Abstract:
A complex suicide defines a combination of multiple suicidal methods the victim successively or concurrently carries out. We present a case of a 72-year old man found dead on the railtrack, seemingly committing simple train-related suicide. Flobert revolver - a small caliber handgun was found nearby. Herein, we emphasize the significance of a thorough external examination, stress the fact that victim can act after low-energy projectile trauma and match our case to a similar complex suicide.

01:21Mass Spectrometry: Complex Analysis
Mass spectrometry is an important technique for the identification of pure compounds. However, it has some limitations for the analysis of complex mixtures, often due to excessive fragmentation making the spectrum too complicated to decipher. Mass spectrometry can be combined with suitable separation methods in sequence, forming hyphenated methods, which are useful in the analysis of complex mixtures.

01:21Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Tandem mass spectrometry is a technique that uses multiple mass analyzers in series to obtain a higher selectivity and reduce chemical noise during analyte detection. Instruments with multiple analyzers separated by an interaction cell enable secondary fragmentation and selected study of the fragment ions.Secondary fragmentations occur in the interaction cell and can be induced by various factors. Fragmentation induced by collision with inert gases, such as N2, Ar, He, etc., is called...
