Subarachnoid hemorrhage in a Japanese cocaine abuser: Cocaine-related sudden death
Meander, extension, and degeneration of the internal elastic lamina of the right anterior cerebral artery (rt-ACA) were observed near the bifurcation from the anterior communicating artery (Acom). This area corresponded macroscopically with that considered to be the bleeding point from the blood vessel.This case was diagnosed as cocaine (COC)-related sudden death. (Source: Legal Medicine)

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry detection of benzalkonium chloride (BZK) in a forensic autopsy case with survival for 18 days post BZK ingestion
Benzalkonium chloride (BZK) is a cationic surfactant that is widely used in disinfectants and sanitizers in hospitals, private residences, and public places [1,2]. There have been many cases reported of accidental or intentional poisoning with BZK in the field of clinical and forensic medicine [3 –9]. However, few reports have detailed blood BZK levels in human poisoning cases, and those that have, used high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a UV detector [8,10] or gas chromatography (GC) with a flame ionization detector [5,11].

Concordance of mitochondrial DNA sequencing methods on bloodstains using Ion PGM ™
Multiple parallel sequencing (MPS) technology has led to revolutionary changes in many fields in recent years. Using this new method, gigabytes of sequencing data can be acquired at relatively low costs. Thus, forensic geneticists can obtain more information from traditional forensic identification markers and analyze multiple markers simultaneously to reduce the amount of sample DNA used and increase the statistical weight of evidence [1].

Infant fatality case with excessive chylous ascites
Chylous ascites is a relatively rare disease. Although its incidence is unknown, chylous ascites has been reported in one per 50,000 –100,000 admitted patients [1]. In adults, chylous ascites is commonly caused by inflammation, malignant tumors, or iatrogenic factors (resulting from surgery). In more than 50% of cases among children, the cause of chylous ascites is unknown; however, the disease is most likely caused by congenit al conditions, such as lymphatic hypoplasia or dysfunction [1–3]. The identified causes of child chylous ascites include lymphangioma, lymphadenopathy, tumors, intestinal malrotation, and trauma...
