Forensic wound examination can be improved using advanced techniques. Cytokine markers and molecular methods aid in determining wound vitality and age, enhancing objective analysis in pathology.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Pathology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Accurate and objective wound examination is crucial in forensic pathology.
  • Modern diagnostic and cell-biological methods can enhance wound evaluation.
  • Existing methods include macroscopic, radiological, endoscopic, and MRI examinations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an advanced system for forensic wound examination.
  • To determine wound vitality and estimate time of infliction (wound age).
  • To explore the application of molecular biological techniques in forensic wound analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Routine use of a binocular surgical operating microscope during forensic autopsy.
  • Histopathological examination of biological factors (cytokines, extracellular matrix) for vitality and age determination.
