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
