Overview

Cutting-edge accounts of special topics from various fields of forensic pathology and death scene investigation. The authors explore new avenues for analyzing the pathology of death from starvation (child neglect), head injuries inflicted by glass bottles, the clinical and pathological features of primary cerebral neoplasms, obesity as it is relevant to the forensic pathologist, and infant and early childhood asphyxial death. Other areas of interest covered include suicide, viral myocarditis in sudden death cases, curious death scene phenomena (hiding, covering and undressing), forensic entomology, the interpretation of toxicological findings, anabolic-androgenic-steroid abuse, and autopsy findings of subendocardial hemorrhages.

Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen: ! Wie schon in Band 1 macht die Vielfalt und Unterschiedlichkeit der behandelten Themen den Reiz aus. Aubersichtliche Tabellen und Abbildungen tragen zum Verstandnis bei. Pragnante Fotos unterstreichen den Text. Man kann das Werk eben wirklich lesen und dann in Ruhe den nachsten Band abwarten, wahrend dessen sich im Laufe der Zeit ein umfassendes Nachschlagewerk im Bucherschrank ansammelt. Die umfangreichen Literaturangaben vereinfachen den noch tieferen Einstieg in die Themen erheblich. Die Anschaffung der ! Buchreihe ist jedem rechtsmedizinisch Tatigen zu empfehlen. (Wolfgang Huckenbeck, in: SeroNews, June 2005, S. 51)
