Cutting-edge accounts of special topics from various fields of forensic
pathology and death scene investigation. The authors explore new avenues
for analyzing the pathology of death from starvation (child neglect),
head injuries inflicted by glass bottles, the clinical and pathological
features of primary cerebral neoplasms, obesity as it is relevant to the
forensic pathologist, and infant and early childhood asphyxial death.
Other areas of interest covered include suicide, viral myocarditis in
sudden death cases, curious death scene phenomena (hiding, covering and
undressing), forensic entomology, the interpretation of toxicological
findings, anabolic-androgenic-steroid abuse, and autopsy findings of
subendocardial hemorrhages.
