    Abstract The author Vasile Sebastian Dâncu captures in his book the archetype of the 21st century Romanian, a lonely individual, alienated and unmotivated to participate in the making of a destiny. The author notes the stage of disjunction in which we find ourselves as Romanians on the road to social anomie, with a starting point with the alienation of the ties between the individual and the community. Main cause of destruction effects of the autochthonous self comes from the identity falsifying in the virtual environment, a global phenomenon that has reached Romania, especially the young generations, spiritually unprepared to face it. The psychoanalytic observations made in the book help the reader become aware of his own reality, of his own world in which he slips into an unconsciously. The exhortation of the author is the neverdying hope and that is in the hands and hearts of all, starting with the readers who are invited to browse and become aware through the pages that even under the darkest painting, Romania will survive. His message is optimistic, showing that it all starts with us and those who believe in the project of a nation tried by suffering, a people whose happiness must return home.

    Abstract Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a disease caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), is a particular threat to old people. At the end of March 2020, the first and so far largest outbreak of the disease occurred in a retirement home in Hamburg. Methods: Analysis of procedures in dealing with a residential unit affected by SARS-CoV­2, accommodating a risk group of 60 seniors with dementia is presented as well as a detailed presentation of post-mortem examination results of all 8 deceased tested positive for SARS-CoV­2. Results: Out of 60 residents, 39 were infected by SARS-CoV­2. Due to preventive procedures it was possible to stop further spreading of the infection to other residential areas. In all 8 fatal cases, the autopsy diagnosis was death due to COVID-19. Autopsies revealed all COVID-19 patients to have a fatal (broncho)pneumonia and signs of relevant pre-existing cardiac, renal and pulmonary conditions in all cases. In 75% (n = 6) of the cases a fresh venous thrombosis was found. In 66.7% (n = 4) of the cases thrombotic events were combined with peripheral pulmonary artery thromboembolisms. Conclusion: The cohort of SARS-CoV­2 infected residents of a nursing home is characteristic for clinical and epidemiological features of the new coronavirus disease. Due to a centralized evaluation of all fatalities at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Hamburg, a detailed examination of all deceased positive for SARS-CoV­2 was possible. Thereby, increased case fatality rates of approximately 20% could in all cases be assigned to a relevant number of pre-existing comorbidities of multiple organ systems, which was consistent with the clinical data available.

    Abstract Background: Knowledge of the exact organ manifestation is essential for a comprehensive understanding of COVID-19 infection. Here, the histopathological changes in the pituitary and adrenal glands were analyzed.
    Methods: In this series, the formalin-fixed tissues of 63 pituitary glands and 50 adrenal glands were examined. We performed HE and PAS staining and examined COVID-19 nucleocapsid antibody immunohistochemically in the pituitary glands and adrenals.
    Results: Histologically, there was no evidence of COVID-19-specific changes in the pituitary and adrenal glands. Large pituitary necrosis may be interpreted as a shock reaction. Independent of infection, we found one T-cell lymphoma, two adenomas, and four Rathke-type cysts in the pituitary glands, and 70% of the adrenal glands showed decreased lipid content and an increase in compact cells as a stress response. In addition, a cortical adenoma in one adrenal gland and small cortical nodules in three adrenal glands were detected independently of COVID-19.
    Conclusion: Pituitary and adrenal glands do not appear histologically predominant in the course of COVID-19.

    Title translation One and a half years of e-scooters in Hamburg.
    Abstract Background: Since the spread of the so-called electric scooters (e-scooters) through rental services in Hamburg as of June 2019, accidents due to the use of this means of transportation have been regularly registered. The most frequent injury patterns among e‑scooter riders involved accidents concerning the upper extremities and the head. There was a relevant accumulation of drunk drivers among the injured persons.
    Objective: The aim of the study is to compare injury patterns in drunk versus non-drunk e‑scooter riders who had an accident.
    Material and methods: Data from the Department of Trauma Surgery at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf were retrospectively analyzed for accidents involving e‑scooters and the resulting injury patterns. For this purpose, the gender, age, injury pattern of the persons, the course of the accident, and information on previous alcohol consumption were recorded descriptively for the period from June 2019 to December 2021.
    Results: Drivers were on average 32 (interval: 15-88 years) years old and those under the influence of alcohol were predominantly male (69.9%). Accidents occurred mainly in summer and at night. Common injury patterns were injuries to the face, head, and extremities.
    Conclusion: It should be noted that injuries to the face and head occurred more frequently under the influence of alcohol than in the cohort without alcohol. Education about the health and legal consequences of riding an e‑scooter under the influence of alcohol should be provided to all users. In addition, wearing a helmet or banning driving at night are possible measures to reduce accidents associated with drunk riding.

    Abstract In the past years the number of hospital autopsies have declined steadily, becoming almost excluded from medical training. Medicolegal (forensic) autopsies account for almost all autopsies, whereas hospital autopsies are becoming increasingly rare. Minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) using post mortem ultrasound offers the opportunity to increase the number of post mortem examinations in a clinical and even forensic context. MITS is a needle-based post mortem procedure that uses (radiological) imaging techniques to examine major organs of the body, acquire tissue samples and aspirate fluid from the body cavities or hollow organs. In this study, MITS was used to determine the presence of other co-existing diseases in a deceased infected 97-year-old woman with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The examination of her body was carried out using ultrasound as an imaging tool and to gather ultrasound-guided biopsies as conventional autopsy was rejected by the next of kin. Ultrasound and histology identified an intravesical mass leading to an obstruction of the urinary outlet resulting in bilateral hydronephrosis and purulent pyelonephritis, which was unknown during her lifetime. Histopathological examination revealed the tumor mass to be a squamous cell carcinoma. This study has shown that MITS can be used to determine the cause of death and the presence of concomitant diseases in the infectious deceased.

    Abstract Due to the specific vacuum requirements for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the Raman microscope has to operate in vacuum in a correlative Raman-SEM, which is a type of microscope combination that has recently increased in popularity. This works considers the implications of conducting Raman microscopy under vacuum, as opposed to operating in ambient air, the standard working regime of this technique. We show that the performance of the optics of the Raman microscope are identical in both conditions, but laser beam-sample interactions, such as fluorescent bleaching and beam damage, might be different due to the lack of oxygen in vacuum. The bleaching of the fluorescent background appears to be mostly unaffected by the lack of oxygen, except when very low laser powers are used. Regarding laser-beam damage, organic samples are more sensitive in vacuum than in air, whereas no definite verdict is possible for inorganic samples. These findings have practical implications for the application of correlative Raman-SEM, as low laser powers, or in extreme cases cryo-methods, need to be used for organic samples that appear only moderately beam sensitive under usual ambient air.

    Abstract The mutilation and encasement of corpses are rare in daily forensic work, but when they occur, close cooperation between different disciplines, such as legal medicine and forensic anthropology, is necessary to obtain the most valuable results. One forensic examination method is the radiological evaluation of victims or body parts by postmortem CT (pmCT) and X-ray images. In relation to a case described in this paper, an empirical study was conducted to figure out the value of radiological imaging and the ability to visualize and temporally classify changes in a corpse encased in concrete. For this purpose, the head and paw of a pig were encased in concrete and scanned regularly over a period of one year. Body parts such as the head and paw are clearly visible on X-ray images. Although decay-related changes are shown, a specific minimum time interval cannot yet be found, as these changes occur continuously in lesser amounts.
