The validation study of a novel assay with 30 slow and moderate mutation Y-STR markers for criminal investigation and database applications

Abstract The Y chromosome short tandem repeat (Y-STR) haplotyping method has been widely used in forensic applications. However, the existing Y-STR panels are not the ideal tools for criminal investigation and database applications because of their relatively low discriminatory capacity (DC) or high mutation rates. In the present study, the multiplex PCR assay (AGCU Y30) for simultaneous amplification of 30 slowly and moderately mutated Y-STR loci labeled by 6-dye fluorescence...

Frequency of macroscopic intradural hemorrhage with and without subdural hemorrhage in early childhood autopsies

Abstract Some authors have suggested that in the fetus, neonate and infant, intradural hemorrhage (IDH) is relatively common and often presents alongside subdural hemorrhage (SDH). These authors have theorized that pediatric SDH may result from an IDH due to blood leakage from a dural vascular plexus. In this study, we report the inter-observer variation for detection of IDH from a retrospectively collected series of pediatric autopsy photographs, with and without SDH. Autopsy...

Abstract To describe the technical characteristics of fatal diving mishaps and to elucidate the causes of death using a sequence analysis and a multidisciplinary investigation of diving-related fatalities. All cases of diving deaths recorded on the coast of Girona (Spain) between January 2009 and May 2018 were analyzed. Most data were obtained from the police technical reports and the forensic pathology service. Each accident was analyzed in order to identify the trigger, disabling...

Abdominal Radiology : Imaging features of immune-mediated genitourinary disease

Imaging features of immune-mediated genitourinary disease

Abstract Purpose Imaging features of immune-mediated genitourinary diseases often overlap, and the same disease may manifest in different ways, so understanding imaging findings in the context of the patient's entire clinical picture is important in providing the correct diagnosis. Methods In this article, diseases mediated by the immune system which affect...

Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a diesel oil-contaminated mangrove by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria

Abstract In this study, Rhizophora mangle L. mangrove plants and plant growth-promoting bacteria were evaluated for their ability to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in diesel oil-contaminated sediment. The diesel-contaminated soil was sown with plant growth-promoting bacteria in the R. mangle L. rhizosphere and monitored for 120 days in a greenhouse. The plant growth-promoting bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus sp. were analyzed for their ability to degrade...
