AbstrakAutopsi pada anak memiliki peranan penting guna mengetahui penyebab kematian tidak wajar pada anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil kasus autopsi pada anak di Provinsi Riau periode tahun 2010-2014. Data diperoleh dari Visum et Repertum jenazah milik Biddokkes Polda Riau yang dianggap dapat mewakilkan gambaran se-Provinsi Riau. Hasil penelitian didapatkan angka autopsi pada anak di Provinsi Riau periode tahun 2010-2014 berjumlah 15 kasus. Karakteristik korban anak didominasi anak laki-laki (66,7%) berumur 0-5 tahun (46,7%). Didapatkan 5 kasus kekerasan tumpul, 3 kasus kekerasan tajam dan 7 kasus tidak dapat digolongkan jenis kekerasannya. Jenis luka akibat kekerasan tajam didominasi oleh luka sayat (66,7%) dengan lokasi luka tersering di leher (100%) sedangkan jenis luka akibat kekerasan tumpul didominasi oleh luka memar (60%) dengan lokasi luka tersering di kepala (80%). Seluruh kasus merupakan kematian tidak wajar dengan kasus terbanyak adalah dugaan pembunuhan (60%). Polsek Kabupaten Kampar merupakan asal polsek tersering (40%).AbstractAutopsy is an important procedure to detecting cause of death in child unnatural death cases. This study aims to describe the profile of child autopsy in Riau Province, Indonesia 2010-2014. Data was obtained from medicolegal autopsy reports that belongs to Riau Regional Police on Medicine and Health. Data is assumed could covered Riau Province child autopsy insidences. There were 15 child medicolegal autopsies recorded between 2010 and 2014 with boy (66,7%) aged 0 to 5 years old (46,7%) were dominant victims. Of the 15 child medicolegal autopsies, 5 cases were blunt force violence, 3 cases were sharp force violence, and 7 were uncategorized. Incised wound (66,7%) was lead type of wounds on sharp force violence which localized on neck (100%). Contusions (60%) was lead type of wounds on blunt force violence which often localized on head (80%). Our study highlights that homicide was the predominant manner of death (60%) and found that Kampar Regency was frequently requested for medicolegal autopsies reports.

Background: Autopsy is a systemic scientific examination of dead body by the help of which information about the cause of death can be obtained in unnatural death cases. Various countries have to follow their own law to perform an autopsy. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to analyze the pattern of autopsy cases with manner and various cause of death, which was conducted in central level hospital. Material and Methods: It is a retrospective type record based study conducted in two years period at central level hospital of Nepal in 775 corpse. Result: Out of 775 cases of autopsy, 465 males and 310 females which accounts 60% of male and 40% of female cases.In context of age group the highest number of cases came for autopsy is 21-30 years of age group which accounts 39.35% of total cases followed by 31-40 years of age group and accounts 31.61% of total cases. Suicidal death cases are the highest number of cases presented 59.09% for autopsy. This is followed by accidental deaths of 27.48% and thenundetermined 9.29% and lastly homicidal 4.12%. Regarding the cause of death blunt injury cases are highly presented with 44.54% and the firearm injury cases are presented very less with only 0.25% in total 775 cases. Conclusion: In the current study it can be concluded that the Medico legal autopsy was performed in 775 corpse in a period of 2 years at central level hospital where the Male cases are predominated over Female with presence of the highest number of cases in an age group of 21-30 years. Suicidal manner of death cases are highest in number with the leading cause of death as Blunt injury.

Sharp force wounds are not an uncommon cause of death in animal abuse cases. The reported case is of an adult dog that was stabbed in the head and had evidence of blunt force trauma. The stab wound was small and circular. The findings strongly support the use of an ice pick to cause the injury and support the need to be aware of unusual causes of sharp force trauma.

A complete systematic investigation of unnatural death helps the court hugely to give an acceptable judgement. Legal officers like officer-in-charge of a police station, magistrates, witnesses of death circumstances and the forensic pathologists are basically involved in such investigation. Proper and true documentation by investigating officer are necessary. Identification of the deceased person, cause of death, manner of death, mode and mechanism of death, time since death, weapons used to cause the injuries etc. are opined in the investigaiton report as per direction given in the code of criminal procedure. These matters have been discussed in this article. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/akmmcj.v5i2.21130 Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 5, No. 2: July 2014, Pages 34-38

The investigation of vehicular hyperthermia deaths in infants and children requires coordination between the autopsy, clinical history, and scene investigation. Unfortunately, autopsy findings can be limited or nonspecific, clinical history may be unavailable, and details concerning ambient temperature and vehicular temperature may be vague. In cases where hyperthermia is established as the cause of death, the certification of manner of death can be challenging and inconsistent among medical examiners. This article provides an overview of vehicular hyperthermia deaths and the certification of cause and manner of death in these cases.

Initial Injury

As long as a direct chain of events can be traced from the injury to the death, then the initial injury must be considered to be the basic cause of death, and this fact may have profound legal implications for both civil compensation and criminal responsibility. Some of the most difficult problems in forensic pathology concern deaths from which posttraumatic complications are disputed as being fatal causative factors. The agony and dying are irreversible dynamic patho-physiological processes. By autopsy only the morphological consequences of these processes could be noted by dissector. The dynamics of dying, direct correlation between initial injury and death, as well as appearance and development of complications provoked by trauma could be established only by clinical medical data. Therefore medical clinical data are critical for forensic pathologists and for solving the problems about the mode and manner of death in cases with long outliving period. Microscopical findings have only academic and scientific importance and are less useful in daily practice. The authors suggest that all complications of injury must be generally involved in autopsy reports, and all severe injuries should separately be registrated both in medical data and autopsy reports. The finding of cause of death must include all observed severe injuries and not only one of the most severe injuries and its complications.

Background: Deaths occuring without a known disease and/or a known cause, deaths with non-lethal diseases are interpretated as sudden-unexpected-suspected deaths. Autopsy should always required to evaluate the cause of death. Some of the cases can be termed as negative autopsy since the cause of death can not be determined. This is one of the main interests of the future forensics. Molecular autopsies are one of the main practices of to reduce the negative autopsy ratios. Thus, post-mortem KCNQ1 genetic variation tests are done in sudden unexpected death cases. Material and methods: In this study 0 – 50 years old sudden-unexpected deaths autopsy cases were handled. Samples taken from cases were evaluated and “KCNQ1” genetic variation tests were done in our Department. Results: This study included 47 cases of 42 sudden unexpected death cases (0 – 50 age group) and 5 control group. 15 cases were between 40 – 50 age group and number of cases were increasing with age. 29 of cases (% 69) were male. Evaluation of body-mass index of cases were done and normal weighted cases were the most common with 21 cases (% 50). According to death locations; 17 cases had died (% 45,9) at home. Death location records of 5 cases couldn’t be found. Pathological examinations of all cases were done. We had identified fibrosis and fatty change appearances in SA node of 9 cases (% 21,4) and AV node of 13 cases (% 30,9) especially in conduction tissue examinations. As the result of KCNQ1 genetic analysis of cases, we identified sequence variations in 1638th nucleotid of exon 13 and 1986th nucleotid of exon 16. Conclusion: Cases with conduction system pathology and sequence variations of KCNQ1 genetic analysis shows that we are in need of these tests among routine practice to reduce negative autopsy ratios. Key words: KCNQ1, molecular autopsy, sudden unexpected death, conduction system, negative autopsy.
