The study of the human corpses who died from the coronavirus infection COVID-19 allows to define the exact cause of death, which helps clinicians in choosing a timely and effective treatment to reduce mortality. The study analyzed the current literature with the results of studies of cadaveric material and described macro- and microscopic autopsy findings we observed. The description of autopsy cases of those who died from COVID-19 is certainly important for a comprehensive analysis of this problem and is of high clinical and epidemiological interest.
The topic of the development of suicidal behavior has remained relevant for many years. Every year there are more and more reports of new morphological changes in brain tissue. The presented analytical review of the literature concerns the state of the issue of studying the morphology of macroglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and the blood-brain barrier in suicide. Determining the characteristic morphology of death due to suicide can potentially become an evidence base for confirming or excluding factors of suicide development when assessing the causes of death. Further research is needed to form a clearer picture of the changes in relation to the practice of forensic medical examination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
