“…The reasons for this dominance are easily understood. The United States boasted significant resources to invest in advanced scientific and technological research and to offer adequate resources and incentives to researchers (Zangpo et al, 2022 ), which greatly facilitated the development and innovation of microbiological research techniques. Moreover, technological innovation has further enabled the development of microbial forensics.…”

Microbial forensics is a rapidly evolving discipline that has gained significant momentum in recent years. The study evaluated relevant results over the last four decades from 1984 to 2022 all over the world, aiming to analyze the growing trends and research orientations of microbial forensics. Using “microbial forensics” as the search topic in the Web of Science Core Collection, the systematic retrieval identified 579 documents relevant to the field and draw many statistical tables and maps to make the retrieval results visible. According to further bibliometric analysis, there are an increasing number of publications related to microbial forensics from the overall trend, with the highest number of publications recorded in 2021. In terms of the total number of articles, the USA and China were both the leading contributors to the field among 40 countries. The field has developed rapidly in recent years based on the development of next-generation sequencing. Over the course of its development, there are rich keywords in the research of scholars, which focus on diversity and identification. Moreover, despite the early hot topic being PCR (the use of PCR to probe microorganisms), in recent years, the topics, markers, and the potential application of microorganisms in forensic practice have become hot, which also indicates the future research directions of microbial forensic.

“…The Department of Forensic Medicine at Tokyo Imperial University was established in 1889, and the government of Japan introduced the crime procedure law and stipulated the provision of a judicial autopsy system in 1890 1,2 . Currently, both the criminal and civil justice system, as well as public health and social welfare programs are subjected to forensic medicine in Japan.…”

Japan has various death investigation systems; however, external examinations, postmortem computed tomography, macroscopic examinations, and microscopic examinations are performed regardless of the system used. These examinations can reveal morphological abnormalities, whereas the cause of death in cases with non-morphological abnormalities can be detected through additional examinations.Molecular autopsy and postmortem genetic analyses are important additional examinations. They are capable of detecting inherited arrhythmias or inherited metabolic diseases, which are representative non-morphological disorders that cause sudden death, especially in infants and young people. In this review, we introduce molecular autopsy reports from Japan and describe our experience with representative cases. The relationships between drug-related deaths and genetic variants are also reviewed. Based on the presented information, molecular autopsy is expected to be used as routine examinations in death investigations because they can provide information to save new lives.

“…2 In south Asia forensic medicine although has been established at the same time period as the other developed countries around the world, however, its further development has stagnated and thus has led to an underdeveloped medical setup in South Asia. 3 As forensic medicine is an integral part of the field of medicine, it needs to be learned and taught effectively. There are a number of learning styles that help in the facilitation of individuals in the given circumstances.…”

Objective: To evaluate the learning styles and strategies among the undergraduate students of forensic medicine. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Al-Tibri Medical College and Hospital, Isra University Karachi Campus. Period: January 2022 to June 2022. Material & Methods: 100 undergraduate students of forensic medicine were selected for this study, after taking a verbal consent and explain the proforma about the learning style using the VARK questionnaire, along with their preferred learning strategies. Then the learning styles were also correlated with gender using the independent t-test. Data was tabulated in mean and standard deviation form for quantitative variables. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 and the p-vale of <0.05 was kept as significant. Results: Out of the 100 participants in our study, 53 were female while 47 were male. When it came to preferred learning strategy the most preferred was CBL (91%), followed by TBL (86%), and practical (82%). Read-write had the highest mean± S.D for male (7.41±1.80) and female (7.21±1.09). Followed by kinesthetic (male:7.85±2.14, female: 6.31±1.20). Significant difference in gender correlation was only seen in Auditory (p=0.04). Conclusion: Read-write was the preferred learning style according to the VARK theory, while CBL was the preferred learning strategy in undergraduate students of forensic medicine due to student centered learning approach.
