The analysis of radiation-induced micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocytes for purpose of biological dosimetry by Le Roux, Jacques

“…Although occasionally in these situations physical dose measurements are possible, most often biological methods are required for dose estimation. The aim of this investigation was to assess the suitability of the cytokinesis blocked (CB) micronucleus assay as a biodosimetric method using lymphocytes irradiated in vivo. …”

The development and validation of an ABL835 FLEX Blood Gas Analyser method for the quantitation of glucose, lactate, and electrolytes in post-mortem vitreous humour by Van Vuuren, Andrew

“…As such, VH has frequently been described as the specimen of choice in biochemical forensic investigations to identify potential ante-mortem conditions and to estimate the post-mortem interval. The lack of a validated method for post-mortem biochemistry analysis using VH as part of routine toxicology testing within the Western Cape province of South Africa motivated the primary aim of this study, which was to develop and validate a method for the analysis of glucose, lactate, and electrolytes (potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl-) and calcium (Ca2+)) using an ABL835 FLEX blood gas analyser. …”

The utility of occlusion of the pulse oximeter trace in the estimation of systolic blood pressure during spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section: the effect of body mass index by Samuel, Theresa

“…Background: We compared the accuracy and precision of estimation of the systolic blood pressure (SBP) by disappearance of the pulse oximeter trace (DOT), with noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement, across the range of body mass index (BMI), during spinal anaesthesia (SA) for caesarean section (CS). …”

A numerical protocol for death-time estimation by Mfolozi, Sipho

“…A body's axial temperature distribution at death was experimentally demonstrated by the author to predict the postmortem temperature plateau (PMTP), which is known to affect the measured core temperature value and hence death-time estimation. Yet today's methods of death-time estimation apply only a single-point approximation of a body's core temperature in life as well as a single-point measurement of a body's core temperature after death. …”

Risk factors associated with blood pressure variation in sickle cell disease in Cameroon by Nguweneza, Arthemon

“…Background: In SCD patients, studies have shown that increased Blood Pressure (BP) is associated with higher risk of stroke and mortality, even in a range of systolic BP(SBP) and diastolic BP(DBP) that are considered relatively normal for the general population (i.e., lower than 140 mmHg). …”
