要旨

Context:

The postmortem interval refers to the amount of time elapsed between death and discovery of the body and estimation of which is challenging with the traditional methods.

Aims:

This study aims to investigate the potential of histologic autolytic features of buccal mucosa for the assessment of postmortem interval.

Settings And Design:

The study was conducted between February 2023 and November 2024 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Guru Nanak Institute of Dental Sciences and Research, in collaboration with the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, College of Medicine and Sagore Dutta Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal.

Materials And Methods:

A total of 75 postmortem and 10 ante-mortem tissue samples were compared using hematoxylin and eosin and van Gieson's stains. The postmortem samples were categorized according to three PMI stages as early (<10 hours since death), intermediate (10-20 hours since death), and late (>20 hours since death up to the bloat stage).

Statistical Analysis Used:

Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to statistically analyze the obtained data.

Results:

The epithelial connective tissue separation was found to be significantly different among the three postmortem interval groups, whereas significant changes in the connective tissue, such as myofibril degradation, fatty tissue degeneration, and neural tissue degeneration were also noted. Moreover, decreased staining intensity of connective tissue through van Gieson's stain was also found to be statistically significant with the progression of postmortem interval.

Conclusion:

These findings indicate that microscopic evaluation of the buccal mucosa may be helpful for postmortem interval prediction.

Observational Studies

Observational Studies

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

The Integrated Rate Law: The Dependence of Concentration on Time

The Integrated Rate Law: The Dependence of Concentration on Time

While the differential rate law relates the rate and concentrations of reactants, a second form of rate law called the integrated rate law relates concentrations of reactants and time. Integrated rate laws can be used to determine the amount of reactant or product present after a period of time or to estimate the time required for a reaction to proceed to a certain extent. For example, an integrated rate law helps determine the length of time a radioactive material must be stored for its...

Chronopharmacokinetics: Time-Dependent Pharmacokinetics

Chronopharmacokinetics: Time-Dependent Pharmacokinetics

Chronopharmacokinetics studies the temporal change in drug absorption and elimination. These changes can be cyclical or non-cyclical. Cyclical changes occur over a regular interval, while non-cyclical changes occur over a longer, irregular period.
Time-dependent pharmacokinetics refers to non-cyclical changes in drug rate processes over a period of time. It can lead to nonlinear pharmacokinetics, where the relationship between drug concentration and time is not proportional. Non-cyclical...

Naturalistic Observations

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Variation: Normal Distribution, Range, and Standard Deviation

Variation: Normal Distribution, Range, and Standard Deviation

In the field of psychology, there are several ways to organize measurements of a trait, feature, or characteristic (i.e., variables). Qualitative data, such as ethnicity, can be tabulated into a frequency count to provide information about the proportion, as well as the variety of groups in a sample or population. On the other hand, researchers can perform a wider set of calculations on quantitative data. The mean, mode, and median, for instance, are central tendency measures to identify a...
