Such assaults may result in the death of the victim due to different causes. Aim of this study was to present the childhood deaths determined as associated with sexual abuse according to smear results, genital and postmortem examinations, to determine the groups under the risk, and to contribute to the identification of the offenders. Methods: 17 cases of sexual child abuse with lethal outcome in the State Institute of Forensic Medicine in Istanbul, Turkey have been investigated in a five years' period from 1996 to 2000. Results: Most of the victims were female. In terms of cause of death, five cases were evaluated as general body trauma, three as gun shot, three as hanging, four as fatal pressure on the neck, one as strangulation with tie, one as narcotic intoxication. Conclusion: Such cases are very rare so that epidemiological conclusions concerning escalating violence of the youth cannot be drawn. However, sexual abuse of child resulting in death is the most severe form of an attack against the physical and psychological integrity of a still growing individual and its prevention requires a multidisciplinary approach, vigilance and the community's enhanced sensitivity to this topic. Death associated with sexual abuse is also dealt in this study.Öğe Physician Responsibilty and Medical Malpractice After the Legal Regulations(Aves Yayincilik, Ibrahim Kara, 2010) Altun, Gurcan; Yorulmaz, Abdullah CoskunOur penal codes were reviewed again in 2005. Some changes were made in routine forensic services and legal responsibilities of physicians. After the legal regulations, physicians began to worry about serious troubles they can live because of their medical malpractice. This situation is not unique only to our country. In many countries of the world, there have been similar practices in force for a long time. Especially because of the compensation due to malpractice insurance, physicians are in difficult situations. If physicians comply with principles and rules of medical ethics, the laws will protect them.Öğe Shot range estimation of shotgun grain-loaded cartridges(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2020) Meric, Cagda; Polat, Mustafa Onder; Altun, GurcanCommercial grain-loaded cartridges for shotguns have been recently associated with injuries and fatalities. These cartridges are generally used as a scare gun for large animals, with a little probability of causing harm. Almost all grain-loaded cartridges contain one type of cereal grain, such as bulgur wheat, wheat or vetch seed, instead of lead pellets. Our study aimed to investigate the shot range estimation of grain-loaded cartridges and assess the variations from conventional lead pellet cartridges. In this study, eight different brands of grain-loaded cartridges were used. The inspections and measurements were made with cartridges that contain cereal grains, gunpowder and wads. Shots were made from 50, 100, 200, 300, 500 cm with modified and improved cylinder chokes. Diameter of grain distribution patterns on targets were measured. These measurements were evaluated statistically considering brand, choke and distance variables. Both satellite entry holes and central entry holes were detected in all shots that were fired from 50 cm distance. The smallest average diameter of grain distribution pattern between 8 different brands were measured as 14.3, 38.3, 58.5 and 83.4 cm for 100, 200, 300 and 500 cm respectively with modified choke. Gathered data from this study was compared with the studies conducted with conventional cartridges and differences were determined. It was detected that the grain-loaded cartridges showed much wider distribution on targets at the same shooting distance with the same and similar barrel lengths and choke values compared to conventional lead pellet containing cartridges.

When a rifle fitted with a flash suppressor is fired, the emerging soot-laden gas in the barrel escapes from the slits of the flash suppressor. If the shot is contact or near contact, the flash suppressor will produce a characteristic flower-like pattern of seared, blackened zones around the entrance. This paper presents the injury pattern of the flash suppressor in a 29-year-old man who committed suicide with a G3 automatic infantry rifle. Hippokratia. 2012; 16 (2): 189-190
