Insights

New death certificate models are mandatory for physicians since January 1, 2018, following 2017 legislative changes impacting funeral laws and medical death reporting for national statistics.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Medical Informatics
  • Legal Medicine

Background:

  • Recent legislative changes in 2017 have updated funeral laws and death reporting procedures.
  • New models for death certificates were implemented starting January 1, 2018.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To inform healthcare providers about the recent changes and instructions for using the new death certificate models.
  • To outline the implications of updated legislation on funeral practices and death reporting.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of legislative changes concerning funeral practices and death reporting.
  • Review of new death certificate formats and data requirements.

Main Results:

  • Physicians are required to use new death certificate models effective January 1, 2018.
  • Updated procedures impact custodial care and data completion for mortality statistics.
  • Death certificates can be submitted electronically or in paper format.

Conclusions:

  • Adherence to new death certificate guidelines is crucial for accurate national mortality statistics.
  • The changes aim to improve the quality and consistency of death reporting.
  • Electronic and paper formats offer flexibility in certificate submission.

Overview of Cell Death01:30

Overview of Cell Death

Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

Autophagic Cell Death01:18

Autophagic Cell Death

Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and...

Negative Regulator Molecules01:23

Negative Regulator Molecules

Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Fixing Double-strand Breaks02:04

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...
