Estimates of post-mortem interval (PMI), which often serve as pivotal evidence in forensic contexts, are fundamentally based on assessments of variability among diverse molecular markers (including proteins and metabolites), their correlations, and t...
BACKGROUND: Fatal drug overdose surveillance informs prevention but is often delayed because of autopsy report processing and death certificate coding. Autopsy reports contain narrative text describing scene evidence and medical history (similar to p...

It is challenging to diagnose drowning in autopsy even with the help of post-mortem multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) due to the complex pathophysiology and the shortage of forensic specialists equipped with radiology knowledge. Therefore, a com...
Computer Coded Verbal Autopsy (CCVA) algorithms are commonly used to determine the cause of death (CoD) from questionnaire responses extracted from verbal autopsies (VAs). However, they can only operate on structured data and cannot effectively harne...
BACKGROUND /PURPOSE: Establishing an accurate postmortem interval (PMI) is exceptionally crucial in forensic investigation. Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) models are widely employed in forensic practice. ML is a part of AI, bo...

During a helicopter exercise, due to the scarce visibility caused by the presence of snow, a collision between a landing helicopter and one already on the ground occurred. The 40-year-old pilot of the already landed aircraft was killed as a result of...
Widespread medical studies require the analysis of suitable sample numbers to discover certain effects. Arthrosis treatment with hip and knee joint endoprostheses introduces multiple materials into the human body. Metal-containing implants may releas...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been successfully employed for prediction of outcomes in clinical research. In this study, we have explored the application of ML-based algorithms to predict cause of death (CoD) from verbal autopsy r...
