Leading forensic pathologists from around the world synthesize the
practical advances in a variety of important subspecialties of
forensic pathology and demonstrate how the latest medical and
scientific progress is being applied to solve current problems of
high interest to forensic pathologists today. The authors offer
cutting-edge insights into death from environmental conditions
(lightning and elder abuse), homicide by sharp force, death from
natural causes (asthma, Marfan syndrome, and peliosis of the liver
and spleen), and pathology of human endothelium in septic organ
failure. Additional chapters address special aspects of crime scene
interpretation and behavioral analysis, neogenesis of ethanol and
fusel oils in putrefying blood, agrochemical poisoning, imaging
techniques in forensic pathology, and fixation techniques for
organs and parenchymal structures. A comprehensive, up-to-date
review of the international literature is given for each chapter.
