“…Naik V et al (2013) [8] reported that in 80% cases death occurred within two days of sustaining trauma. Similar findings were also reported by Subedi N et al (2013) [15]. It was noticed that youngsters of second and third decade, victims with associated injuries of chest had long survival period as compared to children and elderly people, and victims with associated injuries of head who had considerably …”

“…The almost inverse percentages observed in these countries when compared with our sample reflect the different circumstances related to AT in each locality. Most cases of IML-BH autopsies were related to homicides (78.6%), especially cases of penetrating trauma, whereas in the Portuguese study, traffic accidents and falls were the most prevalent (76.1%), and in the Nepalese study, traffic accidents were the majority (87.5%), which are more related to blunt trauma 20,21 . In addition, our sample consisted only of fatal cases, while the Portuguese series also considered those who survived, and penetrating trauma displayed higher average mortality 20 .…”

Objective: to evaluate the epidemiological profile of deaths due to abdominal trauma at the Forensic Medicine Institute of Belo Horizonte, MG - Brazil. Methods: we conducted a retrospective study of the reports of deaths due to abdominal trauma autopsied from 2006 to 2011. Results: we analyzed 1.888 necropsy reports related to abdominal trauma. Penetrating trauma was more common than blunt one and gunshot wounds were more prevalent than stab wounds. Most of the individuals were male, brown-skinned, single and occupationally active. The median age was 34 years. The abdominal organs most injured in the penetrating trauma were the liver and the intestines, and in blunt trauma, the liver and the spleen. Homicide was the most prevalent circumstance of death, followed by traffic accidents, and almost half of the cases were referred to the Forensic Medicine Institute by a health unit. The blood alcohol test was positive in a third of the necropsies where it was performed. Cocaine and marijuana were the most commonly found substances in toxicology studies. Conclusion: in this sample. there was a predominance of penetrating abdominal trauma in young, brown and single men, the liver being the most injured organ.

The effect of steatosis and fibrosis on blunt force vulnerability of the liver

et al. 2020

The aim of our study was to examine the possible effect of steatosis and fibrosis on the blunt force vulnerability of human liver tissue. 3.5 × 3.5 × 2-cm-sized liver tissue blocks were removed from 135 cadavers. All specimens underwent microscopical analysis. The tissue samples were put into a test stand, and a metal rod with a square-shaped head was pushed against the capsular surface. The force (Pmax) causing liver rupture was measured and registered with a Mecmesin AFG-500 force gauge. Six groups were formed according to the histological appearance of the liver tissue: intact (group 1), mild steatosis (group 2), moderate steatosis (group 3), severe steatosis (group 4), fibrosis (group 5), and cirrhosis (group 6). The average Pmax value was 34.1 N in intact liver samples (range from 18.
