsomes and...
From bias awareness to governance control: Regulating human factors across the forensic...
Cognitive bias is widely recognized as a persistent source of error in forensic science, yet mitigation efforts continue to emphasize examiner awareness, ethical vigilance, and training‐based interventions. Empirical evidence from cognitive science demonstrates that such approach...
Comparative evaluation of artifact extraction performance and usability in digital...
The analysis of electronic evidence from smartphones is essential in modern criminal investigations. This study evaluates the performance of three widely used mobile forensic tools, Cellebrite UFED, MSAB XRY, and Magnet AXIOM, using logical extraction on two iOS and two Android d...
