    Notes: Abstract The period since death was estimated at the scene in 72 consecutive cases using the temperature-based nomogram method as the primary method and supplemented by examination of criteria such as lividity, rigor mortis, mechanical and electrical excitability of skeletal muscle and chemical excitability of the iris. A case-oriented, computer-assisted selection of the non-temperature-based methods and integration of the results into a common result of the compound method was made following a special logistic. The limits of the period since death as estimated by the nomogram were improved in 49 cases by including the non-temperature-based methods and also provided results in 4 cases where the temperature method could not be used. In a further 6 cases the non-temperature-based methods confirmed the limits estimated by the temperature method but in 14 cases a useful result could not be obtained. In only one of the cases investigated was the upper limit of the period since death, as estimated by the criterion re-establishment of rigor (8 h post-mortem), in contradiction with the period determined by the police investigations (9.4 h post-mortem).

    Notes: Abstract The pancreatic islets from 112 infants (66 males and 46 females) who died of SIDS during the years 1990– 1992 have been studied. The control group consisted of endocrine pancreas tissue from 19 infants who died of a clear cause of death (pneumonia, drowning, sepsis, etc.). The mean age of the SIDS group was 5.1 months. We found histologically normally developed organs in all the SIDS cases. By evaluating the relative endocrine cell area of the pancreas by immunohistochemical investigations, A-cells were found to make up 10–30%, B-cells 30–60%, D-cells 10–30% and pancreatic polypeptide cells less than 10% in the SIDS group and in the controls with a small increase in glucagon and insulin cells among SIDS cases. The morphometric evaluation revealed that cell enlargement and cytoplasm shrinking occurred slightly more often in the SIDS group than in the control group. The diameter of the islets was normal and the maximal volume was not enlarged. The results did not show significant differences so that a relationship between alterations of the endocrine pancreas and sudden infant death syndrome could not be demonstrated.

    Notes: Abstract The temperature-based nomogram method for estimation of the time period since death was used at the scene of death as the primary method within a compound method in 72 consecutive cases. The situation and cooling conditions inspected and evaluated by the forensic pathologist at the scene are described as far as necessary to ¶enable handling of the method. A comparison of the ¶estimated period since death with the period determined by the police investigations demonstrates the reliability ¶of the method. There were no contradictions in any of the 60 cases between the period of death estimated by this method and that determined by the police investigations. The criminal investigations were effectively supported in the earliest stages in 11 cases despite the fact that the period estimated was of considerable duration.
