Postmortem neuropathological examination, while the gold standard for diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases, often relies on limited regional sampling that may miss critical areas affected by Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Ultra-high reso...
In recent years, post-mortem imaging has advanced with techniques such as Post-Mortem Computed Tomography (PMCT) and Post-Mortem Magnetic Resonance imaging (PMMR). PMCT is particularly useful for assessing skeletal injuries, vascular lesions, and est...
BACKGROUND: The hippocampus plays a crucial role in memory and is one of the first structures affected by Alzheimer's disease. Postmortem MRI offers a way to quantify the alterations by measuring the atrophy of the inner structures of the hippocampus...
Prompt personal identification is required during disasters that can result in many casualties. To rapidly estimate sex based on skull structure, this study applied deep learning using two-dimensional silhouette images, obtained from head postmortem ...
Verbal autopsy (VA) narratives play a crucial role in understanding and documenting the causes of mortality, especially in regions lacking robust medical infrastructure. In this study, we propose a comprehensive approach to extract mortality causes a...
BACKGROUND: Depression can be associated with increased mortality and morbidity, but no studies have investigated the specific causes of death based on autopsy reports. Autopsy studies can yield valuable and detailed information on pathological ailme...
