Introduction: Human identification is one of the most challenging subjects that forensic experts have came across. Identity is a set of physical characteristics, or a functional or psychic, normal or pathological, that define an individual.1 Scientific identification of human remains might be accomplished by fingerprint, dental, anthropological, genetic or radiological examinations.2,3 When it is not possible to apply the scientific method of fingerprint identification, it demands a forensic medicine

One of the biggest sports in America, also one of the most dangerous- football. People all over have either seen or played the sport themselves; maybe even some of them have felt the head jarring pain of a concussion. This problem is hanging cloudy over the players, teams, and the biggest network of football, the NFL. Lawsuits have resulted from these painful headaches; but these painful, long lasting headaches can leave nasty, long term effects. My reasoning behind choosing such a controversial

A 59-year-old woman comes to her physician’s office 2 months after noticing a nodule on the back of her upper neck. She is very active and plays golf in her spare time. Given her outdoor activities, she thought that she had a mosquito bite; however, the nodule has not improved over the past 3 weeks. The nodule has started to grow larger, itches and bleeds when scratched. The patient denies having any other significant past medical history. Examination shows a 0.75-cm (7.5-mm) lesion on the back of

discuss these topics along with the treatments, procedures and expected outcomes. Also, you will learn about the first procedure ever done, and what led to such a form of treatment. A craniotomy, in simple terms, is surgically removing a portion of the skull so that the brain is exposed. There are several types of craniotomies, which include: • Craniectomy • Endoscopic craniotomy • “Eyebrow” craniotomy (AKA supra-orbital craniotomy) • “Keyhole” craniotomy (AKA retro-sigmoid craniotomy) • Stereotactic

the inside of the skull (head) How the injury occurred: A concussion is a brain injury that is caused by a hit to the face, head or neck. During a hockey match, when 2 people collide (even their bodies, not necessarily their head), this can cause a sudden jarring motion of the head, which in turn can cause a concussion. Concussion can also occur when a player collides with the goal post and knock themselves unconscious. In a concussion, the brain hits the inside of the skull, damaging brain tissue

The sacrum consists of five vertebrae that begin to fuse during adolescence and completely fuse around the age of thirty. There are four curvatures of the vertebral column the cervical and lumbar are termed lordotic and project posteriorly while the thoracic and sacrum curvature is known as a kyphotic and curves anteriorly. Another name for the coccyx is the tailbone. Knee The artery that is located behind the knee is the popliteal artery which branches off of the femoral artery. Blood Flow through

What is the purpose of this exercise? Is there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so, list what they are and what precautions should be taken. To identify 3 main bone groups and describe different vertebra Exercise 1: The Skull QUESTIONS: A. Name the eight bones of the cranium. frontal bone, 2 parietal bones, 2 temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid, ethmoid. B. What function do the cranial bones serve? To protect the sense organs and the brain C. List the bones

percentile male human head. It is suggested that the brain 's mechanical response is altered by the size of the head, the central fissure and sulcus, the tentorium and Dura matter. Hence, these components have to be taken into account. The shape of the skull, the composition of gray and white matter, geometry of other soft tissues and the volume of cerebrospinal fluid vary greatly between even similar sized tissues, so no two persons have the exact same response. Hence, a universally relevant head response

here laying on the same patterned blanket. Wrapped tightly around the skull were three layers of duct tape. Dr. Garavaglia was able to note that this was done prior to any decomposition of the body. This was because the mandible remained attached to the skull after decomposition had occurred completely. (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011) Usually, once the soft tissue breaks away, there is nothing holding the lower jaw to the upper skull portion. The tape had held the mandible in place and all of the baby
