    Abstract Rape and sexual violence occur in all social classes and societies. In most cases, the sexual offenders are known to the victim and the majority of rapes happen in intimate relationships. Children are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse, in particular, the female sex. The sexual abuse of minors is defined as “any sexual activities that an adult carries on or with a person under the age of consent.” Literature evidence that the prevalence of any type of violence among women with disabilities varies between 26.0% and 90.0%, compared to nondisabled women, showing that people with disabilities have an increased risk of suffering physical and sexual violence. Children with intellectual disabilities (ID) show a high risk of sexual victimization. The World Health Organization presently defines mental retardation as “a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information and to learn and apply new skills (impaired intelligence). This results in a reduced ability to cope independently (impaired social functioning), and begins before adulthood, with a lasting effect on development.” The aim of this study is to investigate the correct identification of sexual abuse and severe mental retardation through the collaboration of a team of experts (forensic pathologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, gynecologist, pediatrician, and social worker). We present a case of a 12-year-old female child, who suffers from severe mental retardation and was the victim of rape by a 79-year-old man. The study shows the difficulties in discovering episodes of sexual abuse among children affected by ID by evidencing the importance of adequate analysis through a multidisciplinary approach. The work focuses on the need to improve knowledge about medical and forensic investigations through proper protocols, for early recognition and appropriate management of these complicated cases.

    Abstract Accidental aspiration of barium is a rare event. We present the case of a patient who, after the administration of barium, he showed sudden cough with dyspnea and vomiting and chemical pneumonia with areas of consolidation. The case emphasizes caution when administering barium to patients at risk of aspiration.

    Abstract The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought numerous challenges, including the management of psychological and psychiatric disorders, leading to an increased risk of suicide. At the end of the COVID-19 emergency, we wonder what the impact of the pandemic has been, and still is, on the state of public mental health with respect to the phenomenon of suicide. Therefore, this review aims to explore the psychological and forensic aspects of suicide in the post-COVID-19 emergency era. The paper will delve into the various psychiatric disorders associated in the literature with COVID-19, the risk factors for suicide during the pandemic, and measures that can be taken to prevent suicide in the post-COVID-19 era. Additionally, the paper will look at how forensic experts investigate suicide cases due to COVID-19 and the legal implications of suicide due to the pandemic. The findings of this study will provide insights into the psychological and forensic aspects of suicide in the post-COVID era, and emphasize interventions and policy development to address this growing public health concern.

    Abstract Asphyxia includes a large number of possible causes and mechanisms, such as infectious diseases of the lungs. Among these, tuberculosis (TB) is one of the main infectious causes of death worldwide. The burden of TB is very high, by virtue of antibiotic resistance and the risk of other concomitant infections, such as HIV. A major problem is related to the omitted diagnosis of TB infection which, in some cases, may remain completely unknown to the patient, with a significant increase in mortality and morbidity risk. There has been a decrease in the reported cases of sudden death due to TB, especially that associated with hemoptysis and aspiration of blood. In this report, we describe a case of sudden death that occurred in a young male in the workplace, under unclear circumstances. The autopsy detected acute asphyxia due to a massive pulmonary hemorrhage in the individual, who was apparently suffering from TB. The autopsy proved to be essential for understanding the cause of death and investigating the adequacy of the health surveillance measures carried out on the individual.

    Abstract Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents a global emergency, with a high number of cases affecting all age groups every year. The prevention of these fatal events requires an accurate knowledge of etiology and pathogenesis, which can vary. Autopsy is an indispensable tool in cases of SCD for diagnostic purposes, as well as for judicial and preventive purposes for family members. Despite the completion of all routine post-mortem investigations, it is often complicated for the forensic pathologist to define the triggering cause of these events. The study of the proteome is proving to be extremely promising in the field of human cardiovascular disease. This paper aims to offer a literature review on the study of the proteome in post-mortem cadaveric biological samples obtained from SCD cases. The aim of this work is to outline the state of the art of the scientific advances that protein analysis can offer in the diagnosis of SCD and the limits that various studies have traced up to now. In conclusion, the work defines the future perspectives of this field in SCD, suggesting strategies to overcome the reported limits and improve the diagnostics of these events.
