The unusual accidental death of a pregnant woman by sexual foreplay

Eckert, William G.; Katchis, Steve; Dotson, Paul (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, September , 1991)

[less]

Abstract:	This is the case of a young pregnant black woman who died during foreplay when her male partner with his hands accidentally forced air from her vaginal cavity into her uterine cavity, causing air embolization in the veins on the surface of her heart and her brain. Her premature infant was removed by cesarean section by emergency-room personnel after she died. The infant survived for 12 days before being declared brain dead.

The development of forensic medicine in the United Kingdom from the 18th century

Eckert, William M.D. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, June , 1992)

Abstract:	Forensic medicine in the United Kingdom includes both forensic pathology and clinical forensic medicine on the living. It began at the end of the 18th century, long after its development in Germany, Italy, France, and other countries in Europe. Initial beginnings were in Scotland, where a program began at the University of Edinburgh with the establishment of a chair in Forensic Medicine by Prof. Andrew Duncan Sr. The development in England began in London's Kings College Medical School with a chair held by Prof. William A. Guy. Later chairs in Forensic Medicine were established in Glasgow, Aberdeen, and in London, where Forensic Medicine was taught at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, Guy's Hospital Medical School, London Hospital Medical School, Charing Cross Hospital Medical School, St. Thomas Hospital Medical School, and St. George's Hospital Medical School. In other cities in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, departments were founded in Leeds, Manchester, Cardiff, and Belfast. Many textbooks were prepared during this time by professors from these medical schools and by others working in nonacademic areas. The development of coroner activities and those of the police surgeons is also part of the study of forensic medicine.

Investigation of cremations and severely burned bodies

Eckert, William G.; James, Stuart; Katchis, Steve (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, September , 1988)

[more]

[less]

Abstract:	Among the most difficult cases for law enforcement and medicolegal investigators to investigate are those in which victims have been deliberately burned to cover up a crime, or those in which cremation has resulted from an accident or suicide. This difficulty arises from the fact that the bodies may be destroyed or fragmented. The major objective in these investigations are twofold: The first task is to identify the body using every means available, including the aid of such experts as forensic pathologists, forensic anthropologists, dentists, toxicologists, and serologists as well as fire investigators, who can contribute to the investigation by providing information about the course of the fire.

Introduction: exercise capacities and adaptations of people with chronic disabilities--current research, future directions, and widespread applicability

Pitetti, Kenneth H. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, April , 1993)

[less]

Abstract:	This symposium addresses the unique physiological problems, current research, future needs, and widespread applicability for research involving people experiencing five major chronic disabilities within the United States: quadriplegia, paraplegia, mental retardation, multiple sclerosis, and poliomyelitis. Each author represents ACSM members who, by their distinguished research efforts, exemplify scientists who have demonstrated their dedication to the specific needs of these populations. The papers will give a brief description of the pathophysiology of the disability and the resultant effects upon the group's acute response to exercise and their physiological adaptations to exercise programs. Each paper will include reports on the state of current research and what benefits to that group could be expected if a major research breakthrough occurred. Additionally, the papers will indicate the major research questions currently confronting each population and a brief statement about the strategy needed to resolve these questions. If applicable, the authors will address how such a model (of the specific disability/disease) could be used to better understand the able-bodied response to exercise. The purpose of this symposium, therefore, was not only to better understand the effects of exercise on persons having chronic disabilities, but from a physiological point of view, to use what we know about the response of people with chronic disabilities to better understand the able-bodied response.
