Mandible fractures are relatively uncommon despite the mandible being the most commonly fractured facial bone in the paediatric population. The aetiology of mandible fractures can be categorized as intentional (e.g. as a result of assault, peer-to-peer violence, family violence) or non-intentional (e.g. as a result of falls, motor vehicle crashes, sporting incidents). Peer-to-peer violence affects up to a third of male school aged children in Australia. This case report details the case of a paediatric patient with bilateral mandibular fractures who presented to a general dental practice after an episode of peer-to-peer violence. Clinical examination, radiographic findings and treatment are reported. This paper explores the experience and impact of peer-to-peer physical violence on the individual and his family. A review of the relevant literature is presented. © 2024 Australian Dental Association.

OBJECTIVE: One of the most important parts of accurate wound definition is wound depth. In our study, we aimed to reveal the deficiencies in the depth of wound definition in the general forensic examination forms prepared in the emergency services and to increase the awareness of the physicians responsible for preparing the general forensic examination form.
METHODS: In our study, we included cases from the years 2020 to 2021 that were evaluated by our team upon seeking assistance from the Department of Forensic Medicine at Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University Medical School. These cases involved requests for final forensic reports following injuries. The general forensic reports of the cases were scrutinized concerning wound identification and whether they provided information regarding wound depth in the identification process.
RESULTS: It was observed that 97 of 770 general forensic examination reports included a definition of wound depth. In only 27 of these cases, it was determined that the wound depth was specified in centimeters.
CONCLUSIONS: The lack of definition of wound depth in forensic examination reports is an important deficiency. Physicians working in the emergency department are required to provide detailed information about the depth of the wound when preparing a general forensic examination report since it affects criminal law. In cases where it is not possible to measure the depth, at least information should be given about the condition of the muscle and fascia and the subcutaneous course of the wound.

某年11月中旬，在某乡村废弃田地内，发现一具尸体。据查，死者韩某，男，68岁，独居老人，无直系亲属，1周前邻居报失踪。.

In this forensic case report, we present autopsy findings from a young male in his thirties who had been self-injecting paraffin oil into his upper extremities 8 years prior to death. The injections induced an inflammatory response, leading to granuloma formation. This, in turn, resulted in severe hypercalcemia. The external autopsy examination revealed gross macroscopic ulcerations and enlargement of upper extremities, while calcifications of ligaments, heart, kidneys and dura mater was revealed on postmortem CT-scans. Histopathological examination showed extensive multiorgan metastatic calcifications in several tissues including the lungs, heart and kidney. Cause of death was estimated to be the extensive calcific deposits in the heart likely resulting in cardiac arrest. To our knowledge this is the first case reporting findings from an autopsy in which the cause of death was linked to cosmetic oil injections.

This case report describes the death of a 52-year-old male who was bitten by a venomous snake, Vipera berus (common European adder), on his left wrist. Despite experiencing symptoms, the patient refused medical care and self-medicated with alcohol instead. He was later found dead in his residence. Autopsy and histological examination revealed evidence of an anaphylactic reaction in response to the snake bite, with additional findings of alcohol intoxication and other underlying medical conditions.

Airway obstruction by foreign bodies or laryngospasms often results in negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE). NPPE can develop despite the removal of airway obstruction. This is well-known among clinicians, particularly anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, pediatricians, and radiologists. Computed tomography (CT) features of NPPE include diffuse central ground-glass opacities and thickening of the bronchovascular bundles and bronchial walls. NPPE can also occur after strangulation or smothering with a plastic bag, and is sometimes fatal. Nevertheless, no reports of NPPE are available in forensic journals, and forensic practitioners may not be dedicating the necessary attention to this condition. Recently, the use of postmortem CT as an auxiliary imaging modality for autopsies has increased among forensic institutions in Japan. Understanding the mechanisms and CT findings of NPPE will be useful for forensic practitioners. Herein, we present a case wherein the postmortem CT image revealed NPPE resulting from the obstruction of the airway induced by rice cakes.
